Advancements in computing devices and networking technology have given rise to a variety of innovations in cloud-based digital content storage and sharing. For example, online digital content systems can provide access to digital content items across devices all over the world. Existing systems can also synchronize changes to shared digital content across different types of devices operating on different platforms. Indeed, modern online digital content systems can provide access to digital content for users to collaborate across diverse physical locations and over a variety of computing devices. Despite these advances, however, existing digital content systems continue to suffer from a number of disadvantages, particularly in terms of flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency.
As just suggested, some existing digital content systems are inflexible. More specifically, certain existing systems rigidly adhere to a folder-based paradigm to organize content items. Indeed, the prevailing organizational structure of most existing systems is to use hierarchically arranged folders to store content items such as digital images, documents, and other file types. While such an organizational structure does afford some measure of consistency and familiarity, it also prevents systems from flexibly adapting digital content organization to fit user account preferences on an individual basis and/or as user account preferences change over time (or even between sessions). Consequently, many existing systems that adopt the folder-based hierarchy are incapable of adapting to other ways of organizing content items that may be better suited for modern applications and use cases, particularly in digital content creation.
As further suggested, existing digital content systems are sometimes inaccurate. In particular, because many existing systems are tied to folder-based organization, such systems often generate many duplicates of content items when using various applications to modify or organize the content items. For example, existing systems often use a content modification application or a content organization application as a layer for engaging with content items stored within folders. However, using these application layers to modify and organize digital content often requires generating duplicates of content items (rather than manipulating an original version of a content item) which can become disorganized (and which wastes storage resources). As a result, there is often no single source of truth for content items within existing systems, which leads to ambiguity and inaccuracy.
Due at least in part to their inaccuracy, many existing digital content systems are inefficient. To elaborate, as a result of not having a single source of truth for managing and modifying digital content, existing folder hierarchy systems sometimes waste computer memory and storage resources by generating excessive content item duplicates. In addition, the folder-based organizational paradigm of many existing systems results in inefficient user interfaces that require onerous numbers of user interactions to access and/or organize content items. Indeed, researchers have demonstrated that, in existing folder-based systems, the number of interactions (and the corresponding time) to retrieve digital content is substantial only growing as more of life moves online and the volume of digital content stored in cloud-based content management systems increases. Mitigating at least some of the burden of accessing content items often requires organization on the part of individual user accounts to place content items into respective folders, but even these organizational steps take a substantial number of user interactions (and a long time). Processing the excessive numbers of user interactions involved in existing systems (e.g., in accessing and/or organizing content items) consumes computing resources such as processing power and memory that could otherwise be preserved with more efficient systems and/or user interfaces.
Thus, there are several disadvantages with regard to existing digital content systems.
This disclosure describes one or more embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media that provide benefits and/or solve one or more of the foregoing and other problems in the art. For instance, the disclosed systems provide a new method for generating, arranging, and providing content collections for user accounts. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a subgrouping from a content collection by using dynamic facets corresponding to content attributes associated with content items of the content collection. For example, the disclosed systems generate dynamic facets reflecting content attributes, where the dynamic facets are selectable interface elements for arranging content items into subgroups. In certain cases, as part of generating a subgrouping of content items, the disclosed systems can identify portions of content items (e.g., segments of a digital video or sections of a digital document) that correspond to a dynamic facet. The disclosed systems can also provide filtering options for creating or refining subgroupings from a content collection by, for example, filtering according to recency criteria such as file type, recency of interaction, collaborative user accounts, or others.
Additional features of the disclosed systems are described below.
This disclosure will describe one or more example implementations of the systems and methods with additional specificity and detail by referencing the accompanying figures. The following paragraphs briefly describe those figures, in which:
This disclosure describes one or more embodiments of a smart organization system that can utilize advanced content synthesis to automatically and intelligently organize content items of a content collection. In particular, the smart organization system can arrange or organize content items from a content collection (e.g., within a cloud-based content management system) according to dynamic facets and/or filtering criteria. For example, the smart organization system can generate and utilize dynamic facets for organizing content items into subgroupings based on content attributes. Specifically, the smart organization system can generate dynamic facets utilizing machine learning techniques to predict topics (or other content attributes) associated with content items of a content collection and generate dynamic facets to reflect the content attributes (and for user selection to organize the content items). In addition, the smart organization system can utilize filter options for creating or refining subgroupings of content collections by organizing content items according to certain filtering categories.
As just mentioned, the smart organization system can generate dynamic facets for organizing content items. More particularly, the smart organization system can determine content attributes associated with content items of a content collection (e.g., a content collection associated with a user account of a content management system). The content attributes can reflect key phrases, depicted objects, topics, themes, or other attributes associated with content items. In some cases, the smart organization system utilizes one or more machine learning models to determine or predict content attributes from content items. In these or other cases, the smart organization system further utilizes a dynamic facet generator model (e.g., a dynamic facet machine learning model) to generate dynamic facets from the content attributes.
As also mentioned, the smart organization system can utilize dynamic facets to group, arrange, or organize content items into subgroupings (e.g., subgroupings of a content collection). Specifically, the smart organization system can receive an indication of user interaction selecting a dynamic facet from a smart organization interface and can generate a subgrouping of content items corresponding to the dynamic facet (or corresponding to the content attribute of the dynamic facet). As part of generating a content subgrouping, in some embodiments, the smart organization system identifies and provides portions of content items (as opposed to complete or entire content items). To elaborate, the smart organization system identifies segments, portions, sections, or parts of content items that correspond to a selected dynamic facet, and the smart organization system provides the identified portions as part of a subgrouping (e.g., excluding other portions not related to the dynamic facet). The smart organization system can further generate a new content collection from a subgrouping (e.g., automatically without user input instigating the generation of the subgrouping or in response to user interaction selecting a collection creation option).
In one or more embodiments, the smart organization system can not only utilize dynamic facets for generating subgroupings but can also (or alternatively) utilize filtering options. For instance, the smart organization system can provide selectable filter options to filter content items according to filtering categories such as theme, file type, recency, and collaborative co-user accounts. Based on user interaction selecting one or more filtering criteria from a filtering category, the smart organization system can refine or modify a subgrouping to include content items that satisfy the filtering criteria (and exclude content items that do not).
In a similar fashion, the smart organization system can update, refine, or modify a subgrouping based on user selection of additional dynamic facets. For instance, based on generating a subgrouping in response to user selection of a first dynamic facet, the smart organization system can generate an updated set of dynamic facets to display for user selection and that reflect content attributes of the subgrouping. In addition, the smart organization system can receive a user selection of a second dynamic facet from the updated set, and the smart organization system can generate a modified subgrouping by identifying content items that correspond to the content attributes of both the first dynamic facet and the second dynamic facet (and excluding other content items).
