  • Publication number: 20140189061
    Abstract: A content management server that uploads files from a mobile device to a cloud-based storage location based on a battery level associated with the mobile device. The content management system receives mobile device operating information and regulates the upload of files based on the mobile device operating information. In various embodiments, the mobile device operating information includes battery information. If the mobile device battery level drops below a first predetermined level, the content management system regulates the upload of files. Once the upload of files is regulated, the content management system continues to monitor the mobile device operating information. If the content management system determines that the mobile device battery level exceeds a second predetermined level, the content management system resumes the file upload process.

  • Publication number: 20140181053
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for analyzing the recorded interactions of users within a shared dataspace, where the shared dataspace is provided by an a synced online content management system. As each user adds and deletes files in the shared dataspace, the content management system can record each interaction. The content management system can then analyze the recorded interactions, creating collapsed summaries of the interactions, and generate notifications that can be presented to users. Various thresholds can be used to determine when the recorded interactions are condensed, and when notifications associated with those condensed interactions are presented to users.

  • Publication number: 20140181008
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for enhancing event summaries of synced online content management system interactions. Users can identify one or more of the collapsed events markers that have pointers to the original, uncondensed, event markers. Upon identifying the one or more collapsed event markers, users can add additional data, via the pointers, to the original, uncondensed, event markers that were used to generate the collapsed event marker. The content management system can then perform a new analysis of the shared dataspace, analyzing the event markers using pre-existing data and the newly added data to create additional collapsed event markers, modify previously generated collapsed event markers, or remove/replace collapsed event markers. These enriched collapsed event markers can then newly presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20140087709
    Abstract: A method of providing particular account configurations to a user of a mobile device based on a predetermined account configuration offering between a mobile device manufacturer and a third-party service provider based on a code stored on the mobile device. During the out-of-box experience (OOBE) when the user is initially configuring the mobile device, the third-party provider receives user information, a code, and a mobile device identification number. The third-party service provider confirms that the mobile device is eligible for the particular account configuration by using the code and mobile device identification number. Once account configuration eligibility is confirmed, the third-party service provider associates the particular account configuration with either an existing user account or with a new user account established during the OOBE.

  • Publication number: 20140089070
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting and accounting for the improper use of a deal code on a mobile device. When the user initially configures the mobile device, the third-party provider receives information from the mobile device that includes user information, mobile device information, a deal code associated with a third-party service, information about an application program preloaded on the mobile device associated with the service, and a hash value that is at least partially calculated based on the foregoing. The third-party service provider calculates a second hash value at least partially based on the received information and based on other predetermined information and compares the first hash value to the second hash value. Based on the comparison, the system determines if use of the deal code is improper and, if so, tracks the user and mobile device information to prevent improper use of the deal code.
