  • Patent number: 9992628
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for facilitating a download of a specific portion of a map onto a computing device based on information received from a location-aware service. Location information, a start date, and an end date associated with travel plans of a user are received from, for example, a location-aware application or service. A download time corresponding to when to download a map portion corresponding to the received location information is determined. At or prior to the download time, it is determined whether the map portion can be downloaded at that particular time based on one or more factors. If the map portion can be downloaded at that time, the map portion is downloaded to a device associated with the user. The map portion is then removed from the device associated with the user on or after the end date.

  • Publication number: 20170364692
    Abstract: An electronic file sharing system includes a data store, a processor, and memory. The memory is coupled to the processor and stores instructions that when executed by the processor, provide electronic file storage relative to the data store. The processor is configured to detect a first sharing operation from a first entity to share a selected electronic file with a second entity to allow the second entity to interact with the selected electronic file in a way set by the first entity. The processor is further configured to generate a first sharing link for the second entity to access the selected electronic file in the way set by the first entity. The processor is also configured to detect a second sharing operation from an entity other than the first entity to share the selected electronic file with a third entity in the way set by the first entity and to generate a second sharing link for the third entity to access the selected electronic file in the way set by the first entity.

  • Publication number: 20170323086
    Abstract: A computing system that provides access to electronic content includes a processor, a data store, and a user interface component. The data store is coupled to the processor and configured to store the electronic content. The user interface component is coupled to the processor and configured to generate a user interface allowing an internal user to generate a sharing request to share electronic content with an external user. The processor is configured to determine whether the internal user is a member of a group that is allowed to externally share content and to inhibit external sharing of the electronic content if the internal user is not a member of the group that is allowed to externally share the electronic content.

  • Publication number: 20170262418
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product provide the ability to optimize placement of annotations in a drawing model. A drawing model that has annotations and objects is acquired. An annotation (to be moved) is randomly selected. A new position for the selected annotation is randomly selected. The selected annotation is moved to the new position. A new quality score of a resulting drawing model is computed. The resulting drawing model is accepted or rejected based on the new quality score. The above steps are iterated, wherein over time, a probability of accepting the resulting drawing model based on a worse new quality score decreases. The final resulting drawing model is output (e.g., for display).

  • Publication number: 20150134372
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing functionality of an online self-booking tool to a user who is booking travel offerings through a website of a third party provider. A travel-related search query by the user generates parallel searches in each of a website of a third party provider and a database including travel offerings having negotiated rates. The results of the parallel searches may be captured and combined in a data siphon tool. The data siphon tool may reconcile the combined search results by eliminating duplicate search results and identifying search results that are in conflict with corporate travel policies. The reconciled search results may then be formatted based on display data obtained from the third party website and displayed to the user. Search results conflicting with corporate travel policies may be deleted, or displayed with an indication of the conflict.

  • Publication number: 20130271601
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for the detection of changes in illumination for vision systems between a digital image of an area and a digital image of a background model of said region of study of the same size, wherein, based on such images, at least one blob of a region which reflects the differences between the background model and the current or detection image of the area is selected by segmentation techniques, the spatial correlation between the pixels of the blob in the detection image and in the background model image being found. According to the correlation with respect to a threshold value thereof, this change is associated with a change in illumination. An implementation suitable for video surveillance systems is provided together with the previous device.
