20110145282 | UTILIZING VIRTUAL FOLDERS - A system and method utilizing virtual folders. The virtual folders expose regular files and folders to users in different views based on their metadata instead of the actual physical underlying file system structure on the disk. The virtual folders contain collections of items. The system includes a folder processor that obtains queries from a user and a relational database for storing information about the items. The folder processor first obtains a query from a user and passes the query to the relational database. The relational database provides results back to the folder processor, and based on the results from the relational database, the folder processor provides the results to the user as virtual folders. Users are able to work with the virtual folders through direct manipulation (e.g., clicking and dragging, copying, pasting, etc.). | 06-16-2011 |
20130007371 | Browser Storage Management - Browser storage management techniques are described.

20120016901 | Data Storage and Processing Service - In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods systems, and program products. A request to store data is received. The data is stored as an object in a repository. A request to create a table is received, where the request identifies a name for the table. The table is created with the name. A request to import the data into the table is received. The data is imported into the table, where importing the data in the object into the table includes converting the data in the object into columnar stripes, and storing the columnar stripes in association with the table. A request to perform a query on the table is received, where the request includes the query and identifies the table. The query is performed on the table, where performing the query includes querying one or more of the columnar stripes. | 01-19-2012 |
20120266099 | VIRTUAL ADDRESS BAR USER INTERFACE CONTROL - A virtual address bar user interface control is presented. The virtual address bar comprises one or more interactive address segments and one or more conventional address segments. Each interactive address segment corresponds to a predefined filter comprising selection criteria applied to content stored on a storage device. Selection of the one or more interactive address segments navigates a user to content satisfying the predefined filters of the one or more selected interactive address segments. Each conventional address segment references content at the content's particular location on the storage device. Selection of the one or more conventional address segments navigates the user to content at the content's particular location. | 10-18-2012 |
20130124466 | Data Processing Service - In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A computing system receives a first request to insert one or more first data values into a database table. The computing system identifies that first data stored by the database table is stored in a first logical partition of a logical collection of data. The logical collection of data is designated for replication among multiple data centers such that a copy of the logical collection of data is designated to be stored by each of the multiple data centers. The logical collection of data is logically partitioned into multiple logical partitions which together comprise the logical collection of data. The computing system sends, by the computing system and to the first data center, the first request to insert the one or more first data values into the database table. | 05-16-2013 |
20130124467 | Data Processing Service - In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A system includes a first data center, a second data center, and a third data center. The multiple data centers are configured to replicate a logical collection of data that comprises multiple logical partitions of data. The system comprises a first writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a first logical partition of data that is stored by the first data center. The system comprises a second writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a second logical partition of data that is stored by the second data center. The system comprises a third writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a third logical partition of data that is stored by the third data center. | 05-16-2013 |
20130263060 | VIRTUAL ADDRESS BAR USER INTERFACE CONTROL - A virtual address bar user interface control is presented. The virtual address bar comprises an interactive address segment and a conventional address segment. The interactive address segment corresponds to a predefined filter comprising selection criteria applied to content stored on a storage device. Selection of the interactive address segment causes content satisfying the predefined filter to be displayed. The conventional address segment references content at the content's particular location within a hierarchical file system structure on the storage device. Selection of the conventional address segment causes the content stored at the particular location to be displayed. | 10-03-2013 |
20150193504 | Data Processing Service - In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A system includes a first data center, a second data center, and a third data center. The multiple data centers are configured to replicate a logical collection of data that comprises multiple logical partitions of data. The system comprises a first writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a first logical partition of data that is stored by the first data center. The system comprises a second writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a second logical partition of data that is stored by the second data center. The system comprises a third writing subsystem that is designated to write updates to a copy of a third logical partition of data that is stored by the third data center. | 07-09-2015 |

20090177790 | CONFIGURATION OF A PEER GROUP - Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for configuring computing devices to join a peer group. A peer group may be created on a subnetwork by a computing device. When a new computing device enters the subnetwork, it may join the peer group and be given access to the shared resources on the peer group and associated computing devices, using a communications layer and an authorization layer. Allowing a new computing device to join a peer group includes inviting the new device to join and then challenging the device for a passkey of the peer group. After joining the peer group, the computing device will be able to access and share resources with the peer group and other computing devices associated with the peer group. | 07-09-2009 |
