Collaborative team crawling:Large scale information gathering over the internet

A distributed collection of web-crawlers to gather information over a large portion of the cyberspace. These crawlers share the overall crawling through a cyberspace partition scheme. They also collaborate with each other through load balancing to maximally utilize the computing resources of each of the crawlers. The invention takes advantage of the hierarchical nature of the cyberspace namespace and uses the syntactic components of the URL structure as the main vehicle for dividing and assigning crawling workload to individual crawler. The partition scheme is completely distributed in which each crawler makes the partitioning decision based on its own crawling status and a globally replicated partition tree data structure.

Systems and methods for displaying text recommendations during collaborative note taking

Multiple users access a collaborative data-sharing system during a data-sharing event. Each user can establish the level of sharing to be allowed with each other user and filtering criteria for filtering the data before it is provided to the other users. Data can be extracted from a number of different sources, including data input by other users and / or previously created information sources. For example, slides from a presentation on a similar topic may be identified and included by a user as a potential source of information to be used by other users. Shared data can be displayed on devices used by users to communicate with the collaborative data-sharing system. A user can selected data provided by the collaborative data-sharing system, which was obtained from the data input by other users and / or from the identified additional data sources and added to that user's data as data entered by that user.

Systems and methods for collaborative note-taking

Techniques are provided for determining collaborative notes and automatically recognizing speech, handwriting and other type of information. Domain and optional actor / speaker information associated with the support information is determined. An initial automatic speech recognition model is determined based on the domain and / or actor information. The domain and / or actor / speaker language model is used to recognize text in the speech information associated with the support information. Presentation support information such as slides, speaker notes and the like are determined. The semantic overlap between the support information and the salient non-function words in the recognized text and collaborative user feedback information are used to determine relevancy scores for the recognized text. Grammaticality, well formedness, self referential integrity and other features are used to determine correctness scores. Suggested collaborative notes are displayed in the user interface based on the salient non-function words. User actions in the user interface determine feedback signals. Recognition models such as automatic speech recognition, handwriting recognition are determined based on the feedback signals and the correctness and relevance scores.

Collaborative tablet computer

A section of a housing on a portable computing device is removed or folded away, thereby exposing a free edge of an LCD screen as well as electrical (data and power) connectors and structural connectors. Connectors are placed symmetrically across the exposed edge whereby a male connector on one side mates with a female connector on the other device. Two such devices are physically pushed together, with locking catches securing the two devices together. Upon docking, the two devices recognize the new configuration and re-map the desktop area of the display into a single display for the combined device. In a preferred embodiment, either a top edge or a side edge is selectively exposed independently on the same device, to mate two devices in either a portrait or landscape orientation.

Techniques for connectors in a system for collaborative work

Improved techniques for using connectors in a system for collaborative work for users unskilled in data processing techniques, including UI techniques. Data may be augmented by associating a connector query to obtain additional data and the data viewed in a “drill down” fashion, or by associating an additional resource for entering additional data by clicking on a link: the additional resource is created as needed and is a full-fledged resource of the system. A number of other connector queries may be combined into a single query that composes them, and information from different information sources may be combined easily, such as to make the form consistent; the information may also be transformed in a complex fashion. An alternative source for an information result may be used by a connector query to optimize performance, such as a cached result. A connector may be used to obtain information from resources created by other users within the system, and a connector may be used to obtain information from the resource in which it is used.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a collaborative-search system that facilitates performing collaborative searches. During operation, the collaborative-search system receives a first search request from a first user. The collaborative-search system then identifies a group of users who sent search requests that were similar to the first search request. Next, the collaborative-search system sends a notification to the first user that identifies the group of users that sent search requests that were similar to the first search request. If the collaborative-search system receives a request from the first user to view a search history for the group of users, the collaborative-search system sends the search history to the first user.

Conflict resolution for collaborative work system

Data objects replicated at multiple computers can be synchronized using synchronization messages exchanged over a network. The synchronization messages include a current operation parameter and a previous operation parameter that are processed to determine how and when the replicated data objects should be manipulated. The current operation parameter identifies an operation and associated data to be executed at a receiving computer to synchronize the receiving computer's data object. An execution stage parameter is also sent to identify a correct execution timing for the operation. The previous operation parameter identifies a preceding operation executed by the sending computer, an execution stage at which the preceding operation was executed, and the computer first originating the preceding operation (e.g., an identify of a third computer that first initiated the operation). Data in the synchronization message can also indicate a unique priority level of the sending computer with respect to the other computers.
