  • Patent number: 12143434
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for smart upload automation in which actions are automatically performed on a set of digital assets against a target item. In one embodiment, a system includes a network, a server machine, a client machine and a data storage device, each of which is coupled to the network. The client machine designates digital assets and a target item against which the assets will be uploaded. The digital assets are uploaded by the client machine to the data storage device via the network. The server machine automatically performs actions on the digital assets without intervention by the client machine, where the actions are associated with or in some way defined by the target item. The actions may include setting metadata values of the digital assets based upon metadata associated with the target item, or generating different renditions of the digital assets.

  • Patent number: 10108731
    Abstract: At least one embodiment includes a system for managing objects. The system may be configured to provide a set of objects in a repository with associated metadata including workflow metadata and an application program interface. The system may determine a first region of interest in a graphical user interface, the first region of interest corresponding to a first time range. The system may retrieve metadata for a first set of objects having workflow metadata indicating at least one event will occur within the first time range, create a first set of nodes representing the first set objects, display the first set of nodes based on a time characteristic of the workflow metadata associated with the at least one event, and perform an action on a corresponding object from the first set of objects.

  • Patent number: 8452925
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing cached content are disclosed. More particularly, embodiments disclosed herein may allow cached content to be updated (e.g. regenerated or replaced) in response to a notification. Specifically, embodiments disclosed herein may process a notification pertaining to content stored in a cache. Processing the notification may include locating cached content associated with the notification. After the cached content which corresponds to the notification is found, an appropriate action may be taken. For example, the cached content may be flushed from the cache or a request may be regenerated. As a result of the action, new content is generated. This new content is then used to replace or update the cached content.
