  • Patent number: 11194957
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for representing a portion of a user interface of a web browser as a web address. In some implementations, a computing device receives a request to encode as a web address a portion of a user interface provided in a web browser at the computing device. The computing device then generates a web address to identify content of the portion of the user interface. The portion of the user interface represented by the web address includes a primary user interface component and one or more secondary user interface components associated with the primary user interface component.

  • Patent number: 11099859
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for enabling and/or configuring cloud-based application. In an embodiment, a cloud system provides a cloud-based computing platform accessible by user input devices to perform cloud-based computing. The cloud system also includes an application exchange, allowing user input devices to select other cloud-based applications and/or software to enable and use with the cloud-based computing platform. The cloud-based application may be hosted by a third party cloud system that enables the functionality of the cloud-based application. When a user input device selects a cloud-based application to enable, cloud system generates an installation and configuration process to seamlessly install and configure the cloud-based application within the cloud-based computing platform. In this manner, the cloud system integrates the configuration process into the cloud-based computing platform.

  • Patent number: 11042270
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for facilitating the presentation of a personalized user history component in a graphical user interface (GUI), where the history component identifies primary tabs and associated sub-tabs that have been recently accessed by the user. Upon selection of one of the primary tabs, information pertaining to data records associated with the selected primary tab is presented using a link that includes identifiers of the selected primary tab and associated sub-tabs. The link may be saved or shared, enabling the primary tab and associated sub-tabs to be accessed by the user or another user.

  • Patent number: 10958535
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for interfacing with a phone system in an on-demand service environment. In one embodiment, a client machine is in communication with a data provider and the phone system. The phone system is operated by a phone provider separate from the data provider. A message is received at the client machine from the phone system. The message includes information regarding a phone event in relation to a phone call. The phone event information is provided in a first part of a user interface in a web browser on the client machine. A second part of the user interface is capable of displaying information received at the client machine from the data provider. The first part of the user interface and the second part of the user interface are adapted to communicate with one another. For example, the first part of the user interface is adapted to send a message including the phone event information to the second part of the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10872198
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for rearranging content within resized sub-regions of a web page. First, resizing of a first sub-region of the webpage is detected by a user dragging a slidable border of the sub-region. A span value associated with dimensions of the first resized sub-region is determined and defining minimum dimensions of the first resized sub-region are defined. A subset of the dimensions of the first resized sub-region that fit within the span value is defined based on the minimum dimensions of the resized sub-region. The dimensions of the first resized sub-region include a fixed parameter and a dynamic parameter. The contents of a second sub-region of the webpage are rearranged in response to the resizing of the first resized sub-region and displaying displayed.
