A light source is provided with a digitally addressable lampshade that includes a plurality of regions of controllable opacity. Systems and methods are described for controlling the digital lampshade. In an exemplary embodiment, an addressable lampshade effects a time-varying pattern of changes to the opacity of the regions to generate a lamp identification pattern. A lamp is identified from the patterns by a camera-equipped mobile device. The mobile device then causes the identified lamp to generate a position-determining pattern of light. The mobile device determines its own position relative to the lamp based on the pattern of light received by the camera. The mobile device then instructs the digital lampshade, according to user input, to allow illumination or to provide shade at the determined position of the mobile device.

Dynamic caching policies and/or dynamic purging policies are provided for modifying the entry and eviction of content to the cache (e.g., storage and/or memory) of a caching server based on the current and past cache performance and/or demand. The caching server may modify or replace a configured policy when cache performance is below one or more thresholds. Modifying the caching policy may change caching behavior of the caching server by changing the conditions that control the content that is entered into cache or the content that is deferred and not entered into cache after a request. This may include assigning different probabilities for entering the same content into cache based on different caching policies. Modifying the purging policy may change eviction behavior of the caching server by changing the conditions that control the cached content that is selected and removed from cache.

A network node is configured to initiate a first authentication and key establishment procedure with a machine to machine (M2M) device. The network node is configured to determine a key agreement between the network node and the M2M device using the first authentication and key establishment procedure. The network node is configured to initiate a second authentication and key establishment procedure with an M2M server.

Provided is a controller for dynamically balancing load between different servers using different thresholds that are continually modified for each of the servers. The controller may generate a baseline load measure based on load measures received from the different servers, and may configure a first threshold for a first server and a second threshold for a second server based on the load measure at the first server deviating from the baseline load measure by a first amount that is greater than a second amount by which the load measure at the second server deviates from the baseline load measure. The controller may allocate an additional server to distribute first content with the first server in response to first content load at the first server satisfying the first threshold and the same load or a greater load of second content at the second server not satisfying the second threshold.
A network firewall detects and protects against persistent low volume attacks based on a sequence of network data having a pattern that matches by some threshold or percentage a sequence of network data from an earlier iteration of the same persistent low volume attack. The attack patterns are derived from tokenizing one or more elements from a captured sequence of network data that is representative of an attack iteration. Counts for different resulting tokens may be stored in a feature vector that represents the attack pattern. If subsequent sequences of network data have a sufficient number of similar token, a pattern match can be identified and the firewall can take protective action including blacklisting the sending clients, blocking the traffic, redirecting the traffic, sending a problem to verify the sender is an actual user, or other actions.
A Multi-Threaded Indexed (“MTI”) file system may use a first set of threads, processes, or executable instances to index desired file attributes in a database while simultaneously but independently executing file operations with a second set of threads, processes, or executable instances. In response to receiving a file operation, the second set of threads, processes, or executable instance may query the database to directly identify files that are indirectly implicated by the file operation with a wildcard, regular expression, and/or other expression that indirectly identifies the files based on different file attributes, paths, name expressions, or combinations thereof. The second set of threads, processes, or executable instances are therefore able to identify the files implicated by the file operation based solely on the indexed file attributes already entered in the database without the need to load and scan the metadata of files in directories targeted by the file operation.

Dynamic and selective compression for content caching is provided for improving content delivery over a digital network. The dynamic and selective compression increased server cache size for higher cache-hit ratios that offset delays associated with compressing and decompressing content. The dynamic compression involves switching between an available set of compression tools in order to compress different files with the compression tool that is optimal for that file. The selective compression involves selectively compressing the content or files with the optimal compression tool when at least a threshold amount of space savings is obtained in an acceptable amount of time. Thus, the caching server caches compressed copies of a first set of files compressed with a first compression tool, compressed copies of a second set of files compressed with a different second compression tool, and an uncompressed third set of files.

