International Classification:

H04L 29/08
H04L 12/927

Abstract:

A computer system for optimizing bandwidth usage within a cloud storage system identifies distinct requests to access a particular digital file. When the number of requests exceeds a threshold, the computer system queries a remote directory server for the particular digital file. The query system then receives, from the remote directory server, addresses to data blocks stored within multiple remote storage nodes. The system requests at least a portion of the addressed data blocks. Upon receiving the blocks, the system decodes the particular digital file from the portion of the addressed data blocks. The computer system then stores the decoded digital file within local memory and communicates the local-area network address to the remote directory server.

International Classification:

G06F 11/10
G06F 3/06
H03M 13/15

Abstract:

A computer system for optimizing bandwidth usage within a cloud storage system receives a request, through an application program interface (API), to store a digital file. The computer system then encodes the digital file into a set of multiple distinct blocks of data. The system also transmits the set of multiple distinct blocks of data to multiple remote storage nodes. The multiple distinct blocks of data are divided among at least a portion of the remote storage nodes. The system generates a log that comprises identification information associated with the digital file and an address for each respective block of data within each respective remote storage node. The system then transmits the log to a remote directory server. The directory server comprises multiple different logs that map multiple different digital files to the remote storage nodes.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
H04L 12/26
H04L 29/12

Abstract:

A computer system for optimizing bandwidth usage by directly linking two remote devices requests, from a local network gateway, a network port assignment for a services management component within a local network. The system also receives, at the services management component, a network connection directed towards the assigned network port. The network connection is received at the assigned network port regardless of the associated network protocol. The system then identifies a hostname within a data packet received through the network connection. The system also identifies, within a services registry, one or more services registered to receive network connections associated with the identified network protocol. In addition, the system identifies from the one or more services a particular service that is associated with the hostname. The system then forwards the network connection to the particular service.

International Classification:

G08B 13/196
G06F 17/30
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Apparatuses, techniques, and methods for a security and/or automation system are described. In some cases, methods may include receiving, from a first device at a first location, a request to access data associated with a time period from a second device at a second location, the data comprising at least one of audio data, visual data, or a combination thereof, receiving, from the first device, a category associated with the request, identifying a first set of data associated with the time period, the identified first set of data based at least in part on the request and the category, and automatically transmitting the first set of data to the first device based at least in part on the category.

Abstract:

Techniques are described for enhanced interactions for a security automation system using a doorbell camera. One method includes detecting, by the doorbell camera, that a person is located within a distance threshold to an entry of a structure based on received sensor data; identifying, by the doorbell camera, a suggested security action for the security and automation system to perform based on the detecting; transmitting the suggested action to the security and automation system based on the identifying; and broadcasting, via the doorbell camera, in response to the transmitting a message to the person located within the distance threshold.
