  • Patent number: 10891338
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing information. A given document that includes structured information (e.g., properties, attribute-value pairs, etc.) and/or unstructured information (e.g., narratives, blobs of text, etc.) may be accessed. Connections between the document and other documents may be determined based on the structured information. Connections between the document and other objects may be determined based on the structured information. The unstructured information may be formatted into formatted information. Formatting of the unstructured information may facilitate users' comprehension/utilization of the information. An interface (e.g., user interface, API) enabling presentation of (1) the formatted information and (2) the connections of the document may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20200334237
    Abstract: Implementations for searching and analyzing large, object-oriented data sets in an efficient manner involving innovative user interface features and/or search algorithm functionality are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a system may search for information and/or relationships based on specified search criteria and return results that may be displayed dynamically and further filtered or analyzed. Systems may involve object oriented database(s) and a software layer including a specialized user interface between the user and the database(s). The user interface may comprise various tools as well as predefined and configurable features that enable effective search of the data as well as display of search results that are configurable and readily managed to provide immediate and useful search results.

  • Publication number: 20200304585
    Abstract: A system architecture can be used to facilitate communication among applications that are native and/or non-native to an application environment. The system architecture can include a first application environment executed on a client-side computing device. The first application environment can execute software applications that are native thereto. The first application environment can further execute software applications that are native thereto, but which software applications themselves comprise second application environments of types different from the first application environment, and which software applications can therefore execute additional software applications that are non-native to the first application environment. The first application environment can further execute a computation engine that is configured to store and execute instructions received from the first software application, the second software application, or both.

  • Publication number: 20200192531
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for automatically generating and displaying a chronology of events, where events may be represented by data objects in one or more databases. Events/data objects may be identified as relevant to an investigation or analysis based on specified criteria. A timeline may be generated based on the identified set of relevant events, and interactive user interfaces may be generated and displayed that present the events as a timeline and a list. Events may be selected from the timeline or the list, may be identified as key events in the chronology, and additional events related to a selected event may be determined and added to the chronology. Timelines may be compared to other data sets, including other timelines, other event lists, and other relevant data.

  • Patent number: 10681165
    Abstract: A system architecture can be used to facilitate communication among applications that are native and/or non-native to an application environment. The system architecture can include a first application environment executed on a client-side computing device. The first application environment can execute software applications that are native thereto. The first application environment can further execute software applications that are native thereto, but which software applications themselves comprise second application environments of types different from the first application environment, and which software applications can therefore execute additional software applications that are non-native to the first application environment. The first application environment can further execute a “proxy” software application that may coordinate and/or manage communication among various software applications in the first application environment.

  • Patent number: 10609041
    Abstract: An example method of enforcing granular access policy for embedded artifacts comprises: detecting an association of an embedded artifact with a resource container; associating the embedded artifact with at least a subset of an access control policy associated with the resource container; and responsive to receiving an access request to access the embedded artifact, applying the access control policy associated with the resource container for determining whether the access request is grantable.

  • Publication number: 20190347340
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media may be configured to access first database and a second database. The first database may be structured for a first data type, and may include a first data of the first data type. The second database may be structured for a second data type different from the first datatype, and may include a second data of the second data type. The second data may be associated with the first data. A first information request relating to the first data and a second information request relating to the second data may be received. A first response to the first information request may be determined based on the second data. A second response to the second information request may be determined based on the first data. An interface, through which the first response or the second response is accessible, may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20190220455
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integrated data analysis. At least one object that is responsive to a first search query is determined. The object is stored in an object model that is managed by a first computing platform, and the at least one object is associated with one or more properties. One or more data sets that are responsive to a second search query are determined. The data sets are managed by a second computing platform. The one or more data sets are determined related to the at least one object. The at least one object is updated to include at least one property that references at least one analysis that relies on the one or more data sets.

  • Publication number: 20190163709
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying relevant information for an entity, referred to as a seed entity. A plurality of search queries can be generated each comprising a property of a seed entity or one of the entities associated with the seed entity (seed-linked entities). Preferably, a collection of search queries includes ones representing different properties of the seed entity and properties of different seed-linked entities. Optionally, the collection of search queries is optimized to reduce search burden. Searches can then be conducted with the search queries in one or more data sources to obtain a plurality of search results, wherein each search result comprises a hit entity and one or more entities associated with the hit entity (hit-linked entity).
