  • Patent number: 11632347
    Abstract: Systems herein supply hero cards that display contextual information and actions based on backend systems. The information and actions are related to a trigger content item in an application that does not have access to the backend systems. A hero agent running a user device can communicate the trigger content to a hero server. The hero server can determine which connectors to backend systems relate to the user device, and then can retrieve result information from one or more of the backend systems. The result information populates the hero card, which the hero agent displays within the application. Action buttons on the hero card cause the hero agent to contact one or more of the backend systems to cause an action to take place there.

  • Patent number: 11588904
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for management of contextual notifications on user devices. Entities can be categorized as VIP status based on scoring profiles sent from a management server to the user device. Applications on the user device can implement an SDK that reads the profiles and sets certain actions to boost scores and others to reduce scores. These local VIP scores can be sent periodically from the user device to the management server. The management server can use them in conjunction with global VIP scores for the same entities to create aggregated VIP information. This can be sent back to the user device, allowing the user device to then visualize different notifications or workflows based on whether an entity's aggregated VIP information exceeds one or more thresholds.

  • Patent number: 11556957
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium to increase product usage. In some examples, a request to assign a task to a selected user is received. The selected user as a non-user of the task service. In response, task information and an identification of the task service is appended to an electronic document. Once the selected user has subscribed to the task service, the selected user is assigned to the task within the task service.

The information and actions are related to a trigger content item in an application that does not have access to the backend systems. A hero agent running a user device can communicate the trigger content to a hero server. The hero server can determine which connectors to backend systems relate to the user device, and then can retrieve result information from one or more of the backend systems. The result information populates the hero card, which the hero agent displays within the application. Action buttons on the hero card cause the hero agent to contact one or more of the backend systems to cause an action to take place there.
