  • Patent number: 12236514
    Abstract: A method for efficient dynamic video rendering is described for certain implementations. The method may include identifying a file for rendering a video comprising one or more static layers and one or more dynamic layers, detecting, based on analyzing one or more fields of the file for rendering a video, the one or more static layers and the one or more dynamic layers, wherein each dynamic layer comprises a comment that indicates a variable component, rendering the one or more static layers of the file, receiving, from a user device, a request for the video that includes user information, determining, based on the user information, variable definitions designated to be inserted into a dynamic layer, rendering the one or more dynamic layers using the variable definitions, and generating a composite video for playback from the rendered one or more static layers and the rendered one or more dynamic layers.

  • Patent number: 11989418
    Abstract: A method for upgrading a SSD firmware compatible with an RAID and a non-RAID including: packing two firmware versions including an RAID firmware and a non-RAID firmware together, when the two firmware versions need to be released; adding a configuration information with a fixed length of bytes to a firmware header of a resulting packed firmware, in which the configuration information includes: index values, offsets, and file sizes of the RAID firmware and the non-RAID firmware; determining, according to an internal information of an SSD, whether a matching firmware version thereof is the RAID firmware or the non-RAID firmware; and comparing the internal information of the SSD with the configuration information of the firmware header, selecting a matching index value, and reading a corresponding firmware according to the offset and the file size.
