Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for analyzing an unstructured document that includes a number of words. Each word is an associated set of glyphs and each glyph has location coordinates. The method identifies clusters of words based on the location coordinates. Based on the identified clusters, the method defines a set of boundary elements for the glyphs that identify a set of borders for the glyphs. The method defines a structured document for the unstructured document based on the glyphs and the defined boundary elements. To identify clusters of words, the method orders the location coordinates and identifies several partitions of the location coordinates. Each partition specifies a particular grouping of the coordinates into subsets. For each partition, the method identifies a particular set of subsets of location values that satisfy a particular set of constraints and determines a set of subsets of location values that optimizes a particular measure.

Abstract: A method of rendering a web page at a client computer identifies a web page selected by a user. The web page references a loadable script that is separate from the web page. The script includes executable code and function definitions. While rendering the web page in a browser or other client resident application, a variable is instantiated to retain information on web page events occurring at the client computer. The script loads asynchronously so that the web page is operable within the client computer system while the script is being loaded. Before the script is fully loaded, one or more command strings representing functions defined in the script are inserted into the variable. After the plurality of function definitions in the script are loaded, one or more functions in the script corresponding to the one or more command strings that were inserted into the variable are executed.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a selector unit that selects a character string, an element specifying unit that specifies a first element from among elements defined by a document structure definition controlling a document into which the selected character string is inserted, an insertion destination specifying unit that specifies an insertion destination within the document, and a shifting unit that determines whether the first element is able to have a character string as an element, searches the document structure definition for a second element that is lower than the first element and is able to have a character string, searches the document structure definition for an element to be inserted between the first element and the second element, generates an insertion element by interpolating between the first element and the second element with the element to be inserted, and shifts the insertion element to the insertion destination.

Abstract: The described captive portal techniques cause client devices to render and display designated web pages. One designated web page may be different than a requested web page such as when a client is not authorized to access the requested page and is instead caused to display a login portal. The captive portal may modify the designated web page to ensure that relative links lacking base domains now have specified base domains pointing to an authorized web server. The modified content is sent from the captive portal to the client device for display. Client web browser security measures related to redirection messages are thereby bypassed and load on the captive portal is minimal. Another designated web page may be the same as the requested web page such as when the requested page is an authorized page even for non-logged in clients. Authorized pages may be modified to add a login link.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying user interface behavior according to page element identifier pre-classification. For example, a number of content page (e.g., webpage) element identifiers (e.g., object classes or identifiers) are pre-classified as linking to associated media objects. When a content page or domain is requested by a user's web interface, the response is intercepted and analyzed to see if it has pre-classified element identifiers. If so, a script is injected in the webpage code or otherwise communicated to the requesting web interface, and the script is executed at the client side. Having executed the script, when a user interacts with a page element having one of the pre-classified element identifiers, the user interface is modified to provide enhanced functionality relating to the media object linked to by the page element.
