  • Publication number: 20150134624
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for content item purging functionality are provided. A contact item purger, such as may be incorporated within a local client application of a content management system, leverages its knowledge as to which items have been uploaded to the content management system, and how long content items have been stored on the user device, to propose items for local deletion and thus reclaiming storage on the user device. A contact item purger may run on one or more devices of a user associated with an account on a content management system upon various triggering events, and may run with or without user interaction, thus maintaining available user device memory capacity at all times.

  • Patent number: 8943027
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for content item purging are provided. A contact item purger, such as may be incorporated within a local client application of a content management system running on a user device, may leverage knowledge as to which items have been uploaded to the content management system, and how long such content items have been stored on the user device, to propose items for deletion from the user device so as to reclaim storage space. A contact item purger may run on one or more user devices, and may activate upon various triggering events, based on various conditions and parameters, with or without user interaction, thus maintaining available memory capacity at all times.

  • Patent number: 8204280
    Abstract: The pairing of members in the online community based on at least physical preferences and displaying to a person advertisements depicting people whom that specific person is attracted are provided.

For example, profiles of people who look similar to other people that the member has indicated to be attractive can be provided to the member. Additionally, using mutual attraction criteria, the invention can answer the age old ‘Does she/he even like me?’ question before users even sit down on the first date, thus enabling users to enjoy high quality and compatible dates knowing the feeling of attraction is mutual. The face similarity technology can also be used to provide advertisements depicting people that a person finds attractive.
