Container Chaining for Automated Process Completion
This patent describes “a method obtains a configuration for an automated process that includes discrete tasks.” The system allows users to specify different container images for each task and define the sequence for instantiating containers to complete the process. The method automatically identifies the next container to execute and repeats this process until all tasks are finished.
Intra-Media Demarcation
This patent presents a mechanism enabling users to “mark one or more sections of the media’s timeline for later reference.” The system stores demarcation data as metadata while preserving the original media intact. An enhanced player can then display these highlighted sections during playback without modifying the source material, allowing viewers to experience both the complete media and the annotated portions.