The embodiments provide systems and methods for efficiently and accurately differentiating requests directed to uncacheable content from requests directed to cacheable content based on identifiers from the requests. The differentiation occurs without analysis or retrieval of the content being requested. Some embodiments hash identifiers of prior requests that resulted in uncacheable content being served in order to set indices within a bloom filter. The bloom filter then tracks prior uncacheable requests without storing each of the identifiers so that subsequent requests for uncacheable requests can be easily identified based on a hash of the request identifier and set indices of the bloom filter. Some embodiments produce a predictive model identifying uncacheable content requests by tracking various characteristics found in identifiers of prior requests that resulted in uncacheable content being served. Subsequent requests with identifiers having similar characteristics to those of the predictive model can then be differentiated.
A two-tier Anycast addressing hierarchy enables deterministic traffic management in an Anycast system. Different locations of the Anycast system advertise a common Anycast cover route comprising a first-tier Anycast address with a first address prefix, and different specific routes comprising a set of second-tier Anycast addresses with a second address prefix, wherein each address of the set of second-tier Anycast addresses falls within the already advertised Anycast cover route, and wherein the second prefix is larger than the first prefix. Domain Name System (DNS) operation can resolve queries to the cover route when normal Anycast operation is desired or can be modified to resolve a subset of queries to a particular second-tier address in order to shift a deterministic amount of traffic based on the resolved subset of queries to a deterministically selected Anycast system location based on the location from which the particular second-tier address is advertised.

Systems and methods are described for determining positions of indoor localization beacons without requiring a physical site survey. In a coarse positioning method, a mobile node receives beacon signals that identify rooms (such as stores in a shopping mall) in which the beacons are located. The mobile node obtains floor plan information relating to the building and estimates beacon locations based on the floor plan and beacon signal strength. The estimated beacon locations may be arranged in a predetermined geometric pattern based on the number of beacons in a room. In a fine positioning method, a mobile node recognizes its proximity to a beacon and responsively measures the distance to other beacons. Estimated beacon positions may be used to estimate the location of the mobile node using trilateration or other techniques.

Disclosed is a dynamically adaptable stream segment prefetcher for prefetching stream segments from different media streams with different segment name formats and with different positioning of the segment name iterator within the differing segment name formats. In response to receiving a client issued request for a particular segment of a particular media stream, the prefetcher identifies the segment name format and iterator location using a regular expression matching to the client issued request. The prefetcher then generates prefetch requests based on the segment name format and incrementing a current value for the iterator in the segment name of the client issued request.

The embodiments provide peer cache filling. The peer cache filling allocates a set of caching servers to distribute content in response to user requests with a limited first subset of the set of servers having access to retrieve the content from an origin and with a larger second subset of the set of servers retrieving the content from the first subset of servers without accessing the origin. The peer cache filling dynamically escalates and deescalates the allocation of the caching servers to the first and second subsets as demand for the content rises and falls. Peer cache filling is implemented by modifying request headers to identify designated hot content, provide a request identifier hash result for identifying the ordering of servers, and provide a value for designating which servers in the ordering as primary server with access to the origin.
The embodiments provide request multiplexing whereby a server receiving a first request for content clones and issues the cloned request to an origin to initiate retrieval of the content. The first request and subsequent requests for the same content are placed in a queue. The server empties a receive buffer that is populated with packets of the requested content as the packets arrive from the origin by writing the packets directly to local storage without directly distributing packets from the receive buffer to any user. The rate at which the server empties the receive buffer is therefore independent of the rate at which any user receives the packets. A first set of packets written to local storage can then be simultaneously distributed to one or more queued requests as the server continues emptying the receive buffer and writing a second set of packets to local storage.

Some embodiments set forth probability based caching, whereby a probability value determines in part whether content identified by an incoming request should be cached or not. Some embodiments further set forth probability based eviction, whereby a probability value determines in part whether cached content should be evicted from the cache. Selection of the content for possible eviction can be based on recency and/or frequency of the content being requested. The probability values can be configured manually or automatically. Automatic configuration involves using a function to compute the probability values. In such scenarios, the probability values can be computed as a function of any of fairness, cost, content size, and content type as some examples.

