  • Publication number: 20250307212
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing folders. An embodiment includes a database and a messaging server. The messaging server generates a folder management graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a plurality of input fields for receiving commands. The messaging server and the folder management GUI receive a command from a global matter administrator to create a matter folder and permissions specifying which role a user must have to access the matter folder. The matter folder may carry at least one file and chat channel. In response to the command, the messaging server generates the matter folder in the database. The messaging server controls access to the matter folder as specified in the permissions such that the user is able to view or modify the at least one file and chat channel only if the user has a role allowed within the permissions.

  • Publication number: 20240333830
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a mobile video conferencing interface with chat channel selection and file sharing integration. The video conferencing application also integrates with a chat messaging platform to provide streamlined access to multiple chat panels while still on a mobile device. A mobile device graphical user interface may include a video conference stream and access to a list of chat channels. The interface may allow a user to select a particular chat channel. In response to the selection, a messaging system retrieves messages corresponding to the chat channel and generates a chat panel. The chat panel is displayed along with the video conference stream. This interface is well-suited for mobile screens. The interface also allows for file sharing between chat panels displayed on the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8326734
    Abstract: A system and appertaining method are provided in which a brokerage firm transmits confidential information about security trading intentions to an anonymous server that follows through on a trade only if there is a likelihood that the trade can be completed. Pricing inputs are obtained that help a price engine determine pricing information for securities. The trade itself is executed by a primary trading system. If the trade is not completed, then the confidential information is not shared with a market maker or other purchasing or selling entity. When security is low and trust is high, for speed purposes, among other things, the anonymous server may be located with a market maker. When security is high and trust is low, any or all of the anonymous server, price engine, and primary trading system can be collocated on site with the broker in a secure environment.
