  • Patent number: 11968197
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a delayed presentation of authentication challenge for users, such as in the context of a chat session. In various embodiments, a server system receives an indication of a request for service initiated by a user in a chat session within an application executed by a client device. The request for service involves an authentication of the user that is dependent on the authentication being successfully completed within a particular time period after the authentication is initiated. The server system delays the initiation of authentication for the request for service until a readiness condition is satisfied. The readiness condition includes the server system being available to process the request for service, as well as subsequently detecting engagement with the user relating to the request for service. In response to the readiness condition being satisfied, the server system initiates the authentication of the user.

  • Patent number: 11968254
    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and peer devices are disclosed that facilitate network censorship circumvention. A censored peer sends to a rendezvous peer censored peer location information. A connection with a volunteer peer is then established using volunteer peer location information received from the rendezvous peer for a matched volunteer peer. First network traffic is then sent to the volunteer peer in accordance with a first network protocol using a second network protocol associated with the connection. The first network traffic is directed to a network host restricted with respect to the censored peer and the second network protocol is a peer-to-peer network protocol. Second network traffic responsive to the first network traffic is then extracted from network message(s) to thereby obtain access to the restricted network host via the volunteer peer. The first network messages are in accordance with the second network protocol and received via the connection.

  • Patent number: 11966733
    Abstract: Embodiments allow a tenant to customize a configuration that is used in accessing an application over the cloud. At a provisioning time, a user accesses a tenant Application Program Interface (API) and creates a customized configuration including a payload that defines particular features to be available from the application. Such features can include but are not limited to available buttons, toolbar options, and pages. During a runtime subsequent to the provisioning, an input to the application (such as a URL) is received from the tenant. Logic is executed to determine whether to apply the custom configuration or another configuration (e.g., default or other predefined) from a list. Based upon the configuration, the application renders output to the user according to the particular features. Particular embodiments may recognize a Line of Business (LoB) parameter of a URL input to the application in order to provide a configurations customized by the tenant.

  • Patent number: 11968075
    Abstract: A network management system (NMS) is described that provides a granular troubleshooting workflow at an application session level using an application session-specific topology from a client device to a cloud-based application server. During an application session of a cloud-based application, a client device running the application exchanges data through one or more access point (AP) devices, one or more switches at a wired network edge, and one or more network nodes, e.g., switches, routers, and/or gateway devices, to reach a cloud-based application server. For a particular application session, the NMS generates a topology based on network data received from a subset of network devices, e.g., client devices, AP devices, switches, routers, and/or gateways, that were involved in the particular application session over a duration of the particular application session. In this way, the NMS enables backward-looking troubleshooting of the particular application session.

  • Patent number: 11956323
    Abstract: This application relates to embodiments for providing a content stream to a device from a content server based on a protocol that is established between the device and an account server. The account server can initiate a session with the device and provide the device with a list of channels available for a user account associated with the device. When a channel is selected at the device, conditional access information can be provided from the account server to the device, which can thereafter relay the conditional access information to the content server. The content server can use the conditional access information to verify that the device has the appropriate permission to receive streaming content. In this way, because the conditional access information originates at the account server, permission to access streaming content can be managed by correspondence between the account server and the device, rather than the content server.

  • Patent number: 11954421
    Abstract: The subject technology receives, from a first client device, a set of requests for recording user activity detected on a mobile application executing on the first client device. The subject technology determines that a first request from the set of requests includes a change in position for an element of a screen of the mobile application. The subject technology determines a previous timestamp of a set of previous properties including a previous change in position for the element of the screen. The subject technology determines a transition time between a current timestamp and the previous timestamp. The subject technology generates, using a style sheet language, a linear transition based at least in part on the transition time. The subject technology adds the linear transition to a style of a markup language element corresponding to the element.

  • Patent number: 11954606
    Abstract: Automated event monitoring is performed utilizing a Knowledge Graph (KG) constructed by grouping and consolidation of a variety of log Entry Types. A log entry is received by a knowledge graph parser (Kg parser). That parser finds contiguous sub-strings in a log entry that have a parameterized basic-format. The parser figures out which basic-formats are present, where, and with which parameters. Given a sub-string, its basic-format and its parameters, the parser can correctly parse the sub-string to components (e.g., keys and values if a key-value format; fields if a structured format). A result of the parsing is an entity type tree structure. Next, a grouping and consolidation capability functions to modify the KG to incorporate an incoming new entry type structure. The KG may be consumed by a user (e.g., visualization; querying), and may provide an artifact to an event monitoring system to automatically trigger certain actions (e.g., alerts).
