  • Patent number: 9009115
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatic detection of data loss to system or a particular application. In one implementation a method is provided. The method includes identifying a loss of data associated with a current view. An alert is generated identifying the loss of data. A user is prompted to initiate a history view to restore the lost data, the history view including at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the current view.

  • Publication number: 20110087976
    Abstract: Systems and methods for storing and restoring backup data. One method includes receiving, while a current view of an application is displayed in a user interface, a first user input requesting a history view associated with the current view of the application. The history view is displayed in response to the first user input, the history view including at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the current view of the application, the earlier version including a first element. A second user input is received while the history view is displayed. The second user input requesting that the current view of the application be modified according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element. The current view of the application is modified in response to the second user input according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element.

  • Patent number: 7853567
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for resolving conflicts. In one implementation, a method relating to modifying a view in a user interface is provided. The method includes receiving, while a current view is displayed in a user interface, a first user input requesting that a history view associated with the current view be displayed. The history view is displayed in response to the first user input, the history view includes at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the current view, and the earlier version includes a first element. There is received, while the history view is displayed, a second user input requesting that the current view be modified according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element. The method further includes determining, in response to the second user input, whether the current view includes a current version of the first element.

  • Patent number: 7809687
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for searching. In one implementation, a method is provided. A current view of a search application is displayed in a user interface. The current view of the search application includes a search result including one or more elements. A first user input is received while the current view of a search application is displayed. The first user input requests that a history view associated with the current view of the search application be displayed. The history view includes search results based on a search of system data from an archive. The history view is displayed in response to the first user input, the history view including search results having a first item not present in the one or more elements.

  • Publication number: 20100236769
    Abstract: A climate control system is configured to provide at least one of heating and cooling of air in an occupied space of a vehicle. The system includes a thermal energy storage device configured to receive heat from a waste heat source in the vehicle and a heat exchanger coupled between the thermal energy storage device and the occupied space of the vehicle by a coolant loop. The second heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat from at least one of the thermal energy storage device to the occupied space of the vehicle and the occupied space in the vehicle to the thermal energy storage device.
