The subject technology selects the respective media overlay in response to the information indicating that the respective media overlay is configured to be applied as an image processing operation during post-processing of image data. The subject technology, based at least in part on a category indicator associated with the respective media overlay, populates a group of media overlays with at least the respective media overlay. The subject technology sends, to a client electronic device, second metadata including at least information related to the group of media overlays. | 2021-07-01 |
20210203629 | Methods and devices for facilitating and monetizing merges of targets with stalkers - Methods and devices facilitate and monetize merges of stalkers and targets. Responsive to an invitation from an entity of interest (target), a request is received for a real-time location of the entity of interest (target) via a user interface of at least one mobile communication device associated with a user (stalker). The request may be received responsive to an invite from the entity of interest. Responsive to the request for the location, the real-time location of the entity of interest is provided via the user interface. When the mobile communication device associated with the stalker comes within a predetermined proximity of the target, a recording of a meeting between the stalker and the target is initiated. The target is provided with a reward responsive to a first recorded meeting between a stalker and the target. | 2021-07-01 |
20210203630 | CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEM USING EMBEDDED REQUESTOR INFORMATION - A DNS resolution request for a hostname of a CDN is received. An edge server of the CDN may be identified, which may be associated with a subnet. The subnet is used to generate a response IP address, where the remaining bits of the response IP address may be used to store requestor information (e.g., a requestor IP address). When a client computing device uses the response IP address to access the edge server, requestor information is extracted and associated with client computing device information (e.g., an IP address and/or location, etc.) in an association record. Association records may be used to determine predicted characteristics for devices served by a requestor. When the authoritative DNS server resolves a request from the requestor, such predicted characteristics may be used rather than relying solely on information about a requestor. Thus, an edge server proximate to the predicted location may be returned instead. | 2021-07-01 |
20210203631 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus that transmits data outside via different communication interfaces performs operations, including setting an interface correspondence between a domain name identifying a domain and a communication interface for use with an external apparatus belonging to the domain, generating, from the set interface correspondence, a setting indicating a Domain Name System (DNS) server correspondence between the domain name and the DNS server to which name resolution for a host name of the external apparatus is to be transferred, and activating a DNS cache server that operates from the generated setting. A DNS client requested for the host name resolution by an application of the communication apparatus transmits a name resolution request to the DNS cache server. Based on the received host name, the DNS cache server determines an external DNS server to which the name resolution is requested, and requests the determined external DNS server for the name resolution. | 2021-07-01 |
20210203632 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RESOLVING DOUBLE ADDRESS FAULTS DURING THE COMMISSIONING OF A CONNECTED SYSTEM - Systems and methods for resolving double address faults during the commissioning of a connected system are provided. Some methods can include identifying a subset of a plurality of devices in a region with a double address fault, displaying a first list of the subset, receiving user input selecting one of the subset, identifying a current location of a user, generating a map of the region, wherein the map identifies a respective location of each of the subset and includes visual signs to guide the user from the current location of the user to the respective location of the one of the subset, displaying the map, generating a second list of valid addresses assignable to the one of the subset to address the double address fault, and displaying the second list. | 2021-07-01 |
20210203633 | OPERATING MODE CONFIGURATION - Examples relate to operating mode configuration. An apparatus may include a memory resource storing executable instructions. Instructions may include instructions to receive a message from a host computing device coupled to the apparatus. The message may include a Host Based Media Access Control Address (HBMA). Instructions may further include instructions to configure the apparatus using the HBMA in response to a determination that the apparatus is in a particular operating mode. The apparatus may further include a processing resource to execute the instructions stored on the memory resource. | 2021-07-01 |
20210203634 | METHOD FOR ASSIGNING A MAC ADDRESS, AND DATABASE WITH MAC ADDRESSES - A method in which a communication device can be configured with a MAC address so that when the user logs into a network environment using a communication device from among a number of communication devices a MAC address is assigned to the user and is specific to the user. The MAC address assignment can be used for pairing with a communication device assigned to the user (e.g. a near-field communication device). A database containing MAC addresses can be connected to communication devices through a network and can provide user-specific MAC addresses that are readable into or otherwise transmittable to a predetermined communication device when a user logs into the network. The database can be managed by a server or other computer device of the network. | 2021-07-01 |
20210203635 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC WAF SERVICE CONFIGURATION - A method and system for continuously configuring a web application firewall (WAF) are provided. The method includes receiving a request directed at a protected web application, wherein the request is received from a client device associated with a trusted user account, and wherein the protected web application is protected by the WAF; validating the received request based on at least a signature included in a header of the received request; when the received request is validated, generating an authorization rule based on the received request, wherein the authorization rule allows access to a resource of the protected web application designated in the received request, wherein the generated authorization rule is included in at least one whitelist the WAF is configured with; and configuring the WAF with the generated authorization rule to allow the received request and subsequent request to be directed to the resource of the protected web application. | 2021-07-01 |
20210203636 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR IMPLEMENTING INDIRECT GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE (GPRS) TUNNELING PROTOCOL (GTP) FIREWALL FILTERING USING DIAMETER AGENT AND SIGNAL TRANSFER POINT (STP) - A method for implementing indirect GTP firewall filtering includes using a signaling message routing node to dynamically populate an indirect GTP-C firewall filtering database with IMSIs and VPLMN IDs extracted from mobility management signaling messages for updating the locations of outbound roaming subscribers. The method further includes receiving a CCR-I message generated in response to a GTP-C message. The method further includes extracting an IMSI and a VPLMN ID from the CCR-I message. The method further includes accessing the indirect GTP-C firewall filtering database using the IMSI extracted from the CCR-I message. The method further includes determining that a record corresponding to the IMSI is present in the indirect GTP-C firewall filtering database. The method further includes determining that a VPLMN ID in the record does not match the VPLMN ID extracted from the CCR-I message. The method further includes, in response to determining that the VPLMN ID in the record does not match the VPLMN ID extracted from the CCR-I message, rejecting the CCR-I message. | 2021-07-01 |
