  • Publication number: 20220036290
    Abstract: A system and associated methods for dynamically apportioning inventory units across a warehouse node network operated by third parties for a time-bound campaign are provided. The method includes receiving a placement request for inventory from a merchant, the placement request including a start date, an end date, and desired service levels for shipping the inventory to customers during a time-bound campaign. Before the start date, the method includes accessing a database storing a plurality of node data sets associated with warehouse nodes. Based on the node data sets and the service level parameters, an apportionment of inventory across a set of distributed warehouse nodes is determined. The method also includes providing placement instructions for transferring the inventory from central warehouse node locations to the distributed warehouse nodes.

  • Patent number: 10788971
    Abstract: A server system suitable for organizing files using stickers is provided. The server system determines a plurality of stickers applicable to data presented on a user interface of a client device, and causes presentation of the determined plurality of stickers on the user interface of the client device. The server system receives a selection of a sticker from the plurality of stickers. The server system then applies the selected sticker to the presented data, whereby the application of the selected sticker causes the presented data to be classified based on the selected sticker.

  • Patent number: 9986016
    Abstract: Download manager integration with a cloud storage platform is described. In one or more implementations, a web page is navigated to using a web platform. User input to the web page to download content referenced in the web page is detected. For example, the web page may include a download link that is selected by the user to download content such as a media file, word processing file, and so forth. In response to detecting the user input to download the content, a download manager automatically, and without any additional user input, initiates a download of the content to a cloud storage database that is remote from the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20160162591
    Abstract: Techniques for tagging and filtering of web content accessed via a web platform are described herein. Content items added to quick links data are automatically tagged with contextual metadata tags indicative of filterable properties of browsing activity. A request is subsequently received to access the quick links data and the quick links data is filtered to generate an arrangement of quick links in groups of related items. The user interface is configured with visual representations for each of the groups to expose the arrangement of quick links and facilitate user interaction to access content items through the web platform using the groups. For example, a quick link access page may be output to show filtered views of browsing history, bookmarks, and/or favorites in relevant groupings based on tags associated with content items.
