A communication device (e.g., a data system on a module (DSoM)/a Data System in a Package (DSiP)) for communicatively coupling a computing device with a cloud-based service to synchronize one or more data modifications, on an asynchronous basis with respect to one another is provided. The communication device may be configured to be communicatively coupled to the computing device and may include a wireless cellular transceiver. The communication device may be configured to one or more of transmit at least one data object from the computing device to the cloud-based service and receive at least one data object from the cloud-based service. Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a distributed replicated spatiotemporal database packaged on a communication device and integrated with an internet-based secure communication hub.

Data system on a module (DSoM) for connecting computing devices and cloud-based services

A method for providing access to a communication includes generating a timed key table in device nonvolatile memory, storing archival copies of the timed key table within enterprise environments, encrypting a master secret with the currently applicable key of the timed key table, generating an encrypted timed key table by encrypting the timed key table with a public key, sending data on an encrypted session from a communication device to a server over a network, sending the encrypted master secret and encrypted timed key table from the communication device over the network, decrypting the encrypted timed key table with a private key, decrypting the encrypted master secret sent from the communication device using at least a subset of an unencrypted timed key table to obtain the master secret, and decrypting the encrypted data sent from the communication device using the unencrypted master secret. The timed key table includes information that identifies a locked communication device such that the information, which includes one or more of an IMEI, a WiFi MAC address, and a BT MAC address, is used to verify physical possession of the locked communication device.

Providing low risk exceptional access with verification of device possession

A communication hub configured to be communicatively coupled to a communication device (e.g., a data system on a module (DSoM)/a Data System in a Package (DSiP)) and a cloud-based service is provided. The communication hub may be configured to organize the communication devices into one or more communication device groups, wherein the communication devices are communicatively coupled to one or more computing devices. The communication hub may be configured to associate one or more routes with the communication device groups, wherein the routes are configured to route data objects between the communication devices and the cloud-based service. The communication hub may be configured to asynchronously, with respect to the computing devices, route the data objects between the communication devices and the cloud-based service. Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a distributed replicated spatiotemporal database packaged on a communication device and integrated with an internet-based secure communication hub.

A method and system for providing unencrypted access to encrypted data that may be stored on a device, sent as a message, or sent as a real-time communications stream. The method may include using public key cryptography to securely enable accessing the encrypted data stored on a device or communicated by a device. For instance, the method may include using a device vendor's public key to securely enable that vendor to enable only authorized parties to themselves decrypt previously-encrypted device storage, messages, or real-time communications streams.

Providing low risk exceptional access

A method and system for providing unencrypted access to encrypted data that may be stored on a device, sent as a message, or sent as a real-time communications stream. The method may include using public key cryptography to securely enable accessing the encrypted data stored on a device or communicated by a device. For instance, the method may include using a device vendor's public key to securely enable that vendor to enable only authorized parties to themselves decrypt previously-encrypted device storage, messages, or real-time communications streams. As an added layer of cybersecurity, the method may include a proof of possession verification process that authenticates the identity of an authorized party before any decryption data is provided.

A single device that receives communications, resources, data, and/or other information intended for a user having multiple contact addresses is provided. The single device can receive various information intended for multiple telephone numbers, email aliases, screen names, aliases, other means of contact, or combinations thereof. The device can selectively forward the information to the user based on a current user role, user preferences, contact information, or based on other criteria. If information is to be forwarded to the user at substantially the same time as receipt, automatic means of notifying the user of the role for which the communication is intended are provided.

Single device with multiple personas

Systems, methods, and data structures for augmenting data placed on the clipboard with additional data are disclosed. Where the data placed on the clipboard may include one or more references to other information, such systems, methods, or data structures may retrieve data referred to by a reference and place such data, or data associated with the retrieved data, on the clipboard.

Clipboard augmentation with references

Methods and systems for integrated communications are pro-vided. In one embodiment, a user input is received via a user interface. Media data is received in response to receiving the user input. The media data is streamed to one or more communication system users. In some embodiments, the media data is posted to a shared virtual space associated with a communication system channel. Other methods and systems are described.

Communication system

Systems, methods, data structures and/or the like are provided for placing copy data, supplemental, and/or additional data on a clipboard, for example. The copy data may comprise a reference to supplemental data, such as HTML data (e.g., a social media data from an HTML social media webpage). The supplemental data may be retrieved using the reference, and placed within the clipboard. In this way, the copy data and the supplemental data may be available within the clipboard.

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed herein for relaying a request to a process running on a computing device from a web client and receiving a response from the process. A bridge message client disposed in a web application, running in a browser on a computer, opens a local connection to a process running outside the browser. The bridge message client comprises a communication channel ID that identifies a communication channel to host the local connection to a bridge server, and a bridge message client ID facilitates communications from the bridge server to the web application. The bridge server is disposed outside of the browser environment, and can receive a request from the bridge message client and forward it to the process, and/or can receive a response to the request from the process and forward it to the bridge message client over the local connection.

Communication channel between web application and process outside browser

Determining user use context for electronic messaging and disseminating a subset of the user use context to recipients and/or senders of such electronic message is disclosed herein. By way of example, the user use context can be based on a general context of recipients, such as speed with which a message is disseminated or consumed, number of child messages spawned, rate at which such messages are spawned, and so on. Additionally, user use context can also be based on individual context, by comparing individual interaction to a message (e.g., time to read, time to delete, number of child messages, etc.), with a baseline usage context determined for the individual. The context can be disseminated to recipients of the message or to the sender, to provide an overview of perception of the electronic message.

User perception of electronic messaging

Methods and systems for integrated communications are provided. In one embodiment, a user input is received via a user interface. Media data is received in response to receiving the user input. The media data is streamed to one or more communication system users. In some embodiments, the media data is posted to a shared virtual space associated with a communication system channel. Other methods and systems are described.
