Patent number: 11700223Abstract: Asynchronous collaboration via a communication platform is described. A message representative of an asynchronous meeting can be displayed via a user interface of a communication platform. The user interface can include an affordance to enable a user to add a snippet of content to the asynchronous meeting. In response to detecting an actuation of the affordance, an input user interface that includes an option to record or upload the snippet of content can be displayed. The snippet of content can be received from a client of a user associated with the asynchronous meeting and can be associated with other snippet(s) of content added by other user(s) associated with the asynchronous meeting. A preview summary of snippet(s) of content associated with the asynchronous meeting can be displayed in association with the message, wherein each snippet of content is viewable via a thread associated with the message.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Anna Niess, Noah Weiss, Kevin Marshall, John Rodgers, Patrick Kane, Prajna Shetty, Michael Hahn, Alfred Xing, Justin Rushing, Julie Haynes

Publication number: 20230208792Abstract: Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to allow members of the interface to communicate within group-based communication channels. The group-based communication interface is configured to relegate selected group-based messaging communications to a separate display pane, where additional messaging communications can be received, thereby maintaining a focused selected group-based communication channel. The selected group-based communication channel is updated to indicate that the selected group-based messaging communications was relegated to a separate display pane, informing the channel members while also allowing the channel members to access the separate display pane if desired. Accordingly, the selected group-based communication interface provides for efficient and focused group-based communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Paul Rosania, Milo Watanabe, Daniel Stewart Butterfield, Neil Walker, Patrick Kane, Hubert Florin, Wayne Fan

Patent number: 11537564Abstract: A group-based communication interface with subsidiary file communications is described. A request to share a file in a feed of a group-based communication platform can be received, wherein the feed comprises a channel, a thread, or a direct message associated with a group of the group-based communication platform. A representation of the file can be rendered in a user interface presented via client device(s) of user(s) associated with the group, wherein the representation of the file is associated with an engageable link for accessing the file, and wherein a thread summary indicator, representing a thread of message(s) associated with the file, is presented proximate the representation of the file. Based at least in part on receiving an indication of an interaction with the thread summary indicator, the message(s) associated with the thread can be rendered in the user interface proximate the representation of the file.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Milo Watanabe, Ayesha Bose, Bernadette Le, Faisal Yaqub, Fayaz Ashraf, Marcel Weekes, Wayne Fan, Adam Cole, Jordan Williams, Patrick Kane, Oluwatosin Afolabi

Publication number: 20220303311Abstract: A Method and apparatus for resilient Decoy Routing without conspiring Autonomous Systems by instead using a DHT routing table is described. In one embodiment of the present invention, there would exist a set of Decoy Routing Nodes which would be connected via a DHT's routing table. This would enable decoy routing nodes to not depend on a predefined list. Traditionally, Decoy Routing depends upon either a pre-configured list of computer systems to connect to or is wholly dependent upon BGP to happen to route to friendly Autonomous Systems that understand the true intent of the packet being routed. This method and apparatus solves these problems by providing a means to use a dynamic routing table, provided by a DHT to ensure that a packet can be delivered to computer systems that understand how to do decoy routing. This approach further ensures that the routing table being used is one that is kept up to date automatically as a function of the DHT providing the routing table.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Applicant: Ambit Inc.Inventors: Andrew Daniel McElroy, Kevin Patrick Kane
