Patent number: 11962627Abstract: Executable code comprising a local file system is stored at a collaboration system server for downloading. The remote collaboration system responds to a message from a user device to download the local file system. The local file system to be downloaded is configured to operate on the user device so as to issue requests from the user device to perform an initial access to server-side collaboration data. The collaboration system responds to such requests by predicting interests of the user, which predictions are used to retrieve additional server-side collaboration data. The additional server-side collaboration data is sent to the user device and stored on the user device in an area for locally-stored collaboration system information. The user provides search terms for searching the locally-stored collaboration system information, and results are displayed on the user device. The results are displayed without the need to perform additional communications with remote collaboration system.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Inventors: Advait Karande, Tanooj Luthra, Ritik Malhotra
