  • Patent number: 11080247
    Abstract: A method for a multi-tenant server to manage data in a blockchain network is described. The method includes generating an exchange object for the network, wherein the exchange object includes a set of exchange fields and a mapping between each exchange field in the set of exchange fields and a field of an object associated with each peer in the network; determining permissions for each exchange field and for each peer in the network; generating, on behalf of a first peer in the network, a transaction object using the exchange object, wherein the transaction object includes a set of field values for the set of exchange fields and one or more field values in the set of values are encrypted based on the permissions; and making the transaction object available to a second peer in the network to attempt to obtain consensus for altering an object of the first peer.

  • Patent number: 11080279
    Abstract: An interface for users to gain access and manipulate unstructured data is provided. In response to receiving a user query associated with a first database format, a system can request unstructured data associated with a second database format from a second database. The unstructured data can include a set of data groups where each data group has a set of values. Each value can be associated with a different tag. To generate a structured database, some embodiments can determine the number of data groups and the number of unique tags across the data groups and populate the table with data from the unstructured data. Subsequently, the system can apply the user query to the table to obtain a query result and transmit the query result to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20210234669
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for using cache objects to store events for adding corresponding objects in a blockchain. In one implementation, a first cache object is identified. The cache object stores events published responsive to updates, insertions, or deletions of records in a database object. An identifier for the cache object is based on a time window with which the cache object is associated, and an identifier for the database object. Events are retrieved from a cache that includes the cache object, based on the identifier for the cache object. The events were stored in the cache object during the time window. A block is added to a blockchain. The block's payload includes objects corresponding to a subset of the events.

  • Patent number: 11075863
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for publisher and share action integration in a user interface (UI) for automated messaging. In some implementations, information is displayed in a first component and in a second component in a UI on a display. The first component is a publisher configured for composing and sharing messages on different communication channels using different share actions. The second component includes links to data items. When one of the data items is selected, a set of share actions for sharing the selected item using the publisher can be identified and displayed. When one of the displayed share actions is selected, it can be determined that the selected share action is applicable to one of the communication channels. A reference to the selected item can be provided in a message being composed in the publisher for sharing on the one communication channel.
