Publication number: 20240089307Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media for surfacing relevant topics discussed in a synchronous multimedia collaboration session to interested nonparticipants of the synchronous multimedia collaboration session. A relevant topic of the synchronous multimedia collaboration session may be determined based in part on audio data from the synchronous multimedia collaboration session. At least one nonparticipating member with an interest in the relevant topic of the synchronous multimedia collaboration session may be identified. A notification of the synchronous multimedia collaboration session associated with the relevant topic may be surfaced to the at least one non-participating member.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Oleksii Kalinichenko, Akshay Bakshi, Leena Mansour

Patent number: 11902236Abstract: The present disclosure is related to automatically, based on contextual information and without needing explicit input from a user, modifying one or more settings associated with presenting a notification. In examples, settings may include automatically suspending notification presentation or automatically overriding a notification setting that suspends notification presentation. In addition, contextual information may include, among other things, information related to a computing device (e.g., device location or network signal strength), a rate of user interaction or engagement with an application (e.g., rate of information sharing, user reactions, etc.), and/or a calendar or schedule of a user. In examples, the contextual information may be analyzed (e.g., based on comparison to a threshold) to determine whether a condition is met, and based on the analysis, the one or more settings may be modified.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Akshay Bakshi, Scott Buchanan, Mina Chandler, Gavin Ham, Justin Rushing, Leena Mansour, Faisal Yaqub

Patent number: 11848906Abstract: Using proximity data to update user interfaces for users of a communication platform is described. The communication platform can determine, for a first user of the communication platform, a first location of the first user and for at least a second user of the communication platform, a second location of the second user. Based at least in part on a determination that the first location and the second location satisfy a condition, the communication platform can cause a user interface of the communication platform to be updated, wherein the updated user interface indicates at least one of (i) proximity data associated with the first user and the second user or (ii) context data associated with at least one of the first user or the second user.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Justin Rushing, Akshay Bakshi, Scott Buchanan, Leena Mansour

Publication number: 20230033027Abstract: Techniques for documenting steps in a workflow via a communication channel of a communication platform based on code data input via a computing device are described herein. In an example, a user inputs a code, such as by scanning the code with a camera of a computing device. The communication platform receives the input and determines that a step in a workflow is complete. The communication platform identifies a communication channel associated with the workflow based on the input and generates a message to be transmitted via the communication channel, the message providing documentation of completion of a step in the workflow based on the input. In some examples, the communication platform receives additional data associated with the step in the workflow, such as images of an item and/or an environment associated with the step in the workflow and causes the additional data to be presented via the communication channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Justin Rushing, Akshay Bakshi, Faisal Yaqub, Michelle Jones

Publication number: 20230032159Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for documenting synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions in a group-based communication system. A live synchronous multimedia collaboration session is detected. In response to the detecting, a first audio segment is received and transcribed into a first text segment. A collaboration thread associated with the live synchronous multimedia collaboration session is generated. In real time, a first message is posted based on the first transcribed text segment to the collaboration thread associated with the live synchronous multimedia collaboration session. Next, a second audio segment is received and transcribed into a second text segment. Finally, in real time and during the live synchronous multimedia collaboration session, a second message is posted to the collaboration thread based on the second transcribed text segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Oleksii Kalinichenko, Akshay Bakshi

Patent number: 11093100Abstract: A virtual reality device can implement varying interactive modes for document viewing and editing by displaying, at an application container level, a current mode view in a view frame of the virtual reality device; and in response to receiving an overview command trigger, determining context, including that the current mode view is at the application container level; expanding to a next level view of, e.g., a task level or an overview level; and displaying, at a next level, the next level view in the view frame of the virtual reality device. The current mode view of the application container level includes a container space of an application and an application container level rule for the container space. Conversely, the virtual reality device can adjust the next level view back to the application container level in response to a focused command trigger and identified region of interest.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael M.
