  • Patent number: 11442748
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ordering software applications in a computing environment. The methods involve: presenting user-selectable icons for launching a plurality of software applications in a graphical user interface in accordance with a first order; performing a machine-learning algorithm to determine a weighting value for each software application of the plurality of software applications based on information specifying at least one aspect of a software launch request and at least one aspect of a first user's current circumstance; determining a second order in which the user-selectable icons should be presented in the graphical user interface based on the weighting values determined for the software applications; and dynamically modifying the graphical user interface to present the user-selectable icons in the second order which is different from the first order.

  • Patent number: 11403412
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide access to encrypted user data at a multi-tenant hosted cloud service. The cloud service enrolls a first tenant in the cloud service. The cloud service receives a request for a ticket for a user of the first tenant to access the cloud service. The cloud service communicates a user data access ticket for the user to access a user data service of the cloud service. The cloud service receives a request to store user data of the user. The request includes encrypted user data. The cloud service stores the encrypted user data. The cloud service may provide the encrypted user data to a computing device of the user after validating the user data access ticket received from the computing device. The computing device may decrypt the encrypted user data and identify the data of the user for resources provided by server(s).
