  • Patent number: 9632824
    Abstract: A system includes multiple applications executing on a device. One or more user-interfaces connect with the device. The one or more user-interfaces interact with the applications as user-interface activities. A processor sends or receives an indication of the user-interface activities for the multiple applications. The multiple applications are closed or locked, or the device logged out, based on the indication of the user-interface activities for the multiple applications.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9535450
    Abstract: Synchronizing a data stream with an associated metadata stream by receiving a data stream and a metadata stream having a plurality of metadata events associated with the data stream, identifying within the data stream a plurality of data events, matching each of the data events to one of the metadata events in accordance with a matching criterion, and synchronizing the data stream with the metadata stream by effecting a relative time shift between the metadata stream and the data stream in accordance with a time shift adjustment value that results in the smallest sum of absolute differences between time indices of each matched data event and metadata event.

  • Publication number: 20130254299
    Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product for sender feedback on email correspondence are provided. The method performed at an email client or server includes: activating a feedback service; receiving one or more emails; generating a feedback request to an email sender; receiving a response to the feedback request providing feedback; and handling an email in accordance with the received feedback. The method may also include filtering received emails to determine if a feedback request is to be sent. If the feedback indicates that an email is no longer relevant, the handling step may include deleting or marking the email accordingly.

  • Patent number: 8484040
    Abstract: Methods and systems for social analysis in multi-participant meetings provide for receiving a data stream of a multi-participant meeting, wherein multiple topics are discussed. The data stream is analyzed to detect topics and to define topical sub-activities that are performed by at least a portion of the participants. Contributions to a topic by two of the participants in the topical sub-activities are identified and evaluated. A connection weight between the two participants is calculated based on the evaluation of their respective contributions.

  • Patent number: 8204759
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided for social analysis in multi-party meetings. The method includes receiving a data stream of a multi-participant meeting and identifying participants' contributions in the data stream. The method also includes detecting a sub-activity within the data stream in which two or more participants are active and calculating a connection weight between two participants based on contributions in a sub-activity. Calculating a connection weight between two participants includes increasing a weighting of two participants that interact in the same sub-activity. The method also includes integrating the connection weight between two participants into a weighted social network.