As suggested above, the smart organization system can provide several improvements or advantages over existing digital content systems. For example, some embodiments of the smart organization system can improve flexibility over prior systems. As opposed to existing systems that rigidly adhere to hierarchical folder structures, the smart organization system can organize content collections into subgroupings according to content attributes, based on dynamic facets and/or filtering criteria. As a result, the smart organization system can provide more flexible, modifiable content organization tailored for specific use cases (such as content generation), topics, or other domains. Indeed, the smart organization system can adapt the organization of content collections for individual user accounts according to changing user preferences, rather than perpetually maintaining the same rigid folder structure across all user accounts.
In addition to improving flexibility over prior digital content systems, the smart organization system can also improve accuracy. To elaborate, rather than creating ambiguity through generating duplicate content items through modifying or organizing content items using different applications, the smart organization system can maintain a single source of truth for a content item. Indeed, the smart organization system can utilize a content collection for a user account as a source of truth for content items within the content collection. Upon generating a subgrouping, the smart organization system can include (within the subgrouping) links, pointers, or references to the content items of the subgrouping that indicate (network locations of) corresponding content items within the content collection (without necessarily creating duplicate copies of the content items).
Due at least in part to improving accuracy over prior digital content systems, the smart organization system can also improve efficiency over such systems. For example, by mitigating or reducing the ambiguity of duplicate content items, the smart organization system can save storage resources that prior systems waste maintaining duplicative content. As another example, the smart organization system can provide more efficient user interfaces (e.g., a smart organization interface) that reduces the number of user interactions required to access desired data or functionality. Specifically, the smart organization system provides a smart organization interface that includes dynamic facets that reduce the number of user interactions for locating, accessing, and manipulating content items. Compared to prior systems that require user interaction to drill down through nested folders in a hierarchy and/or that require many user interactions to organize content items into respective folders, the smart organization system provides dynamic facets that, upon selection, cause the smart organization system to intelligently surface corresponding content items from a single source of truth (e.g., the content collection). Consequently, the smart organization system further saves computing resources that prior systems expend processing their larger numbers of user interactions for accessing or organizing content items.
As illustrated by the foregoing discussion, the present disclosure utilizes a variety of terms to describe features and benefits of the smart organization system. Additional detail is hereafter provided regarding the meaning of these terms as used in this disclosure. As used herein, the term “digital content item” (or simply “content item”) refers to a digital object or a digital file that includes information interpretable by a computing device (e.g., a client device) to present information to a user. A digital content item can include a file such as a digital text file, a digital image file, a digital audio file, a webpage, a website, a digital video file, a web file, a link, a digital document file, or some other type of file or digital object. A digital content item can have a particular file type or file format, which may differ for different types of digital content items (e.g., digital documents. digital images, digital videos, or digital audio files). In some cases, a digital content item can refer to a remotely stored (e.g., cloud-based) item or a link (e.g., a link to a cloud-based item or a web-based content item) and/or a content clip that indicates (or links) a discrete selection or segmented portion of content from a webpage or some other content item or source. A digital content item can be editable or otherwise modifiable and can also be sharable from one user account (or client device) to another. In some cases, a digital content item is modifiable by multiple user accounts (or client devices) simultaneously and/or at different times.
Relatedly, the term “content collection” refers to a collection or grouping of content items. For example, a content collection includes content items stored in a common location on a device or a common cloud-based network location, such as a file or folder. In some cases, a content collection includes content items arranged together or otherwise associated with one another while stored in different locations. For instance, a content collection can refer to a grouping of content items associated with a user account of a content management system. In some embodiments, a content collection can include additional content collections therein, each containing different content items.
To generate a synthetic visualization, as mentioned, the smart organization system can generate and utilize content features for a content collection. As used herein, the term “content attribute” refers to a representation of an attribute, a feature, or a characteristic extracted from, or determined for, a content item or a content collection. For example, a content attribute can refer to an indication or a (numerical or mathematical) representation of an attribute associated with a content item. In some embodiments, a content attribute refers to a descriptive attribute that represents characteristics describing a content item. Descriptive attributes can include or indicate visual or non-visual attributes such as colors, objects, people, file types, text characters, layouts, topics, themes, key phrases, creator accounts, geotags, timestamps, and/or collaborative co-user accounts depicted in otherwise associated with a content item. In one or more embodiments, a content attribute refers to a relevance attribute that indicates a measure of relevance of the at least one content item to a user account within a content management system. For example, relevance attributes can include or indicate measures of relevance with respect to a user account within a content management system based on historical interactions of the user account (or co-user accounts) with content items.
As mentioned, the smart organization system can generate and utilize dynamic facets for organizing content items. As used herein, the term “dynamic facet” refers to a user interface element selectable to organize content items into subgroupings. In particular, a dynamic facet can represent or reflect one or more content attributes and can be selectable to generate a content subgrouping that includes content items corresponding to the one or more content attributes. In some cases, a dynamic facet refers to a machine-learning-generated element that corresponds to content items within a content collection or a subgrouping of a content collection.
As mentioned above, the smart organization system can generate dynamic facets using one or more machine learning models. As used herein, the term “machine learning model” refers to a computer algorithm or a collection of computer algorithms that automatically improve for a particular task through iterative outputs or predictions based on use of data. For example, a machine learning model can utilize one or more learning techniques to improve in accuracy and/or effectiveness. Example machine learning models include various types of neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, linear regression models, and Bayesian networks. As described in further detail below, the smart organization system utilizes a “content attribute machine learning model” such as a neural network to generate or predict content attributes from content items of a content collection or a subgrouping. In addition, the smart organization system utilizes a “dynamic facet machine learning model” such as a neural network to generate or predict dynamic facets from content attributes associated with a content collection or a subgrouping.
Relatedly, the term “neural network” refers to a machine learning model that can be trained and/or tuned based on inputs to determine classifications, scores, or approximate unknown functions. For example, a neural network includes a model of interconnected artificial neurons (e.g., organized in layers) that communicate and learn to approximate complex functions and generate outputs (e.g., generated recommendation scores) based on a plurality of inputs provided to the neural network. In some cases, a neural network refers to an algorithm (or set of algorithms) that implements deep learning techniques to model high-level abstractions in data. A neural network can include various layers such as an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer that each perform tasks for processing data. For example, a neural network can include a deep neural network, a convolutional neural network, a recurrent neural network (e.g., an LSTM), a graph neural network, or a generative adversarial neural network. Upon training as described below, such a neural network may become a content attribute neural network or a dynamic facet neural network.
