DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Provided herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for providing a rich text box to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform.

A cloud collaboration platform may allow multiple users to work together to design, write, implement, edit, and finalize various forms of content. Such content may be text files, spreadsheets, presentation slides, videos, audio files, and other suitable documents. A cloud collaboration platform may include word processing tools that allow users to create, compose, draft, and revise these documents. A cloud collaboration platform may include a versioning system to dynamically track changes made to documents over time.

A cloud collaboration platform may encourage collaboration among users by allowing users to send other users messages, include comments in or on documents, post to message boards, solicit feedback, and engage in other suitable communications. Some comments in a cloud collaboration platform may be viewable by all users while other comments may be user-specific and only viewable by one user or a subset of the users. Comments may tag, link, @mention, or otherwise reference other users, documents, and materials. Users may also post feedback stickers, i.e., prompts via which users can receive information from other users, conduct polls, receive text answers to questions, etc.

A cloud collaboration platform may incorporate permissions, configurations, and access controls. For example, a cloud collaboration platform may allow users to set access permissions to documents. In an embodiment, a document's author may control whether other users may edit or view the document, comment on the document, share the document, delete the document, etc. An author may set access permissions on a per-user, i.e., grant access to only one user or a subset of users, and/or a per-document basis, i.e., configure a different set of access permissions for each file in the cloud collaboration platform.

A cloud collaboration platform may be enhanced by supporting interactive, embeddable, customizable software applications, herein referred to as live applications, within the cloud collaboration platform. A user may insert live applications into a document to access any programmed behaviors. Live applications may be inlayed in the documents in the cloud collaboration platform using an inline frame, section, or other HTML construct.

A live application may be a first-party application developed by and provisioned within the cloud collaboration platform as a standardized and readily deployable live application. Examples of first-party live applications may include: project trackers, calendars, Kanban boards, checklists, countdowns, and polls. A user may insert a first-party live application within documents in the cloud collaboration platform to easily access the preconfigured functionalities furnished by the cloud collaboration platform. Organizations may configure which first-party live applications may be embedded in documents.

However, a live application may also be developed by a third party, i.e., by the organization, to further customize and extend the canvas of the cloud collaboration platform to meet unique requirements and organizational needs. In developing, deploying, and maintaining a third-party live application, an organization may leverage an extensible application program interface (API), a data model, development framework, and security model provided by the cloud collaboration platform. Thus, developers may design, write, customize, and maintain live applications to address unique use cases, and the cloud collaboration platform may provide the tools to safely, securely, and promptly deploy the third-party live applications.

Documents in a cloud collaboration platform may be imbued with various stylistic traits to present a particular look and feel to users. Documents may also include functional abilities by default, for example, mentions and auto-completion within data fields. Specifically, editing of text, given the ubiquity of this behavior within a cloud collaboration platform, may be presented via standardized styles and functions. Third-party live applications may struggle to mimic the styles employed in the standard editor. Requiring third-party live applications to provide mentions, auto-completions, and other stock functionalities within the live application may duplicate code, create additional bugs, and raise security and data-access concerns. Moreover, if editing abilities within live applications do not match the standard look-and-feel, the user experience within the cloud collaboration platform may be further degraded and compromised.

Accordingly, a need exists to provide a rich text box to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing an example environment 100 including a cloud collaboration platform, according to some embodiments. Environment 100 may include users 102, such as users 102A and 102B, devices 104, such as devices 104A and 104B, local caches 106, such as local caches 106A and 106B, and cloud collaboration platform 110.

Users 102 may be individuals or entities developing documents on a cloud collaboration platform. Users 102 may members of a business, organization, or other suitable group using the cloud collaboration platform to perform tasks related to that business or organization. Or users 102 may be individuals using a cloud collaboration platform for personal pursuits. Users 102 may be human beings, but users 102 may also be artificial intelligence constructs. Users 102 may employ, i.e., connect to, a network or combination of networks including the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a wireless network, a cellular network, or various other types of networks as would be appreciated by a person of ordinary skill in the art.

Devices 104 may be personal digital assistants, desktop workstations, laptops or notebook computers, netbooks, tablets, smart phones, mobile phones, smart watches or other wearables, appliances, part of the Internet-of-Things, and/or embedded systems, to name a few non-limiting examples, or any combination thereof. Although devices 104 are illustrated in the example of FIG. 1 as a single computer, one skilled in the art(s) will understand that devices 104 may represent two or more computers in communication with one another. Therefore, it will also be appreciated that any two or more components of environment 100 may similarly be executed using some or all of the two or more computers in communication with one another.

Local caches 106, such as local cache 106A and local cache 106B, may be hardware caches, software caches, or some combination thereof, storing a wide-array of data on devices 104. Local caches 106 may facilitate an offline mode for cloud collaboration platforms, so document editing, message sending, and user commenting may continue to function on devices 104 in the absence of Internet connectivity. Moreover, local caches 106 may reduce costly interactions between a cloud collaboration platform and devices 106 and improve the efficiency of document editing and the performance of live applications. Local caches 106 may be a memory in proximity to CPU's located in devices 104. Local caches 106 may include more than one different independent caches in a hierarchy of cache levels, or local caches 106 may divide, subdivide, or organize caches into further subcaches or levels.

