  • Patent number: 11922110
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for generating responsive documents are described. Digital content is organized into a structure that defines how content is presented when a document is displayed by a computing device. To generate the responsive document, relationships are defined among different digital content objects, such as groups of content objects to be presented together and content objects that are to be presented as alternatives of one another. Responsive patterns are assigned to grouped content objects, where each responsive pattern defines different layout configurations for displaying grouped content objects based on computing device display characteristics. In some implementations, multiple responsive patterns are assigned to a single content group and individual responsive patterns are associated with activation ranges for display characteristics that activate the responsive pattern.

  • Patent number: 11809805
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for detecting that a requesting user is transmitting a request to a recipient user to perform one or more tasks with respect to a secure document. The system extracts features associated with the secure document and inputs the features into a machine learning model that outputs one or more probabilities corresponding to a potential failure of the request. Based on the one or more probabilities, the system generates one or more feature modification activities to improve a likelihood of the recipient user completing the request. The system provides the one or more feature modification activities to at least one of the requesting user and the recipient user.

  • Patent number: 11797767
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for generating multiple scanned files when scanning a document. The method includes receiving a document for scanning from a user. Once received, a user interface is displayed to the user to input one or more keywords based on which multiple scanned files are to be generated. A single scanned file is generated in a pre-defined format. One or more pages having the keywords as input by the user are identified from the scanned file. Based on the one or more identified pages having the keywords input by the user, separate multiple scanned files are automatically generated. As a result, a single scan activity performed by the user generates multiple scanned files.

  • Patent number: 11755821
    Abstract: A highlighting engine modifies a target document by identifying and highlighting a set of text passages. The highlighting engine receives a training set of data including documents that each include a set of highlighted text passages. The highlighting engine trains a machine learned model using the training set of data. The trained machine learned model, when applied to subsequent identified candidate sets of text passages within the target document, identifies the set of text passages to highlight. The highlighting engine modifies the target document with the highlighted set of text passages and provides the modified target document for display via an interface. The highlighted set of text passages enable a user to quickly read and understand the target document.

  • Patent number: 11734498
    Abstract: Systems and methods of editing a user experience by a what you see is what you get (wysiwyg) editor are disclosed. A system obtains a visible portion of a document object model for a document, with the visible portion including one or more visible objects to be presented to a user during a user experience. Instead of the visible portion being generated by the wysiwyg editor (thus requiring the visible portion to be rendered again at a later time by a rendering engine), the visible portion to be used is generated by the rendering engine based on a schema of the document. To allow such, the system generates and outputs an overlay to be placed on the visible portion during display of the visible portion, with the overlay to receive user inputs to the visible portion and thus prevent user interaction with the visible portion.
