  • Patent number: 11238383
    Abstract: Methods and systems for suggesting electronic collaborative user groups to a user account based on user account activity. The method includes identifying one or more event records corresponding to a user account. Each of the one or more event records identifying an interaction between a client device of the user account and a server computing system and corresponding to one or more themes associated with a given team. The method further includes calculating a theme score for the user account based on the retrieved one or more event records. The theme score based at least in part on the number of identified event records. The method also includes determining whether the calculated theme score exceeds a predetermined threshold score, and in response to determining that the calculated theme score exceeds the predetermined threshold score, facilitating connection of the user account and the team associated with the theme.

  • Patent number: 11194790
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a federated network and database platform that is configured to sequence client write events occurring among several autonomous software applications. The federated network and database platform includes a client event sequencing server that is configured to receive a migration corpus of client write events from at least one software application server and assign a back-date time stamp to each client write event of the migration corpus. Upon receiving a new client write event associated with the software application, the client event sequencing server is configured to assign a current time stamp to the new client write event and store the new client write event to a client event sequencing database in a manner that positions the new client write event relative to the back-dated migration corpus of client write events.

  • Patent number: 10880150
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for tracking and sequencing client events in a federated computer network are discussed herein. Various embodiments provide a computer-implemented method for assigning timestamps to client events received by nodes within the network and appending node identifiers to the timestamps to create node time signatures for the client events to facilitate updating of a client event database. Still other embodiments provide methods for comparing a last event node time signature to a recently received node time signature and generating an updated node time signature in view of the same. Such embodiments address client event sequencing problems that tend to plague federated and distributed networks as they expand in scale, geographic distribution, complexity, and involve programmatic client event generating services such as credential management services.

  • Patent number: 10354093
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a first request to grant an account access to a software application of a plurality of software applications, and determining whether a native database stores first permission data for the account to access the software application. This example method further includes, in response to determining that the database does not store the first permission data: sending, via a network to an application server configured to provide the software application, a second request for second permission data for the account to access the software application; responsive to sending the second request to the application server, receiving the second permission data from the application server; responsive to receiving the second permission data from the application server, storing the second permission data in the database; and granting, in accordance with the second permission data, access to the account to access the software application.

  • Publication number: 20180365626
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and/or managing dynamic user teams. The method includes retrieving event records corresponding to a theme, each event record identifying an interaction between a user computing device and a server computing system, the theme being a common factor underlying each of the interactions; calculating a team creation score for the theme based on the retrieved event records, wherein the team creation score is based at least in part on the number of retrieved event records corresponding to the theme; determining whether the theme meets an implicit team creation criteria by comparing the team creation score with a threshold team creation score; in response to determining that the implicit team creation criteria are met, automatically creating the implicit team; and automatically adding at least two members to the implicit team, the at least two members meeting a member addition criteria associated with the implicit team.
