  • Patent number: 10936275
    Abstract: A system and method include presentation of a plurality of virtual objects to a first user, reception, from the first user, of a command to associate a voice annotation with one of the plurality of virtual objects, reception of audio signals of a first voice annotation from the first user, and storage the received audio signals in association with metadata indicating the first user and the one of the plurality of virtual objects.

  • Patent number: 10505996
    Abstract: A system to identify and leverage geographically proximate client devices to reduce network traffic associated with facilitating digital collaboration sessions in a real-world environment. Embodiments enable a user to initiate a digital collaboration session and to limit participation in the digital collaboration session to client devices that are physically located within a geofence (e.g., a virtual geographic boundary). Other client devices that are located within the geofence are identified and enabled to join the digital collaboration session. participants may each use their own client device to contribute to the digital collaboration session. Participants can save individual segments of the digital collaboration session by indicating an interest immediately after the segments occur. Client devices then upload data for the segment for enhancement.

  • Publication number: 20180268054
    Abstract: A playlist engine is provided that selects content items for a partial playlist. The content items may include audio content items (i.e., tracks or songs). In one implementation, a user provides a request to expand a partial playlist. The request may include the partial playlist and an indication of the number of additional content items that the user would like to add to the partial playlist. The playlist engine may select one or more attributes from the content items in the partial playlist, and may use the selected one or more attributes to determine additional content items that are relevant to the selected one or more attributes. The playlist engine may add the additional content items to the partial playlist.

  • Patent number: 7761591
    Abstract: Client-specified methods, systems and computer program product with multi-protocol access for data input requests designed around a client's business application. It does this by interfacing IVR/telephony programming of multiple communication device protocols to separate data source input protocol programming, including remoting programming. Data input is by selected IVR/telephony responses designed around the needs of the individual client through selection process within a variety of configuration templates. The templates are designed to interface with the business applications through programming procedures for data entry specific to each application's protocol. The advantage, templates reduce user/client's interface with the business applications resulting in minimal time and knowledge of each applications data requirements, and limits each user's access to the system to specific data input. System response for data output is limited to the requested input for error reduction.

  • Publication number: 20070143398
    Abstract: A multi-component system for linking remote uses to a central work-product management system includes central processing device, central storage device, and a selection of different remote access devices and associated central system interface means for remote user to collaborate with central system licensee-owner work-product computer applications. The central storage device stores licensee-owner specific central application software associated with, licensee-owner specific data, and file and data management programs and the associated interface means allowing access to licensee-owner account by custom remote user specific applications The multi-component system for linking a remote user to a licensee-owner central work-product management system and devices are connected by the implementation of custom remote user specific interface applications which communicates with remote user devices, referred to herein as user process ledger modules, or UPLMs.
