  • Publication number: 20200242708
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of apparatus, methods, and computer readable storage media for informing one or more users of social network data such as group data when the data is relevant to the user(s). For example, when one or more keywords are identified as being associated with both a group of an online social network and the user, a communication with information identifying the group data can be generated and provided to a display device accessible by the user. In another example, social network data is associated with an entity of the online social network, and the entity is not being followed by the user. Social network data identified as related to one or more keywords can be provided to a display device in a suitable presentation accessible by the user.

  • Patent number: 8898582
    Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring a UI display layout for displaying record fields in a multi-tenant on-demand database service. A data record is initially displayed on a first portion of a user interface display, and an identification of a set of one or more fields of the data record is received, e.g., from a user. A selection of a display configuration for the set of identified fields is also received, e.g., from a user. The display configuration may include one or more columns, each column having one or more rows, wherein the display configuration identifies, for each of the set of fields, in which column and row the field is to be displayed. Data for the set of fields based on the selected display configuration is then displayed on a second portion of the user interface display which may include a collapsible display panel.

  • Patent number: 8589946
    Abstract: A method for preventing a browser timeout resulting from multiple requests sent from a client to a server is provided. In response to receiving a request from the client, an application thread is initialized on the server for submitting data to the client. The application thread is observed using a daemon observation thread. If a loading time of the application thread exceeds a timeout, the application thread is terminated. In response to terminating the application thread, an empty response is sent to the client. In response to receiving the empty response to the client, a determination is made whether to make an additional request to the server.

  • Patent number: 7796973
    Abstract: A method and system for monitoring calls being made from a cellular phone and preventing calls being made to unauthorized numbers, as defined by the owner of the cellular phone. A security challenge is issued to a cell phone user when a suspicious, previously unknown telephone number is attempted to be called. Approved/safe numbers and/or area codes are stored within the phone and/or in a subscriber's account accessible and updated via the Internet. If the user is unable to provide the correct security code in response to the challenge, the user is prevented from making the call to the particular number.

  • Publication number: 20100223667
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for start-up authentication. A prompt module prompts for a hardware password and authentication data on a single display screen. The authentication data comprises a user password. The user password is distinct from the hardware password. A store module stores the authentication data in a target storage space. In addition, the store module stores a pointer to the target storage space in a system register. A retrieve module retrieves the authentication data from the target storage space using the pointer. An authentication module automatically authenticates a user with the authentication data.
