Patent number: 11902298Abstract: A method for an electronic device for managing one or more browsing tabs of a browsing sessions is provided. The method receives a request for a browsing tab. The method determines whether to process the request for the browsing tab locally on the electronic device based on one or more parameters associated with at least one of the electronic device or a destination associated with the request. When it is determined to process the request locally, the method performs the browsing tab locally on the electronic device. However, when it is determined not to process the request locally, the method sends the request for the browsing tab to a remote server to perform the browsing tab remotely on the remote server.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Rohit Pradeep Shetty, Sharun Varghese Samuel, Neelima Bojja, Erich Peter Stuntebeck, Subramanian Kathiresan

Patent number: 11886602Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for sharing uniform resource locators (URLs) and enforcing browser restrictions along with a shared URL. Browser restrictions can be identified by appending commands to the shared URL that instruct the receiving browser to activate certain browser restrictions. Browser restrictions can also be enforced using a URL restriction validator, which is a server process that can facilitate enforcement of browser restrictions along with a shared URL.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Rohit Pradeep Shetty, Sharun Varghese Samuel, Erich Peter Stuntebeck, Ramani Panchapakesan, Craig Farley Newell

Patent number: 11830098Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for audio data leak prevention using user and device contexts. In some examples, a voice assistant device can be connected to a remote service that provides enterprise data to be audibly emitted by the voice assistant device. In response to a request for the enterprise data being received from the voice assistant device, an audio signal can be generated that audibly broadcasts the enterprise data. The audio signal can be generated to audibly redact at least a portion of the enterprise data based at least in part on a mode of operation of the voice assistant device. The voice assistant device can be directed to emit the enterprise data through a playback of the audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Rohit Pradeep Shetty, Erich Peter Stuntebeck, Ramani Panchapakesan, Suman Aluvala, Chaoting Xuan

Patent number: 11805182Abstract: A first server can generate user profiles and receive requests from user devices for enrollment in a first server-managed system that includes user groups. The first server can provide a unique key to a user device during an enrolment process based on a user group the user device is assigned to. The first server can include an enrollment notification for the user device in a first notification transmitted to a messaging service. The messaging service can transmit a second notification to the user device, and the user device can request a user profile from a second server based on second server access information included in the second notification. The second server can use the unique key to access user profile information which it transmits to the user device based on the request. The user device can access the user profile from the profile information using the unique key.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Suman Aluvala, Ramani Panchapakesan, Pushkal Maheshwari, Mahesh Ashok Kavatage, Pavan Rajkumar Rangain, Erich Peter Stuntebeck

Patent number: 11721116Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that relate to a system or a method for managing individual actions. In one example, among others, a system includes a client device that is configured to display a camera user interface for capturing an image and identify an action that stores the image captured in the memory. An image tag that describes the image is generated. The client device is configured to determine that the image has enterprise content based on the image tag and determine an enterprise policy to apply to the enterprise content. Text content from the image is extracted based on the enterprise policy. The client device is configured to display a user interface that includes the text content extracted from the image and transmit the text content of the image to an application based on the enterprise policy.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Kar-Fai Tse, Erich Peter Stuntebeck, Chaoting Xuan

Patent number: 11503150Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for restricting usage of a mobile device when a user is driving a vehicle. In one embodiment, it is determined that a mobile device is in use by a driver of an active vehicle. A functionality of the mobile device is then restricted based at least in part on determining that the mobile device is in use by the driver of the active vehicle. For example, a touch screen of the mobile device may be disabled, and the use of a hands-free interface may be made mandatory.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: AirWatch LLCInventors: Erich Peter Stuntebeck, Kar Fai Tse, Chen Lu

Patent number: 11451588Abstract: Various examples are disclosed for exchanging and acting on detected security events using permissioned blockchain. A unique identifier for a client device is obtained in response to a detected security event being identified. Security event data associated with the detected security event is sent to a plurality of nodes of a blockchain service, where the nodes are associated with a respective one of a plurality of computer security services and are configured to validate the security event data and endorse the security event data in response to predetermined criteria being satisfied. In response to the security event data being validated by the nodes, the security event data is published into the blockchain service as a block that is broadcasted to the nodes, where individual ones of the nodes are configured to store the security event data of the block in a local ledger.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Rohit Pradeep Shetty, Pon Venkatesh M, Sheetal Deenadayalan, Pushkal Maheshwari, Erich Peter Stuntebeck

Patent number: 11301710Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that relate to a system or a method for managing individual actions. In one example, among others, a system includes a client device and program instructions executable in the client device. The program instructions, when executed, cause the client device to identify an action that stores an image in a memory associated with the client device, where the action is executed by way of the client computing device. The program instructions also cause the client device to generate an image tag that describe the image. The client device can determine that the image has enterprise content based on the image tag and determine that a policy applies to the enterprise content. An enterprise action can be performed based on the enterprise policy.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Kar-Fai Tse, Erich Peter Stuntebeck, Chaoting Xuan

Patent number: 11263392Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing user-specific previews for terms within text. An example method can include receiving tracked user behavior reflecting terms selected by a user and entered into a search. A representation of known words can be created based on the tracked user behavior. By training machine-learning models for each individual user, personalized previews can be presented when each user encounters a new body of text, such as in a webpage or email. The preview can apply to a term not previously known to the user but likely to be searched by the user, relying on content gathered from a search on a search medium that the user was likely to use. The content can be presented to the user in a graphical user interface allowing for interaction and feedback.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Rohit Pradeep Shetty, Erich Peter Stuntebeck
