  • Patent number: 10706013
    Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art for providing workflow controls to shared content items stored on client devices, and enforcing content item check outs or content item locks for shared content items stored and accessed on client devices. The present technology further includes automatically locking a shared content item that is edited on a client device so that other team members cannot modify the content item. Accordingly, the present technology improves upon existing systems that provide workflow controls such as file check-in and checkout functionality by permitting users to access content items directly from the file system of their client device, and by providing automatic checkout and check-in functionality.

  • Patent number: 10687181
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a communication unit that performs wireless communication which uses an internal access point, a processing unit, and a display unit. In a state where the number of terminal apparatuses that establish a wireless connection to the internal access point reaches an upper limit value, in a case where a wireless connection request is received from a terminal apparatus that does not establish a wireless connection, the processing unit rejects the wireless connection request and performs processing that displays an alert in a first display mode on the display unit. Moreover, in a case where, until a given period of time has elapsed after the alert was kept non-displayed, the wireless connection request is again received from the terminal apparatus, the processing unit performs processing that sets a mode for displaying the alert to be a second display mode.
