Publication number: 20260189736Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described for reducing the amount of storage space required to store content item recordings. A content item may include one or more portions. A playback probability may be determined based on a duration of time a content item is stored in a storage location. One or more of the portions of the content item may be removed based on the playback probability associated with the content item.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2026Publication date: July 2, 2026Inventors: Alexander Giladi, Robert Dandrea

Publication number: 20250217853Abstract: Methods and systems relating to generating and correlating metadata with a content item are disclosed. For example, a computing device may generate one or more timestamp indicators to be associated with a content item. Each timestamp indicator may be correlated to metadata and may be associated with a time point or time interval in a duration of the content item. A requesting device may generate a request for metadata that may comprise an identifier of a timestamp indicator. The request may be generated, for example, based on determining a user of the device is requesting display of an interactive application. Upon receiving a metadata request comprising an identifier of a timestamp indicator, a computing device may transmit metadata correlated to the timestamp indicator to the requesting device or to another user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2025Publication date: July 3, 2025Inventors: Pritesh Patel, Robert Dandrea

Publication number: 20050120262Abstract: A method and apparatus for reconstructing lost data from a failed disk drive in a disk array. The disk drive array formed into at least one parity group including data extents divided into data segments and parity segments that are generated from the data segments. The method includes providing access to the array, identifying a failed drive and failed parity group associated with the failed drive, and retrieving the parity segments from operative drives in a parity group containing the failed drive in an instance data is being read from the failed parity group. Parity information is reconstructed for the failed disk drive from the parity segments on the operative disk drives, and data segments of the extent associated with the failed disk drive is reconstructed from the reconstructed parity information, and the parity segments and data segments on the operative disk drives of the failed parity group.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2004Publication date: June 2, 2005Inventor: Robert Dandrea
