  • Patent number: 11513905
    Abstract: A data protection application creates backups of assets. Each asset is mapped in a directory service to one or more asset owners. The directory service is separate from the data protection application. A search query from a user seeking to search the backups is received at the data protection application. The directory service is consulted to identify assets having the user as an asset owner. A search filter is generated including a list of the identified assets. The search filter is applied to the search query to exclude from a search result backups of assets not having the user as the asset owner. The search result is returned to the user, the search result thereby including backups of assets having the user as an asset owner and excluding other backups of other assets not having the user as the asset owner.

  • Patent number: 11481455
    Abstract: Techniques for using contextual information relating to content presented by a television as part of a search query for an information search are presented. A search management component, at a given moment in time during presentation of television-related content by a communication device in or associated with a television, identifies contextual information associated with a section of the television-related content and generates a content identifier timestamp associated with the contextual information and the section of television-related content. A search component augments a search query using the contextual information to facilitate customization of a subset of search results based on the contextual information. The contextual information in the search query can facilitate disambiguating the search query or promoting a search result over another search result in the subset of search results, based on the contextual information, to facilitate customization of the subset of search results.

  • Patent number: 11436268
    Abstract: The various embodiments describe multi-site cluster-based data intake and query systems, including cloud-based data intake and query systems. Using a hybrid search system that includes cloud-based data intake and query systems working in concert with so-called “on-premises” data intake and query systems can promote the scalability of search functionality. In addition, the hybrid search system can enable data isolation in a manner in which sensitive data is maintained “on premises” and information or data that is not sensitive can be moved to the cloud-based system. Further, the cloud-based system can enable efficient leveraging of data that may already exist in the cloud. In addition, various embodiments enable configuration data associated with search functionality to be shared amongst clusters in a manner that promotes cluster security.

  • Patent number: 11436226
    Abstract: A group of nodes corresponding to respective pieces of data included in a second data-set are identified from nodes in a first data-set described based on ontologies each defining a link referencing a node in the first data-set. A determination is made, on a path following links in the first data-set from each of the group of nodes, whether there is an association between a first ontology of a first link referencing a source node and a second ontology of a second link referencing a destination node. A common node, at which a first path from a first node and a second path from a second node intersect, is searched for by tracing links between the source node and the destination node based on a result of the determination, and a search result representing the common node, the first node, and the second node is output.

  • Patent number: 11431769
    Abstract: Systems and methods initialize distributed client device membership for new client devices joining a group-based communication channel established for content exchange among a plurality of distributed client device members. The systems and methods comprise aspects for executing a content analysis over the content of the one or more group-based communication channels to identify characterizing terms associated with each group-based communication channel. After the content analysis is performed, systems receive search parameters from a potential new member client device for a group-based communication server. Various systems and methods provide selected search results generated based at least in part on a determination that characterizing terms match one or more of the search parameters to the client device. Those selected results comprise a target that is executable by the client device to join the associated group-based communication channel.

  • Patent number: 11423020
    Abstract: A method of efficiently extracting large data sets from a database includes receiving a query to be executed on a first view of one or more data sources, where previous result sets resulting from previous queries are stored separately from the one or more data sources. The method also includes receiving a current result set from the one or more data sources that is responsive to the query, where the query is reformatted before it is executed such that the result set does not overlap with the previous result sets. The method additionally includes generating a second view that combines the current result set and the one or more previous result sets, where the second view resolves changes in a schema of the one or data sources between when the previous result sets were received and when the current result set is received.

  • Patent number: 11416532
    Abstract: A method of identifying relevant keywords from a document is disclosed. The method includes splitting text of the document into a plurality of keyword samples, such that each of the plurality of keyword samples comprises a predefined number of keywords extracted in a sequence. Further, each pair of adjacent keyword samples in the plurality of samples includes a plurality of common words. The method further includes determining a relevancy score for each of the plurality of keyword samples based on at least one of a trained Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model and a keyword repository. The method further includes classifying keywords from each of the plurality of keyword samples as relevant keywords or non-relevant keywords based on the relevancy score determined for each of the plurality of keyword samples.

  • Patent number: 11409700
    Abstract: Techniques involve: in response to a first session for asynchronous snapshot replication being established between a first source device and a destination device, determining whether the first source device and the destination device have a common baseline snapshot. Such techniques further involve: in response to determining absence of the baseline snapshot, determining whether initial synchronization from a second source device to the destination device is completed. Such techniques further involve: replicating, based on a result of the determining, at least one user snapshot at the first source device to the destination device. Accordingly, duplicated user snapshots at the destination device are significantly reduced. The snapshot management and space utilization of the destination device are also improved.
