Patent number: 10803017Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for tracking local and remote file usage, and aggregating the resulting file usage statistics for presentation to a user. The operating system of a local computer can track and generate local file usage statistics, such as most recently used files and editing time. A Web application or service, such as an email or word processing application or service, can record the file usage data for a user's remote stored or served files. A file usage aggregator module, which can be located or resident in the operating system of the local computer or hosted at a Web site, can receive and combine the local and remote file usage statistics. The file usage aggregator module can generate a display of the aggregated file usage statistics, so that local and remote files are listed in a most-recently used order, on a combined basis.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Bryan William Clark, Robert Sanford Havoc Pennington, Colin Walters, Marina Zhurakhinskaya
