  • Publication number: 20240098136
    Abstract: Group online communication and collaboration has become part of people's daily life. Therefore, it is critical to provide a meeting initiator to efficiently present his/her information, and control his/her presented information. It is also critical for the speed and efficiently to process the meeting initiator's requests for his/her presented information to be quickly reaching to other meeting participants during a meeting. This invention facilitates a unique user interface (UI) for the meeting initiator to efficiently present information and to control presented information through a unique withdrawing (un-post) operation. Specially, this invention deploys dynamic workspaces technology together with post and un-post (withdraw) operations that greatly improves the speed and efficiency for processing the meeting initiator's requests and for monetizing the meeting activities.

  • Publication number: 20230017018
    Abstract: Video sharing is an important part of information exchanging between people in business and in daily personal life. Video sharing between two or more user devices through a server on the Internet usually will consume tremendous network bandwidth. With the supporting of posting and un-posting operations and the dynamic workspace technology introduced in this invention, a server here can centrally coordinate the dynamic secure video sharing between two or more devices while avoiding itself being a bottleneck for the video sharing.

  • Patent number: 11533365
    Abstract: Remotely access computing resources had been a major challenge to many information technology (IT) vendors. For example, the traditional remote file system access products such as network file system (NFS) and message block (MSB) all cannot be used for web based accessing across global due to both of them demanding huge computing powers and network bandwidth. For other example, traditional web based remote files and folders accessing products such as Yahoo Briefcase and VMWare ESX Server 2.0 all cannot support operations such as move or copy a file from one folder into another due to both of them only can display two levels for a file system, thus only can operate files and folders within one flat level. This invention has overcome the problems had occurred in the traditional accessing of remote computing resources by introducing a method and apparatus for creating multi-layered item list to mirror computing resources.

  • Patent number: 11463442
    Abstract: Traditional information sharing will delete a file in order for stop sharing the file, and after shared a message, the message cannot be stopped for sharing. This invention discloses method and system for user posting (sharing) or un-posting (stop sharing) files, folders, and messages by deploying dynamic workspace technology. The stop sharing file or folder will not delete actual file or folder, so that the file or folder can be shared again to other users without requiring to recreate the file or folder. The un-post message operation facilitates a user to delete or withdraw his/her previously posted message from user interface (UI) of a recipient such that the user can avoid embarrassing if the message is not proper. Specially, a sharing control list is provided to user to control stop sharing files, otherwise, the user may do not remember how many files being shared with how many recipients.

  • Patent number: 11146567
    Abstract: This invention discloses method and system for supporting posting (sharing) or un-posting (stop sharing) files, folders, and messages through utilizing private and group common workspaces. The stop sharing file or folder will not delete actual file or folder that contradicted to and enhanced for the then-existed technology for the file and folder sharing. The un-post message operation facilitates a user to remove (delete or withdraw or stop sharing) his/her previously posted message from viewing of a recipient such as from a user interface (UI) of the recipient, so that the user can avoid embarrassment if the message was not proper. Thus, the un-post the posted message has also enhanced the then-existing technology with better user experiences for message sharing.

  • Patent number: 10686664
    Abstract: The use of the hierarchical list for displaying and operating resources of computing system by industry for very long time because of its easy for user access resources, such as the use of Microsoft's Window Explore for operating files and folders of a file system. However, the traditional use of the hierarchical list is directly using metadata of a resource structure, for example by using metadata of a file system. Therefore, upon remote access, for each user's access, the metadata must be recalculated from the file system itself that results tremendous demanding for computing power and increased response time to client device across a network. Therefore, the traditional use of hierarchical list such as Windows Explore can not be directly use across the Internet. This invention has overcome this problem by creating and updating a multi-layered hierarchical list in memory for eliminating the needs to re-calculating the metadata directly from a resource structure.

  • Publication number: 20190253429
    Abstract: Exchanging and sharing files, folders and messages has become people's daily life. However, traditional file sharing method provided by server computer does not provide a user to a effective way for stop sharing a file because the only way to stop sharing the file is to physically delete the file. Therefore, the user can not share the file again to other users in person or in group unless the file is expensively to be recreated. Additionally, traditional email system does not provide user to stop or withdraw a posted email message even if the content of the message is wrong or inappropriate. The same is true for traditional instant message which also does not provide user to stop sharing or withdraw a posted message.
