Patent number: 11442843Abstract: Various arrangements for debugging a hung thread of a software application are presented. A thread monitor module may be executed that monitors for any hung threads within a plurality of executing threads. A monitoring initialization message may be received that initiates thread monitoring of a thread. In response to the monitoring initialization message, tracking of the thread may be commenced by determining whether an update message for the thread has been received within an amount of time allotted for the update message to be sent. If the update message is not received, the thread may be identified as hung. Debugging information generated in response to identifying the hung thread may be used for creating an improved version of the software application that prevents the hang.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: DISH Network Technologies India Private LimitedInventors: Gajanan Hegde, Rakesh Eluvan

Publication number: 20220166760Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing secure remote connections to media devices establish a secure shell (SSH) connection between two machines which are located in two different private networks, such as between a remote debugging computer and a receiving device. The receiving device has a persistent outbound connection with a message server. The remote debugging computer connects to a relay manager and obtains a relay instance IP address and port. The relay manager then forwards the relay instance IP address and port to the receiving device via the message server. After receiving the connection request from the message server, the receiving device connects to the relay instance IP and port and waits for the input data. The remote debugging computer performs an SSH handshake and the receiving device directly authenticates the SSH connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2022Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventors: Gopikumar Ranganathan, Rakesh Eluvan Periyaeluvan, Ranjith Rajan

SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR OPTIMIZING STREAMING BITRATE BASED ON VARIATIONS IN PROCESSOR LOAD
Publication number: 20220046304Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for optimizing streaming bitrate in response to variations in processor load. In various embodiments, a streaming media server includes a processor and a computer-readable storage medium, which stores computer-readable code or instructions. When executed by the processor, the computer-readable code causes the server to encode segments of a video stream at a final variable bitrate (ABRFINAL). The encoded segments are transmitted from the server, over a network, and to a first client media receiver for presentation to an end-user. The steps of encoding and transmitting are repeated during a streaming video session with the first client media receiver, while varying a value of ABRFINAL based, at least in part, upon a running average of a processor load placed on the processor (LOADAVG).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: SLING MEDIA PVT LTDInventors: RAKESH ELUVAN, JAYAPRAKASH RAMARAJ -
Publication number: 20220030300Abstract: Presented here is a method and system of operating set-top boxes with clients in a network that includes configuring a set-top box (STB) to reconnect to a client that exits from a streaming session. The method includes executing a streaming data from the STB to the client and in response to the client exiting the streaming session, maintaining the streaming session in the active state after the client has exited. Further continuing to transcode audio/video data after the client has exited and relinquishing audio/video data that is continuously transcoded and received in the streaming session up until a defined period. Thereafter, upon receiving a request by the client to reconnect, identifying the client for reconnection to the exited client from the streaming session and linking the client seamlessly so the client resumes reception of the streamed data without any interruption in the transcode of the AV data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2020Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: SLING MEDIA PVT LTDInventors: RAKESH ELUVAN PERIYAELUVAN, JAYAPRAKASH NARAYANAN RAMARAJ

Publication number: 20200301818Abstract: Systems and methods for remote debugging perform remote debugging of a receiving device, such as a set-top box or other connected media player, even when the receiving device is located behind a firewall. The receiving device has a persistent outbound connection with a message server. Since it is an outbound connection, it connects across firewall restrictions. A remote debug machine sends a message via the message server to the receiving device over a network. The message carries the command/operation to be executed by the receiving device. The receiving device, which receives the command, executes the command and sends the output of the command to a debug data upload server to which the remote debug machine has access.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2019Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Rakesh Eluvan Periyaeluvan, Gopikumar Ranganathan, Amit Kumar

Publication number: 20200213273Abstract: Server devices operating on the Internet or another wide area network (WAN) are able to locate client devices using address information obtained from a shared location. Client devices initially determine their own network address information and submit the determined information for a priori storage at the shared location on the WAN. Each server device, in turn, contacts a message service or the like to establish a persistent data connection that is maintained between the message service and the server device over time. After the client device stores its own address information, the client initiates contact with the server via the message service having the previously-established persistent connection. Upon receipt of the instruction from the message service, the server is able to retrieve the client's previously-stored address information from the WAN storage and use the information to establish a connection with the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicant: SLING MEDIA PVT LTDInventors: Rakesh Eluvan Periyaeluvan, Gopikumar Ranganathan
