Filed:

Apr 3, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/397817

Inventors:

Mark Fitzpatrick - San Mateo CA, US
Anthony Siress - Mountain View CA, US

Assignee:

YOUnite, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 10, 707 9

Abstract:

A technique for distributed management of attributes includes propagating attributes based upon attribute-granularity permissions. An example of a system according to the technique may include a server, coupled to a first client and a second client, that includes a module that receives attribute data from the first client; a permissions database where first permissions associated with the first client are set at the individual attribute level for the second client; an engine for updating the permissions database and for validating the first permissions for the second client; and an engine for distributing first client updates based on validated permissions to destinations associated with the one or more second destination stores.

YOUnite, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709229, 707 10

Abstract:

A computer system and methods for creating an agency relationship among clients of a computer system with respect to personal privileged, or otherwise sensitive permissions and/or attributes, is described. The system and methods allow a querying client to obtain permission and/or attributes from a queried client, even if the queried client is unavailable.

Appl. No.:

12/793597

Inventors:

Anthony Siress - Mountain View CA, US
Mark Fitzpatrick - San Mateo CA, US

Assignee:

YOUnite, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707781, 709229

Abstract:

Granting permissions for attributes in a distributed data store involves implementing a federated control system. The system can include dynamic permissions granted to content blobs. Acknowledgment of dynamic permissions facilitates identification of users that receive content to enable restoring data on a machine following data loss. Acceptance of dynamic permissions can further facilitate automatic updates to data, or providing content blobs in response to changes in user attributes.

Inventors:

Anthony Siress - Mountain View CA, US
Mark Fitzpatrick - San Mateo CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707009000

Abstract:

Methods and systems are described for controlling query access to attributes associated with subscribers of a system. Permission setting variables are provided to allow subscribers considerable control over query access to attributes associated with the subscribers. A subscriber may manipulate one or more permission setting variables to control aspects of the response a querying party may receive when a query matches attributes associated with the subscriber. Advantages of the invention include flexible management of query access to subscriber information.

Inventors:

Mark Fitzpatrick - San Mateo CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 21/62

US Classification:

707784

Abstract:

A method may include: maintaining one or more attributes of a first user; maintaining a risk profile scheme configured by the first user, the risk profile scheme comprising a passive permission table indicating whether a second user has permission to the one or more attributes; allowing the first user to grant dynamic permissions to the second user to access the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme; allowing the first user to perform content blobulation of the one or more attributes; and allowing the first user to perform content reblobulation of the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme.
