Patent number: 11321101Abstract: In an architecture of a virtualized computing system plugins are less tightly integrated with a core user interface of a management server. Rather than being installed and executed at the management server as local plugins, the plugins are served as remote plugins from a plugin server, and may be accessed by a web client through a reverse proxy at the management server. Plugin operations may be executed at the plugin server and/or invoked from a user device where the web client resides. Furthermore, a plugin sandbox and other isolation configurations are provided at the user device, so as to further control access capability and interaction of the plugins.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Tony Ganchev, Plamen Dimitrov, Aleksandar Marinov

The copies of the data stores may independently receive the data objects to be stored as part of independently replicating data stores to one or more copies of the data stores. An association can be created between objects in the different data store. If when the association is created it is determined that a referenced object is not yet stored in a copy of a data store, then both the association and the referenced object may be stored in the same data store so that the association and the referenced object are replicated together to a copy of the same data store.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Stephen Popick, Alazel Acheson, Jasmeet Chhabra, Luke Edward Kennedy, Meng Li

Patent number: 11095518Abstract: Example implementations relate to determining whether network invariants are violated by flow rules to be implemented by the data plane of a network. In an example, a verification module implemented on a device receives a flow rule transmitted from an SDN controller to a switch, the flow rule relating to an event. The module determines whether the flow rule matches any of a plurality of network invariants cached in the device. If determined that the flow rule matches one of the plurality of network invariants, the verification module determines whether the flow rule violates the matched network invariant. If determined that the flow rule does not match any of the plurality of network invariants, the verification module (1) reports the event associated with the flow rule to a policy management module, (2) receives a new network invariant related to the event from the policy management module, and (3) determines whether the flow rule violates the new network invariant.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Ying Zhang, Jeongkeun Lee, Puneet Sharma, Joon-Myung Kang

Systems and methods for attaching synchronized information between physical and virtual environments
Patent number: 11087551Abstract: To facilitate virtual training, employee on-boarding, knowledge transfer and remote assistance, embodiments provide a digital note viewable in a virtual environment which may be attached to a physical machine and viewable when a user is engaged with the system. When a user sees the machine through either an augmented reality device or a virtual reality device, the digital note is displayable and selectable. Selection of the digital note access information stored in association with the note and the object the note is attached to. The note may be modified in one instance, which synchronizes the note in any other instances. For example, modifying a digital note attached to a physical object in an AR environment causes a copy of the digital note to be modified in the same way in a digital twin of the object in a VR environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: EON REALITY, INC.Inventors: Jan Kjallstrom, Yazhou Huang -
Patent number: 11086582Abstract: Devices having touchscreen displays or other types of sensors may be placed adjacent to one another to form a larger display area for content. A relative position and alignment between these adjacent devices are determined using a touch gesture by a user. For example, a user may draw a line, circle, or other shape that provides input to the touch sensors of the devices. Touch data received from each device indicates the coordinates where contact was provided to the touch sensor. By matching the coordinates positioned near the borders of adjacent devices based on the time of their input, the relative position and alignment between the devices is determined. A corresponding portion of the content is provided to each device based on its relative position and alignment to form a consistent display area.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Steven Arturo Lizarazo Patino

Patent number: 11080297Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to identify a set of modifications based on a set of tree data structures including a sync tree, a remote tree, and a local tree. The sync tree represents a known synced state between a server state and a file system state, the remote tree represents the server state, and the local tree represents the file system state. The system is further configured to select a set of unblocked modifications from the set of modifications based on whether each modification has a dependency and execute, based on the set of unblocked modifications, a set of tasks configured to converge the server state and the file system state.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Isaac Goldberg, John Lai

Patent number: 11076182Abstract: A device, system, and method perform an automatic change over for transport streams. The method is performed at an output server. The method includes selecting a first transport stream. The method includes generating a first portion of an output based on the first transport stream. The method includes selecting a second transport stream. The method includes determining a frametime to synchronize first packets of the first transport stream to second packets of the second transport stream. The frametime os based on a start time of a content item included in the first transport stream and the second transport stream and a completed progression of the content item using the first transport stream. The method includes determining a location in the second transport stream based on the frametime. The method includes generating a second portion of the output based on the second transport stream starting at the location.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: VIACOM INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Jeff Hess, Jonathan Edlin Clegg, Scott Danahy, Gregg William Riedel

Patent number: 11070303Abstract: The forwarding of a management message received in a network device includes determining whether a previously received message sent by the same sender has looped back to the network device. The message is forwarded if the received message is not a loop back of a previously received message, and dropped otherwise.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Arista Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jeff Jing Yuen Chan, Avininderpal Singh Grewal, Petr Budnik

Patent number: 11050728Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a synchronization unit performing a process of time-of-day synchronization with a time-of-day synchronization server, and an authentication unit performing authentication by a first authentication method. In a case where the authentication by the first authentication method fails and the process of time-of-day synchronization is not performed within a set period of time, the authentication unit performs the authentication by a second authentication method. Thus, it is possible to improve convenience of the information processing apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Minoru Fujisawa
