  • Patent number: 11461533
    Abstract: A system and computer implemented method for managing a workload in an environment is disclosed. The method may include establishing a set of criteria for providing a document preview, wherein the set of criteria includes a predetermined qualitative user-input feature. The method may also include detecting a first criterion of the set of criteria using a content recognition system configured to analyze user-generated data associated with the document. The first criterion may be correlated with a portion of the document. The method may also include generating, based on the first criterion, a document preview for the portion of the document. The method may also include presenting, in response to a triggering event for a display preview, the document preview.

  • Patent number: 10972443
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for encrypted document co-editing. In an implementation, a method may include receiving, at a first computing device, a first encrypted change set for a co-editable data object from a client, the first encrypted change set being encrypted by a first key. The method may include requesting a second key for re-encrypting the first encrypted change set. The method may include re-encrypting the first encrypted change set to generate a second encrypted change set using the second key.

  • Patent number: 10642717
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system device for monitoring a plurality of individual actions executed on at least a portion of a software application. It may be determined whether the plurality of individual actions executed on the at least a portion of the software application complete at least one test case of a plurality of test cases. The at least one test case may be marked as completed based upon, at least in part, determining that the plurality of individual actions executed on the at least a portion of the software application complete the at least one test case of the plurality of test cases.
