On-demand file transfers for mass P2P file sharing

A “Mass File Sharer” (MFS) provides a mass P2P file sharing protocol with optional on-demand file access across a P2P network. Unlike conventional P2P file sharing, the MFS simultaneously asynchronously shares large numbers of files, while providing optional on-demand (synchronous) access to shared files. The MFS uses a unique metadata structure in combination with an inter-peer file/folder version analysis and an inter-peer file/folder availability analysis to share complex directory structures that may include any number of folders, sub-folders, and files. Sharing may be asynchronous and/or synchronous. Specifically, file sharing is generally accomplished as an asynchronous distribution across the network. However, when a particular peer wants direct access particular files, an on-demand access mode is used to enable synchronous delivery of shared files. This combination of asynchronous and synchronous file distribution enables the MFS to support a number of applications, such as on-demand movie viewing, file/folder browsing, etc.

Mapping A Contact Center Service Request To A Modality

A universal contact center service access point is mapped to a service access point specific to a determined modality to establish a connection between a user device and a contact center operator device and associated with that modality. A request for a contact center engagement is obtained from a user device, in which the request includes a universal contact center service access point. Responsive to the request, the universal contact center service access point is mapped, based on a record associating multiple modalities with the universal contact center service access point, to a service access point specific to one of those multiple modalities determined based on information associated with the user device. The contact center engagement is then facilitated over a connection, established based on the mapping, between the user device and a contact center operator device associated with the service access point.

Content aware chunking for achieving an improved chunk size distribution

The subject disclosure is directed towards partitioning a file into chunks that satisfy a chunk size restriction, such as maximum and minimum chunk sizes, using a sliding window. For file positions within the chunk size restriction, a signature representative of a window fingerprint is compared with a target pattern, with a chunk boundary candidate identified if matched. Other signatures and patterns are then checked to determine a highest ranking signature (corresponding to a lowest numbered Rule) to associate with that chunk boundary candidate, or set an actual boundary if the highest ranked signature is matched. If the maximum chunk size is reached without matching the highest ranked signature, the chunking mechanism regresses to set the boundary based on the candidate with the next highest ranked signature (if no candidates, the boundary is set at the maximum). Also described is setting chunk boundaries based upon pattern detection (e.g., runs of zeros).

RATE-CONTROLLABLE PEER-TO-PEER DATA STREAM ROUTING

Difficulties associated with choosing advantageous network routes between server and clients are mitigated by a routing system that is devised to use many routing path sets, where respective sets comprise a number of routing paths covering all of the clients, including through other clients. A server may then apportion a data stream among all of the routing path sets. The server may also detect the performance of the computer network while sending the data stream between clients, and may adjust the apportionment of the routing path sets including the route. The clients may also be configured to operate as servers of other data streams, such as in a videoconferencing session, for example, and may be configured to send detected route performance information along with the portions of the various data streams.

USING INDEX PARTITIONING AND RECONCILIATION FOR DATA DEDUPLICATION

The subject disclosure is directed towards a data deduplication technology in which a hash index service's index is partitioned into subspace indexes, with less than the entire hash index service's index cached to save memory. The subspace index is accessed to determine whether a data chunk already exists or needs to be indexed and stored. The index may be divided into subspaces based on criteria associated with the data to index, such as file type, data type, time of last usage, and so on. Also described is subspace reconciliation, in which duplicate entries in subspaces are detected so as to remove entries and chunks from the deduplication system. Subspace reconciliation may be performed at off-peak time, when more system resources are available, and may be interrupted if resources are needed. Subspaces to reconcile may be based on similarity, including via similarity of signatures that each compactly represents the subspace's hashes.

