ESTABLISHMENT OF PERSISTENT CONNECTION BETWEEN FILE ATTACHMENTS UPLOADED TO CLOUD STORAGE AND ASSOCIATED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187483 titled 'ESTABLISHMENT OF PERSISTENT CONNECTION BETWEEN FILE ATTACHMENTS UPLOADED TO CLOUD STORAGE AND ASSOCIATED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for establishing a persistent connection between file attachments uploaded to cloud storage and associated electronic communications. This allows for interactive functions such as editing and saving files within a communication application user interface.

  • Files attached to electronic communications can be stored and presented in a user interface with interactive functions.
  • Upon selecting an interactive function, a copy of the file can be uploaded to a cloud storage location and opened in a productivity application.
  • A link to the file at the cloud storage location is stored as a property of the file with the electronic communication, maintaining a connection between the two.
  • Subsequently, the copy of the file at the cloud storage location can be opened by selecting an interactive function.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing collaboration and productivity in team communication. - Streamlining file management within electronic communications.

Problems Solved: - Simplifying the process of accessing and editing file attachments in electronic communications. - Ensuring a seamless connection between files and cloud storage.

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in managing and accessing file attachments. - Enhanced collaboration and communication within teams.

Commercial Applications: Title: Streamlined File Management System for Enhanced Team Collaboration This technology can be utilized in various industries such as marketing, design, and project management to streamline file management processes and enhance team collaboration.

Prior Art: There are existing systems for cloud storage and file management, but the specific feature of establishing a persistent connection between file attachments and electronic communications may be novel.

Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research on improving the integration of cloud storage with communication applications to enhance productivity and collaboration.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve workflow efficiency in team communication? 2. What are the potential security implications of storing file attachments in cloud storage within electronic communications?


Original Abstract Submitted

examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for establishing a persistent connection between file attachments uploaded to cloud storage and associated electronic communications. an electronic communication including an attached file may be stored and presented in a communication application user interface that includes interactive functions, such as edit and save functions. upon selection of an interactive function, a copy of the file may be uploaded to a cloud storage location and, in some examples, opened in a productivity application. a link to the file at the cloud storage location may be stored as a property of the file that is stored with the electronic communication. resultantly, a connection may be maintained between the file at the cloud storage location and the electronic communication. based on this connection, the copy of the file at the cloud storage location may be opened upon a subsequent selection of an interactive function.
