Patent number: 11783056Abstract: In some embodiments, a first device may generate a data block for an ordered set of data blocks such that the data block is cryptographically chained to a given data block preceding the data block in the ordered set. The first device may obtain an encryption key used to encrypt information related to the data block, and use group members' keys to encrypt the encryption key to generate a group key. As an example, the group's members may include a first member associated with the first device and other members. The keys used to encrypt the encryption key may include the other members' keys. The first device may transmit the ordered set and the group key to a communication resource (e.g., accessible by the members). Other devices (associated with the other members) may use the ordered set and the group key to obtain content related to the ordered set.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Topia Technology, Inc.Inventors: John Haager, Cody Sandwith, Janine Terrano, Prasad Saripalli

Publication number: 20230004527Abstract: A server system, based on content of a first file stored on a first client device being modified, automatically receives a copy of the modified first file from a first transfer client, implemented on the first client device, the copy of the modified first file being an updated version of the first file generated from content of the first file being modified. The server system receives, from the first transfer client, first metadata associated with the updated version of the first file, the first metadata being assigned a first priority greater than a second priority assigned to the copy of the modified first file. The server system automatically transfers the first metadata to a second transfer client, implemented on a second client device, before the copy of the modified first file is transferred to the second transfer client to be stored on the second client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: Topia Technology, Inc.Inventors: Michael R.

Patent number: 11003622Abstract: In certain embodiments, automatic modification-triggered transfer of a file among two or more computer systems associated with a user. In some embodiments, a copy of a first file may be received, via a first application at a first computer system, from a second application at a second computer system associated with a user. The first file copy may be automatically received from the second application responsive to the user modifying a content of the first file, where the first file copy is a version of the first file that is generated from the user modifying the content of the first file. Responsive to receiving the first file copy from the second computer system, the first file copy may be automatically transferred via the first application to a third computer system associated with the user to replace an older version of the first file stored on the third computer system.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: TOPIA TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventor: Michael R.
