Brett Stone - Lehi UT, US
Scott Jackson - Everett WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

Abstract:

A method for multi-user CAx editing includes receiving a model of an engineering object, receiving a request to present a rendering of the model of the engineering object to a user on a display, determining viewing privileges of the user for the model of the engineering object, and rendering only those portions of the model of the engineering object on the display for which the user has viewing privileges. A computer program product such as a computer readable medium and a computer system corresponding to the above method are also disclosed herein.

G06F 3/0482
G06F 3/0484
H04L 12/58
G06F 17/50

Abstract:

A method for collaborative CAx editing includes presenting at least a portion of a model of an engineering object to a user, wherein the model of the engineering object comprises a geometric element, and detecting selection of the geometric element by the user. The method may also include enabling the user to participate in a chat group and view a task list corresponding to the geometric element in response to detecting selection of the geometric element by the user. In some embodiments, the geometric element is a part and selection of the geometric element by the user comprises opening the part for editing. In other embodiments, the geometric element is a feature and selection of the feature comprises accessing a feature tree. A corresponding computer program product and computer system is also disclosed herein.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for concurrent design and analysis of an engineering object may include (1) storing a geometric model of an engineering object, the geometric model including control points and analysis nodes derived from the control points, (2) enabling an analysis user to view the geometric model and perform analysis operations on analysis nodes, (3) enabling a CAD user to view the geometric model and edit a control point, and (4) updating the view of the geometric model provided to the CAD user and the analysis user according to the edit performed on the control point. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed herein.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06

US Classification:

705 714

Abstract:

An apparatus, method, and computer program product are disclosed for optimizing organization and management of teams. A data module collects activity data for a user, which is associated with the user's operation of a computer application. A profile module updates a profile for the user in response to the activity data, and a team module selects the user to be a member of a team based on the user's profile. A team includes a plurality of users combined to perform a task.

US Classification:

345 22

Abstract:

A method for selecting a view of a graphical rendering of an object may include (1) rendering an object according to a first view on a first display corresponding to a first user, (2) receiving information regarding a second view of the object on a second display corresponding to a second user, (3) displaying an interface element corresponding to the second view on the first display, (4) rendering the second view of the object on the first display in response to selection of the interface element corresponding to the second view. Various other systems, apparatus, and computer-readable media corresponding to the above method are also disclosed herein.
