Patent number: 6732148Abstract: 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: May 4, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Julio Estrada, Miguel A.

Patent number: 6701376Abstract: 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 requests 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: June 19, 1998Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Haverstock, Miguel Estrada, Julio Estrada

Publication number: 20040039848Abstract: 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: December 29, 2000Publication date: February 26, 2004Applicant: International Business Machines CorporrationInventors: Julio Estrada, Miguel Estrada, Cun Yong Tan