System and method for optimizing autonomous vehicle capabilities in route planning
Systems and methods described herein determine an optimal lane trajectory and route for an autonomous vehicle under changing road conditions and forecast autonomous car performance along a route. A road's profile is analyzed to determine a safe lateral lane position. In ice or snow, a vehicle may follow ruts made by previous vehicles, even if following such ruts does not place a vehicle in a lane's center. In warmer weather, a vehicle may drive outside the ruts to avoid risks of aquaplaning. Dynamic road conditions and AV support along a route are used to maximize AV use and to forecast AV performance. A vehicle control system calculates sensor limitations and uses these sensor limitations when calculating which route to select.

Disclosed are systems and methods for performing consistent request distribution across a set of servers based on a request Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and one or more cache keys, wherein some but not all cache keys modify the content requested by the URL. The cache keys include query string parameters and header parameters. A request director parses a received request, excludes irrelevant cache keys, reorders relevant cache keys, and distributes the request to a server from the set of servers tasked with serving content differentiated from the request URL by the relevant cache keys. The exclusion and reordering preserves the consistent distribution of requests directed to the same URL but different content as a result of different cache key irrespective of the placement of the relevant cache keys and inclusion of irrelevant cache keys in the request.
Multiple hit load balancing provides a quasi-persistent request distribution for encrypted requests passing over secure connections as well as for multiple requests passing over the same connection. The multiple hit load balancing involves tracking object demand at each server of a set of servers. The multiple hit load balancing further involves dynamically scaling the servers that cache and directly serve frequently requested objects based on the demand that is tracked by each of the servers. For infrequently requested objects, the servers perform a peer retrieval of the objects so to limit the number of the same object being redundantly cached by multiple servers of the set of servers.
A method of accessing services affiliated with a service provider is disclosed. An issuer performs a bootstrap procedure with the at least one discovered service provider. The issuer performs a discovery procedure to determine available service capability layers (SCLs) supported by the at least one discovered service provider. The issuer transmits a domain name system-based service discovery (DNS-SD) query from the issuer to a DNS-SD M2M service discovery function (MSDF) server. The DNS-SD MSDF server is provisioned with SCL discovery records. The DNS-SD MSDF server is registered with a public DNS registrar entity. The SCL discovery records include, for each SCL, a type of M2M service capabilities supported by each SCL and a class of M2M services supported by each SCL. The issuer receives SCL discovery records from the DNS-SD MSDF server in response to the DNS-SD query.

A light source is provided with a digitally addressable lampshade that includes a plurality of regions of controllable opacity. Systems and methods are described for controlling the digital lampshade. In an exemplary embodiment, an addressable lampshade effects a time-varying pattern of changes to the opacity of the regions to generate a lamp identification pattern. A lamp is identified from the patterns by a camera-equipped mobile device. The mobile device then causes the identified lamp to generate a position-determining pattern of light. The mobile device determines its own position relative to the lamp based on the pattern of light received by the camera. The mobile device then instructs the digital lampshade, according to user input, to allow illumination or to provide shade at the determined position of the mobile device.

This allows the vehicle driver or vehicle illumination system to be focused on the obstructed area.
Dynamic and selective compression for content caching is provided for improving content delivery over a digital network. The dynamic and selective compression increased server cache size for higher cache-hit ratios that offset delays associated with compressing and decompressing content. The dynamic compression involves switching between an available set of compression tools in order to compress different files with the compression tool that is optimal for that file. The selective compression involves selectively compressing the content or files with the optimal compression tool when at least a threshold amount of space savings is obtained in an acceptable amount of time. Thus, the caching server caches compressed copies of a first set of files compressed with a first compression tool, compressed copies of a second set of files compressed with a different second compression tool, and an uncompressed third set of files.

