Patent number: 11662994Abstract: A system and method for managing a population of devices and in particular, software updates and version control of applications across the population includes permitting a first device to receive an update from a publisher and generating an update manifest that is propagated to other devices in the population. Applications within a population of devices are selectively disabled and enabled to prevent multiple update versions of the same application across the population.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: METACTIX LLCInventors: Phil Thompson, Michael Theis, Justin Kogge, David Sethi, Neil Sethi

Publication number: 20220164743Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing projects in a content management system. In some embodiments, a content management system can generate a graphical user interface that presents a centralized view of a project. For example, the project can include project members, content items, tasks assigned to project members, communications between project members and activity history for the project. The graphical user interface can present this project data (e.g., project members, content items, tasks, communications, activity, etc.) so that a project member can easily and quickly view multiple aspects of the project.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2022Publication date: May 26, 2022Applicant: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: John Arnott, Jacob Hurwitz, Matthew Beaty, Conor Woods, Fanny Luor, Steph Wang, Neil Sethi, Matthis Perrin, Chris Baty, Natalie Klotz, Henry Liu, Nebyat Teklu

Publication number: 20220147948Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating and utilizing digital associations between digital documents and digital calendar events based on determined content connections. For example, one or more embodiments suggest a digital document to a user for association with a digital calendar event based on content connections between the digital document and the digital calendar event. In particular, one or more embodiments determine a content connection based on document characteristics (e.g., document content and access characteristics) and calendar event characteristics (e.g., calendar content and historical meeting information). For example, the system can train a machine learning model to determine content connections based on document characteristics and calendar event characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Kavitha Radhakrishnan, Timo Mertens, Neil Sethi, David Stinnette, Justin Hileman, Adam LaFave

Patent number: 11017351Abstract: A system and method for recommending and procuring parts to repair a malfunctioning vehicle is disclosed. A recommendation and procurement application can: take information from a vehicle's on-board diagnostic system and recommend a list of parts required to repair the malfunctioning vehicle; find the recommended parts available for purchase via the Internet; retrieve information on such recommended parts; arrange the information in a format most useable to a technician that is to repair the vehicle; and allow the technician to purchase or otherwise procure such recommended parts to facilitate repair of the malfunctioning vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Transtar Industries LLCInventors: Neil Sethi, Bryan Chaikin, Tom DeMille

Patent number: 10872062Abstract: A collaborative content management system allows users to make revisions to a collaborative content item by previewing revision suggestions without applying changes the underlying collaborative content item. The user can select a portion of the collaborative content item for revision, and modify the selected portion via a user interface. When the user interface is selected, revisions are visible to a user in place of the selected text span; when the user interface is not selected, the original text span is once again displayed. This allows a user to toggle between versions of a collaborative content item. If a user approves a suggested revision, the user can select an approval instruction causing a selected text span to be replaced by revisions made via the user interface. If a user rejects a suggested revision, the user can select a rejection instruction and the selected text span remains within the collaborative content item.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Adrien Quang-Duy Truong, Neil Sethi, Yizhou Shao, Chuan Liu, Chris Lesniewski-Laas

Patent number: 10810363Abstract: A collaborative content management system enables users to selectively create threads and comments linked to specific portions of an image. An image comment may be indicated by a tag displayed at the location based on the specific portion of the image and having an identifier of the thread. Tags for image comments may be clustered together. When an image having image comments is replaced by a replacement image, the tags from the image may be transferred from the image to the replacement image and displayed at the same relative positions in the replacement image as positioned in the original image.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Igor Kofman, Lars Johnson, Kevin Tunc, David C. Stinnette, Travis Hance, Neil Sethi, Sheila Ramaswamy

Publication number: 20190294659Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to access a collaborative content item stored by a content management system and receive a user selection of a portion of a source content item to embed into the collaborative content item, wherein the source content item is managed by the content management system. The system is further configured to generate a content pane within the collaborative content item and embed the portion of the source content item in the content pane of the collaborative content item.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2018Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Neil Sethi, Joseph Grillo, Mira Rao

Patent number: 10261954Abstract: Techniques for optimizing search result snippet selection. In one aspect, the techniques include receiving a query and identifying a set of documents matching the query. A set of one or more snippet field types for a snippet representing a corresponding document of the set of documents is selected based at least in part on a snippet selection model. The snippet selection model is adjusted to reinforce or discourage selection of the set of one or more snippet field types for future queries based on the user click.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: John Robert Grace, Jr., Neil Sethi, Tsung-Hsiang Chang

Patent number: 10102305Abstract: An automated system and method for presenting trending content items to a user in a graphical user interface. The system and method generates trend scores of content items for a user based on current interactions with the content items by top collaborators of the user. By accounting for trends in the form of current content item interactions by collaborators, the system and method determines which content items are both currently relevant to a given user and currently trending among the user's collaborators. The system and method presents content items determined to be trending for a user in a graphical user interface presented to the user. The system and method system improve computers for information discovery by enabling users to spend less time searching for content items.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Tsung-Hsiang Chang, Neil Sethi