As mentioned, in some embodiments, the smart organization system can generate or update subgroupings according to filter options. As used herein, a “filter option” can refer to a selectable user interface element for filtering content items (e.g., within a content collection or a subgrouping) based on a corresponding filtering category. A filtering category can refer to a genre or a domain of content filtering, such as “theme,” “file type,” “recency,” or “collaborators.” In some cases, a filtering category can be based on content attributes (to organize content items in conjunction with dynamic facets) and can include a collection of filtering criteria that make up the category. For example, the filtering category of “file type” can include filtering criteria corresponding to individual file types, such as “documents,” “images,” “videos,” “presentations,” or “audio.”
As used herein, the term “application session” (or sometimes simply “session”) refers to an instance of use within a client application or within a particular collection or folder or content item using a client application. For example, an application session refers a set of activities performed within a single login of a client application or an application of a content management system. As another example, an application session refers to a set of activities performed within a single visit of an application or a single access of a content collection or folder. In some cases, a session requires a login while in other cases, a session does not require a login and instead indicates an instance of use between closures or terminations (of an application or webpage) or between visits that are at least a threshold period of time apart (or separated by a device power off or sleep mode).
Additional detail regarding the smart organization system will now be provided with reference to the figures. For example,
As shown, the environment includes server(s) 104, a client device 108, a database 114, and a network 112. Each of the components of the environment can communicate via the network 112, and the network 112 may be any suitable network over which computing devices can communicate. Example networks are discussed in more detail below in relation to
As mentioned above, the example environment includes a client device 108. The client device 108 can be one of a variety of computing devices, including a smartphone, a tablet, a smart television, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a virtual reality device, an augmented reality device, or another computing device as described in relation to
As shown, the client device 108 can include a client application 110. In particular, the client application 110 may be a web application, a native application installed on the client device 108 (e.g., a mobile application, a desktop application, etc.), or a cloud-based application where all or part of the functionality is performed by the server(s) 104. Based on instructions from the client application 110, the client device 108 can present or display information, including a user interface such as a smart organization interface that includes depictions of content items in a collection or a subgrouping, along with filter options and dynamic facets.
As illustrated in
As shown in
Although
In some implementations, though not illustrated in
As mentioned above, the smart organization system 102 can intelligently organize content items utilizing smart organizational tools called dynamic facets. In particular, the smart organization system 102 can generate dynamic facets from content items and can utilize the dynamic facets to further organize or arrange the content items into subgroupings.
As illustrated in
As further illustrated in
Based on determining content attributes, the smart organization system 102 further generates dynamic facets corresponding to a content collection. To elaborate, the smart organization system 102 determines a measure of prominence or prevalence for content attributes within a content collection. For instance, the smart organization system 102 determines a measure of prominence or prevalence by identifying content attributes that are more or less common within a content collection. Indeed, the smart organization system 102 determines content attributes that are shared by multiple content items within the content collection. In some cases, to generate a dynamic facet, the smart organization system 102 determines content attributes shared by at least a threshold number of content items.
Additionally, the smart organization system 102 can determine relevance of content attributes in relation to a user account (e.g., based on historical activity of the user account). Based on relevance and/or prominence (or other factors) of content attributes, the smart organization system 102 can generate a dynamic facet as an interface element that reflects or represents one or more content attributes associated with a content collection. In these or other cases, the smart organization system 102 utilizes a dynamic facet machine learning model to generate dynamic facets from content attributes. Additional detail regarding generating dynamic facets is provided below with reference to subsequent figures.
Additionally, the smart organization system 102 performs an act 206 to provide the dynamic facets. In particular, the smart organization system 102 provides the dynamic facets for display within a user interface (e.g., a smart organization interface) on the client device 108. In some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 selects a set of dynamic facets that satisfy a threshold relevance in relation to a user account. In these or other embodiments, the smart organization system 102 selects dynamic facets that satisfy a threshold measure of prominence (or whose content attributes satisfy a threshold measure of prominence). In certain cases, the smart organization system 102 also (or alternatively) ranks dynamic facets according to relevance and/or prominence using a rule-based heuristic. As shown, the smart organization system 102 can generate dynamic facets that reflect words or phrases and/or that reflect images or objects selectable to view a subgrouping of content items depicting similar images or objects. The smart organization system 102 further provides selected (and/or ranked) dynamic facets for display within a smart organization interface (e.g., with higher ranked dynamic facets appearing first in a list of facets).
As further illustrated in
As further shown, the smart organization system 102 performs an act 210 to generate a subgrouping of content items. In particular, the smart organization system 102 generates a subgrouping based on one or more dynamic facets and/or filter options. For example, the smart organization system 102 generates a subgrouping of content items by selecting, from a content collection, content items that correspond to content attributes of a dynamic facet selected via user interaction. In some cases, the smart organization system 102 generates a subgrouping based on user selection of multiple dynamic facets. The smart organization system 102 can also refine or update a subgrouping based on filter options and/or additional dynamic facets (e.g., by excluding content items that do not satisfy filtering criteria and/or that do not corresponding to a selected dynamic facet). Based on generating a subgrouping, the smart organization system 102 can further generate an updated set of dynamic facets corresponding to the subgrouping (e.g., by repeating the act 204 for the subgrouping).
As further illustrated in
Using the described subgrouping techniques, the smart organization system 102 can facilitate multiple collaborative co-user accounts (or multiple client devices) interacting with the same subgroupings simultaneously or contemporaneously. For example, the smart organization system 102 can provide a smart organization interface on a first client device and a second client device, where each device can provide inputs for generating and modifying a subgrouping based on dynamic facets and filter options (e.g., using the smart organization interfaces described below). In a similar vein, the smart organization system 102 can also facilitate sharing subgroupings with other co-user accounts of the content management system 106 (or even outside of the content management system 106).
As mentioned above, in certain described embodiments, the smart organization system 102 generates and provides a smart organization interface for display on a client device (e.g., the client device 108). In particular, the smart organization system 102 provides a smart organization interface for presenting subgroupings of content items from a content collection.
As illustrated in
Further, the smart organization system 102 provides, within the smart organization interface 302, a set of dynamic facets 306 corresponding to the content items 308 of Collection A. For example, the smart organization system 102 analyzes the content items 308 to determine content attributes. From the content attributes of the content items 308, the smart organization system 102 further generates the dynamic facets 306. Specifically, the smart organization system 102 generates the dynamic facets 306 to represent content attributes using key phrases, images, or other visual representations of content attributes. As shown, the dynamic facets 306 represent or reflect (using key phrases) content attributes such as topics or themes found among the content items 308 of with Collection A, such as “Brand,” “Logo,” “Kickoff,” and “Project.”
As mentioned, the smart organization system 102 can modify a smart organization interface based on user interaction selecting a dynamic facet. In particular, the smart organization system 102 can generate a subgrouping of content items from a content collection to present in response to user interaction selecting a dynamic facet from within a smart organization interface.
