  • Patent number: 10685043
    Abstract: A plurality of first event instances of a first event and a plurality of second event instances of a second event are received based on the first event occurring and the second event occurring. Each event instance has an event identifier and a timestamp. A first event type of the plurality of first event instances and a second event type of the plurality of second event instances are identified. A time period of overlap between the first event and the second event are determined by detecting regular intervals between the plurality of first event instances, as compared to each other, and the plurality of second event instances, as compared to each other. A relationship between the first event and the second event are scored based on the time period of overlap. The first event and the second event are grouped based on the scored relationship.

  • Patent number: 9619664
    Abstract: Systems and methods for handling electronic messages are provided. One method includes monitoring a message and recipients of the message, detecting a reference in the monitored message to an entity, obtaining an access control list for the detected entity, the access control list defining permitted access to the entity, identifying a recipient of the message who is not permitted to access the entity, and performing a predefined action in response to the identification of the non-permitted recipient. The predefined action includes one or more specific actions such as identifying an administrator for the access control list, generating a reporting message, and transmitting the reporting message to the administrator. The predefined action additionally or alternatively includes preventing the transmission of the message to the non-permitted recipient and/or providing an alert to the author of the message. One system includes a processor and memory storing code for performing the above method.

  • Publication number: 20090247224
    Abstract: A method of attaching a removable user interface (UI) input device to a mobile phone in a handedness-neutral manner is presented. The method includes incorporating a left-side module socket and a right-side module socket into a mobile phone, such that the left-side module socket is oriented on a left side of the mobile phone, the right-side module socket is oriented on a right side of the mobile phone, and the left-side module socket and the right-side module socket are each capable of electrically and physically coupling with a removable user interface (UI) input device. The UI input device is then selectively coupled to the left-side module socket or the right-side module socket according to a left or right handedness of a user of the mobile phone.
