Patent number: 7421659Abstract: Collaboration space object model provides for a Place consisting of rooms. A room is made up of pages. Folders are used to organize pages. Members belong to rooms, and are those users authorized to access them. Place type controls the creation of a place, including how many rooms it has, for example. Room type controls the appearance and content of rooms. A form manages the display of data notes. A form can contain fields for containing data and employ scripts to process and compute data. A page is the basic vehicle for content. Content is created using an or importing content from an external source. A member is also a data note, and each place contains its own member directory. A place is created and managed from a client browser in on-line mode and in offline mode with respect to a replicated copy of the space. Room security is independently managed, and security and aesthetics characteristics of subrooms selectively inherited.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2002Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Julio Estrada, Miguel A.

Publication number: 20080040126Abstract: Associating communication objects based on the content of the communication objects using social category tags. Communication objects are collected for a user. Each communication object has a type describing characteristics of each said communication object. An instruction is received from the user for assigning a social category tag to each one of the collected communication objects. A subset of the collected communication objects is associated based on their assigned tags. The associated subset of communication objects is presented to the user such that more than one type of communication objects is included in the subset.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2006Publication date: February 14, 2008Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Julio Estrada, Alexis Campailla

Publication number: 20070288501Abstract: Collaboration space object model provides for a place consisting of rooms created by users interacting with a client browser. A skin (i.e., theme) may be used as template for creating places. PlaceBots (i.e., agents) provide for accessing, processing and managing data in a place. HTML may be dragged and dropped into a place, where it is parsed and corresponding place fields created. MS Excel or Word documents may be dragged and dropped into a place, which creates a corresponding form, and users may create new documents using that form. A place type comprising a template of an entire place, or collaboration space, may be used to create new places. Changes made to a place may be reported, subject to security controls, by selecting what's new. Task fields are provided allowing web browser creation of forms for work flow. Place enabled objects are provided for synchronous communications. A quick browse feature provides a simplified format for browser windows based on selection of HTML links.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventors: Julio Estrada, Maurice Shore

Patent number: 7117271Abstract: A client/server network enables access to non-HTML objects from a web browser. The system includes a database for storing non-HTML files. A system user requests a non-HTML file from a database using a web browser. The web browser transmits the request to a server via a HTTP server and module. The server locates and retrieves the object requested. The module translates the object to a format supported by the web browser. The HTTP server communicates the translated file to the web browser over a network. The web browser then presents the translated file to the system user.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2001Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: Internatioal Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Haverstock, Miguel Estrada, Julio Estrada
