20120192086 | REAL TIME NOTIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES THAT OCCUR IN A WEB-BASED COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENT - Systems and methods of real time notification of activities that occur in a web-based collaboration environment are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for selecting a recipient of a notification an activity according to criteria determined based on a workspace in which the activity was performed in the online collaboration platform and/or sending the notification of the activity to the recipient such that the recipient is notified in real time or near real time to when the activity occurred. | 07-26-2012 |
20120328259 | MULTIMEDIA CONTENT PREVIEW RENDERING IN A CLOUD CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Systems and methods for providing content previews of files, including video files, stored in an online content management system with collaboration environment are disclosed. Permission to view a preview of a file is determined based upon access permissions associated with the file and/or workspace in which the file is stored and the access level of the requesting user. The system can also provide a progress indicator indicating the approximate time remaining to process the file for previewing based upon averages of times for processing previous files having similar attributes. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for downsampling a video file to decrease the processing time for providing a preview. | 12-27-2012 |
20120331394 | BATCH UPLOADING OF CONTENT TO A WEB-BASED COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENT - Systems and methods of batch uploading of content to a web-based collaboration environment are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for receiving an upload request from a user through a user interface to upload multiple items and sequentially uploading each of the multiple items to the host server. In one embodiment, the user is able to navigate away from the user interface through which the upload request was submitted prior to completion of the uploading of each of the multiple items to the host server. In addition, the upload of the multiple items is not interrupted if the user accesses a link on the user interface causing another user interface to launch in a browser. | 12-27-2012 |

20130124458 | RESOURCE EFFECTIVE INCREMENTAL UPDATING OF A REMOTE CLIENT WITH EVENTS WHICH OCCURRED VIA A CLOUD-ENABLED PLATFORM - System and method for incrementally notifying a remote client of updates in a cloud-enabled platform for each remote client associated with a collaborator are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for detecting an action in the cloud-enabled platform and effectuating a data change as a result of the action in a first database, creating an action log entry from the action, identifying the collaborator of the user's in the cloud-enabled platform, whose remote client is to be synchronized with the data change as an update, and/or writing the action represented by the action log entry to a second database into a queue to by read by the remote client of the collaborator. | 05-16-2013 |
20130124638 | MANAGING UPDATES AT CLIENTS USED BY A USER TO ACCESS A CLOUD-BASED COLLABORATION SERVICE - System and method for managing updates at clients used by a user to access a cloud-based collaboration service are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for storing a representation of the action to queues of clients associated with the user in a distributed database cluster based on an action type of an action performed by a collaborator of the user. The clients of the user are selected based on the client category and the action type of the action, to receive a notification as a result of the action or to perform a synchronization with changes that occurred as a result of the action. | 05-16-2013 |
20130304694 | REPOSITORY REDUNDANCY IMPLEMENTATION OF A SYSTEM WHICH INCREMENTALLY UPDATES CLIENTS WITH EVENTS THAT OCCURRED VIA A CLOUD-ENABLED PLATFORM - Techniques are disclosed for implementing repository redundancy in a system which incrementally updates remote clients with events that occurred in a cloud-enabled platform. In one embodiment, a method comprises comparing a local timestamp of an event with a remote timestamp of the event. The event is to be stored in a queue in a repository cluster to be read by a remote client. The method further comprises updating the local timestamp of the event if the comparing indicates that the remote timestamp is more recent than the local timestamp. Among other advantages, embodiments disclosed herein ensure that no event in an action log is missed or skipped by any of remote clients in a distributed action log framework system during a switchover from an active but failed server to a backup server, and require zero or minimal down time during the switchover, thereby providing robustness and serviceability to such system. | 11-14-2013 |
