Patent number: 11463740Abstract: A Rules-Based Just-In-Time (RBJIT) content streaming engine collects information such as behavior, usage, movement, and preferences about a user, any groups that the user is associated with, and the set of all users in general. Based on this information, the RBJIT may preferentially select multimedia content and content suggestions for user display, increasing the likelihood that the surfaced content will be of interest to a user. In this way, browsing time for a user on a device with a limited form factor is reduced and network bandwidth is conserved by not surfacing content that the user ultimately will not view.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Kanakrai Chauhan, Ankit Awasthi

Patent number: 11411839Abstract: Described embodiments provide for associating a user experience score with a location of a client. A device may identify a session between the client and an application service established via a first network. The device may receive, via the application service, a network address of the client associated with a second network. The device may determine a location of the client accessing the application service via the first network based at least on the network address associated with the second network. The device may receive, from an instrumentation service, performance factors for the client. Each of the performance factors may be associated with access to the application service by the client. The device may generate a user experience score for the client based at least on the performance factors. The device may provide an instruction based at least on an association between the user experience score and the location.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Vikramjeet Singh Sandhu, Vivek Koni Raghuveer, Guna Sekhar Pera, Neha Joshi, Mukesh Garg
