Abstract:

A method for editing and updating content of a collaborative document within a preview user interface is provided. The method includes receiving, by a content management platform, a request for a document stored within the content management platform in a format of a first application, wherein the request is received from a client device of a first user of the content management platform via a second application that is different from the first application, and wherein the document includes a first comment provided by a second user of the content management platform at a first point in time with respect to a first portion of the collaborative document. The method further includes causing a rendered graphical image of the document to be presented within a preview user interface provided by the second application, receiving content associated with a second comment, wherein the second comment is provided by the first user at a second point in time with respect to a second portion of the document via the preview user interface provided by the second application, and generating, by the content management platform, a new version of the document, wherein the new version of the document has the format of the first application, and includes the first comment with corresponding first attributes and the second comment with corresponding second attributes, wherein the corresponding first attributes identify the first portion of the document, the second user and the first point in time, and wherein the corresponding second attributes identify the second portion of the document, the first user and the second point in time.

H04L 12/18

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for performing automated collaboration is provided. Automated collaboration may include identifying a first document generated by a first user using a networked application, identifying a collaborative similarity between the first document and a second document generated by a second user, generating a collaboration suggestion based on the collaborative similarity, transmitting the collaboration suggestion to the first user via the networked application, and initiating a collaboration session between the first user and the second user. The collaborative similarity may be identified based on a similarity between content of the first document and content of the second document, based on a similarity between information associated with the first document and information associated with the second document, or based on a combination of content and associated information similarities.

International Classification:

G06F 17/24
G06F 17/00

Abstract:

Techniques are shown for enabling a network system to receive collaborative edits from users at a first front end URL, and receive viewing requests from users at a second front end URL. The edits are processed using operational transformation techniques and stored as sets of edits. Multiple pluggable flattening utilities retrieve the sets of edits and convert them into structured data documents specifically tailored for different client devices or online services. The structured data documents are stored and retrieved by rendering servers upon receiving viewing requests. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