Cloud collaboration platform 110 may combine word processing tools with communication tools to enhance teamwork and collaboration among multiple users in building, editing, and finalizing text files, documents, spreadsheets, presentation slides, and other files. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may include interface elements 112, access controls 114, search module 116, live application framework 118, input receiver 120, data 122, and synchronization component 124.

Cloud collaboration platform 110 may provide organizations with the capability to develop customized, third-party live applications and integrate the live applications into cloud collaboration platform 110. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may provision an extensible application program interface (API), a data model, and development framework to the third parties to allow developers for the third party to design, write, customize, and maintain the live applications. A data model may specify the appropriate format for requesting and modifying data used by the live applications.

Interface elements 112 may provide components that allow cloud collaboration platform 110 to render a user interface for users 102 to view on devices 104. Interface elements 112 may include a JavaScript library or other user interface library to facilitate dynamic interactions between users 102 and cloud collaboration platform 110. Interface elements 112 may include a development toolkit facilitating the building and deployment of HTML5 applications or mobile applications. Interface elements 112 may include appropriate stylesheets and design formats to shape, for example, the display format of data retrieved by cloud collaboration platform 110. Interface elements 112 may include styles for text editing boxes, i.e., rich text boxes. These rich text boxes may be a stock method of receiving inputted textual data and displaying that text once received and be imbued with a number of additional stylistic and functional characteristics described in further detail in the disclosure below.

Access controls 114 may control permissions and user access within cloud collaboration platform 110. Access controls 114 may authorize connections to cloud collaboration platform 110 using username/password combinations. In some embodiments, access controls 114 may employ an alternate authentication methodology, such as two-factor authentication, token authentication, biometric data, etc., to identify, authorize, encrypt, and account for user connections. The level of access granted to a user may vary depending on the user type; therefore, the functionality provided to users may differ depending on the individual user accessing the system. Access controls 114 may additionally track access to documents among users 102. For example, access controls 114 may store information indicating that a particular user may access a particular document and an access level. Access controls 114 may further store information about external data sources, for example, OAuth or SAML parameters to be used when interacting with external data systems.

Search module 116 may allow users 102 to search for other users, documents, files, or data items within cloud collaboration platform 110. Search module 116 may employ a suitable search tool or indicator to receive an input from users 102. Search module 116 may use an appropriate cataloging methodology to store previous messages, comments, edits, etc. and retrieve appropriate information via full-text searches. Search module 116 may promote the use of “@” or “#” to retrieve appropriate documents, users, or live applications that satisfy the searches from users 102. In an embodiment, search module 116 may retrieve live applications by a configured name. For example, users 102 may insert a live application named “My Tasklist” into a document by entering “@My Tasklist.” In an embodiment, search module 116 may retrieve a list of applications satisfying an entered substring, i.e., in the above example search module 116 may display the “My Tasklist” live application when users 102 enter “My T” or other suitable substring.

Live application framework 118 may allow an organization to develop customizable live applications, to integrate the applications into cloud collaboration platform 110, and embed the applications in documents. Live application framework 118 may employ a data API through which developers with organizations may interact with data used by the live application and stored within cloud collaboration platform 110. Live application framework 118 may use a data model that conceptualizes the layout of data for records stored in the system. Live application framework 118 may support the extension of standard functionalities and interface components, i.e., building blocks, within cloud collaboration platform 110, for example, comments, mentions, and references. Live application framework 118 may allow customized live applications to function while in offline mode. Live application framework 118 may further provide a versioning system to allow developers to specify which APIs their live application should run against, to avoid breaking the behavior of deployed customizable live applications with the release of subsequent updates to live application framework 118. Live application framework 118 may support the bundling of live applications into packages to organize the deployment of applications. Live application framework 118 may analyze customized live applications to ensure that the applications adhere to security requirements or provide a means by which an organization may verify that the developed application adhere to and meet security requirements. Live application framework 118 is described in further detail below with reference to FIG. 2.

Input receiver 120 may receive and process inputs from users 102 within cloud collaboration platform 110. Input receiver 120 may also be referred to as an input handler. Input receiver 120 may receive inputs from any suitable mechanism including: a mouse, a keyboard, stylus, input gesture, or other suitable mechanism for expressing a user intentions. Input receiver 120 may receive the inputs from users 102 via devices 104. User inputs may include entering text, drawing checkmarks, circles, squares, lines, and other geographic symbols, swiping, clicking, tapping, dragging, and other gestures. Input receiver 120 may use interface elements 112 to display appropriate navigational buttons, input forms, and other HTML fields to facilitate interaction with cloud collaboration platform 110.

Data 122 may be a variety of stored information relevant to the documents, messages, comments, live applications, and other information in cloud collaboration platform 110. Data 122 may be housed or stored in a relational database, a NoSQL database or other horizontally scaling database, a digital ledger technology or blockchain, or any other suitable storage mechanism. For instance, cloud collaboration platform 110 may harness any commercially available database management system to store and retrieve data 122. In an embodiment, data 122 may be stored in a centralized storage area network (SAN), network-attached storage (NAS), redundant array of independent disks, and/or any other configuration of storage devices to supply sufficient storage capacity to store database tables and supporting structures. Sufficient storage may alternatively exist in any other physically attached magnetic storage, cloud storage, or additional storage medium. In an embodiment, cloud collaboration platform 110 deploys a hard-disk interface, such as ATA, SATA, SCSI, SAS, and/or fibre for interfacing with storage mediums housing data 122.

