  • Patent number: 10373096
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for automatically caching and sending electronic signatures is provided. The method includes storing, by a mobile device, a digital signature, wherein the digital signature is associated with information relating to an expected delivery at an expected location, and wherein the mobile device is located within a proximity of the expected location. The method further includes detecting, by the mobile device, that a delivery service has arrived at the expected location with a package. The method further includes, in response to determining, by the mobile device, that the package corresponds to the expected delivery, authorizing, by the mobile device, the package to be left at the expected location by transmitting the digital signature to a delivery device associated with the delivery service.

  • Patent number: 10242121
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention includes systems and methods for grouping into a visual container open browser tabs based on an analysis of uniform resource locators, content, or other information relating to the plurality of open browser tabs. The analysis may include calculating a similarity score. Based on a comparison of the similarity score to one or more thresholds, a visual container is provided displaying groups of tiles corresponding to each of the pages open in the browser tabs. The visual container may be formatted as a set of browser tabs, each containing active tiles for each web page of a particular group. The visual container may be a screen showing piles of tiles, each pile corresponding to a particular group.

  • Patent number: 9967358
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for collaborative caching of files during a collaboration session includes receiving a request from a first electronic device for a first file. The method determines whether the first file is stored in one or more caches, wherein the one or more caches are associated with one or more electronic devices. Responsive to determining the first file is stored in a cache of a second electronic device, the method determines whether the first file stored in the cache of the second electronic device meets a set of guidelines. Responsive to determining the first file stored in the cache of the second electronic device meets the set of guidelines, the method sends the first file from the cache of the second electronic device via an internal network to the first electronic device.
