  • Patent number: 9608987
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method for sharing tasks over one or more computer networks is disclosed. The method includes providing a task created on a first computer system located in a first network, the task comprising content information and metadata information. The task can be shared with a user of a second network that is different from the first network. The method can include transmitting the metadata information of the task to a second computer system in the second network over the one or more computer networks without transmitting the content information, the metadata information comprising at least a task identifier. The method can include receiving a request from the user to access the task. The method can include verifying that the user is a task participant. The content information of the task can be securely presented to the user over the one or more computer networks.

  • Publication number: 20140208325
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and sharing tasks over one or more networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system comprises a message retrieval module configured to retrieve electronic messages and parse them into a plurality of tasks. The system can also include a task creation module configured to process the message to identify task information and one or more task recipients. The task creation module can also be configured to create a task based on the identified task information. A task notification module can be configured to notify the one or more task recipients about the created task. The system may also include a multi-layer network management module configured to organize the tasks and task participants into multiple networks and clouds and into a federation of clouds. The system can also include a task analytics module programmed to analyze the tasks performed by users of the system.
