  • Patent number: 11687587
    Abstract: A query fingerprint of a set of frames of video content captured at a client device may be generated. Multiple patches of the set of frames of video content may be selected and a value calculated for each of the selected multiple patches. The value for each patch may be indicated as a single bit along with an additional 1-bit value to indicate whether the patch value is weak. A database of known reference fingerprints may be queried using the generated query fingerprint. Matches between the query fingerprint and the reference fingerprints may be identified. Weak bits may be given reduced weight in identifying the match of fingerprints. Based on the matches, an identifier for the video content may be returned to the client device. The client device may use the received identifier to access the supplemental content.

  • Patent number: 11675838
    Abstract: An approach is provided for completing a pipeline graph. Using a deep learning based sequence model, an initial data pipeline having a sequence of nodes is generated. Mismatch(es) between data formats required by input and output in the sequence of nodes is identified. Virtual gap node(s) that correct the mismatch(es) are added to the initial data pipeline. For a given virtual gap node, tentative graph structures are determined using knowledge graphs and a crowd sourced validation system. Reuse forecast scores and performance scores for the tentative graph structures are calculated. Based on the reuse forecast scores and the performance scores, a final graph structure for implementing the given virtual gap node is determined.

  • Patent number: 10922132
    Abstract: Techniques for securely migrating servers from customer networks into service provider systems are described. A backup proxy can be deployed in a customer's network and associated with one or more servers in the customer's network and with a server migration service of a service provider system. A customer can identify a server in the customer's network to migrate and the server migration service coordinates the migration with the backup proxy. The backup proxy can be instructed to obtain replication data for the server, obtain an encryption key associated with the customer from a key management service (KMS), encrypt the replication data, and upload the encrypted replication data to the service provider system. The service provider system can obtain the same encryption key used to encrypt the replication data from the KMS and decrypt the uploaded encrypted replication data to generate migrated server resources at the service provider system.

  • Patent number: 10884587
    Abstract: Techniques for generation of user interfaces include accessing data indicative of a plurality of values and including a subset of the values in a user interface. The subset may be selected based on user input or the characteristics of the device for which the user interface is generated. Each user interface is associated with a device characteristic, such as the size or shape of a display area or the presence of an audio output device, and the characteristics of the user interface may be determined based in part on the device characteristics. When a request from a user device is received, correspondence between the device characteristics of the user device and the device characteristics associated with the user interfaces is used to determine which interface to provide to the user device. Changes to values in a first user interface are included in other user interfaces accessed using other devices.

  • Patent number: 10860635
    Abstract: In general, a specification of multiple contexts that are related according to a hierarchy is received. Relationships are determined among three or more metadata objects, and at least some of the metadata objects are grouped into one or more respective groups. Each of at least some of the groups is based on a selected one of the contexts and is represented by a node in a diagram. Relationships among the nodes are determined based on the relationships among the metadata objects in the groups represented by the nodes, and a visual representation is generated of the diagram including the nodes and the relationships among the nodes.

  • Patent number: 10860602
    Abstract: In an example, a method may include receiving input effective to select a visualization type of multiple different visualization types to apply to a visualization of data. The selected visualization type may be associated with a contract. Each of the different visualization types may be associated with a specific contract. Each contract may include a corresponding schema that specifies a set of data fields and one or more relationships between data fields in the set to generate and display a corresponding visualization having a corresponding visualization type. The method may also include mapping at least some data of a data source to the contract such that the contract is satisfied. The method may also include displaying the visualization of the at least some data of the data source based on the contract, the displayed visualization having the selected visualization type.

  • Patent number: 10810262
    Abstract: One or more client instances hosted by a platform may support access to a cloud-based application to select a dashboard, such as via a client device. Each dashboard includes one or more visualizations of analytic or summary information. When a user of the client device accesses the cloud-based application, a subset of dashboards are initially provided based on recent usage history of dashboards. Specifically, the cloud-based application determines if the user has access to each dashboard of the subset of dashboards and, in response to determining the user does have access to a dashboard, displays the dashboard within the subset of dashboards. The user may select a dashboard from the subset of dashboards, where the selected dashboard is displayed on the client device.

  • Patent number: 10579447
    Abstract: A method for synchronous ingestion of input content may include determining, from an ingestion request, applicable ingestion pipeline components and an order by which the ingestion pipeline components are to be applied to input content; applying the ingestion pipeline components to the input content in the order determined from the ingestion request; updating a metadata file as the input content is processed by the ingestion pipeline components; and returning processed content, the metadata file, or both to a client device. The method may further include determining whether the ingestion request specifies a computing facility such as an indexer or a database downstream from the ingestion pipeline. If so, a processing result may be communicated to the computing facility for further processing. A server system may implement synchronous ingestion, asynchronous ingestion, or both.

  • Patent number: 10474634
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates searching an online content management system for content items associated with a user. During operation, the system receives a call from a client application at a search interface in the online content management system, wherein the client application is operating on behalf of the user. In response to the call, the system performs a lookup in a per-user index within the online content management system, wherein the per-user index facilitates looking up information about content items associated with the user in the online content management system. The system then returns the information obtained during the lookup to the client application. The client application can then use the retrieved information to facilitate an interaction between the client application and the user.
