  • Patent number: 9967358
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for collaborative caching of files during a collaboration session includes receiving a request from a first electronic device for a first file. The method determines whether the first file is stored in one or more caches, wherein the one or more caches are associated with one or more electronic devices. Responsive to determining the first file is stored in a cache of a second electronic device, the method determines whether the first file stored in the cache of the second electronic device meets a set of guidelines. Responsive to determining the first file stored in the cache of the second electronic device meets the set of guidelines, the method sends the first file from the cache of the second electronic device via an internal network to the first electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20170322799
    Abstract: In an approach to section level version control, a computing device fetches one or more changesets associated with a section of code to generate a change history. The computing device displays the change history. The computing device displays markers to identify changes to the section of code. The computing device sorts the change history by timestamp. The computing device displays a virtual preview of a prospective change to the section of code.

  • Publication number: 20160357850
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are provided for automating digital resource management by using monitored user interactions with digital resources to compute a user interaction metric for each digital resource upon detecting a role change for a first user having a user interaction history with the digital resources, where each user interaction metric indicates how important the first user is to the corresponding digital resource and is used to select and map a first digital resource to a second user to provide an ownership transition recommendation for the first digital resource in response to the role change for the first user.

  • Publication number: 20140082523
    Abstract: In a method for collaboratively sharing portions of a web document, a computer system receives a request from a requestor to redact web documents via a first collaboration tool of one or more collaboration tools. In one aspect, the computer system identifies designated portions of information in the web documents. The computer system redacts the designated portions of information. In addition, the computer system transmits the redacted web documents to a responder via a second collaboration tool. In another aspect, the computer system receives from the responder an altered version of the redacted web document via the second collaboration tool. In addition, the computer system redacts the altered version of the redacted web document. In another aspect, the computer system transmits the redacted altered version of the web document to the requestor via the first collaboration tool of the one of more collaboration tools.

  • Patent number: 8527863
    Abstract: An instruction is received to display a section of a referencing document on a screen. The section has at least one referencing link referencing a different section. The section of the referencing document is displayed on the screen. A selection of a referencing link is received. The different section referenced by the referencing link is displayed on the screen, at least partially at a same time of the displaying of the section of the referencing document. A visual indicator that associates the referencing link with the different section is displayed. Also in response to receiving the selection and in response to determining that the section of the referencing document includes multiple reference links of the at least one reference link to different section, other visual indicators that associate the multiple referencing links with the different section are displayed.

  • Publication number: 20130124555
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for navigating related items in responses to search requests. In response to a search request, a server determines a first results set of items, where the items have one or more item characteristics. The server receives a selection indicating one of the characteristics items in the first results set. The server performs a search utilizing the first characteristic to obtain a second set of items having the selected characteristic. A visual link indicator module of the server generates commands and data for displaying the second set of items having the selected characteristic. The display includes a visual indicator of a relationship of the second set of items to the selected characteristic.

  • Patent number: 8352878
    Abstract: Selections from a long list of elements on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) are presented. When a context window is presented for the selections, different cues are provided in the context window to provide feedback regarding the selections that are not in the current view, and to also facilitate rapid navigation to those selections on the GUI. Interaction with the GUI widgets within the context window, and interaction with the context window itself, facilitates the navigation toward the other selections that are not in the current view. Interaction with the GUI widgets also facilitates the preview of the selections that are not in the current view, thus making it easier to determine what has been selected without having to navigate to the view that contains those selections.

  • Patent number: 8164443
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to personal articles tracking and provide a method, system and computer program product for group aware tracking within a bounded zone. In an embodiment of the invention, a group aware tracking method can include recording an association in a table in a computing system between individuals within a geographically bounded zone and at least one target object within the geographically bounded zone. The method also can include sensing an individual from amongst the individuals exiting the geographically bounded zone and further sensing a target object exiting the geographically bounded zone. The method yet further can include comparing the sensed individual with the further sensed target object to determine whether or not an association exists in the table and triggering an alarm when an association is determined not to exist in the table between the sensed individual and the further sensed target object.
