Application: Activity-based content object access permissions (Patent ID: US20240037266A1)
The patent filed by Box Inc. describes methods, systems, and computer program products for content management systems that automatically determine activity-based content object access permissions and make recommendations for such permissions. A machine learning model is created from user interactions with content objects, continually updated based on ongoing observations. When a collaborative relationship is initiated, the model is used to assign access permissions to the relationship, covering multiple collaboration objects. These permissions can be automatically assigned or presented as recommendations to the invitor, who can accept or reject them.
The method outlined in the patent involves generating a training dataset from user interaction events, training a model based on these events, and assigning access roles and permissions to invitees in a collaborative relationship based on analysis results. The interaction events involve various entities such as users and content objects, with permissions allowing different types of access. The method further includes generating feature structures, determining interaction event groups, and creating a collaboration network data structure to characterize entity relationships. Additionally, the trained model is validated and optimized based on target tolerances, ensuring efficient and accurate assignment of access permissions in collaborative relationships.
