Patent number: 9798732Abstract: Methods and apparatus teach providing semantic associations between data available on one or more computing devices, including grouping together related files and creating an association between the related grouped files and at least one anchor file to provide a semantic association for the grouped files. Also is taught configuring an agent on the one or more computing devices to undertake the grouping and to create the association without a user request. Also is taught triggering an evaluation of current files against related grouped files, and creating an association between the current files and at least one of the related grouped files and the at least one anchor file. Information may be added to the created association to create additional semantic associations for one or more of the grouped files and the current files. In turn, computer program products and computing systems for accomplishing the foregoing are provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Micro Focus Software Inc.Inventors: Scott A.

Patent number: 9720999Abstract: Techniques for meta-directory control and evaluation of events are provided. Disparate events from heterogeneous processing environments are collected as the events are produced by resources within the processing environments. The events are filtered and organized into taxonomies. Next the filtered and organized events are assigned to nodes of a Meta directory, each node defining a relationship between two or more of the resources and policy is applied. Finally, additional policy is evaluated in view of the events and their node assignments with other events, and one or more automated actions are then taken.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Micro Focus Software Inc.Inventors: Stephen R Carter, Scott A.

Patent number: 9495782Abstract: An application can receive a request to insert one file into another file opened for editing within the application. The request can be either in-line or through a menu system of the application. The request can include a context for the file to be inserted. The system can then identify a set of files that can satisfy the context, from which a user can choose what file is to be inserted. The chosen file can then be inserted into the file opened for editing, all without leaving the application.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: Allan W. Neill, Scott A. Isaacson

Patent number: 9348835Abstract: Methods and apparatus teach a digital spectrum of a data file. The digital spectrum is used to map a file's position in multi-dimensional space. This position relative to another file's position reveals closest neighbors. Certain of the closest neighbors are grouped together, while others are differentiated. Grouping ceases upon application of a stopping function so that rightly sized, optimum numbers of file groups are obtained. Embodiments of stopping functions relate to curve types in a mapping of numbers of groups per sequential rounds of grouping, recognizing whether groups have overlapping file members or not, and/or determining whether groups meet predetermined numbers of members, to name a few. Properly grouped files can then be further acted upon.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: NOVELL, INC.Inventors: Scott A. Isaacson, Craig N. Teerlink, Nadeem A.