Synchronization component 124 may be employed by cloud collaboration platform 110 to process changes made by a user, e.g., user 102A, and ensure that the changes are reconciled with changes made by other users, e.g., user 102B. Synchronization component 124 may receive a change from a device, e.g., device 104A, and determine a record related to the change. The change may reflect modifications to the record in a document or a live application embedded in a document. The record may include a sequence number and a record type, with the sequence number reflecting an order in which changes are made, i.e., a record version number and the record type indicating the data type associated with the record, e.g., a rich text field, an image, a binary file, Boolean, string, number, etc.

Synchronization component 124 may employ a merging algorithm to process changes made to a document or live application. In some cases, synchronization component 124 may determine that a conflict arises when applying the changes, e.g., where a second change was received from a different user that modified the same record in a different fashion. In such an instance, synchronization component 124 may employ a combination of suitable algorithmic approaches to resolve potential conflicts. Synchronization component 124 may determine based on the record type whether both changes may be applied without data interference. For example, if the record type is a record list and the received changes impacted disparate records in the record list, then the changes may be applied without one change interfering with the second change. In another example, the record type may be a rich text field, and synchronization component 124 may analyze the first change and the second change and determine that different paragraphs in the rich text field were modified by the users. In this instance, the separate paragraphs may be modified without one change being lost. In some cases, the conflicts may not be merged and the sequence number may control which change gets applied. For example, if user 102B modified a “color” property of a record and user 102A later modified the same “color” property of the same record, the changes would need to be resolved based on the sequence number; in this case, user 102B's change may apply.

Synchronization component 124 may receive the changes, resolve the conflicts, and determine a final state for the record based on a series of applied changes and resolved conflicts. Synchronization component and/or live application framework 118 may then store the final state of the record in data 122. This version of the record may be referred to herein as the server-side record. After storing the final state of the record in the server-side data storage, synchronization component 124 may return the final state to devices 104 to apply the final state to local caches 106, thereby incorporating any changes received from other users. In some embodiments, synchronization component 124 may interface with devices 104 continuously so that devices 104 may receive changes from other users 102 in real-time or near-real time.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing live application architecture 200, according to some embodiments. Live application architecture 200 may support and facilitate the development and deployment of third-party live applications in cloud collaboration platform 110. Live application architecture 200 may include developer components 210 and platform components 220.

Developer components 210 may be accessed by developed to program third-party live applications. Developer components 210 may include react API 212, javascript API 214, CSS framework 216, and bridge API 218.

React API 212 may be code, libraries, HTML, and components employed by cloud collaboration platform 110 to handle common considerations shared across live applications. For example, react API 212 may handle a resizing command received from users 102. React API 212 may receive commands from users 102 related to the creating, saving, and updating of data by a customizable live application. React API 212 may include Javascript API 214 and CSS framework 216 as subcomponents or these components may be independent from react API 212.

Javascript API 214 may facilitate the implementation of common operations performed in the document object model or other suitable programming interface. Javascript API 214 may receive scripting commands and execute triggers associated with the commands within cloud collaboration platform 110. Javascript API 214 may allow developers of third-party live applications to employ functionality that is standard within cloud collaboration platform 110, for example, performing a certain behavior during an on-hover event. In this example, users 102 may see further information about a user in cloud collaboration platform 110 when they hover the mouse over a user image.

CSS framework 216 may be harnessed by react API 212 to maintain a consistent visual style within cloud collaboration platform 110. CSS framework 216 may provide a utilitarian interface including static methods, properties, and specifications. CSS framework 216 may deploy appropriate styles to developers of third-party live applications to allow the live applications to adopt a look-and-feel that matches the general properties of a document in a cloud collaboration platform 110.

Bridge API 218 may coordinate communications between a live application and cloud collaboration platform 110. Bridge API 218 may define a protocol that employs protocol buffer messages or other suitable method of formatting language- and platform-neutral serialized data structures for use in communication protocols. Bridge API 218 may perform requests resultant from modifications made by a live application to the data model and thus, a live application may not call bridge API 218 directly, instead referencing intermediate APIs that call bridge API 218 to perform transactions.

Platform components 220 may include modules, functions, and other code executed on cloud collaboration platform 110 to allow third-party live applications to function. Platform components 220 may include element wrapper 222, storage handler 224, offline components 226, rich text box engine 228, data model 230, record 232, properties 234, sequence number 236, and root record 238.

Element wrapper 222 may wrap, embed, inlay, etc. a live application within a document for rendering in cloud collaboration platform 110. Element wrapper 222 may process and handle layout and user-interface interactions live applications and documents in cloud collaboration platform 110. A live application may be of a certain type, e.g., a “poll,” a “list,” etc. A live application may have a unique identifier associated with the live application.

