  • Patent number: 11983196
    Abstract: A system and method for seamless access to remotely manage documents using synchronization of locally stored documents are provided. In some embodiments, a content management server stores documents in a cache on the user's computer. Documents can thus be accessed and edited using the document in the local file system of the user and synchronized with the content management server asynchronously to access the documents on the local files system. Advantageously, the teachings of embodiments as described can be used in conjunction with content management systems for providing faster access to documents in conjunction with editing and for enabling offline work on such documents.

  • Publication number: 20220207057
    Abstract: A system and method that enables editing capabilities of content accessed from a content management server using any type of locally-installed application is provided. In some embodiments, a content management server stores documents in a cache on the user's computer. Documents can thus be accessed and edited using the document in the local file system of the user. For example, users may open, reserve or lock, download, and edit documents with a single user action such as a click. Advantageously, the teachings of embodiments as described can be used in conjunction with content management systems for improving the user experiences involved in editing documents by providing an ‘instant’ and ‘seamless’ editing experience substantially equivalent to editing files on a local hard disk.

  • Patent number: 10019284
    Abstract: Embodiments include an evaluator that can receive a query containing a predicate from an application executing on a client device. The evaluator can process the predicate using a tree structure containing nodes representing objects and edges representing relationships thereof. The processing can include applying filters to attributes of the relationships to identify a first set of objects relevant to the predicate and navigating along each incoming role of a relationship and from there via an outgoing role to other objects to identify a second set of objects relevant to the predicate. An object is relevant to the predicate if at least a value of a field of the object is equal or similar to a value of the predicate. Responsive to the query, the evaluator can return identifiers associated with a united set of the first set of objects and the second set of objects to the application.

  • Patent number: 9026538
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for performing transactions on data entities in a database and a transactional database. The database comprises an ordered set of data stores with at least one static data store, wherein said static data store uses an index structure based on a non-updatable representation of an ordered set of integers according to the principle of compressed inverted indices. The method allows to generate a modifiable data store when the performed transaction comprises an insert, update or delete operation, to execute operations of the transaction on the ordered set being present at the time when the transaction has been started and, if present, on the modifiable data store and to convert data stores to a new static data store, The insert, update or delete operation are executed on the modifiable data store which is the only data store modifiable for the transaction.
