Patent number: 11966414Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a digital asset synchronization system that provides improved local and remote synchronization of digital assets. In particular, the digital asset synchronization system manages digital assets by separating each digital asset into multiple components stored as a set of distributed individual files. Employing individual components for a digital asset rather than single monolithic file enables the digital asset synchronization system to provide safe concurrent access to the digital asset from multiple applications on the same device and across different devices. In addition, using components for a digital asset provides the digital asset synchronization system with the ability to efficiently store and synchronize multiple versions of the digital asset, both locally and remotely.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Stanley J Switzer, Roey Horns, Oliver I Goldman, Julian R Wixson

Publication number: 20230244404Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a digital asset synchronization system that provides improved digital asset management and synchronization of a digital asset stored either within a component database or a packaged file. For example, the digital asset synchronization system enables a set of components that makes up a digital asset to appear as a singular packaged file, while also maintaining the benefits of having the digital asset made up of the components. In this manner, the digital asset synchronization system provides a bridge between a digital asset stored in a packaged file format and conventional file formats. In addition, the digital asset synchronization system also provides digital asset management and improved synchronization between a client device and a cloud storage system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Stanley J.

Patent number: 11687516Abstract: Using an action registry to edit data across users and devices is described. In one or more implementations, a user editing data in an application requests to share the data with another user or another device for further editing. Responsive simply to the request or based on an exchange of content transfer information, the data is communicated to the selected user or device. Using information maintained by an action registry, a list of applications capable of editing the data is presented to the selected user or via the selected device. Upon selection of an application from the list, the selected application is launched. Once changes are made to the data by the selected user or device, those changes can be saved and the changed data automatically returned to the original user and/or device. The changed data can then be automatically presented to the original user or on the original device.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Oliver I.

Patent number: 10936550Abstract: Two different representations of content are maintained, at least one of which is a composite representation of the content. The composite representation is multiple different components, each component stored as a separate file and each component including some of the data of the content. The composite representation also includes a manifest that identifies the various components. Different devices can edit the content, and access to the content is coordinated via a synchronization system. The synchronization system manages generation of one or more representations of the content. The synchronization system also manages synchronization of the different representations of the content, allowing changes made on various different computing devices to be reflected in the different representations of the content, and managing situations in which different computing devices may attempt to change the content concurrently.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Oliver I.

Publication number: 20170336924Abstract: Using an action registry to match applications for editing data is described. In one or more implementations, a user editing data in an application requests to be presented other applications that are also capable of editing the type of data. Based on this, a query is generated that requests the other applications from an action registry. The action registry maintains information describing the types of data different applications are capable of editing. With the maintained information, the action registry can determine which applications registered therewith are capable of performing actions on the type of data. At least some of these applications are included in a query answer from the action registry. The answer is usable to present the user a list of applications that are capable of also editing the type of data being edited in the application and are selectable from the list to perform further editing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2016Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Abraham M.