Storage handler 224 may process data initialization, storage, modification, and retrieval requests received from a live application. Storage handler 224 may provide an API to a live application to perform varied tasks against the data model. For example, storage handler 224 may receive an API call such as “getRecordById,” “getRootRecord,” etc. and retrieve the appropriate set of information from data 122 based on the request. In other words, storage handler 224 may serve as an intermediate API between the data model and the live application. Storage handler 224 may communicate with bridge API 218 to complete storage-based modifications and requests.

Offline components 226 may be interfaces and functions that allow live application architecture 200 to function when Internet connectivity is not available on a device. Offline components 226 may connect to local caches 106 to pull data used by other components in live application architecture 200 when devices 104 are offline or at other appropriate times. Offline components 226 may interface with storage handler 224 to ensure that modifications made by users 102 when the device is offline are recorded and changes relayed to cloud collaboration platform 110 when connectivity returns. Offline components 226 may receive a final state from cloud collaboration platform 110 after changes are applied (or received from other users) and update local caches 106 with the final state reflecting the server-side data storage maintained in data 122.

In an embodiment, offline components 226 may be a separate set of components from, e.g., storage handler 224, that may engage when devices 104 enter an offline state. A live application may read from local caches 106 to retrieve data and render the live application and write to local caches 106 when the live application changes data, i.e., even when devices 104 maintains Internet connectivity. When devices 104, any changes made by a live application may be quickly propagated to cloud collaboration platform 110 for application to the server-side data store, e.g. data 122. When devices 104 are offline and offline components 226 are engaged, changes may persist in local caches 106 until devices 106 return online, connect to cloud collaboration platform 110, and propagate the stored changes, comments, messages, etc.

Rich text box engine 228 may be provided by cloud collaboration platform 110 to allow developers to embed a building block in the form of a rich text editor into a live application. Rich text box engine 228 may support text formatting, text styles (e.g., block quotes, headings), text container sections (e.g., numbered, bulleted, checklists), and variety of control functions (e.g., document and people mentioning, auto-completion, date mentions, etc.), and a myriad of ancillary functions and styles. In some embodiments, rich text box engine 228 may support text fields inserted in a standard document editor and within a third-party live application. In other embodiments, a distinct rich text box engine 228 may be provided to third-party live applications that mimics the behavior of the standard document editor but is programmatically distinct from a basic text field.

In an embodiment, rich text box engine 228 may be engaged by a live application developer to render an rich text box in the live application. In an embodiment, the live-application code may render the rich text box by including in the live application code an appropriate call to an appropriate component, e.g., a react JS component, Javascript field, function call, etc. For example, a third-party live application may deploy a render( ) method calling: “<quip.apps.ui.RichTextBox record={record_name}/>”, where “record_name” is a defined record, as described below as data model 230, to build a rich text box. Rich text box engine 228 may include a variety of different styles, e.g., cascading style sheets, such that rich text box engine 228 may appear similar to a rich text box in the standard document editor.

Rich text box engine 228 may receive properties passed in by a live application that control the display and behavioral characteristics of the rendered rich text box. In some embodiments, rich text box engine 228 may receive parameters as standard CSS. Rich text box engine 228 may further receive the parameters as JSON or other text-based descriptive method, variables, or other parameter form. Thus, a live application may be able to control properties, e.g., height, width, colors, shading, shadow, padding, etc., of the rendered rich text box through interactions with rich text box engine 228. For example, a live application may aim to employ a red rich text box with a height and a width of 280 pixels. Such a call to the RichTextBox user-interface component may resemble:

Rich text box engine 228 may receive any passed-in parameters and render the rich text box in accordance with the received parameters. This example is merely exemplary, and a wide-array of parameters and parameter types may be received by rich text box engine 228 as one skilled in the relevant art(s) will appreciate.

Rich text box engine 228 may also include functions and methods with a rich text box to enable functionality such as auto-completion and mentioning. For example, when users 102 enter a triggering character, e.g. “@”, a list of accounts, documents, live applications, and other components within the cloud collaboration platform may display in the rich text box. Users 102 may refine the displayed entities further by entering more characters or substrings. Users 102 may select, using a mouse or keyboard gesture, from the list of accounts, documents, and other components to auto-complete the mention within the rich text box. The auto-complete values, i.e., the options presenting for auto-completion, may be pulled by cloud collaboration platform 110 from data 122 via search module 116. Accordingly, a third-party live application need not access data about users or documents in the system to provide this functionality, furthering data security within the system. By using the auto-complete functionality within a rich text box embedded in a live application, developers may spare users 102 from entering an entire user name, document name, etc., to reference that entity within the live application.

Rich text box engine 228 may also expose client-side components that enable the locking of the rich text box field when a user, such as user 102A, edits the rich text box. This lock visually alerts a second user, such as user 102B, of the editing occurring on that field at the present time, thus preventing conflicting edits occurring with respect to the same rich text box. Rich text box engine 228 may render a lock indicator and provide additional options to user 102B, as described in further below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 6.

