Publication number: 20240119236Abstract: Systems, methods and products for accessing a set of electronic document templates, identifying instances of common document content such as content items which are semantically similar, and generating component templates containing the common content. Semantically similar content may be identified by analyzing content for factors such as expressed sentiment, included keyphrases, recognizable entities, expressed topics, assigning values to content based on these factors, and determining similarity based on comparisons of the assigned values. Component templates may also be generated based on types of content that include identical text or images, content that has a predefined level of similarity rather than being identical, content that has common rules, scripting logic or variables, metadata, etc. The component templates may be generated automatically, or in response to user instructions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: James Matthew Downs, Anthony Wiley

Publication number: 20240106768Abstract: One embodiment comprises a non-transitory, computer-readable medium embodying thereon computer-executable instructions for receiving a document design, generating a conversation-enabled document from the document design, exposing the conversation-enabled document on a conversation channel, receiving a participant response, updating the conversation-enabled document based the participant response, and rendering a communication page on a second channel using the updated conversation-enabled document. The document design comprises a page template and a conversation template. The page template specifies content of the communication page and a variable to be populated with a first variable value. The conversation template defines a state machine for an automated conversation, the conversation template specifying a variable to which the participant response is to be written.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: James Matthew Downs, Byron Steven Pruitt, Jeffrey Alan Cole, Anthony Wiley

Publication number: 20230370677Abstract: Systems and methods for the design, deployment and utilization of targeted communications based upon audiences are disclosed. More specifically, embodiments may allow the targeting of communications to users based on a user's audience affiliation and may allow the dynamic targeting of communications based on an audience with which a user is affiliated, including audiences determined from user interactions with a web site.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2022Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: James Matthew Downs, Jack Dwane Gilvin, Randall Scott Sparks, Shawn Ashley Doyle

Patent number: 11816072Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods as disclosed may provide a platform agnostic way to edit content within an enterprise. For example, a platform independent thin client editor may be provided such that this editor can be accessed by users at a variety of computing platforms across the distributed computer network of an enterprise, regardless of the platform from which the thin client editor is being accessed. Moreover, certain embodiments may provide a role based mechanism for controlling the editing of content. Embodiments of such a role based mechanism may allow one editor of a content item to designate a role associated with the content item so that only users associated with that role may be allowed to edit the content item or portion of the content item.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Open Text CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Alan Cole, James Matthew Downs, Steven Mark Cheal, Jack Dwane Gilvin, Jeffrey Michael Doyle

Publication number: 20230198920Abstract: One embodiment comprises a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions executable to access a conversation-enabled document and expose the conversation-enabled document on a conversation channel as a conversation into the conversation-enabled document. The conversation-enabled document can comprise a conversation component for controlling a conversation interface into the conversation-enabled document, the conversation component specifying conversation steps, routing between conversation steps and a document variable to accept a conversation participant response. The computer-executable instructions can be executable to set a document variable value in the conversation-enabled document based on the participant response received via the conversation interface; and render the conversation-enabled document to a response channel using the document variable and the page template.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: James Matthew Downs, Byron Steven Pruitt, Jeffrey Alan Cole, Anthony Wiley

Patent number: 11425122Abstract: A solution for circumventing censorship is disclosed. A first device connects to a first server hosted in a content delivery network (CDN). The CDN routes the first device's connection request to the first server. The first server responds by providing the first device with a configuration file that contains a plurality of second servers for the first device to access. The first device disconnects from the first server and hops between one or more of the plurality of second servers contained in the configuration file. By distributing the configuration file from a first server hosted in a CDN, the first device obfuscates the true endpoint of the connection. Thus, the first device obtains the configuration file without drawing the ire of censors. By hopping from server-to-server, the first device stays one step ahead of censors. Accordingly, a multi-prong approach to staying a step ahead of eavesdroppers, sniffers, and censors is described.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Dowd, Christopher Lalonde, Thomas Michael Leavy, Arjun Bhatnagar, Dipakkumar R.
