  • Patent number: 11310120
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed of detection and analysis of network-based assets under common management by an entity. Network-based assets that are under common management by an entity may be owned or associated with the entity. Some network assets may appear to be under the common management of an entity, but may be operated by an unauthorized entity. Detecting a relationship between or ownership of network assets for malicious network activity may be a challenge. Specifically, the connection between authorized assets and unauthorized assets may be difficult to identify, especially if assets are masked or changed to evade detection. A network analytic system is disclosed that can process different data from multiple sources (e.g., at least multiple, disparate data sources) to identify relationships between network-based assets.

  • Patent number: 11201796
    Abstract: A method and system for enabling transfer of widgets across containers at runtime. According to embodiments of the present invention, a user is allowed to transfer a widget across containers at runtime, for example, moving a widget that has been deployed and operated in one widget container to another, even though the destination widget container originally does not support the widget. Specifically, the widget being transferred can keep consistency in terms of data and state before and after the transfer. Furthermore, the user can implement the cross-container transfer of widgets at runtime by, for example, convenient interaction means like a drag-and-drop operation. In this way, the user can operate and interact with Web applications in a more convenient and flexible way.

  • Patent number: 11099863
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for positioning application windows based on existing application layout and anticipated user workflows. When an existing application window and a recently launched application window are determined to be related to a workflow, and the default position of the recently launched application window is determined to overlap with the existing application window, the recently launched application window may be displayed in a non-default display region to avoid occlusion. By avoiding occlusion, the foldable device may provide a user-friendly application layout, reducing the number of times a user will move, resize, or switch between application windows in the workflow. This in turn may improve device performance and efficiency while reducing errors attributable to user input. The user-friendly layout may also enable a user to view more content at the same time, increasing productivity, reducing eye strain, facilitating operations such as cut and paste, etc.