As illustrated in
As further illustrated in
In some cases, the subgrouping 410 is temporary and not necessarily stored in a database (e.g., the database 114) or within the content management system 106. Indeed, the smart organization system 102 treats the subgrouping 410 as ephemeral and only available within the smart organization interface 402. Upon selection of the collection creation option 412, however, the smart organization system 102 stores the subgrouping 410 to assign the subgrouping 410 to the user account within the content management system 106. For instance, the smart organization system 102 assigns memory within the content management system 106 (e.g., within a network database) to store copies of, or links to, content items included within the subgrouping 410. The smart organization system 102 further makes the new content collection for the subgrouping 410 available for access via various content management interfaces and across client devices of the user account.
In certain embodiments, the smart organization system 102 further refines, modifies, or updates a subgrouping (or generates a new subgrouping) based on filter options. In particular, the smart organization system 102 identifies one or more filtering criteria based on user selection and further filters out content items that do not satisfy the filtering criteria.
As illustrated in
The smart organization system 102 can further filter content items based on other filter options as well. For instance, the smart organization system 102 can expand a filter option for the recency option to filter by various recency criteria. Specifically, the smart organization system 102 can filter content items by including only content items with which the user account has interacted within a threshold recency (e.g., the past hour, day, or week). In these or other embodiments, the smart organization system 102 can filter according to recency relative to filtering criteria indicating specific user account activity, such as filtering according to recent selections, recent shares, recent comments, recent modifications, or other recent activity.
Further, the smart organization system 102 can filter according to the collaborators filter option. For example, the smart organization system 102 can expand the collaborators filter option to present collaborators filtering criteria. In some cases, the collaborators filtering criteria can include user account identifiers for collaborative co-user accounts (within the content management system 106). Thus, based on user selection of one or more collaborative co-user accounts, the smart organization system 102 filters content items from a subgrouping (e.g., the subgrouping 410) to modify the subgrouping or to generate a new subgrouping.
Additionally, the smart organization system 102 can utilize other filtering options as well (or in the alternative). For example, the smart organization system 102 can filter content items according to a theme filter option. To elaborate, the smart organization system 102 can provide a theme filter option for display within the smart organization interface 502. In response to user selection of the theme filter option, the smart organization system 102 expands the filter option to present theme filtering criteria. For instance, the theme filtering criteria can include themes such as “work,” “personal,” “shared,” “school,” or other themes associated with content items. Based on selection of one or more theme filtering criteria, the smart organization system 102 modifies a subgrouping by removing content items that do not satisfy the criteria.
As mentioned above, in certain embodiments, the smart organization system 102 generates a subgrouping based on filtering options and dynamic facets together. In particular, the smart organization system 102 generates a modified subgrouping (from a subgrouping or a dynamic facet) by filtering out content items that do not satisfy one or more filtering criteria. FIG. 6 illustrates an example smart organization interface presenting a modified subgrouping in accordance with one or more embodiments.
As illustrated in
Based on the filtering criteria of the filter option 604, the smart organization system 102 generates the modified subgrouping 608. More specifically, the smart organization system 102 updates or modifies the subgrouping of the dynamic facet 606 to include only content items that not only correspond to the dynamic facet 606 (or to the content attribute of the dynamic facet 606) but that also satisfy the filtering criteria of the filter option 604. For instance, the smart organization system 102 identifies or selects (to include within the modified subgrouping 608) content items that are digital documents or digital presentations and that correspond to the “Kickoff” topic. As shown, the modified subgrouping 608 includes 17 files (from the 178 of the subgrouping 410). As also shown, the smart organization interface 602 also includes a collection creation option 610 for creating a new content collection from the modified subgrouping 608 as displayed.
As mentioned, in some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 can modify a subgrouping based on selection of one or more additional dynamic facets. In particular, the smart organization system 102 can receive a selection of an additional dynamic facet to generate a modified subgrouping that includes content items corresponding to a first dynamic facet and the additional dynamic facet.
As illustrated in
In addition, the smart organization systems 102 receives a selection of filtering criteria from the filter option 704 to generate a modified subgrouping (e.g., the subgrouping 608) of content items that satisfy the filtering criteria. In some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 further generates updates the dynamic facets to generate a new set based on the subgrouping of content items that satisfy the filtering criteria. Further, the smart organization system 102 receives a selection of the dynamic facet 706 (“Copy”) included among the updated set of dynamic facets for the modified subgrouping. In turn, the smart organization system 102 further modifies the subgrouping to include only content items that correspond to the dynamic facet 706 in addition to the dynamic facet 708 and that satisfy the filtering criteria of the filter option 704. As shown, the modified subgrouping 710 includes 6 files from among the 17 files within the modified subgrouping 608. Additionally, the smart organization interface 702 includes a collection creation interface 712 selectable to create a new content collection from the modified subgrouping 710.
As mentioned, in certain described embodiments, the smart organization system 102 further refines a subgrouping based on additional dynamic facets and/or filtering criteria. For example, the smart organization system 102 receives further interaction to select filtering criteria from additional or alternative filter options.
As illustrated in
As shown, the smart organization system 102 receives a selection of the “Collaborators” filter option and provides the expanded filter option 804 to present corresponding filtering criteria. For example, the smart organization system 102 presents filtering criteria for selecting collaborative co-user accounts. Based on receiving indications for selecting Co-User B and Co-User D, for instance, the smart organization system 102 identifies (collaborative) content items that are accessible by the user account of the client device 108 as well as co-user accounts for Co-User B and Co-User D. The smart organization system 102 can thus update or modify a subgrouping to include only such (collaborative) content items.
In one or more embodiments, the smart organization system 102 utilizes variations of smart organization interfaces. For example, the smart organization system 102 can provide a smart organization interface that includes content cards representing content items along with variants of selectable interface elements.
As illustrated in
Indeed, the smart organization system 102 provides interface elements 906 selectable to generate or modify the subgrouping 904. For instance, the interface elements 906 includes an element (the “+” sign) for adding new content items to the subgrouping 904 or to Collection A. In addition, the interface elements 906 include an option (the center element that says “Organize”) to select a dynamic facet for creating the subgrouping 904. For instance, upon selection of the dynamic facet option, the smart organization system 102 expands the element to present selectable dynamic facets for arranging or organizing content items into the subgrouping 904. As shown, the smart organization system 102 receives a selection of an “Organize” dynamic facet, and the smart organization system 102 generates the subgrouping 904 to include content items corresponding to the dynamic facet. Indeed, the 128 content items within the subgrouping 904 reflect or represent the organization topic or theme of the dynamic facet. Further, the interface elements 906 can include an interface element (the rightmost element with three boxes) to create new content collection from the subgrouping 904.