Data model 230 may present a model that allows live applications to request, modify, and store data. For example, a live application may access data stored in cloud collaboration platform 110 in data 122. Cloud collaboration platform 230 may expose data model 230 to store document metadata (e.g., document title, thread members, etc.), document data (e.g., spreadsheet data), data from other live applications embedded in the document, viewer-specific data (e.g., contacts, metadata for other documents that a user may access) user information, and other data related to the functioning of a live application and a document at large. Data model 230 may guarantee appropriate usage of the data API by providing functions and stored variables used by the live application to access and interact with external data.

In one embodiment, when users 102 insert a live application into a document, storage handler 224 may create an empty data field (e.g., a JSON or JSON-like object) and store the field locally within element wrapper 222. One such record initialized by default may be referred to as the root record, described in further detail below as root record 232. A third-party live application may then populate the record in accordance with the data model's requirements to save the data in the record to cloud collaboration platform 110 for further manipulation and later recall. Thus, developers may treat the storage of data into the cloud collaboration platform model the same as storing the data in a JSON object, and the record data needed by a live application may be pulled from data model 230 dynamically at runtime.

Record 232 may provide the basic unit of storage in data model 230. Record 232 may represent a discrete unit of data within an instance of a live application embedded in a document in cloud collaboration platform 110. Record 232 may represent a text field, a rich text box, an image, a blob, a user, or other discrete data units harnessed by a live application. Record 232 may also reference another record or lists of such records enabling developers to design more robust data storage approaches in a hierarchical, tree form.

In an embodiment, record 232 may be one or more key-value pairs, a reference to a second record, or a list of records. Record 232 may be one or more key-value pairs that store information used by the live application. For example, the “My Tasklist” live application may include one or more key-value pairs in root record 238. One such key-value pair may be “title-color,” “green” and another key value pair may be “title-text,” “My Tasklist.” Cloud collaboration platform 110 may then store this information in data 122 via data model 230, retrieve the information at a later time, modify the stored information, etc. When “My Tasklist” loads, the application may load this information and display the title of the live application as “My Tasklist” in the color green. The “My Tasklist” live application may subsequently receive a color update from the user, change the stored key-value pair to “title-color,” “red” via an appropriate API call (or direct modification). The next time that this instance of “My Tasklist” loads, the live application instance may retrieve the “title-color”, “red” key-value pair and display the “My Tasklist” title in the color red.

Record 232 may also be a second record or a list of records also stored in association with a name field. In the “My tasklist” example, a list of records reflecting the tasks associated with the user may be stored, with each task in turn being its own record object. As described below with reference to FIG. 4, a developer may create and register classes to associate with the records, allowing more advanced functionalities.

Properties 234 allow developers to defined custom properties for records, such as record 232. This ability provides flexibility within data model 230 to store a variety of stock data types as well as developer-defined classes. In one embodiment, properties 234 may provide capabilities to store data types including: a Javascript primitive (string, number, Boolean, etc.), a javascript object or array, a record, or a list of records. Properties 234 may allow developers to make use of additional special data types, for example, a rich text property, an image property, a blob property, a binary file property, etc. In such an embodiment, cloud collaboration platform 110 may forward additional capabilities to the live application via the data model based on the special property.

Sequence number 236 may be included in record 232 to indicate a version of the record. In an embodiment, sequence number 236 may be included in data model 230 as part of record 232 as a timestamp, sequentially arranged identifier number, or other suitable record-versioning construct. For example, if user 102A stores information about a particular record 232 in local cache 106A, the stored record may have sequence number 236 stored in association with the record indicating a version or timestamp. User 102B storing information about the same record 232 in local cache 106B may associate a different sequence number 236 in local cache 106B. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may determine which record version occurred first in time using sequence number 236. Sequence number 236 may then be used to aid in the resolution of conflicts among user edits within a document or live application.

Root record 238 may be a default instance of record 232 created by cloud collaboration platform 110 for each instance of a live application. Root record 238 may include a set of default characteristics that a live application may use to store and retrieve data. Root record 238 may serve as the source record for a hierarchical structure, wherein all sub-records, i.e. one or more records such as record 232, derive from root record 238 in a tree-like structure.

FIG. 3 is an example screen display 300 of a document incorporating live applications in a cloud collaboration platform, according to some embodiments. The screen display provided in FIG. 3 is merely exemplary, and one skilled in the relevant art(s) will appreciate that many approaches may be taken to provide a suitable screen display 300 in accordance with this disclosure.

Document 302 may be a document created and stored in cloud collaboration platform 110 and presented to users 102 viewing devices 104. Document 302 may be a word processing document, text file, spreadsheet, presentation slide, video or audio file, or other editable, sharable content. Document 302 may include text, language, images, videos, and other standard HTML components. Document 302 may further include live applications embedded or inserted within the body of the document to provide additional functionality. A set of building blocks may be made available in document 302, as extended and provisioned by cloud collaboration platform 110 to live applications. In an embodiment, cloud collaboration platform 110 may inlay live applications built with third-party code inside inline frames in document 302. In this embodiment, cloud collaboration platform 110 may set global attributes and event attributes in the inline frames.

