  • Patent number: 11412049
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for shared content management systems. In a content management system that supports multiple applications that operate on shared documents, multiple modules are operatively interconnected to make and present activity-based application recommendations. Techniques for making activity-based application recommendations include recording a series of interaction events from multiple users, which events correspond to a series of interactions performed by a plurality of applications over a shared content object. Constituent interaction events from the series of interactions are analyzed to determine a set of recommended applications. The set of recommended applications is presented to a user in a dynamically-populated user interface.

  • Patent number: 11386129
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for searching for entities based on trust score and geography. The trust score may be calculated between entities including, but not limited to, human users, groups of users, organizations, or businesses/corporations and may take into account a variety of factors, including verification data, network connectivity, publicly available information, ratings data, group/demographic information, location data, and transactions to be performed, among others. A user may search for entities within a certain geographic location that meet a desired trust score. The results of the search may be generated for display on a user device, for example, by generating a map that shows the current location of the user device and the identified entities. The search may be filtered by entering an anticipated activity or transaction to be performed or desired by the user, and thereby returning entities that are associated with the activity or transaction.

  • Patent number: 11360992
    Abstract: Watermarking of an ordered event stream (OES) is disclosed. Writing events to an OES can advance populating of the OES, which can be correspond to progress values. Progress values can enable a reader to know where it is in an OES. A reported progress value can be determined from the progress values based on an event being committed to the OES. Moreover, an effective progress value can be determined from the progress values and monitoring the OES for events with that defer being committed to the OES. A watermark for the OES can be determined from the effective progress value such that reading beyond the effective progress value is restricted. This can provide confidence that the reader has read out properly committed events and has not omitted any events having deferred commitment.

  • Patent number: 11360826
    Abstract: The described technology is directed towards returning less data than is available for a data item in response to a request to a data service. A virtual graph node is returned in response to client requests, in which the virtual node comprises a relatively lightweight set of information relative to the full set of information for the data item, e.g., maintained in a main (graph) node. A requesting client indicates that a virtual node is desired, and receives a response comprising the virtual node, generally processed from the main node's data into a reduced subset of the main node. The main node may be cached at the data service, and returned if and when requested.

  • Patent number: 11327966
    Abstract: Executing a query in a disaggregated cluster. A query is received at the disaggregated cluster. A query graph is created based on the query that identifies a hierarchy of vertices, where each vertex is associated with a set of data responsive to at least a portion of the query. The compute nodes process the query graph by first identifying all tables, files, and objects stored on the storage nodes whose access is required to retrieve data that satisfy the query. Next, the compute nodes selectively assign the identified tables, files, and objects to a leaf vertex of the query graph to optimize retrieving data from the storage nodes. Thereafter, the compute nodes process the retrieved data sets associated with each vertex using separate threads of execution for each vertex of the query graph such that leaf vertices are performed in parallel. The compute nodes then provide a result set.

  • Patent number: 11314789
    Abstract: An anomaly-detection system that gathers information relating to the relationships between entities and represents these relationships in a graph that interconnects each pair of related entities. The graph may represent a computer network, in which each node corresponds to a respective device in the network and each edge between two nodes indicates that the devices represented by the nodes exchanged communication with one another in the past. the system monitors each of the entities in the graph, by continually computing a single-entity anomaly score (SEAS) for the entity. If the SEAS exceeds a first threshold the system generates an alert. Otherwise, the system checks whether the SEAS exceeds a second, lower threshold. If so, the system computes a subgraph anomaly score (SAS) for the entity's subgraph. If the SAS exceeds a SAS threshold, an alert is generated. By computing the SAS in this manner resources are conserved.

  • Patent number: 11308235
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for detecting sensitive personal information in a storage device. A block delta list containing a list of changed blocks in the storage device is processed. After identifying the changed blocks from the block delta list, a search is performed on those identified changed blocks for sensitive personal information using a character scanning technique. After identifying a changed block deemed to contain sensitive personal information, the changed block is translated from the block level to the file level using a hierarchical reverse mapping technique. By only analyzing the changed blocks to determine if they contain sensitive personal information, a lesser quantity of blocks needs to be processed in order to detect sensitive personal information in the storage device in near real-time. In this manner, sensitive personal information is detected in the storage device using fewer computing resources in a shorter amount of time.

  • Patent number: 11301440
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an efficient dataset search and/or deduplication that improve the speed and efficiency of dataset record search and/or deduplication over traditional methods. Certain implementations apply field-level deletion neighborhood processing to ordered field permutations of dataset records encoded with hash values. A method includes determining a field-level deletion neighborhood for two or more field combinations of the record by determining field hash values, creating field permutations, determining combined record hash values for each permutation; and associating each record hash value to the unique entity identifier. The method includes searching other entity representation records for matching combined record hash values, and assigning one or more of a unique entity identifier and a duplicate entity identifier to the other entity representation records having the matching combined record hash values.

  • Patent number: 11287980
    Abstract: Systems and methods for storage pruning can enable users to delete, edit, or copy backed up data that matches a pattern. Storage pruning can enable fine-grain deletion or copying of files from backups stored in secondary storage devices. Systems and methods can also enable editing of metadata associated with backups so that when the backups are restored or browsed, the logical edits to the metadata can then be performed physically on the data to create a custom restore or a custom view. A user may perform operations such as renaming, deleting, modifying flags, and modifying retention policies on backed up items. Although the underlying data in the backup may not change, the view of the backup data when the user browses the backup data can appear to include the user's changes. A restore of the data can cause those changes to be performed on the backup data.
