Filed:

May 16, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/155709

Inventors:

- Beaverton OR, US
Brett Robichaud - Hillsboro OR, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/07
G06T 1/00
G06K 9/00
H04L 12/26
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to cloud-based mobile discovery networks. For example, a mobile discovery network may include a network responsive to successful watermark detection or fingerprint extraction. One claim recites a cloud-based computing resolver cell in a mobile discovery network, the mobile discovery network having a cloud-based traffic router for forwarding requests from remote devices. The resolver cell includes: memory for storing response information; one or more processors programmed for: combine results from a third party inquiry, a traffic router health check, and an internal component or processing check within a certain time period determine whether to enter into a stabilization mode; entering the stabilization mode when a determination indicates stabilization is warranted; verifying, for a predetermined period, the status of the resolver cell before exiting the stabilization mode. Of course other claims and combinations are provided as well.

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to cloud-based mobile discovery networks. For example, a mobile discovery network may include a network responsive to successful watermark detection or fingerprint extraction. One claim recites a cloud-based computing resolver cell in a mobile discovery network, the mobile discovery network comprising a cloud-based traffic router for forwarding requests from remote devices. The resolver cell comprises: memory for storing response information; one or more processors programmed for: monitoring responses to a plurality of status checks issued by the traffic router to said resolver cell, and starting with a first response that includes an error, the monitoring monitors the next n responses from the resolver cell to the traffic router, where n is an integer more than 3, to determine whether: i) a predetermined percentage of the monitored responses included errors; ii) any response included an error within a set time period during said monitoring, and iii) the last response to the traffic router include an error; if any of items i-iii are true, entering a stabilization mode for a predetermined time; and issuing an unavailable status message to the traffic router during the predetermined time. Of course other claims and combinations are provided as well.
