  • Patent number: 11233871
    Abstract: In one approach, a server computer receives a playlist from a first client computer, wherein the playlist identifies a plurality of media assets and includes synchronization information that specifies how to present the plurality of media assets as a synchronized media presentation. The server computer receives a request from the first client computer to share the playlist with a second client computer. The server computer causes the plurality of media assets to be deposited in a client storage accessible to the second client computer. The server computer sends the playlist to the second client computer. The second client computer presents the synchronized media presentation based on the plurality of media assets deposited in the client storage and the synchronization information of the playlist.

  • Publication number: 20030101133
    Abstract: A workflow management system for an automated credit application processing system. The workflow management system automatically coordinates the workflow among various workgroups and entities involved in the credit application process. The steps and rule tests that define an organization's workflow are customized according to the workflow requirements and process steps for each organization. The workflow manager allows application steps to be processed simultaneously by various entities involved in the loan application process. Workgroups are defined for each pre-configured workflow definition. Each workgroup is associated with a particular set of functions. A workgroup queue is provided for each workgroup. Workgroup queues contain active or pending steps associated with the workgroup. In operation, users can obtain status information by viewing data from the various workgroup queues.