As shown, the smart organization interface 902 depicts content cards to represent the content items of the subgrouping 904. Indeed, the smart organization system 102 generates content cards of various sizes that are modifiable, manipulable, or otherwise interactive and that link to or reference content items within Collection A. For example, the smart organization system 102 receives user interaction to move content cards from one interface location to another (or to drag a content card to another interface for adding to a different folder or a different collection). As another example, the smart organization system 102 receives a user interaction to hover over a content card, whereupon the smart organization system 102 presents or displays content associated with the content card (e.g., by presenting a digital video or playing an audio clip). As shown, the content cards further include indications of content attributes or other information pertaining to respective content items, such as file types, storage locations, file sizes, and/or timestamps.
In some cases, the smart organization system 102 provides, for display within the subgrouping 904, a content card that represents a portion of a content item. For example, the smart organization system 102 identifies a portion or a segment of a content item that corresponds to a dynamic facet (and/or that satisfies filtering criteria), and the smart organization system 102 includes (a reference to) the portion to include within the subgrouping 904 (excluding other portions of the content item). In certain embodiments, the smart organization system 102 determines one or more content markers such as timestamps designating endpoints of a digital video that define a portion that mentions, discusses, depicts, or otherwise relates to the “Organize” topic. The smart organization system 102 thus provides a content card for the identified portion that is selectable to play the portion of the digital video designated by the timestamps. As shown, the smart organization system 102 identifies a digital video that mentions organization beginning at 0:31, another digital video portion from 2:15-2:30 that discusses organization, and other content items that mention organization at particular pages (as indicated by the PDF representing page 3 of a document or page 13 of the book).
In some cases, the smart organization system 102 further highlights or otherwise indicates, within a content card, relevance of a content item in relation to a selected dynamic facet. For instance, the smart organization system 102 underlines key phrases within content items that corresponding to the “Organize” topic to indicate how or why the smart organization system 102 selected the corresponding content item for the subgrouping 904. In certain embodiments, the smart organization system 102 generates a transcription for a digital video (or a portion of a digital video) and indicates a transcript location that corresponds to the dynamic facet (along with timestamps or other content markers for the endpoints of the segment that corresponds to the dynamic facet).
As further mentioned above, in some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 can modify a subgrouping based on user interaction with a filter option. For instance, the smart organization system 102 can provide filter options for display within a user interface to filter by filtering category and/or filtering criteria.
As illustrated in
As indicated in
In certain cases, the smart organization system 102 also generate content sets for different filtering categories. For instance, based on user selection of the “File Type” filter option, the smart organization system 102 arranges content items by file type (e.g., “documents,” “videos,” etc.) by clustering embeddings (or by some other method). Likewise for other filter options, the smart organization system 102 generates content sets for corresponding filtering categories (e.g., “Recency” or “Collaborators”). In addition, the smart organization system 102 provides visual indications of how many content items belong to each of the sets.
Further, the smart organization system 102 provides visual indications of numbers of mentions corresponding to each content set, indicating the number of times a content attribute associated with the selected dynamic facet (“Organize”) is mentioned. Indeed, the smart organization system 102 determines a number of content attribute mentions (or dynamic facet mentions) within content items and provides a visualization of the number for the content set as a whole. In some cases, the smart organization system 102 utilizes natural language processing to identify dynamic facet mentions by identifying key phrases within content items that are within a threshold similarity of the selected dynamic facet (or the content attribute of the selected dynamic facet). For instance, the smart organization system 102 identifies exact matches of the word “organize” or its variants (e.g., “organization,” “organizes,” “organizing,” etc.) as well as other phrases that, according to natural language processing, have meanings within a threshold similarity (e.g., “arrange,” “neatly place,” etc.). In some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 determines mentions by comparing depicted objects within content items (e.g., images or videos) with a content attribute of a dynamic facet (e.g., a key phrase or image) to identify similar objects or image themes using object similarity analysis or image comparison analysis.
Upon selection of a content set within the subgrouping 1004, the smart organization system 102 can provide a more detailed breakdown of the content items within the set. For example, based on user interaction selecting the “Organize” content set from the smart organization interface 1002, the smart organization system 102 generates and provides a user interface that includes additional details for the content items therein.
As illustrated in
Within the document section 1104, the smart organization system 102 provides content cards such as content card 1106 and content card 1108 that represent respective content items. As shown, the smart organization system 102 generates the content cards to indicate file types and to highlight portions of the content items that mention the content attribute of the dynamic facet. In some cases, the smart organization system 102 provides only those portions of the content items that include the mentions and excludes unrelated portions. As shown in the document section 1104, the smart organization system 102 identifies two documents that mention the “Organize” content attribute a total of three times. The first document is called “Marie's Tips” and corresponds to the content card 1106 and mentions organization on page three. The second document is called “Care Project” and includes two mentions, one on page thirteen as indicated by the content card 1108 and another on page fourteen as indicated by the third content card within the document section 1104.
Within the video section 1110, the smart organization system 102 provides content cards corresponding to video clips that include mentions (or depictions) of the (content attribute of the) selected dynamic facet. For example, the smart organization system 102 identifies a total of three digital videos or portions of digital videos that mention the content attribute of the dynamic facet (“Organize”). The smart organization system 102 further indicates that the digital videos include a total of six mentions among them. Accordingly, the smart organization system 102 provides a content card (and/or generates a video portion) for each of the six mentions, where each of the content cards is interactive to present or play its respective video portion (from a first endpoint to a second endpoint).
As shown, the smart organization system 102 generates and provides the content card 1112 and the content card 1114 for video portions from the same digital video titled “Interview.” The smart organization system 102 determines that a first mention in the digital video begins or occurs at 0:31 within the digital video, as reflected by the content card 1112. In addition, the smart organization system 102 determines that a second mention occurs between timestamps 2:15 and 2:30 of the digital video, as reflected by the content card 1114. The smart organization system 102 thus generates content cards (as metadata layers) indicating respective portions of a digital video and that are manipulable and interactive as individual digital videos themselves. The content cards can also be playable to view the corresponding portions of the digital video.
Within the recordings section 1116, the smart organization system 102 provides a content card 1118 for an audio recording that mentions the “Organize” attribute of the selected dynamic facet. Indeed, the smart organization system 102 determines a timestamp within the recording associated with the content attribute (e.g., 0:31). Specifically, the smart organization system 102 determines a timestamp where the key phrase occurs or where a sentence that includes the key phrase begins or where a discussion begins that includes the key phrase. In addition, the smart organization system 102 generates and provides a transcription of the audio recording (or the relevant portion of the audio recording) within the content card 1118.
