  • Patent number: 11741120
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for providing a remote data gateway that supports peer routing for use with an analytics environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a data analytics remote data gateway server connects to on-premise data clients, via remote data gateway agents. If a remote data gateway server cannot reach a particular data client at its remote data gateway agent, then it can determine which other clients it can get requests from. To address this, the system can use a process of inverse proxy peer-to-peer routing—if a client has a request to be processed, but the server has not yet called into that client, then the client can hand off the request to a peer remote data gateway server, and the server can retrieve/process that request from that server operating as a proxy.

  • Patent number: 11729262
    Abstract: Solutions for enabling analytics for a virtualized application leverage reproducibility of information as a substitute for persisting information. Disclosed solutions include: collecting, by a virtualized application, first analytics data on a user equipment (UE); performing, by the virtualized application, a one-way function (e.g., a hash function) on persistent information (e.g., an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) number) on the UE to generate a unique UE identification (ID); transmitting the first analytics data and the UE ID to a remote node across a network; collecting, by the virtualized application, second analytics data on the UE; and transmitting the second analytics data and the UE ID to the remote node across the network. Because the UE ID is deterministic, it may be generated repeatedly, as needed, (producing the same value each time) to compensate for the inability of the virtualized application to persist the UE ID on the UE.

  • Patent number: 11722572
    Abstract: A system allowing user/system interaction sessions on voice-enabled computing devices (VECDs) to be shifted from a voice-based interface to a non-voice-based (such as a text/web-based) interface. Accordingly, easy and convenient data input, receipt and recognition is provided in a manner that is not likely to frustrate users, that accommodates a broad range of data needs, and/or that avoids confidentiality issues associated with the use of voice input and data security issues associated with the storage of medical/health or other sensitive data. The system recognizes a platform-shifting command via a voice-based interface, gathers any required information (such as a telephone number or e-mail address) for continuing the communications session on another platform, and then sends a text/email/other message including a URL/hyperlink usable to initiate a communications session on a different communications platform and continue a voice-based interaction session on a non-voice-based communications platform.

  • Patent number: 11716276
    Abstract: A network device may receive topology data identifying a spine and leaf topology of network devices, and may set link metrics to a common value to generate modified topology data. The network device may remove data identifying connections from leaf network devices to any devices outside the topology from the modified topology data to generate further modified topology data, and may process the further modified topology data, with a model, to determine path data identifying paths to destinations. The network device may determine particular path data identifying shorter paths and longer paths to corresponding destinations, and may determine hop counts associated with the paths. The network device may determine whether the hop counts are all odd values, all even values, or odd and even values, and may perform actions based on whether the hop counts are all odd values, all even values, or odd and even values.

  • Patent number: 11716256
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to intent execution methods and apparatus. In one example method, an element management system (EMS) receives a first intent from a network management system (NMS). The first intent indicates the EMS to execute a first command on a first network element and execute a second command on a second network element, a second intent in an active state is maintained in the EMS, the second intent indicates the EMS to execute a third command on the first network element, and the first command and the third command are mutually exclusive. The EMS receives a first parameter and conflict policy information. The EMS determines whether to execute the second command on the second network element, and executes the first command or the third command on the first network element based on the conflict policy information.

  • Patent number: 11711218
    Abstract: A shard distribution apparatus and method are disclosed. The shard distribution apparatus can include a trust calculation unit configured to obtain a trust value for each of a multiple number of nodes in a blockchain network by receiving a consensus result from each of the multiple nodes, where the consensus result may be obtained by aggregating the result of verifying the validity of a block by each of the multiple nodes and the results of verifying the validity of the block received from other nodes; and a shard distribution unit configured to distribute the multiple nodes to a multiple number of shards by calculating a shard trust value, which is represented by a sum of trust values of nodes distributed to each of the multiple shards, and distributing the multiple nodes such that deviations of the calculated shard trust values are the smallest.

  • Patent number: 11709724
    Abstract: Cloud computing techniques utilizing distributed application execution are disclosed herein. One example technique includes receiving a command to launch an application, and in response, determining an execution location corresponding to a type of data consumed by individual components of the application. Upon determining that one of the components is to be executed in a local computing facility, the example technique includes transmitting, from a public computing facility to the local computing facility, a request to execute the one of the components in the local computing facility instead of the public computing facility. Upon being authorized by the local computing facility, data is requested and received from the one of the components executed at the local computing facility without having direct access from the public computing facility to a data source at the local computing facility.

  • Patent number: 11709600
    Abstract: A system that implements a scalable data storage service may maintain tables in a data store on behalf of storage service clients. The service may maintain table data in multiple replicas of partitions that are stored on respective computing nodes in the system. In response to detecting an anomaly in the system, detecting a change in data volume on a partition or service request traffic directed to a partition, or receiving a service request from a client to split a partition, the data storage service may create additional copies of a partition replica using a physical copy mechanism. The data storage service may issue a split command defined in an API for the data store to divide the original and additional replicas into multiple replica groups, and to configure each replica group to maintain a respective portion of the table data that was stored in the partition before the split.
