Patent number: 12131113Abstract: Embodiments seek to improve prefetch hinting using time-dependent, machine-generated hints. Some embodiments operate in context of client machines in communication hinting machines that can develop information about whether and how resources are used in network transactions over time by collecting “resource samples.” Each resource sample can identify rendering status information of a resource at a sample time. The time-based samples can be used to compute time-based probabilities for the resources, indicating, for example, the likelihood of a resource being used to render a web page at some subsequent time. Time-dependent hints can be generated as a function of the time-based probabilities, and the time-dependent hints can be used to improve prefetching by optimizing the hinting information with respect to a particular request time (e.g., the prefetching hints for rendering a web page can be generated in a manner that accounts for when the web page is being rendered).Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: VIASAT, INC.Inventors: Peter J.

Patent number: 12099327Abstract: A holographic calling system can capture and encode holographic data at a sender-side of a holographic calling pipeline and decode and present the holographic data as a 3D representation of a sender at a receiver-side of the holographic calling pipeline. The holographic calling pipeline can include stages to capture audio, color images, and depth images; densify the depth images to have a depth value for each pixel while generating parts masks and a body model; use the masks to segment the images into parts needed for hologram generation; convert depth images into a 3D mesh; paint the 3D mesh with color data; perform torso disocclusion; perform face reconstruction; and perform audio synchronization. In various implementations, different of these stages can be performed sender-side or receiver side. The holographic calling pipeline also includes sender-side compression, transmission over a communication channel, and receiver-side decompression and hologram output.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Albert Parra Pozo, Joseph Virskus, Ganesh Venkatesh, Kai Li, Shen-Chi Chen, Amit Kumar, Rakesh Ranjan, Brian Keith Cabral, Samuel Alan Johnson, Wei Ye, Michael Alexander Snower, Yash Patel

Patent number: 12101642Abstract: A system for updating a preferred nodes list for a wireless device in a wireless network includes a server in communication with a plurality of nodes each configured to deploy a radio air interface to provide wireless services to wireless devices. The server includes a processor configured to instruct, in response to a trigger, a first node to send a message to a wireless device connected to the first node. The message instructs the wireless device to contact the server for an updated preferred nodes list. The processor receives a request for the updated preferred nodes list from the wireless device and provides the updated preferred nodes list to the wireless device. The updated preferred nodes list enables the wireless device to change from connecting to the first node included in the preferred nodes list to connecting to a second node included in the updated preferred nodes list.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: Sprint Spectrum LPInventors: Amrit Kumar Chandra, Charles Manganiello, David Zhijun Sun, Jay R.

Patent number: 12095841Abstract: A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid).Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2023Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: BRIGHT DATA LTD.Inventors: Derry Shribman, Ofer Vilenski
