US 2022/0046070 A1 · RESERVATION MANAGEMENT FOR POLLING REQUESTS IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Techniques for committing back end computing resources to an online stream of requests for data from client devices are described herein. A polling schedule server (e.g., a reservation management system), may receive polling reservation requests from a plurality of client devices, may evaluate each client device's need for “fresh” data based on a number of input signals, and may assign the client device a polling slot (e.g., a reservation for a future polling time). The polling scheduler server may subsequently receive a polling request from a client device and, upon validating a token received from the client device as well as a difference between an assigned polling time and the polling request timestamp, may grant the polling request by transmitting a request to one or more communication system servers, receiving data from the communication system servers, and providing the data to the client device.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, from a client associated with a user account of a user, a polling reservation request comprising at least one of a client identifier or a user identifier associated with the user account;
determining, based at least in part on the at least one of the client identifier or the user identifier, interaction data associated with the user accessing a remote platform via the client;
determining a level of interaction associated with one or more other users interacting with the remote platform;
determining, based at least in part on the interaction data and the level of interaction, a first polling slot associated with the client receiving updated data associated with the remote platform;
and
transmitting, to the client, a reservation grant message comprising a first polling time associated with the first polling slot and a first polling token.

3 more elements

A system associated with a communication platform, wherein the system comprises:

one or more processors;
and
one or more computer-readable media comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a client associated with a user account of a user, a polling reservation request comprising at least one of a client identifier or a user identifier associated with the user account;
determining, based at least in part on the at least one of the client identifier or the user identifier, interaction data associated with the user accessing a remote platform via the client;
determining a level of interaction associated with one or more other users interacting with the remote platform;
determining, based at least in part on the interaction data and the level of interaction, a first polling slot associated with the client receiving updated data associated with the remote platform;
and
transmitting, to the client, a reservation grant message comprising a first polling time associated with the first polling slot and a first polling token.

6 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a client associated with a user account of a user, a polling reservation request comprising at least one of a client identifier or a user identifier associated with the user account;
determining, based at least in part on the at least one of the client identifier or the user identifier, interaction data associated with the user accessing a remote platform via the client;
determining a level of interaction associated with one or more other users interacting with the remote platform;
determining, based at least in part on the interaction data and the level of interaction, a first polling slot associated with the client receiving updated data associated with the remote platform;
and
transmitting, to the client, a reservation grant message comprising a first polling time associated with the first polling slot and a first polling token.
