  • Patent number: 10691877
    Abstract: Organizations maintain and generate large amounts of documentation and entities of these organizations often need to collaborate on generating and reviewing this information. There is a need to maintain and store this documentation remotely in such a way that the entities of these organizations may collaborate with each other. To ensure that entities of the organization can collaborate on documents, an overlay creation and storage system is described. The overlay may be usable by a computing device operated by the entities of the organization. Furthermore, information contained in the overlay may be injected into the document.

  • Patent number: 10599753
    Abstract: Organizations maintain and generate large amounts of documentation and entities of these organizations often need to collaborate on generating and reviewing this information. There is a need to maintain and store this documentation remotely in such a way that the entities of these organizations may collaborate with each other. To ensure that information is handled effectively, new versions are created for documents uploaded to a service provider by entities of the organization. The documents are processed in such a way that the documents are displayed uniformly across a variety of devices.

  • Patent number: 10567382
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access to documents retained by a document management and collaboration system is disclosed. The document management and collaboration system may generate one or more suggested privileges associated with one or more users. An access control policy may specify whether system-generated user privileges may be enforced. If they are enforced, access to one or more document may be made subject to the generated privileges.

  • Patent number: 10540404
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a collection of documents is disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a plurality of documents are identified for inclusion in a document collection. The documents are identified based at least in part on one or more attributes of at least one document of the plurality of documents. A user is requested to confirm the document collection, and an instruction is received from the user indicating one or more documents of the plurality of documents may be included in the document collection. After the indication is received, the collection may be formed and made available to the user or one or more other users of a document management and collaboration system.

  • Patent number: 10482067
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing shared folders and files within a remote and local file system includes determining a remote and local file system state. The remote file system state includes remote hash values for remote instances of shared folders, shared sub-folders, shared files, shared sub-level files, and shared shortcuts. The local file system state includes a local hash values for local instances of shared folders, shared sub-folders, shared files, shared sub-level files, and shared shortcuts. The method also includes comparing the remote file system state and the local file system state to determine any differences in the hash values within the remote file system state and the local file system state and synchronizing any shared folder, shared sub-folder, or shared file having a differing value in the remote file system state and the local file system state across the local file system and the remote file system.

  • Patent number: 10447610
    Abstract: Techniques for connecting computer system entities to remotely located computer system resources by redirecting locators are described herein. A computer system entity that requests access to a computer system resource may first obtain an identifier for that resource and, based on the identifier, may determine the region for that resource. A routing service then resolves the locator to locate a content management system that stores executable scripts that provide access to the computer system resources by redirecting the locator. The location of the executable scripts is based at least in part on the processing of the locator by the content management system.

  • Patent number: 10122998
    Abstract: A Holocam Orb system uses multiple Holocam Orbs (Orbs) within a real-life environment to generate an artificial reality representation of the real-life environment in real time. Each Orb is an electronic and software unit that includes a local logic module, a local CPU and multiple synchronous and asynchronous sensors, include stereo cameras, time-of-flight sensors, inertial measurement units and a microphone array. Each Orb synchronizes itself to a common master clock, and packages its asynchrony data into data bundles whose timings are matched to frame timing of synchronous sensors, and all gathered data bundles and data frames are given a time stamp using a reference clock common to all Orbs. The overlapping sensor data from all the Orbs is combined to create the artificial reality representation.
