  • Patent number: 11030395
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for displaying annotation(s) of an electronic document. User input to review (e.g., scroll) the electronic document is received, until a selected portion of the electronic document is displayed within a viewport pane of a display. In response to the review input, annotation(s) (e.g., comment(s), comment thread(s), annotation thread(s)) anchored within the selected portion of the electronic document displayed within the viewport pane are identified. Which annotation of the annotation(s) to visually distinguish for a focus of the user is determined. The identified annotation(s) are displayed in an annotation pane, with the determined annotation visually distinguished (highlighted) for the focus of the user. In some embodiments, the anchor associated with the determined annotation is also visually distinguished to provide a contextual link to the user and/or hint(s) that provided a visual signal of annotation(s) associated with an anchor on a particular line are displayed.

  • Patent number: 11017179
    Abstract: A summarizer can be invoked by a user to summarize content. Once started, the summarizer can examine the content, determine a main body of the content, extract texts from the main body, concatenate the texts into a text block, and make a call to an artificial intelligence (AI) platform. The call can contain the text block and specify a user-configurable summarization range for summarizing the text block. The AI platform is operable to generate a sentiment of the text block and a summary of the text block in the summarization range and return them to the summarizer. The summarizer, in turn, can instruct an application on the user device to generate a window or page for displaying the sentiment and the summary in the summarization range on the user device, in real time and in context of the content that the user is viewing, reading, or listening.

  • Patent number: 11010547
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and applying outgoing communication templates. In various implementations a corpus of outgoing communications sent by a user may be grouped into a plurality of clusters based on one or more attributes of a context of the user. One or more segments of each outgoing communication of a particular cluster may be classified as fixed in response to a determination that a count of occurrences of the one or more segments across the particular cluster satisfies a criterion. One or more remaining segments of each communication of the particular cluster may or may not be classified as transient. Based on sequences of classified segments associated with each communication of the particular cluster, an outgoing communication template may be generated to automatically populate at least a portion of a draft outgoing communication being prepared by the user.

  • Patent number: 10963629
    Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment interfaces with storage devices that store shared content. A user retrieves a web-based application from the server. The web-based application comprises a set of native operating system application code, a web content viewer, and a native operating system interface, which are configured to facilitate a transfer of one or more objects between the native operating system application code and the web content viewer. In response to a user upload request, the server generates an object placeholder in an editable document. Using the native operating system application code, objects can be selected for incorporation into the editable document. Shared access to the editable document and shared access to uploaded objects are provided by the server by posting links to locations in the storage devices. The web-based application replaces the object placeholder with a link to the object as stored by the server.

  • Patent number: 10936797
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and computer products for providing state-based revisions in a document collaboration system. In some aspects, a plurality of users may be simultaneously editing the same document on their respective computing devices. The document may comprise a plurality of editable objects having unique objects identifiers. In such aspects, when a user edits an object in a local version of the document, a state-based revision (“SBR”) record is created. The SBR is populated with information such as, information describing the type of object being edited, a descriptor that uniquely identifies the specific instance of the object being edited, a collection of common references that can be adjusted by the document collaboration engine and an opaque binary stream comprising the modified state of the edited object. The SBR record is then transmitted to one or more additional devices.

  • Patent number: 10810262
    Abstract: One or more client instances hosted by a platform may support access to a cloud-based application to select a dashboard, such as via a client device. Each dashboard includes one or more visualizations of analytic or summary information. When a user of the client device accesses the cloud-based application, a subset of dashboards are initially provided based on recent usage history of dashboards. Specifically, the cloud-based application determines if the user has access to each dashboard of the subset of dashboards and, in response to determining the user does have access to a dashboard, displays the dashboard within the subset of dashboards. The user may select a dashboard from the subset of dashboards, where the selected dashboard is displayed on the client device.