In certain described embodiments, the smart organization system 102 provides different layouts for a smart organization interface for different types of content items. For example, the smart organization system 102 generates a smart organization interface that is specific to digital images.
As illustrated in
For example, based on a selection of the “Colors” element, the smart organization system 102 can organize digital images according to colors they depict. Indeed, the smart organization system 102 can utilize a content attribute machine learning model to determine colors depicted within a digital image. In some cases, the smart organization system 102 classifies digital images according to a most prominent color.
In addition, in response to a selection of a location option (e.g., “Home” or “Pasadena” or some other location), the smart organization system 102 can select a subset of digital images that correspond to the selected location. For instance, the smart organization system 102 can determine content attributes such as geotags that indicate locations where digital images are captured, and the smart organization system 102 can provide digital images that correspond to a selected location. In some cases, the smart organization system 102 can further generate the location elements based on locations associated with digital images of a content collection.
Further, the smart organization system 102 can generate and provide camera elements as well (e.g., “Camera 1” and “Camera 2”). The camera elements can indicate different cameras used to capture digital images. For example, the smart organization system 102 can determine a camera make and model used to capture a digital image and can provide the camera options for arranging content items based on camera type. Thus, based on a selection of a camera option, the smart organization system 102 can arrange digital images according to which cameras were used to capture the digital images. The smart organization interface 1202 can include additional or alternative organization elements as well.
As further illustrated in
As further illustrated in
As mentioned, the smart organization system 102 can determine or identify objects depicted within digital images. For instance, the smart organization system 102 can utilize a content attribute machine learning model to detect and label objects depicted within digital images. Based on detected objects, the smart organization system 102 can generate an objects section 1208 that includes object elements such as “Faces,” “Chairs,” and “Cars” selectable to view additional details for digital images depicting the respective objects. The smart organization system 102 can further provide other sections within the smart organization interface 1202 as well. Indeed, the smart organization system 102 can provide respective sections for different content attributes associated with digital images.
Based on receiving the selection of the “Chaz” element 1210, the smart organization system 102 generates and provides a content breakdown interface for digital images depicting a person or a face labeled as “Chaz.” In particular, the smart organization system 102 provides additional details for images depicting Chaz within a content breakdown interface.
As illustrated in
Within the close ups section 1304, the smart organization system 102 provides a number of digital images that are labeled as close up images. Indeed, the smart organization system 102 utilizes a content attribute machine learning model to analyze digital images and determine which digital images are close ups. Similarly, the smart organization system 102 analyzes digital images to identify which one are night photos to include within the night photos section 1306. Likewise, the smart organization system 102 determines which photos of Chaz also depict Cindy to include within the additional person section 1308 (where the additional person section 1308 is specific to a certain individual as the additional person).
As mentioned above, in certain described embodiments, the smart organization system 102 can include portions of content items within a subgrouping. In particular, the smart organization system 102 can generate or determine portions of content items that correspond to content attributes to include within a subgrouping.
As illustrated in
Within the digital video portion interface 1402, the smart organization system 102 provides a timeline 1406 that indicates timestamps or video locations where content attribute mentions occur (or where a sentence or a discussion begins that includes the content attribute mention). Indeed, the smart organization system 102 performs content synthesis to generate or determine content portions associated with a dynamic facet. For example, the smart organization system 102 analyzes a digital video to determine mentions of a content attribute of a selected dynamic facet. In some cases, the smart organization system 102 utilizes a content attribute machine learning model to analyze the digital video to identify relevant portions and irrelevant portions. In some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 generates the relevant portions as mutually exclusive so that the content portions 1408 do not overlap with one another. The smart organization system 102 further provides timeline indicators on the timeline 1406 that indicate timestamps together with images of individuals (e.g., user accounts within the content management system 106) speaking at the respective timestamp locations.
Additionally, the smart organization system 102 provides content portions 1408 that correspond to the timeline 1406 and that are selectable to view the video portions corresponding to a particular content attribute (e.g., of a selected dynamic facet). Indeed, the smart organization system 102 determines portions of a digital video that mention or otherwise correspond to a content attribute of a dynamic facet. Further, based on a selection of a content portion, the smart organization system 102 plays the content portion within the video section 1404.
In some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 can utilizes content synthesis to determine content portions for content items other than digital videos. For example, the smart organization system 102 can identify portions of content items corresponding to a content attribute of a dynamic facet within audio clips, digital documents, or other types of content items.
As illustrated in
As mentioned above, in certain described embodiments, the smart organization system 102 generates dynamic facets for a content collection or for a subgrouping of content items. In particular, the smart organization system 102 determines content attributes for content items and further generates dynamic facets from the determined content attributes.
As illustrated in
To elaborate, as illustrated in
Additionally, the smart organization system 102 utilizes a content attribute machine learning model 1608 to generate or predict the content attribute 1610 from a digital document. For instance, the smart organization system 102 utilizes the content attribute machine learning model 1608 trained on to generate content attributes such as key phrases from sample documents. As shown, the smart organization system 102 generate the content attribute 1610 in the form of a key phrase describing all or part of the content item (e.g., describing a topic or theme). For instance, the smart organization system 102 generates key phrases corresponding to an entire content item or corresponding to a portion of a content item. To select a content item for a subgrouping, the smart organization system 102 can also compare the key phrases associated with different portions of a content item with a key phrase associated with the dynamic facet. The smart organization system 102 can further determine or predict other types of content attributes as well, and for other types of content items (e.g., using different content attribute machine learning models for different content types and/or different content attributes).
As further illustrated in
The smart organization system 102 can also (or alternatively) determine a measure of relevance for a content attribute in relation to a user account (e.g., based on historical user account activity with content items reflecting the content attribute). In some cases, the smart organization system 102 further ranks the content attributes according to relevance and/or prominence. The smart organization system 102 thus generates the dynamic facets 1614 to indicate content attributes with at least a threshold measure of prominence and/or a threshold measure of relevance (discarding other content attributes). The smart organization system 102 can further provide the dynamic facets 1614 for display in ranked order. As mentioned, the smart organization system 102 can further update or modify sets of dynamic facets (or generate new sets of dynamic facets) for different subgroupings of content items (e.g., based on a selection of a dynamic facet).
As mentioned, the smart organization system 102 can also determine content attributes for discrete portions of content items as well. In particular, the smart organization system 102 can utilize a content attribute machine learning model to generate or predict a content attribute for a content portion, where the model is trained to not only identify the content attribute but also to determine a location of the content attribute within the content item. In cases where a content item includes multiple mentions of a content attribute, the smart organization system 102 can further train and utilize the content attribute machine learning model to identify the various portions reflecting the content attribute, where the portions are mutually exclusive and do not overlap one another.
