  • Publication number: 20230401610
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230232469
    Abstract: Methods and systems for pairing devices are disclosed. A user device may be used to navigate to a resource locator using. In response to a determination that an identifier associated with the user device matches at least one identifier associated with one or more devices accessing a first network, a paired communication may be established between the user device and a display device to facilitate control of one or more features of display device.

  • Publication number: 20050120262
    Abstract: 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.