Perceptual, scalable audio compression

The perceptual scalable audio coding/decoding technique lies in the use of a psychoacoustic mask to guide residue coding in enhancement layer coders. At the encoder, a psychoacoustic mask is calculated for the enhancement layer coders or is simply extracted from the coded base layer bitstream. One can also decode the coded base layer bitstream into the audio waveform, and calculate the psychoacoustic mask from the decoded base layer waveform. Furthermore, a predictive technology can be used to refine the psychoacoustic mask derived from the base layer bitstream to form a more accurate psychoacoustic mask of the enhancement layer. In addition, one can calculate the enhancement layer psychoacoustic mask from the original audio, and send the difference between the enhancement layer psychoacoustic mask and the base layer psychoacoustic mask as side information to the decoder. This psychoacoustic mask may then be used for the perceptual coding and decoding of the residue.

Metadata structures for mass P2P file sharing

A "Mass File Sharer" (MFS) provides a mass P2P file sharing protocol with optional on-demand file access across a P2P network. Unlike conventional P2P file sharing, the MFS simultaneously asynchronously shares large numbers of files, while providing optional on-demand (synchronous) access to shared files. The MFS uses a unique metadata structure in combination with an inter-peer file/folder version analysis and an inter-peer file/folder availability analysis to share complex directory structures that may include any number of folders, sub-folders, and files. Sharing may be asynchronous and/or synchronous. Specifically, file sharing is generally accomplished as an asynchronous distribution across the network.

Efficient one-to-many content distribution in a peer-to-peer computer network

A content distribution method and system for distributing content over a peer-to-peer network such that the full potential throughput of the network is achieved. The content distribution method divides the content to be distributed into many small blocks. Each of the content blocks then is assigned to a node, which can be a content-requesting node, a non-content-requesting node or a source node. Content is assigned based on a capacity of the node, where nodes having a larger capacity are assigned a greater number of content blocks and nodes having a smaller capacity are assigned a fewer content blocks. The capacity generally is defined as the upload bandwidth of the node. Redistribution queues are employed to control the throughput of the distribution. This bandwidth control strategy ensures that upload bandwidths of the peer and source nodes are fully utilized even with network anomalies such as packet losses and delivery jitters.

Optimized transport protocol for delay-sensitive data

Transmission delays are minimized when packets are transmitted from a source computer over a network to a destination computer. The source computer measures the network's available bandwidth, forms a sequence of output packets from a sequence of data packets, and transmits the output packets over the network to the destination computer, where the transmission rate is ramped up to the measured bandwidth. In conjunction with the transmission, the source computer monitors a transmission delay indicator which it computes using acknowledgement packets it receives from the destination computer. Whenever the indicator specifies that the transmission delay is increasing, the source computer reduces the transmission rate until the indicator specifies that the delay is unchanged. The source computer dynamically decides whether each output packet will be a forward error correction packet or a single data packet, where the decision is based on minimizing the expected transmission delays.

Hybrid Peer-to-Peer Streaming with Server Assistance

Implementation of hybrid peer-to-peer streaming with server assistance is described. In one implementation, a media source is selected from amongst a plurality of media sources for retrieval of streaming media content. The selection might be based, for example, on an amount of the streaming media content received at respective time units. In one scenario, if the amount received at a time unit is less than a target amount, the streaming media content is retrieved from at least one streaming media server. Conversely, if the amount received at a time unit is more than the target amount, the streaming media content is retrieved from at least one peer-to-peer network. In another embodiment, a playback buffer is monitored to determine an amount of streaming media content at the respective time units. The media source is then selected based on the amount of the streaming media content in the playback buffer.

Complex light source reflecting device

CMOS front end process compatible low stress light shield

An improved imaging device having a pixel arrangement featuring a multilayer light shield. The multilayer light shield includes stacked layers of light-shielding and light-transparent material. The light-transparent material, such as a dielectric, is selected to have a stress, such as a tensile stress, that offsets the stress, such as a compressive stress, of the light shielding material. Without the stress offset, the high compressive stress of the refractory metal could damage the integrity of the nearby silicon. The refractory metal is capable of withstanding the high temperatures associated with front end CMOS processing. The laminate structure allows the light shield to be placed close to the pixel surface. The light-transparent material has a thickness equal to about one-quarter wavelength of the light to be blocked, to act as an anti-reflective coating. An aperture in the light shield exposes the active region of the pixel's photoconversion device.
