  • Publication number: 20150046530
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for reducing noise in a social media feed of the type including successive posts each having a substantially homogeneous format. The method may involve: identifying a plurality of related updates to a record; configuring a single smart post to include underlying content from each of the plurality of related updates, and a visual cue distinct from the substantially homogeneous format; and displaying the smart post in the feed.

  • Patent number: 8955084
    Abstract: A token used when a first device authenticates itself to a third device may be associated with a token issue timestamp. Upon receipt of an indication that all previously issued tokens are to be revoked, a second device may store a revocation timestamp. Upon receiving, from the second device, a request for establishing conditions for a file transfer, from the first device, and an indication of a token issue timestamp associated with the request, the second device may compare the token issue timestamp to the revocation timestamp. Responsive to determining, based on the comparing, that the token issue timestamp precedes the revocation timestamp, the second device may deny the request.

  • Publication number: 20150032688
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for displaying content of an enterprise social network feed on a mobile device. In some implementations, a server receives a request to display a parent container feed associated with a parent object in a hierarchical model of objects stored in a database of an on-demand service environment. The server identifies, based a plurality of criteria, a first plurality of information updates associated with a first child object having a child relationship with the parent object. The server also identifies a second plurality of information updates associated with the parent object. The server generates a first set of feed items comprising the first plurality of information updates and a second set of feed items comprising the second plurality of information updates. The server provides for display on a mobile device the first and second sets of feed items in the parent container feed.

  • Publication number: 20150019575
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media for filtering feed content in an enterprise social networking system into user-customizable feed channels. Each feed channel is defined by a criterion or criteria customized by a user. Feed content published to one or more feeds is accessed. Portions of the feed content are identified that satisfy a criterion or criteria of a feed channel. A user device is operable to process data to display a list of the feed channels. Each feed channel in the displayed list is user-selectable to cause the display of the feed channel to include only the portion of feed content satisfying the criterion or criteria of the selected feed channel.

  • Patent number: 8898054
    Abstract: Aspects relate to machine recognition of human voices in live or recorded audio content, and delivering text derived from such live or recorded content as real time text, with contextual information derived from characteristics of the audio. For example, volume information can be encoded as larger and smaller font sizes. Speaker changes can be detected and indicated through text additions, or color changes to the font. A variety of other context information can be detected and encoded in graphical rendition commands available through RTT, or by extending the information provided with RTT packets, and processing that extended information accordingly for modifying the display of the RTT text content.

  • Publication number: 20140334502
    Abstract: A system for relaying data based on a modified reliable transport protocol is provided. According to an aspect, a relay can receive a data packet sent in accordance with a reliable transport protocol. The relay processes the received packet in accordance with modified reliable protocol and relays the received packet. The modifications can be based on alterations to reliability mechanisms which improve communication characteristics of the protocol for real time communications and other time sensitive communications. The modified protocol is nevertheless compatible with the original reliable protocol so that relay can communicate, using the modified protocol with any network component using the unmodified protocol.

  • Patent number: 8644177
    Abstract: Techniques for use in controlling data traffic in a wireless local area network (WLAN) which includes at least one access point (AP) are described. In one illustrative example, the terminal is associated with the AP and receives data traffic from a source device via the AP. The terminal identifies whether a processing requirement of the terminal for processing data traffic exceeds a predetermined threshold. In response to such identifying, the terminal produces a control message which includes a source address corresponding to the source device and a destination address corresponding to the terminal, and sends the control message to the AP. The control message is defined to instruct the AP to prohibit transmission of the data traffic originating from the source address and destined to the destination address.

  • Publication number: 20130117439
    Abstract: A method for discovering a communication device is disclosed. The method includes: receiving in the communication device a communication including a request for an address and an identification of an application, in response to receiving the communication, associating a dynamic address of the communication device with the identified application, and sending a second communication directly or indirectly to a client device, the second communication including the dynamic address. The communication device may further obtain a dynamic address in response to receiving the communication. The dynamic address may be used for a dedicated purpose, such as for receiving a file for subsequent use by the application.
