  • Publication number: 20240143551
    Abstract: A client application sends an application programming interface call to an interface of a content management system. The call specifies one or more content item search criteria. Sending the call causes the content management system to perform a lookup in a content item index to identify at least one content item that satisfies the one or more content item search criteria. Based on sending the call, the client application receives from the content management system a suggestion to attach the at least one content item to a text being displayed by at the computing system.

  • Patent number: 11308032
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates searching an online content management system for content items associated with a user. During operation, the system receives a call from a client application at a search interface in the online content management system, wherein the client application is operating on behalf of the user. In response to the call, the system performs a lookup in a per-user index within the online content management system, wherein the per-user index facilitates looking up information about content items associated with the user in the online content management system. The system then returns the information obtained during the lookup to the client application. The client application can then use the retrieved information to facilitate an interaction between the client application and the user.

  • Patent number: 10786409
    Abstract: A support belt assists caretaker in moving an ambulatory-impaired person. A strap has a plurality of attachment fixtures such as grommets that are longitudinally spaced and has a buckle for engaging the strap around a torso of an individual. The connector is engageable between a selected two of the attachment fixtures to draw one portion of the strap to closely encircle the ambulatory-impaired person and to form another portion of the strap into a grasping loop. A second support belt can be attached to the strap by two or more belt connector in order to double the portion of the torso encircled or to support buttocks or thigh of the ambulatory-impaired person.

  • Patent number: 10585906
    Abstract: A database system may implement communications language queries to query data based on relationships between communications. A user may input a communications language query, and may process the query at a user device or at a database server. In some cases, the database server may process the query based on a periodic or event-based trigger. Processing the query may involve identifying one or more sets of communication events based on the type of communication event or a property of the communication event (e.g., referred to as a moment or score), as well as a temporal, user, or geographic relationship between the sets of communication events. The user device or database server may return a timestamp of a communication event, moment, or score, a number of occurrences of communication events, moments, or scores, or a Boolean value indicating whether a particular communication event, moment, or score exists to the user.

  • Publication number: 20190012065
    Abstract: A user viewing an online content item using an online content client application can, from within that application, launch an operating application to operate on the content item. The operating application can interact with the online content management provider to obtain a current copy of the content item and to save a modified content item back to the online content management service, e.g., if the user instructs the operating application to save the item. Interactions between the client application, the operating application and the online content management service can occur without requiring the user to manually initiate upload or download of any content items. Operations on an online content item can also be initiated from within an operating application.

  • Publication number: 20180253654
    Abstract: A system may generate rules based on identifying patterns within a set of communications. The system may determine moments and scores based on events and parameters within a communication of the set of communications. In some cases, the set of communications may be stored in a database, and the system may update the set of communications in real-time. The system may determine an insight based on the moments and scores across the set of communications. For example, the system may identify patterns of moments, scores, or the relationship between moments and scores. The system may determine the insight based on the identified pattern. The system may generate a rule based on the insight. In some cases, the rule may specify and action for the system to take. The system may implement the rule in real-time based on transmitting or receiving communications.

  • Publication number: 20180221754
    Abstract: A system for the arrangement of cards. One or more connection indices may be located along the edges of one or more cards. Connection indices may permit displaced alignments of one or more cards. Two or more cards having displaced alignments may form an irregular chain of cards. Cards may have constituent pictographs incorporating connection indices of the cards. An irregular chain of cards may form an aggregate pictograph across the connections indices of the cards in the chain. The nature of the constituent pictographs and the locations of connection indices on cards may determine the form of the irregular chain or an aggregate pictograph.
