  • Patent number: 11809421
    Abstract: Systems and methods for storing and querying voluminous “big data” are described, with application to append-only hyperscale databases. The methods dispense with blob abstractions such as objects and file systems, instead storing data as addressable binary sequences at all stages of storage and querying. In particular, a microservices architecture system arrangement combines with a powerful data format to create an architecture for executing an external query using a distributed process.

  • Publication number: 20230274578
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for intelligently switching between cloud processing mode and edge processing mode based on a variety of criteria, such as the desired eye-tracker settings (e.g., minimum tracker rate, ideal tracker rate, and processing mode) and the available network capabilities (e.g., latency, bandwidth, and the like). The criteria used for determining whether buffered cloud processing is viable include such parameters as upload bandwidth, tolerable processing delay, buffer drain rate, buffer fill rate, and maximum session duration. The cloud processing system may be used instead of available edge processing in cases where there are benefits to doing so, e.g., the cloud processing system provides added functionality, such as improved data analytics.
