20160092324 | FAST SINGLE-MASTER FAILOVER - Techniques for switching mastership from one service in a first data center to a second (redundant) service in a second data center are provided. A service coordinator in the first data center is notified about the master switch. The service coordinator notifies each instance of the first service that the first service is not a master. Each instance responds with an acknowledgement. After it is confirmed that all instances of the first service have responded with an acknowledgement, a client coordinator in the first and/or second data center is updated to indicate that the second service is the master so that clients may send requests to the second service. Also, a service coordinator in the second data center is notified that the second service is the master. The service coordinator notifies each instance of the second service that the second service is the master. Each instance responds with an acknowledgement. | 03-31-2016 |

20130080342 | Preservation of Documents in a Hosted User Environment - Organizations struggle to meet their obligation to preserve electronic documents when litigation occurs or is likely. This is particularly challenging in a hosted user environment using a distributed file system. Embodiments of the invention enable a user to preserve email, chats, text documents, and other electronic files in the native storage systems of these applications, or in a hosted eDiscovery archive that syncs with the native store. In an embodiment, the process uses a label to indicate that a particular document should not be deleted. When purging tasks occur, the documents with such labels are exempt from purging until the label is removed. Search queries may also be run on the documents in their native locations to identify those relevant to a litigation hold. Because the system operates on the native document store, a user is not required to create a copy of the document in order to preserve it. | 03-28-2013 |

20140250114 | AGGREGATING SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM USER INFORMATION FOR TIMELINE VIEW - The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and can then determine a quantity of timeline for display in the timeline view and select them based at least in part on the ranking. The units then are used to generate a timeline view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. | 09-04-2014 |
20140250136 | TIMELINE VIEW FILTERED BY PERMISSIONS AND AFFINITY TO VIEWER - The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline or map view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on whether the viewing user has permission to view them. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and are used to generate a timeline for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by time. The timeline view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user. | 09-04-2014 |
20140258282 | AGGREGATING SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM USER INFORMATION FOR DIVERSIFIED TIMELINE VIEW - The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and a diversity policy is applied to prevent overrepresentation of timeline unit type(s). The timeline units are used to generate a timeline view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. The timeline view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user. | 09-11-2014 |
