Abstract: An intelligent conflict detection system. The system provides semantic expression of edits and history-aware conflict detection in a large-scale service allowing multiple users to simultaneously work with the same document, which may result in conflicting edits. When submitted, changes to a version of a document are compared to all versions of the document created since the document was sourced. Edits to documents are expressed as intents describing the changes in terms of an action and object of that action based on a characteristic of the data being edited. Comparing the intent of current edits against the historical intent of the edits made in prior versions originating from the same source document allows the system to intelligently assess whether the edits are in conflict. History-aware semantic analysis results in users being prompted less frequently to resolve conflicts, which improves the user experience.

Abstract: Provided is a container for transporting a consumable such as a medium on which an image is to be printed. The container includes a support surface and a reading component coupled to the support surface to read a computer-readable code accompanying the consumable. A relay interface is operatively connected to the reading component to receive a signal indicative of the computer-readable code read by the reading component, and communicate with a compatible reader provided to the receiving apparatus to convey information about the computer-readable code read by the reading component to the receiving apparatus. The relay interface can be coupled to the tray at a location remotely located from the reading component and having an orientation that is different from an orientation of the reading component.

An exemplary method includes redundantly storing data records across the redundant data storage centers, with a first data storage center operating as a primary data storage center configured to respond to at least user input related to the data records. The method includes placing the first data storage center into an intermediate mode which comprises ceasing response to the user input by the first data storage center and executing pending operations related to previous user input received by the first data storage center, and designating the second data storage center as the primary data storage center configured to respond to at least further user input related to the data records.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for management of partitioned data storage spaces are provided herein. An exemplary method includes storing sets of structured data records among partitioned data storage spaces, with data fields of the structured data records correlated among the sets by relational associations. The method includes maintaining data fields in a first set of structured data records, the data fields comprising promoted data fields that reference properties of data fields of a second set of structured data records. Responsive to an update to a data field of a first structured data record, the method includes determining if the update relates to a promoted data field, implementing a portion of the update in the second set of structured data records, and propagating the update to associated promoted data fields in the first set of structured data records along with any intervening changes received for the associated promoted data fields.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for management of partitioned data storage spaces is provided herein. An exemplary method includes storing sets of structured data records among partitioned data storage spaces, with data fields of the structured data records correlated among the sets by relational associations. The method includes, in a data center that receives change actions related to the structured data records, selectively placing the change actions into a plurality of change feeds, where the change feeds can be commutatively executed in parallel to implement the change actions. The method further includes implementing the change actions and propagating replication data comprising the change actions in the plurality of change feeds.

Abstract: Single sign-on identity management between local and cloud-based systems is provided. A remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint is registered as a local device, service or resource in a user's local directory services system. A local device and associated user requesting access to cloud-based resources will then see the authentication endpoint as an internal (inside the enterprise) server and may supply an authentication ticket which includes on-premises log-in or sign-on identity for the user. The remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint may then validate the authentication ticket, and the user may then access devices, applications and services operated in association with the remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint without a second or separate log-in or sign-on and without use of additional authentication equipment at the user's enterprise network.

Abstract: User interfaces associated with software applications or computer devices may be automatically laid out or configured based on attributes of a user, or operational characteristics or environmental conditions of the software applications or the computer devices. Where information or data regarding a user, a software application or a computer device is determined from any source (e.g., a sensor), such information or data may be compared to information or data associated with other users, software applications or computer devices, and a user interface may be presented on a computer display in a layout or configuration preferred by the other users. The layout or configuration may be identified by determining any number of covariances or correlations between such information and data and any layouts or configurations, or actions taken to establish such layouts or configurations by the other users.

Abstract: A consistent user view system. The system incorporates any changes made by a user in any views shown to that user even when the changes have not propagated to the partitions supplying the view. The system separates the authority for edits from the replicated storage allowing efficient transactions and linear scalability. Documents are read from view-based partitions of a store. Document writes are written to a document-specific partition in a journal and applied to the store. The system stores a copy of pending changes in a user-specific partition. When a user requests a view, the system checks that user's cache for any pending changes applicable to the view. If any applicable changes are found, the changes are applied before showing the view to the user. Pending changes that have been successfully applied to the store are trimmed from the user-specific partition to free up resources.