As mentioned above, in certain described embodiments, the smart organization system 102 can generate a subgrouping of content items from a content collection. In particular, the smart organization system 102 can generate a subgrouping of content items by selecting content items that reflect or otherwise correspond to a particular content attribute (e.g., from a selected dynamic facet).
As illustrated in
As shown, the smart organization system 102 further generates, extracts, or encodes embeddings for content attributes. For example, the smart organization system 102 generates an embedding for a content attribute 1704 of a selected dynamic facet. For instance, the smart organization system 102 generates embeddings from key phrases, from objects, from images, or from other representations of content attributes. The smart organization system 102 thus compares the embedding of the content attribute with the embeddings of content items from the content collection 1702. For illustrative purposes, the embedding space 1706 shown in
In some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 generates the subgrouping 1708 from the embeddings in the embedding space 1706. In particular, the smart organization system 102 selects, as content items to include within the subgrouping 1708, content items corresponding to embeddings within a threshold distance (or a threshold similarity) of the content attribute embedding within the embedding space 1706. For example, the smart organization system 102 determines distances between embeddings within the embedding space 1706 and selects content items whose embeddings are within a threshold distance of the content attribute embedding.
In certain cases, the smart organization system 102 determines or generates clusters of embeddings. For example, the smart organization system 102 uses a clustering technique or a content embedding machine learning model to cluster embeddings according to relative distances (or similarities) between them within the embedding space 1706. In some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 selects content items for the subgrouping 1708 by selecting a cluster of embeddings from the embedding space 1706 that is within a threshold distance (or a threshold similarity) of the content attribute embedding. As shown, the smart organization system 102 identifies the cluster outlined in a dashed circle as including or indicating content items for the subgrouping 1708. Accordingly, the smart organization system 102 determines content items for the subgrouping 1708 by selecting content items from the content collection 1702 that correspond to the content attribute 1704 of the selected dynamic facet.
In certain described embodiments, the smart organization system 102. In particular,
As shown, the smart organization system 102 accesses sample data 1802 from a database 1804 (e.g., the database 114). For example, the smart organization system 102 determines sample data 1802 such as sample content items, sample content attributes, or some other sample data to input into the machine learning model 1806. In some embodiments, the smart organization system 102 utilizes the machine learning model 1806 to generate a predicted output 1808 from the sample data 1802. Specifically, the machine learning model 1806 generates a predicted output 1808 according to its internal parameters.
As part of training the machine learning model 1806, the smart organization system 102 performs a comparison 1810. Specifically, the smart organization system 102 compares the predicted output 1808 with a ground truth output 1812 (e.g., a ground truth content attribute to compare with a predicted content attribute, a ground truth dynamic facet to compare with a predicted dynamic facet, or a ground truth embedding to compare with a predicted embedding). Indeed, the smart organization system 102 accesses the ground truth output 1812 from the database 1804, where the ground truth output 1812 is designated as corresponding to the sample data 1802. In some cases, the smart organization system 102 performs the comparison 1810 using a loss function such as a mean squared error loss function or a cross entropy loss function to determine an error or a measure of loss associated with the machine learning model 1806 (or between the predicted output 1808 and the ground truth output 1812).
In one or more embodiments, the smart organization system 102 further performs a parameter modification 1814. Based on the comparison 1810, the smart organization system 102 modifies parameters of the machine learning model 1806. For example, the smart organization system 102 modifies parameters of the machine learning model 1806 to reduce a measure of error or a loss associated with the machine learning model 1806. The smart organization system 102 can further repeat the process illustrated in
The components of the smart organization system 102 can include software, hardware, or both. For example, the components of the smart organization system 102 can include one or more instructions stored on a computer-readable storage medium and executable by processors of one or more computing devices. When executed by one or more processors, the computer-executable instructions of the smart organization system 102 can cause a computing device to perform the methods described herein. Alternatively, the components of the smart organization system 102 can comprise hardware, such as a special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions. Additionally or alternatively, the components of the smart organization system 102 can include a combination of computer-executable instructions and hardware.
Furthermore, the components of the smart organization system 102 performing the functions described herein may, for example, be implemented as part of a stand-alone application, as a module of an application, as a plug-in for applications including content management applications, as a library function or functions that may be called by other applications, and/or as a cloud-computing model. Thus, the components of the smart organization system 102 may be implemented as part of a stand-alone application on a personal computing device or a mobile device.

In some cases, the series of acts 1900 can include an act of identifying, from the plurality of content items, a portion of a content item corresponding to the content attribute of the dynamic facet. The series of acts 1900 can also include an act of providing the portion of the content item as part of the subgrouping for display within the smart organization interface. Identifying a portion of a content item corresponding to a content attribute of a dynamic facet can include determining key phrases associated with different portions of the content item and further include comparing the key phrases associated with the different portions of the content item with a key phrase associated with the dynamic facet. The series of acts can also include an act of providing the portion of the digital video as part of the subgrouping of content items by generating content markers designating endpoints of the portion of the digital video, wherein the content markers limit presentation of the digital video to the portion between the endpoints.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise or utilize a special purpose or general-purpose computer including computer hardware, such as, for example, one or more processors and system memory, as discussed in greater detail below. Implementations within the scope of the present disclosure also include physical and other computer-readable media for carrying or storing computer-executable instructions and/or data structures. In particular, one or more of the processes described herein may be implemented at least in part as instructions embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by one or more computing devices (e.g., any of the media content access devices described herein). In general, a processor (e.g., a microprocessor) receives instructions, from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, (e.g., a memory, etc.), and executes those instructions, thereby performing one or more processes, including one or more of the processes described herein.
Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer system. Computer-readable media that store computer-executable instructions are non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices). Computer-readable media that carry computer-executable instructions are transmission media. Thus, by way of example, and not limitation, implementations of the disclosure can comprise at least two distinctly different kinds of computer-readable media: non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices) and transmission media.
Non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices) includes RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM, solid state drives (“SSDs”) (e.g., based on RAM), Flash memory, phase-change memory (“PCM”), other types of memory, other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer.
A “network” is defined as one or more data links that enable the transport of electronic data between computer systems and/or modules and/or other electronic devices. When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or a combination of hardwired or wireless) to a computer, the computer properly views the connection as a transmission medium. Transmissions media can include a network and/or data links which can be used to carry desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.
Further, upon reaching various computer system components, program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures can be transferred automatically from transmission media to non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices) (or vice versa). For example, computer-executable instructions or data structures received over a network or data link can be buffered in RAM within a network interface module (e.g., a “NIC”), and then eventually transferred to computer system RAM and/or to less volatile computer storage media (devices) at a computer system. Thus, it should be understood that non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices) can be included in computer system components that also (or even primarily) utilize transmission media.
