Patent number: 7865545Abstract: 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 28, 1999Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Julio Estrada, Miguel A.

Patent number: 7222291Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: December 29, 2000Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Julio Estrada, Maurice B.

Method and system for designing a theme and associating it with a collaboration space user interface
Patent number: 7028262Abstract: A theme is defined and associated with a collaboration space user interface. The theme includes a predetermined set of files including a cascading style sheet and a predetermined set of layout files, with a layout file for each of a plurality of view modes of operation. Bach layout file specifies content and layout of a plurality of skin components including logo, table of contents, action bar, tool bar, and page content skin components. The set of layout files contains five layout tiles for page view mode layout, list folder view layout, headline folder view layout, slide show layout, and page edit mode. The cascading style sheet includes a common style sheet and a skin style sheet, with the common style sheet specifying font, size and color style for page content skin components common to each view mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2000Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Julio Estrada, Miguel A.
