  • Patent number: 11983557
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting dynamic process orchestration are described. An orchestration server may receive a request defining a data modification process from a user device. The orchestration server may generate an execution file based on the request, and the execution file may include a set of tasks for performing the data modification process and an order for performing the set of tasks. The orchestration server may execute, for the execution file, a first set of tasks according to the order for performing the set of tasks and, in some cases, may update the execution file based on executing the first subset of tasks. For example, updating the execution file may involve modifying a second subset of tasks of the set of tasks.

  • Patent number: 11960695
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates use of an application on an electronic device. During operation, the system obtains a first metadata definition containing a mapping of view components in a user interface of the application to a set of attribute-specific types associated with an attribute of the electronic device, and a second metadata definition containing a set of rules for binding the attribute-specific types to a set of platform-specific user-interface elements for a platform of the electronic device. Next, the system generates a view for display in the user interface by applying, based on the attribute and the platform, the first and second metadata definitions to content describing the view to select one or more platform-specific user-interface elements for rendering one or more of the view components in the content. The system then instantiates the platform-specific user-interface element(s) to render the view component(s).

  • Patent number: 11928083
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for recommendation systems. Embodiments commence by gathering a set of pathnames that refer to content objects of a collaboration system. A tokenizer converts at least some of the pathnames into vectors. The vectors comprise hierarchical path components such as folder names or file names, which vectors are labeled with an indication as to whether or not the folder or file referred to in a particular vector had been clicked on by one or more users. Some portion of the labeled vectors are used to train a predictive model. Another portion of the vectors are used to validate the predictive model. When the model exhibits sufficient precision and recall, the predictive model is then used to predict the probability that a particular user would have an interest in a particular folder or file. The folder name or file name is presented as a collaboration recommendation.