Navigation panel 304 may provide users 102 with components to navigate cloud collaboration platform 110 and documents therein. In the merely exemplary embodiment portrayed in screen display 300, users 102 may click “Updates” to see a list of recent updates to documents that the user may access, “Folders” to navigate to a list of folders created by the user to store, organize, and share their documents, “Apps” to view a list of live applications to which the user may access or embed, and “History.” These examples are in no way exhaustive, however, and navigation panel 304 may include other suitable navigational components or navigate to different areas of cloud collaboration platform 110.

Favorites 306 may display documents, live applications, and other content determined by cloud collaboration platform 110 to be relevant to the viewer. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may determine the content to display in favorites 306 through a suitable methodology, for example, by displaying the most recently accessed documents/resources or the most frequently accessed documents/resources. In another example, cloud collaboration platform 110 may receive a configured selection from users 102 and consider the configurations in determining the content to display in favorites 306. Favorites 306 may receive user inputs and navigate to an appropriate document or other location based on the received user inputs.

Chat 308 may provide a conversation mechanism by which a user may communicate with other users. In an embodiment, selecting a user in chat 308 may open a chat window in which the user may send a message to the selected user. The chat window may support mentions, comments, links to documents, and other core functionalities.

Prompt 310 may provide a space in which users 102 may build a document and edit the content included therein. Users 102 may enter text, images, tables, etc. In one embodiment, by entering a token, for example “@”, the user may load a menu of additional content that may be embedded in the document. Such additional content may include links to other documents, mentions of other users, and live applications. For example, users 102 may click in 310 and type “My Tasklist” (the above exemplary third-party live application). Upon confirming, cloud collaboration platform 110 may insert the “My Tasklist” application into the document. The “My Tasklist” application may load data from data model 230 in the form of one or more records, i.e., record 232, and render the “My Tasklist” live application based on the retrieved data.

Selector 312 may provide an additional mechanism by which users 102 may enter live applications into document 302. Selector 312 may display the live applications configured and deployed by an organization. Selector 312 may also display live applications that are preconfigured by cloud collaboration platform 110 to display. Selector 312 may further allow a user to configure the displaying live applications, for example, by removing a live application or adding an additional live application.

Rich text box 314 may be a multi-purpose data field used to receive inputted data from users 102 within cloud collaboration platform 110 and display that data for users 102 for further refinement. Rich text box 314 may be deployed in a myriad of contexts, for example, as a paragraph or section in a document, as an item in a bulleted or numbered list, as a tile in a Kanban board, as a task or other data field in a “My Tasklist” live application, etc. Accordingly, rich text box 314 may provide a default building block by which to receive and display textual data within cloud collaboration platform 110. Rich text box 314 may include styles ensuring that a third-party live application renders and behaves similarly to a rich text box in the standard document editor. Rich text box 314 may include functions on the client-side to ensure a handoff to cloud collaboration platform 110 to perform mentioning and auto-completion, i.e., the performance of these functions may occur in cloud collaboration platform 110 and not in the live application. Thus, the live application need not access data stores needed to provide these functionalities preserving data security and integrity.

Lock indicator 316 may demonstrate to user 102A that another user, e.g. user 102B is presently modifying rich text box 312. Lock indicator 316 may indicate that an edit notification was received by cloud collaboration platform 110. In an embodiment, lock indicator 316 may display as a lock image, a representation of a user account (reflecting that user 102A is the user locking the rich text box), or other suitable image. In the exemplary embodiment provided in FIG. 3, user 102B edits the record/rich text box reading “Lorem test dolor”, thus locking the record for other users including the viewing user 102A. User 102A may edit other rich text boxes displaying in screen display 300, if any such rich text boxes exist, but not the particular rich text box that is locked. User 102A may have other options to perform on the locked rich text box, described below as additional options 318. Once user 102B relinquishes the lock and cloud collaboration platform receives an editing-completed notification, user 102A may edit the “Lorem test dolor” rich text box.

Additional options 318 may provide options for users 102 to perform on a rich text box that is locked, i.e., where users 102 are viewing lock indicator 316. In such a situation, users 102 may enter a user input on, in, or around lock indicator 316 indicating a request for additional options. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may display additional options that users 102 may engage with respect to the locked rich text box. In the exemplary embodiment displayed in FIG. 3, the available options are “Take Over,” “Add Text Below,” and “Add Comment;” however, these are in no way exhaustive. For example, if user 102A is viewing lock indicator 316 for a rich text box locked by user 102B, user 102A may select “Take Over.” If user 102A is permitted to do so, cloud collaboration platform 110 may receive a takeover notification from user 102A, user 102B may see a lock indicator, any edits made by 102B applied to data 122, and user 102A may begin editing the record.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method 400 of processing data requests from a live application in a cloud collaboration platform, according to some embodiments. Method 400 can be performed by processing logic that can comprise hardware (e.g., circuitry, dedicated logic, programmable logic, microcode, etc.), software (e.g., instructions executing on a processing device), or a combination thereof. It is to be appreciated that not all steps may be needed to perform the disclosure provided herein. Further, some of the steps may be performed simultaneously, or in a different order than shown in FIG. 4, as will be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art(s).

