International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707636, 707770, 370342, 375152

Abstract:

A data store is distributed between a server and a client. The distributed data store includes global data. A transformation is applied to the global data to generate client-specific data based on the global data. The client-specific data is stored on the client which uses the client-specific data to perform tasks relating to the client-specific data.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707713, 707802

Abstract:

Querying data stores in a federation of data stores. A first search filter is accessed. The first search filter is constructed with one or more nested logical AND, OR, or NOT operands. The first search filter is normalized to a normalized search filter that is logically equivalent to the first search filter. The normalized search filter includes 3 or 4 levels. All first level operands are logically ORed. All second level operands are logically ANDed. All third level operands are at least one of parameters or logical NOTs. Any fourth level operands are parameters. The normalized search filter is used to search a plurality of data stores in a federation of data stores for information by searching different data stores for at least two or more of the top level operands.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 12/18
G06Q 10/10

Abstract:

An online meeting system begins the process of connecting a user to an online meeting when the user enters a prejoin dialog for choosing meeting settings, rather than waiting until the user chooses to actually join the meeting after entering settings. Starting the meeting connection process at this time allows a shorter perceived connection time to the meeting and thus reduces user frustration with the meeting system.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for enabling the migration of data with minimized impact on consumers of the data. A data migration agent updates pointers to active data locations and coordinates a migration from a first data resource to a second data resource so that seamless migration may be carried out. A data access layer of a distributed computing environment can take advantage of the pointers and metadata written by the data migration agent to serve requests to resources of the distributed computing environment so that read availability is available regardless of migration status.
