Patent number: 12292948Abstract: Trust of a secure workspace that has multiple layers with distributed ownership can be verified. A management service can maintain a repository of layers for secure workspaces and a certificate vault storing certificates of the owners of the layers. The management service can also maintain workspace metadata defining secure workspaces that pertain to a particular user and the layers that form the secure workspaces. When a secure workspace is to be deployed on a user computing device, the management service can send the layers that form the secure workspace and the workspace metadata for the secure workspace to a host agent on the user computing device. The host agent can then leverage the certificates of the owners of the layers to verify the trust of each layer and, if trust is verified for all layers that form the secure workspace, can deploy the secure workspace on the user computing device.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Gokul Thiruchengode Vajravel, Amy Christine Nelson

Patent number: 12255782Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating device cluster capability information for a cluster of devices in a network environment. Capability information can specify capabilities of the devices in the cluster. A first user device can generate device capabilities for the first user device and obtain device capabilities for other devices in the cluster. The first user device can generate cluster capability information providing an intersection of the first set of device capabilities and device capabilities of the other user devices in the cluster. The first user device can obtain cluster capability information for other clusters in the network environment and receive a request from a service user device to perform a specific task. The first user device can transmit cluster capability information relating to a selected cluster that corresponds with the request.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott M. Marshall, Jeremy A. Wyld, Jiten L Mehta, Darren Litzinger, John J. Iarocci

Patent number: 12253363Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system that includes a database including data associated with one or more building features of a building. The system includes a processor of a computing device. The processor is configured to determine an absolute position of the computing device within the building. The processor is configured to identify at least one of the building features located within a threshold distance of the absolute position of the computing device based on a query of the database. Additionally, the processor is configured to generate an alert configured to cause the computing device to display information associated with the at least one of the building features or output an audible signal associated with the at least one of the building features.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Christopher James Waful, Rachael Ann Humphreys, Xin Wang, Mateusz Peter Dyl, Matthew Blair, Andre Rene Buentello, Paul Garcia

Patent number: 12254446Abstract: A spatial event map system including server-side data processor that maintains a spatial event map which locates events in a workspace. The spatial event map includes a log of events, entries in the log having a location of an object of the event in the workspace and a time. The system includes logic to send messages including a location of an object of the event in the workspace and a time of the event to client-side network nodes; and to receive messages identifying events that create or modify an object, and to add corresponding entries to the log of events. The events can include history events that are sent to the other client-side network nodes, and added to the log for the corresponding history events, and ephemeral events that are sent to other client-side network nodes without adding corresponding entries in the log.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: BLUESCAPE BUYER LLCInventors: David M. Foley, Adam Pearson, Demian Entrekin

Patent number: 12250185Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media, and apparatuses for surfacing content items in a messaging system. The methods may include storing content items generated by a client device of a user. The method may further include determining a time period and content items corresponding to the time period to resurface to the user, the time period selected based on comparing the social interaction data, the viewing data, and the modification data associated with the content items corresponding to the time period with the social interaction data, the viewing data, and the modification data associated with content items generated during other time periods. The method may further include generating a title page for the time period to resurface to the user, the title page comprising a title and an indication of a date for the time period.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Dale Brody, Alexander Collins, Benedict Copping, Justin Huang

Patent number: 12248752Abstract: An approach for directing a chat agent for an online discussion is provided. A processor retrieves message data from a messaging program. A processor identifies at least one topic present in the message data. A processor, responsive to a determination that the at least one topic is a primary topic, updates the chat agent with the primary topic. A processor modifies message data based on the determined primary topic.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nadiya Kochura, Fang Lu, Kelley Anders, Jonathan D.

Patent number: 12244769Abstract: A callback action is enabled for a first user in association with a voice message (VM) that is in a shared VM inbox. A determination is made that the VM is not responded to within a response time. Responsive to determining that the VM is not responded to within the response time, the VM is reassigned from the first user to a second user. Responsive to reassigning the VM from the first user to the second user, the callback action is enabled for the second user and is disabled for the first user.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Zoom Communications, Inc.Inventor: Nick Swerdlow

Patent number: 12245331Abstract: Various systems, mediums, and methods may involve a provider application configured to access a user account associated with a provider server. For example, a system may perform operations to identify one or more other applications installed on the mobile device that may be configured to communicate with the provider server. The system may determine data required by the other applications to perform one or more data transfers with the user account. The system may cause the provider application to send the data required to the other applications. As such, the other applications may be enabled to perform one or more data transfers with the user account based on the data sent to the other applications.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Kevin Ward, Vijeyta Aggarwal, Larry Lingjer Wang, Mayank Chaudhary, Nischitha Thimmappa Gowda Sundaramma
