  • Patent number: 11604797
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for inferring joins for data sets. In some implementations, a first data table and a second data table are identified. A first subset of records are selected from the first data table and a second subset of records are selected from the second data table. For fields of the first subset and the second subset, sets of feature values are generated indicating characteristics of the data in the fields. Based on the sets of feature values, one or more similarity score are determined, with each similarity score indicating a similarity of a column in the first data table with respect to a column in the second data table.

  • Patent number: 11520870
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for proximity-based access. In some implementations, a computing device detects an attempt to access the computing device while the computing device is in a secured state. In response to detecting the attempt to access the computing device, the computing device sends a first message to a server system over a network. After sending the message, the computing device receives a second message from the server system over the network, the second message comprising authentication data for the computing device. The computing device determines that a mobile device that was previously designated as an authentication factor for accessing the computing device is located within a predetermined level of proximity of the computing device, and the computing device grants access to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11500655
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer-readable media, for inline and contextual delivery of content, which may include content selectively determined using private database content. In some implementations, interface data indicating text of a user interface of a electronic device is obtained. A particular term in the text of the user interface of the electronic device is determined to satisfy one or more criteria. Based on determining that the particular term satisfies the one or more criteria, the particular term is annotated to alter the appearance of the particular term in the user interface. After annotating the particular term, user interaction with the annotated term is detected and a card is provided for display in the user interface. The card can include information that corresponds to the term and that was determined using content from a private database for an organization of the user.
