  • Patent number: 10776563
    Abstract: Systems and methods to improve a technological process for signing documents are described. The system accesses a portable document format (PDF) file and a first signature tag marker element (STME) to parse the PDF to generate logical text block elements (LTBE). The LTBEs describe original document elements in the PDF including a first LTBE. The system sorts each LTBE against the first STME to pair the first LTBE with the first STME based on proximity. The system generates markup language information (MLI) for utilization at the client device (CD) for rendering a responsive markup language image (RMLI) in a responsive format and communicates the MLI to a CD for rendering the RMLI on the CD. The system receives the signing information from the CD causing the signing information to be associated with the first signature tag marker identifier and communicates the PDF and the signing information to the CD.

  • Patent number: 10771863
    Abstract: The described methods, systems, and computer program products enable media composition editors to tag compositional objects with editorial rendition rules that specify how rendering decisions are to be made and how source media assets are to be selected and processed to generate an output rendering of a media composition that adheres to the editor's rendition-related choices. The editorially-specified rendition rules include spatial-type rules, temporal-type rules, and color-type rules, and generally pertain to the spatial, temporal, and color ranges and resolutions to be included within a rendition. When a rendition of a media composition is to be generated, a rendition engine interprets and applies the editorial rendition rules to generate and output the rendition in accordance with rendition parameters supplied to the rendition engine by a rendition profile, and, in some cases, by the media composition and the source media assets.

  • Patent number: 10740541
    Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to validate statements made as part of a document creation or editing process. As the user edits or creates a document using a document creation/editing application, statements made in the document can be submitted to a validation service in a proactive or reactive manner. The statement validation service receives the statement, resolves any coreferences using a coreference resolution process. Once coreferences in the statement have been resolved and replaced, entities are resolved using an entity resolution process. Predicates are then resolved using a predicate resolution process. Entity-predicate pairs are then used to traverse a knowledge graph to extract information relevant to the statement. Suggested corrections are created from the extracted information and presented to the user via the document creation/editing application.

  • Patent number: 10719571
    Abstract: Content rendered for display on a first client device can be referenced for similar pages to be displayed on other client devices such that similar content does not need to be re-rendered. Each client can have a respective virtual rendering engine on a host device, and the content rendered by those virtual engines can be mapped and used to generate content trees for different pages or other groupings of content. When a new page is to be rendered, the tiles or other portions matching previously-rendered tiles can be referenced, so that only new or unique portions need to be rendered for a particular page. The content can come from multiple locations as rendered by multiple virtual clients, such that for many clients the respective virtual engine may not render any content but instead reference rendered content from one or more locations as determined according to the page tree.
