Patent number: 12175190Abstract: A method for partially publishing edits to a document is described. A first document including a first cell and a second cell is displayed on first user account on a first computing device and on a second user account. A second document including a linked version of the first cell and a linked version of the second cell is displayed. An edit of the first cell is received from the first user account and an edit of the second cell is received. In response to receiving an indication from the first user account that the edit of the first cell is to be published, the edit of the first cell is made to the linked version of the first cell, while the linked version of the second cell is unchanged so that the content of the linked version of the second cell no longer matches that of the second cell.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2024Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: WORKIVA INC.Inventors: Hannah Joy Deering, Thieu Van Tran Pham, Travis Smith, Edward Joseph Cupps, Aaron David Hall, Matthew Peter Hinrichsen, Ryan A.

Patent number: 9298762Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for updating a master data list with data from a difference unaware information repository and a difference aware information repository. A master synchronization engine may synchronize to the difference unaware information repository and the difference aware information repository via connectors coupled to each information repository. The difference unaware information repository exports all the data stored within the repository to its respective connector. The connector determines the changes made to the data since the last synchronization and the changes are forwarded to the master synchronization engine. The difference aware information repository is capable of determining the changes made to the stored data since the last synchronization and forwards the changes to its connector. Each connector forwards the changes to the data in their respective information repositories to a database which updates the master data list.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Plaxo, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Smarr, Ryan A. King

Patent number: 9282075Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for providing personalized communications. An exemplary method can comprise determining an interest level in contributing to a media message for a recipient. The method can comprise selecting, based on the interest level, a plurality of contributors from a network of members associated with a recipient. The method can also comprise receiving at least two messages in one or more formats from the plurality of contributors. The method can further comprise combining the at least two messages into a media message.

Patent number: 8271535Abstract: Ways for synchronizing folders between one or more layers of folders are described. It includes selecting layers to link together, comparing folders in the selected layers using an immutable identifier, parsing the folders of each of the selected layers into fields, comparing the fields of parsed folders of the selected layers, and determining whether to synchronize the folders of the selected layers based on conflict rules triggered in response to the comparison of the fields of the parsed folders. Also disclosed are ways of merging two or more folders in a network into a single folder. It includes comparing entries between folders to identify duplicate entries, grouping the identified duplicate entries in each folder, generating a matrix from the duplicates grouping and assigning each matrix entry a value, and matching the matrix entries based on the assigned values to determine an extent to merge an identified duplicate entry.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2011Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Plaxo, Inc.Inventors: Cameron T.
