  • Patent number: 11960525
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for automatically formatting content items for presentation. For example, in response to receiving an invocation of a presentation mode for a content item, a computing device can generate a tree structure representing the structure of the content item. The computing device can generate a presentation version of the content item based on a presentation template that defines the presentation formatting for the content item. The computing device can traverse the tree and determine a portion of the presentation version of the content item to present based on the amount of content that can fit within a display size of a display device. In some implementations, the computing device can determine portions of content to suppress and/or highlight based on various characteristics, metadata, comments, links, etc., corresponding to the portions of content in the content item.

  • Patent number: 11954433
    Abstract: Techniques for visualizing text expressions in spreadsheet cells by mapping syntactic elements of the text expressions to two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) configurations of elements, and displaying the 2D or 3D configurations in a graphical user interface, wherein the syntactic relationships between syntactic elements in the text expressions are rendered as spatial relationships between the elements in the 2D or 3D configuration. In one embodiment, a method for converting a text expression into a 2D or 3D configuration includes selecting a spreadsheet cell based on input received from a user input device, wherein the spreadsheet cell comprises a text expression, parsing the text expression, using a logic subsystem, into at least a first syntactic element, mapping the first syntactic element, using the logic subsystem, to a first 2D or 3D element, and displaying the first element in a graphical user interface via a display subsystem.

  • Patent number: 11947588
    Abstract: Data points, calendar entries, trends, and behavioral patterns may be used to predict and pre-emptively build digital and printable products with selected collections of images without the user's active participation. The collections are selected from files on the user's device, cloud-based photo library, or other libraries shared among other individuals and grouped into thematic products. Based on analysis of the user's collections and on-line behaviors, the system may estimate types and volumes of potential media-centric products, and the resources needed for producing and distributing such media-centric products for a projected period of time. A user interface may take the form of a “virtual curator”, which is a graphical or animated persona for augmenting and managing interactions between the user and the system managing the user's stored media assets. The virtual curator can assume one of many personas with each user and can interact with the user via text/audio messaging.

  • Patent number: 11935317
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides an information processing apparatus that is capable of generating information about contents of a written work more accurately than conventionally possible. The information processing apparatus includes a determination device, a selector, and a generator. The determination device determines whether a first object and a first property that are mentioned in a first electronic document and that are estimated to be in an association relationship are in accordance with a definition of the association relationship between an object and a property. In a case where the first object and the first property are determined to be not in accordance with the definition, the selector selects, instead of the first object, a second object that is in the association relationship with the first property. The generator generates relationship information indicating that the first electronic document is related to the second object.

  • Patent number: 11907651
    Abstract: The information processing apparatus analyzes the results of modification performed by user for a recommended character string and determines whether there is an excess or a lack in units of predetermined character string areas in a recommended area corresponding to the recommended character string. In a case where it is determined that there is an excess or a lack as a result of the determination, a recommended character string that eliminates the excess or the lack is specified. Then, area information for specifying the recommended area, which is registered in a database, is updated so that the character string corresponding to the specified recommended area becomes the recommended character string.

  • Patent number: 11880413
    Abstract: This disclosure covers systems and methods that retrieve and transform a requested dataset into a data shape that a widget specifies for visualization. In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods respond to data requests for widgets by retrieving datasets formatted according to different data models for different platforms. The systems and methods then transform the datasets into a data shape specified by the widgets. By transforming requested datasets to conform to data shapes specified by widgets, the disclosed systems and methods orchestrate the update of a widget (or multiple instances of a widget) with data that originally conformed to different data models and, in some cases, was formatted for different software applications.

  • Patent number: 11848848
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a first function is performed on the first document received at first middleware management architecture, causing a change in the status of the first document. The change is logged in a record corresponding to the first document in a memory. Then the first document is sent to a second network via a transmission protocol layer. A notification of a change in the status of the first document within the second layer is received in a layer other than the transmission protocol layer, from the second network. The change in the second network is logged in the record corresponding to the first document in the memory. Information corresponding to the change in the status of the first document at the middleware management architecture and the change in the status of the first document in the second network is reported to the first network.
