  • Patent number: 11362971
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for sharing resources between users. In an implementation, a method may include receiving a sharing request for a resource from a requesting participant of a collaborative session. The method may also include receiving a sharing authorization from a sharing participant of the collaborative session. The method may further include simultaneously downloading the resource from a resource location by a computing device associated with the sharing participant and uploading the resource to the requesting participant by the computing device associated with the sharing participant.

  • Patent number: 11022453
    Abstract: Recommended route change verification via a navigation system. The navigation system receives a destination from a user and then determines an initial route to the destination. While navigating along the initial route, the navigation system can determine a route change to the destination. Also, a convergence point is determined along where the initial route and the first route change converge. In order to verify that the route change is faster than continuing along the initial route, a first group of users utilizing the navigation system are routed along the initial route to the convergence point and a second group of other users are routed along the first route change to the convergence point. If more of the first group of users pass the convergence point before the second group of users, then the route change is recommended to the user rather than continuing along the initial route.

  • Patent number: 10795529
    Abstract: A screen sharing session between a participating computer and a presenting computer can be established. A copy of a graphical user interface screen from the presenting computer can be presented within a display on the participating computer. A selection of the sub-portion of the copy of the graphical user interface screen from the participating computer can be received. Boundaries of the sub-portion can be determined and can be transmitted from the participating computer to the presenting computer. Responsive to receiving the boundaries, the remotely located computer can define the sub-portion of the graphical user interface screen of the presenting computer. The defined sub-portion of the graphical user interface screen can be conveyed over a network from the presenting computer to the participating computer without conveying data for other portions of the graphical user interface screen.

  • Publication number: 20200143821
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for protecting sensitive information are disclosed. Aspects include receiving a request from a first user to listen to a recording and obtaining the recording the recording comprising an audio track and an identification of one or more participants in the audio track. Based on a determination that the first user is one of the one or more participants in the audio track, aspects include playing the audio track in an original format. Based on a determination that the first user is not one of the one or more participants in the audio track, aspects include playing the audio track in a modified format.

  • Patent number: 10567257
    Abstract: A method for bandwidth-sensitive content sharing can begin with the establishment of a content sharing session between two or more end-user devices by a bandwidth-sensitive content sharing system. At least one of the two or more end-user devices can be a mobile device having a network constraint and/or a data usage constraint. A bandwidth limitation can be determined for the mobile device from network connection data and user data. The bandwidth limitation can indicate a restriction to content sections of a content item the mobile device is to receive during the content sharing session. The content item shared with the mobile device can be filtered based upon a priority value for each content section of the content item. A content section can be an identifiable and discrete encapsulation of data within the content item. The filtered content item can satisfy the bandwidth limitation of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10373096
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for automatically caching and sending electronic signatures is provided. The method includes storing, by a mobile device, a digital signature, wherein the digital signature is associated with information relating to an expected delivery at an expected location, and wherein the mobile device is located within a proximity of the expected location. The method further includes detecting, by the mobile device, that a delivery service has arrived at the expected location with a package. The method further includes, in response to determining, by the mobile device, that the package corresponds to the expected delivery, authorizing, by the mobile device, the package to be left at the expected location by transmitting the digital signature to a delivery device associated with the delivery service.

  • Patent number: 9967358
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for collaborative caching of files during a collaboration session includes receiving a request from a first electronic device for a first file. The method determines whether the first file is stored in one or more caches, wherein the one or more caches are associated with one or more electronic devices. Responsive to determining the first file is stored in a cache of a second electronic device, the method determines whether the first file stored in the cache of the second electronic device meets a set of guidelines. Responsive to determining the first file stored in the cache of the second electronic device meets the set of guidelines, the method sends the first file from the cache of the second electronic device via an internal network to the first electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9727444
    Abstract: A debugging module determines by analysis of code build information of a system with an identified error, where to set a debug entry point at which to start execution of the system during a program subset debug session. Debug entry point metadata for the program subset debug session is captured in association with a subsequent execution of the system. The captured debug entry point metadata includes an initial file state of at least one file accessed by the system, any file inputs and file outputs (I/Os) detected as being performed by the system during the subsequent execution of the system up to the debug entry point, and an image of all instantiated objects at the debug entry point.

  • Patent number: 9635180
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to call center wait queue management and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for call-back reservation services in a remote call center computing environment. In an embodiment of the invention, a call-back reservation method can be provided. The method can include receiving a telephone call to a remote call center from a caller, informing the caller of a reservation options menu, calculating multiple reservation time-slots to accommodate the caller's schedule, such that the reservation time is based on caller's personal preference, assigning a call-back reservation token to the caller, disconnecting the caller from the remote call center, and providing the caller with access to a remote call center agent at the reservation time when the caller reconnects to the remote call center.
