Abstract: Inter-party communications, such as telephony communications, virtual meeting communications, or messaging communications, are switched between clients while in progress. An inter-party communication may be detected at a first client. A channel may then be opened between the first client and a second client responsive to an operator initiating switching the inter-party communication from the first client to the second client. The inter-party communication may be switched from the first client to the second client using the channel while the inter-party communication remains in progress. The inter-party communication may then be continued at the second client.

Abstract: An apparatus for model selection between a first model and a second model using projector inferencing is provided. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory contains instructions configuring the processor to receive an entity datum from an entity device and a second datum from a client device connected to the processor. The second datum describes matching the entity datum based on a preferred allocation with target values using the models. The processor may run two projectors capable of outputting operational values by projecting the entity datum over a defined duration. The processor may score operational values to target values using a fuzzy inferencing system. Scoring the operational values may include classifying an operational value and the second datum to categories organized sequentially in multiple discrete increments.

Abstract: For detecting and resolving bad audio during conferencing, methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The processor detects bad audio for a conference call, the conference call involving a plurality of participants. The processor switches a first input stream to an analysis mode, where the bad audio corresponds to a first one of a plurality of input streams, the first input stream associated with a first participant. The processor sends a conference output channel to the first participant while in the analysis mode and concurrently analyzes the first input stream using a plurality of audio tools while in the analysis mode. The processor returns the first input stream to a conferencing mode in response to resolving the bad audio.

Abstract: A data recorder stores endpoint activity on an ongoing basis as sequences of events that causally relate computer objects such as processes and files. When a security event is detected, an event graph may be generated based on these causal relationships among the computing objects. For a root cause analysis, the event graph may be traversed in a reverse order from the point of an identified security event (e.g., a malware detection event) to preceding computing objects, while applying one or more cause identification rules to identify a root cause of the security event. Once a root cause is identified, the event graph may be traversed forward from the root cause to identify other computing objects that are potentially compromised by the root cause.