Deterministic traffic management in an anycast network
A two-tier Anycast addressing hierarchy enables deterministic traffic management in an Anycast system. Different locations of the Anycast system advertise a common Anycast cover route comprising a first-tier Anycast address with a first address prefix, and different specific routes comprising a set of second-tier Anycast addresses with a second address prefix, wherein each address of the set of second-tier Anycast addresses falls within the already advertised Anycast cover route, and wherein the second prefix is larger than the first prefix. Domain Name System (DNS) operation can resolve queries to the cover route when normal Anycast operation is desired or can be modified to resolve a subset of queries to a particular second-tier address in order to shift a deterministic amount of traffic based on the resolved subset of queries to a deterministically selected Anycast system location based on the location from which the particular second-tier address is advertised.
An adaptive stream segment prefetcher changes the number of segments it prefetches following a client requested segment of the same stream based on conditions associated with that stream at prefetch time. The adaptive prefetcher increases or decreases the number of segments to prefetch for a particular stream based on the number of active or concurrent clients requesting that particular stream, based on the playback duration of the particular stream by one or more clients, or some combination of both. The adaptive prefetcher continuously monitors the conditions associated with the stream such that number of segments prefetched at a first time are greater or less than the number of segments prefetched at a later second time.

Partitioned serialized caching and delivery of large files
Some embodiments provide partitioned serialized caching and delivery of large sized content and files. Some embodiments partition requests for large sized content into segment requests with each segment request identifying a different byte range of the requested content. Each segment request is hashed to identify a particular server from a set of servers tasked with caching and delivering a different segment of the requested content. In this manner, no single server caches or delivers the entirety of large sized content. The segment requests are distributed serially across the set of servers so that the segments are passed in order, wherein the serial distribution involves handing-off the requesting user's connection serially to each server of the set of server in the order with which the set of servers deliver the content segments.
A network device receives, from a customer, a customer subscription to a media transformation service; receives, from the customer as a first component of the subscription, data associated with customer media; and receives, from the customer as a second component of the subscription, one or more customer-selected parameters that specify media transformations to be performed upon the customer media. The network device receives, from a client browser, a request for the customer media, and transforms, responsive to receipt of the request from the client browser, the customer media based on the one or more customer-selected parameters to produce a transformed version of the customer media. The network device sends the transformed version of the customer media, via a content delivery network, to the client browser.

The M2M node determines based on at least a first attribute identifying an expiration time after which the communication management function does not facilitate communication, that the communication management function is available to process the first message. The M2M node determines based on at least a second attribute defining an access control list identifying applications in the first service layer for which the communication management function may provide processing, that the communication management function is available to process the first message from the first application.
Systems and methods are described to monitor and record user context and engagement with music. In an exemplary method, a user device receives an audio input of a user's audio environment, for example through a microphone. From the audio input, a song playing in the user's audio environment is identified by a user device. This may be done by consulting a database of audio features. The user device determines the user context and/or a user's level of engagement with the song. The context may include the time and location at which the song was playing. The level of engagement may be determined by monitoring whether, for example, the user danced or otherwise moved to the song, whether the user sang along to the song, and/or whether the user turned up the volume of the song.

Some embodiments move the task of selecting between different transit provider paths from the network level to the application level. Some embodiments perform network level configurations involving a destination network router advertising over a first transit provider path, a unique first address identifying a destination network server as reachable via the first path and advertising over a second transit provider path, a unique second address identifying the destination network server as reachable via the second path. Some embodiments further perform application level configurations involving a source network server passing a first packet to the destination network server over the first path by addressing the first packet to the first address and passing a second packet to the destination network server over the second path by addressing the second packet to the second address. The path selection may be based on policies accounting for congestion, performance, and other metrics.
Some embodiments modify caching server operation to evict cached content based on a deterministic and multifactor modeling of the cached content. The modeling produces eviction scores for the cached items. The eviction scores are derived from two or more factors of age, size, cost, and content type. The eviction scores determine what content is to be evicted based on the two or more factors included in the eviction score derivation. The eviction scores modify caching server eviction operation for specific traffic or content patterns. The eviction scores further modify caching server eviction operation for granular control over an item's lifetime on cache.
