  • Patent number: 10885060
    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing access and synchronization of one or more files of a document management system stored locally at a client device. The techniques may include receiving, by a document management system executing on a server device, a file update notification message from a first client device to notify the document management system that a file was modified by the first client device. The file update notification message may include an indication of the modified file on the first client device without including the modified file. The document management system may receive a file editing request from a second client device to request the file. In response, the document management system may send a file upload request to the first client device, receive the modified file from the first client device, and send the modified file to the second client device.

  • Publication number: 20160072744
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for automatic sharing of message attachments across multiple systems. A message that identifies message recipients by their target addresses and includes an attachment is received. Each of the target addresses is mapped to one or more common file servers. It is determined which of the one or more common file servers is to be used for each of the message recipients by grouping message recipients that use a same common file server. For each of the grouped message recipients, a modified message is created by creating copy of the message that adds an attachment link for use in accessing the attachment from the same common file server.

  • Patent number: 9104848
    Abstract: An un-authenticated user attempts to access a protected resource at a Web- or cloud-based application from within a rich client. The client has an associated local HTTP server. Upon being refused access, a browser-based login dialog is opened automatically within an embedded browser panel. After receipt of the user's login credential in the panel, the browser passes the credential server application. If the user is authenticated, the browser-based dialog receives a cookie establishing that the user is authenticated for a session. The browser then automatically makes a request to the HTTP server, passing the cookie. Upon receipt of the request at the rich client HTTP server, the rich client saves the cookie in an associated data store, shuts down the login dialog, and re-issues the original request to the server, this time passing the cookie. The rich client, having provided the cookie, is then permitted to access the resource.

  • Patent number: 8863248
    Abstract: A technique for automated login to a browser application from a non-browser based client application begins upon the end user taking an action to access a target resource. A credential is associated with the client application as a result of a prior login operation. The technique is implemented in a server application associated with the client application. It enables automatic and secure passing of the client application credential to the counterpart browser application that is launched by the client application.

    Abstract: A technique for automated login to a browser application from an authenticated client application begins upon the end user taking an action to access a target resource. A credential is associated with the client application as a result of a prior login operation. The technique is implemented in a server application associated with the client application. In response to the end user taking the action, the server application receives a first request that includes the credential. The credential is cached at a location identified by a one-time-key that is generated by at the server in response to receipt of the first request. The server application then returns a response to the first request that includes a data string (e.g., a URL-template) that includes the one-time-use key. Upon receipt of that response, the client application fills in the URL-template with the target resource URL and launches the browser.

  • Patent number: 6970907
    Abstract: A system and method for reformatting chain forwarded and chain replied electronic messages into thread-of-discussion messages for improved readability and reader comprehension. The chained electronic messages are parsed into discussion entries which are then sorted by a preferred order, such as last-to-first by date of creation. Extraneous fields and data which are not part of the substantive discussion are removed from the discussion entries. Long or full electronic mail addresses are replaced by abbreviations or preferred nicknames which may be found in an address book. Finally, the sorted discussion entries with source abbreviations or preferred nicknames are combined and output as a thread-of-discussion format message.

  • Patent number: 6959324
    Abstract: A dead e-mail identification locator discovers dead e-mail addresses without forwarding messages to valid recipients. Existing headers in the mail protocol are extended to include a test header. A mail server that supports the protocol extension of the present invention may send a reply if the address does not exist and may discard the message if the address does exist. The test header allows a sender to test an e-mail address for validity without the message being forwarded to the user, as will be described below. The sender may be a dead e-mail locator program, which tests a plurality of e-mail addresses. The sender and recipient mail servers may include attributes in the test header to enhance the analysis of delivery failures. Using these attributes, the dead e-mail address locator can pinpoint the location of e-mail message delivery failure and profile the performance of routing of messages and other details hidden from users.

  • Patent number: 6823368
    Abstract: An enhanced e-mail reader and composer having automatic addressing functions to extract addresses and information regarding previous recipients of chain-forwarded electronic messages and e-mail, and having automatic addressing of new electronic messages in reply to all or some of those previous recipients. The enhanced e-mail reader is also capable of automatically adding these previous recipients to an electronic address book. An enhanced e-mail composer provides an enhanced electronic message header which indicates a chain of addresses for previous recipients of a chain-forwarded message, and interoperates with the enhanced e-mail reader.