Computer-executable instructions comprise, for example, instructions and data which, when executed by a processor, cause a general-purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions. In some implementations, computer-executable instructions are executed on a general-purpose computer to turn the general-purpose computer into a special purpose computer implementing elements of the disclosure. The computer executable instructions may be, for example, binaries, intermediate format instructions such as assembly language, or even source code. Although the subject matter has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the described features or acts described above. Rather, the described features and acts are disclosed as example forms of implementing the claims.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the disclosure may be practiced in network computing environments with many types of computer system configurations, including, personal computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, message processors, hand-held devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, mobile telephones, PDAs, tablets, pagers, routers, switches, and the like. The disclosure may also be practiced in distributed system environments where local and remote computer systems, which are linked (either by hardwired data links, wireless data links, or by a combination of hardwired and wireless data links) through a network, both perform tasks. In a distributed system environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
Implementations of the present disclosure can also be implemented in cloud computing environments. In this description, “cloud computing” is defined as a model for enabling on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. For example, cloud computing can be employed in the marketplace to offer ubiquitous and convenient on-demand access to the shared pool of configurable computing resources. The shared pool of configurable computing resources can be rapidly provisioned via virtualization and released with low management effort or service provider interaction, and then scaled accordingly.
A cloud-computing model can be composed of various characteristics such as, for example, on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, measured service, and so forth. A cloud-computing model can also expose various service models, such as, for example, Software as a Service (“SaaS”), Platform as a Service (“PaaS”), and Infrastructure as a Service (“IaaS”). A cloud-computing model can also be deployed using different deployment models such as private cloud, community cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud, and so forth. In this description and in the claims, a “cloud-computing environment” is an environment in which cloud computing is employed.
In particular implementations, processor 2002 includes hardware for executing instructions, such as those making up a computer program. As an example and not by way of limitation, to execute instructions, processor 2002 may retrieve (or fetch) the instructions from an internal register, an internal cache, memory 2004, or storage device 2006 and decode and execute them. In particular implementations, processor 2002 may include one or more internal caches for data, instructions, or addresses. As an example and not by way of limitation, processor 2002 may include one or more instruction caches, one or more data caches, and one or more translation lookaside buffers (TLBs). Instructions in the instruction caches may be copies of instructions in memory 2004 or storage device 2006.
Memory 2004 may be used for storing data, metadata, and programs for execution by the processor(s).

Communication interface 2010 can include hardware, software, or both. In any event, communication interface 2010 can provide one or more interfaces for communication (such as, for example, packet-based communication) between computing device 2000 and one or more other computing devices or networks. As an example and not by way of limitation, communication interface 2010 may include a network interface controller (NIC) or network adapter for communicating with an Ethernet or other wire-based network or a wireless NIC (WNIC) or wireless adapter for communicating with a wireless network, such as a WI-FI.
Additionally or alternatively, communication interface 2010 may facilitate communications with an ad hoc network, a personal area network (PAN), a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), or one or more portions of the Internet or a combination of two or more of these. One or more portions of one or more of these networks may be wired or wireless. As an example, communication interface 2010 may facilitate communications with a wireless PAN (WPAN) (such as, for example, a BLUETOOTH WPAN), a WI-FI network, a WI-MAX network, a cellular telephone network (such as, for example, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network), or other suitable wireless network or a combination thereof.
Additionally, communication interface 2010 may facilitate communications various communication protocols. Examples of communication protocols that may be used include, but are not limited to, data transmission media, communications devices, Transmission Control Protocol (“TCP”), Internet Protocol (“IP”), File Transfer Protocol (“FTP”), Telnet, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (“HTTP”), Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (“HTTPS”), Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”), Simple Object Access Protocol (“SOAP”), Extensible Mark-up Language (“XML”) and variations thereof, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (“SMTP”), Real-Time Transport Protocol (“RTP”), User Datagram Protocol (“UDP”), Global System for Mobile Communications (“GSM”) technologies, Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) technologies, Time Division Multiple Access (“TDMA”) technologies, Short Message Service (“SMS”), Multimedia Message Service (“MMS”), radio frequency (“RF”) signaling technologies, Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) technologies, wireless communication technologies, in-band and out-of-band signaling technologies, and other suitable communications networks and technologies.
Communication infrastructure 2012 may include hardware, software, or both that couples components of computing device 2000 to each other. As an example and not by way of limitation, communication infrastructure 2012 may include an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) or other graphics bus, an Enhanced Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus, a front-side bus (FSB), a HYPERTRANSPORT (HT) interconnect, an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, an INFINIBAND interconnect, a low-pin-count (LPC) bus, a memory bus, a Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) bus, a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, a PCI-Express (PCIe) bus, a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) bus, a Video Electronics Standards Association local (VLB) bus, or another suitable bus or a combination thereof.
In particular, content management system 2102 can manage synchronizing digital content across multiple client devices 2106 associated with one or more users. For example, a user may edit digital content using client device 2106. The content management system 2102 can cause client device 2106 to send the edited digital content to content management system 2102. Content management system 2102 then synchronizes the edited digital content on one or more additional computing devices.
In addition to synchronizing digital content across multiple devices, one or more implementations of content management system 2102 can provide an efficient storage option for users that have large collections of digital content. For example, content management system 2102 can store a collection of digital content on content management system 2102, while the client device 2106 only stores reduced-sized versions of the digital content. A user can navigate and browse the reduced-sized versions (e.g., a thumbnail of a digital image) of the digital content on client device 2106. In particular, one way in which a user can experience digital content is to browse the reduced-sized versions of the digital content on client device 2106.
Another way in which a user can experience digital content is to select a reduced-size version of digital content to request the full- or high-resolution version of digital content from content management system 2102. In particular, upon a user selecting a reduced-sized version of digital content, client device 2106 sends a request to content management system 2102 requesting the digital content associated with the reduced-sized version of the digital content. Content management system 2102 can respond to the request by sending the digital content to client device 2106. Client device 2106, upon receiving the digital content, can then present the digital content to the user. In this way, a user can have access to large collections of digital content while minimizing the amount of resources used on client device 2106.
Client device 2106 may be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an in- or out-of-car navigation system, a handheld device, a smart phone or other cellular or mobile phone, or a mobile gaming device, other mobile device, or other suitable computing devices. Client device 2106 may execute one or more client applications, such as a web browser (e.g., Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, etc.) or a native or special-purpose client application (e.g., Dropbox Paper for iPhone or iPad, Dropbox Paper for Android, etc.), to access and view content over network 2104.
Network 2104 may represent a network or collection of networks (such as the Internet, a corporate intranet, a virtual private network (VPN), a local area network (LAN), a wireless local area network (WLAN), a cellular network, a wide area network (WAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), or a combination of two or more such networks) over which client devices 2106 may access content management system 2102.
