Appl. No.:

12/562034

Inventors:

Cameron Blair Cooper - Austin TX, US
Christopher Lee Richter - Cedar Park TX, US

Assignee:

Socialware, Inc. - Austin TX

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 4, 726 28, 713153

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system, method, and computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions for secure communication among enterprise users who are members of social networking sites. Software implemented on a server within the enterprise that handles all traffic to and from the social networking sites may encrypt a post intended for a social networking site and forward the encrypted data or may save the post locally and send a placeholder to the social networking site. The server may receive a request containing the encrypted data or placeholder and determine that the recipient is authorized to view the original post. The server may then decrypt the data or retrieve the original post for servicing the request. In this way, authorized users of the enterprise can utilize the social networking site, which is independent of and external to the enterprise, to communicate with each other in a secure manner.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709223, 709229

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system, method, and computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions for implementing a Socialware architecture encompassing a suite of applications for continuously and adaptively monitoring and filtering traffic to and from social networking sites, particularly useful in an enterprise computing environment. In some embodiments, an appliance may be coupled to a proxy server for providing a plurality of Socialware services, including analyzing, logging, and reporting on traffic to and from social networking sites. Some embodiments may allow a user to report, identify, and prevent malicious and potentially malicious content and/or activity by another user. Some embodiments may encrypt outgoing traffic to and decrypt incoming traffic from social networking sites. Some embodiments may provide an enterprise user to define and restrict certain social networking activities outside of the enterprise computing environment.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/08

Abstract:

A shipping management system comprises a memory configured with a set of carrier-specific mapping rules for a plurality of carriers. The system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a set of instructions executable by a processor to: apply carrier-specific mapping rules to carrier-specific records received from the respective carrier to map status codes or descriptions in the carrier-specific records from the respective carrier to generate normalized shipping information for shipments, the normalized shipping information comprising normalized status codes; store the normalized shipping information in association with the user account; receive a request for shipments associated with the user account; and generate an unified view user interface to present a unified view of shipments associated with the user account, the unified view comprising normalized statuses or descriptions for shipments across the plurality of carriers and controls to allow a user to request additional data on individual shipments.