In 402, cloud collaboration platform 110 may employ storage handler 224 to receive schema, specifications, or other definitions. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may register a record, such as record 232, based on the received data schema. In an embodiment, a schema may define the record name and the record type. In an embodiment, the type may be a simple data type, i.e. a primitive, such as string, Boolean, object, array, etc. Or the type may be a special type such as a constructor, rich text entity, image entity, a record, or a record list. Or the type may be a custom defined type. An example of such a received schema may be:

ExampleSchema:{

“header”: CardEntity,

“color”: “string”

}

In an example, storage handler 226 may receive the schema and a record to include the properties exhibited by the received schema.

In 404, cloud collaboration platform 110 may register classes defined in the schema received in 402. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may serialize properties in the classes into a JSON field. By registering these classes in accordance with the received schema, cloud collaboration platform 110 may provide further detail, e.g., the data stored in the records, about the registered data entity in subsequent calls. In one embodiment, registered-class information may be provided when a call to “getRootRecord( )” or “getRecord( )” is received from a live application.

In 406, cloud collaboration platform 110 may insert a live application in a document, such as document 302 while including the classes registered in 404 in the created inline frame. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may employ an initialization routine or other appropriate method to create the properties for records included in the live application. The created properties, i.e., properties 234, may be a javascript primitive (string, number, Boolean, etc.), or a link to another record or a list of records. In one embodiment, the property may specify a special class of data type provided by cloud collaboration platform 110, for example a binary data type or blob data type. A record with such a data type may provide additional characteristics for unique handling by cloud collaboration platform 110. One skilled in the relevant arts will understand that this data model allows developers to build a tree-like, hierarchical structure via the data model that represents a panoply of data scenarios and allows the user to store more complicated data usage scenarios via data model 230. For example, cloud collaboration platform 110 may receive a call from a customizable live application to “rootRecord.set(param1, param2)”. In this embodiment, “param1” may be the name of the property, and “param2” may be an object containing child properties to set on the newly created record. If no special properties or child properties are to be set, then “param2” may be a null or empty object. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may create the property when the live application is created, and cloud collaboration platform 110 may not need to recreate the object during subsequent loads of the document.

In 408, cloud collaboration platform 110 may provide the record to the live application upon request. In one embodiment, a live application may call “rootRecord.get(param1)” to access the stored entity. A live application may call appropriate modifying functions to update, edit, and add to records stored via the inline frame.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method 500 of providing an offline framework to live applications embedded in documents allowing the live applications to function while offline, according to some embodiments. Method 500 can be performed by processing logic that can comprise hardware (e.g., circuitry, dedicated logic, programmable logic, microcode, etc.), software (e.g., instructions executing on a processing device), or a combination thereof. It is to be appreciated that not all steps may be needed to perform the disclosure provided herein. Further, some of the steps may be performed simultaneously, or in a different order than shown in FIG. 5, as will be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art(s).

In 502, cloud collaboration platform 110 may send modules, executables, applications, and other components to support an offline mode to devices 104 when users 102 install tools needed to connect to cloud collaboration platform 110 or at another suitable time. In offline mode, cloud collaboration platform 110 may continue to offer customary functionalities despite the fact that devices 104 may not be able to access cloud collaboration platform 110, for example, due to a lack of network connectivity. In an offline mode, users 102 may continue to make and affect changes to their documents in cloud collaboration platform 110 because devices 104 store a local cache of data to retrieve needed data from and temporarily store modifications. When users 102 make changes to the offline document, devices 104 may store the changes in local caches 106. Notably, the APIs that a live-application developer may use to interface with data store 230 may remain the same regardless of whether devices 104 are online or offline. When devices 104 are offline, retrieved data may reflect the data at a last download time, i.e., the last time devices 104 connected to cloud collaboration platform 110. When devices 104 are online, retrieved data may be more up-to-date with respect to other users' changes. For example, user 102A may change the completed date for a task displayed in the “My Tasklist” live application while device 104A is offline, local cache 106A may store this completed date.

In 504, devices 104 may return to online mode, and devices 104 may transmit the changes stored in local caches that occurred while devices 104 was offline to cloud collaboration platform 110 to synchronize the changes with the online version. In another embodiment, the changes may be sent continuously, i.e., regardless of whether devices 104 lose connectivity, changes are made locally and stored in local caches 106 and sent to cloud collaboration platform 110 for reconciliation periodically. In such an embodiment, devices 104 may wake-up periodically, for example, every 30 seconds, to send recent changes to cloud collaboration platform 110 to reconcile local changes with the server-side data storage and receive any changes made by other users for storage in the local cache.

In 506, cloud collaboration platform 110 may receive changes from devices 104. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may receive the changes in any suitable format, for example, in JSON or other data interchange format, as transaction logs, as executable code, or using any other suitable manner. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may store changes in data 122, in memory, or in a local cache for processing. As part of processing the changes received, cloud collaboration platform 110 may determine if conflicts exist in the changes. As part of making this determination, cloud collaboration platform 110 may receive a record that includes a record type and a sequence number along with the change.

