Patent number: 11562714Abstract: An augmented reality device sends data representative of a field of view to a remote system. The field of view is comprises two portions, a first portion displayed to a user of the augmented reality device, and a second portion encompassing an area outside of the first portion. The remote system generates an element of an augmented reality display based on the second portion, and sends the element to the augmented reality device. When movement of the device causes the field of view to shift, the device includes the generated element in the augmented reality display.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Stephen Daniel Vilke

Patent number: 11368400Abstract: Application data may be transmitted while oscillating a transmission parameter. A metric associated with a complementary network property is analyzed to identify a transition point between a stochastic error state and a deterministic error state of the complementary network property. Additional network properties or states may be inferred from the transition point, and the transmission of the application data may be optimized based on the inferred additional properties or states.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Daniel Vilke, James Morgan Selvidge, Rudy Willis, Paul Hinks

Patent number: 11356326Abstract: Data is transmitted in accordance with a parameter. For a metric associated with transmission of the data, a response to a stochastic error state of the metric includes making a first adjustment to the parameter in a first direction. A response to a deterministic error state of the metric includes making a second adjustment to the parameter in a second direction, where the second direction is in opposition to the first direction. A transition point between the two states is identified, and a response to the identification is made.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Daniel Vilke, James Morgan Selvidge, Rudy Willis, Paul Hinks

Patent number: 11336954Abstract: Method and system for determining frame rate of multimedia content streaming on a client device are presented herein. The method includes selecting a region within a screen of a computing display device displaying a video stream. One or more image frames of the video stream in the region are recorded. Changes in the color composition between the recorded image frames are detected. Based on the changes in the color composition, the frame rate of the video stream is determined.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Daniel Vilke, David Scheiderman

Patent number: 11252097Abstract: Techniques for oscillatory complementary network property calibration of a network connection can be implemented by measuring a first network property (e.g., latency or bandwidth output) as a function of bandwidth input and performing statistical analysis to determine a correlation. If a non-zero correlation coefficient is detected, a second network property complementary to the first network property can be measured to determine a first value of the second network property. Likewise, the second network property can be measured as a function of bandwidth input to determine a second correlation which, if positive, may indicate how to determine a second value of the first network property. The first value and the second value can be utilized to determine a third value of a third network property (e.g., network latency and network capacity utilized to determine bandwidth-delay product).Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: James Morgan Selvidge, Stephen Daniel Vilke, Paul Hinks, Rudy Willis

Patent number: 11245772Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic representation of a remote computing environment which can be implemented in the context of a virtual desktop infrastructure. A server hosting a computing environment may communicate system state to a remote client via a network. A representation of the computing environment may be generated by obtaining graphical data of a virtual computing environment, sub sampling the graphical data to determine a plurality of regions, determining a manner to prioritize the plurality of regions, and causing, based on the prioritization, an approximate representation of the graphical data to be transmitted to a second system.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Daniel Vilke, James Morgan Selvidge, Rudy Willis, Paul Hinks

Patent number: 11016792Abstract: A system for providing access to remotely hosted applications obtains information indicative of the resolution of a client desktop and an arrangement of windows on the client desktop. A host of the applications is made to conform its desktop resolution and arrangement of windows to that of the client desktop, such that the occluded window portions correspond between the client and host. Visible content of the hosted application windows is tracked and streamed to the client.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Daniel Vilke, Jose Miguel Resendiz Castillo, Austin Garbelman, Jeff David Rosenfeld

Patent number: 10971161Abstract: Systems and methods for loss protection of audio streams that may obtain an audio source such as from a microphone device, determine a sampling rate for encoding the audio source, and sampling the audio source to identify a plurality of samples (e.g., according to the sampling rate). A first audio output stream may be generated by encoding the plurality of samples. A second audio output stream may be generated by compressing each sample of the plurality of samples to collectively generate a second audio output stream. The first and second audio output streams may be transmitted (e.g., over a network subject to loss) to a recipient computer system that is able to utilize portions of the second audio output stream in place of lost portions first audio output stream.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Daniel Vilke, David Scheiderman