In 508, cloud collaboration platform 110 may determine that conflicts are created by the changes received in 506 and resolve the conflicts. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may determine that no conflicts exist and apply the change to the record to determine the final state. Where conflicts do arise, cloud collaboration platform 110 may use the record type and the natures of the change and the second change to determine if the change and the second change may be applied without conflict, e.g., where the changes impact different portions of the record. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may determine that a conflict exists and use the sequence number to determine between the changes to affect upon the record in determining the final state. The final state, i.e., the status of the record after all changes are applied, may be determined by cloud collaboration platform 110 once all changes are received and reconciled.

In 510, cloud collaboration platform 110 may update the record in a document in the platform based on the final state of the record determined in 508. In an embodiment, cloud collaboration platform 110 may apply the changes into the document if another user is editing the document at the same time. In an embodiment, if multiple edits occur to the offline-edited section, cloud collaboration platform 110 may apply both edits to the document sequentially, i.e., both edited versions may display, one after the other. In an embodiment, cloud collaboration platform 110 may use the sequence number to determine the order in which to apply changes.

In 512, cloud collaboration platform 110 may update live applications as indicated in the changes received in 504. In an embodiment, cloud collaboration platform 110 may apply the change to the live application even if another user is editing the document at the same time. For example, user 102A may add a task to the “To Do” column in a live application (as described above with reference to FIG. 3B). When device 102A returns to online mode, cloud collaboration platform 110 may add the new task to the server-side version of the document so that other users, e.g., user 102B, working on cloud collaboration platform 110 may view and further edit the task. For example, a third party application may display a calendar in a document while offline. A user may add an entry to the calendar while offline. Upon returning to online mode, cloud collaboration platform 110 may synchronize the offline calendar and the online calendar by adding the added calendar entry to the online version of the calendar. One skilled in the relevant art(s) will appreciate that given the wide-ranging behavior of live applications, a number of functions and behaviors may depend on the records being updated.

In 514, cloud collaboration platform 110 may send the final state of the record to devices 104 for application in local caches 106. Because a second change, or multiple changes, may have been applied by cloud collaboration platform 110 in conducting the conflict resolution in 508, local caches 106 may be updated by cloud collaboration platform to reflect the change. Thus, local caches 106 may be kept in synchronization, or near-synchronization, with the server-side copy of records stored in data 122.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method 600 of receiving text edits in a rich text box embedded in a live application in a cloud collaboration platform, according to some embodiments. Method 600 can be performed by processing logic that can comprise hardware (e.g., circuitry, dedicated logic, programmable logic, microcode, etc.), software (e.g., instructions executing on a processing device), or a combination thereof. It is to be appreciated that not all steps may be needed to perform the disclosure provided herein. Further, some of the steps may be performed simultaneously, or in a different order than shown in FIG. 6, as will be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art(s).

In 602, cloud collaboration platform 110 may display a rich text box, such as rich text box 314, for a user, such as user 102A, using a live application embedded in a document. The live application may make a call to an appropriate component, such as “quip.apps.ui.RichTextBox” during an execution of the live application. Cloud collaboration platform 110 may display the rich text box and extend all requisite styles and functions to the rich text box so that auto-completion, mentioning, and other related functionalities may be applied by the live application. More than one rich text box may be displayed by a live application and/or a document may be displayed for users 102, and the rich text box may be identified with a unique identifier and other identifying characteristics.

In 604, cloud collaboration platform 110 may receive an editing notification from user 102A. For example, user 102A may click on the rich text box and edit the data in the rich text box by adding additional text or deleting the text therein. The live application may send the editing notification in any transmission format suited to this purpose. In some embodiments, cloud collaboration platform 110 may employ sequence number 236 or other conflict resolution technique to resolve conflicts that arise if the fringe scenario in which multiple editing notifications are received simultaneously or near-simultaneously.

In 606, cloud collaboration platform 110 may lock the rich text box to prevent any other accounts, such as user 102B, from editing the rich text box. Users 102 may no longer be able to click on the rich text box to edit the value therein. In an embodiment, the rich text box may have a “disabled” status flag attached to the rich text box, thereby preventing user 102B's browser from updating the record. However, other suitable disabling techniques may be applied to lock other accounts out of editing the record.

In 608, cloud collaboration platform 110 may display an image for user 102B and other accounts viewing the document and/or live application in light of the locked rich text box. In an embodiment, the image may be profile picture or other identifying image associated with the account of user 102A enabling user 102B to immediately identify a specific account locking the rich text box. In some embodiments, user 102B may be able to click or otherwise input on the profile picture to load additional options 318. Additional options 318 may provide a manner of taking over the editing of the record by user 102B, wherein a takeover notification is sent to cloud collaboration platform 110, user 102A's edits are saved, and user 102B may begin to edit the rich text box.

In 610, cloud collaboration platform 110 may receive completed edits from user 102B, for example, when user 102B presses a return key, clicks off of the rich text box, or otherwise completes the editing process. The viewing device may then send the update to cloud collaboration platform 110 for storage on the server-side, i.e., in data 122. The live application and/or device may send cloud collaboration platform 110 a editing-completed notification to alert the system that the record/rich text box is no longer being edited and/or locked.

In 612, cloud collaboration platform 110 may unlock other accounts based on the received editing-completed notification. For user 102B, the image displayed in 608 indicating that the record was locked may disappear, thus alerting user 102B that the record may be edited.
