  • Patent number: 10152473
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an English input method and device. The English input method includes the following steps. An input English character string having an original length is received. A target length is calculated based on the original length of the English character string. A target English word having a length between the original length and the target length is looked up. A longest common length between the target English words and the English character string is calculated, where the common length refers to a length of identical letters. The target English words are returned when the longest common length is equal to N times the target length, where N is a positive number less than or equal to 1. Even when a user forgets the exact spelling of an English word or enters only a fraction of the spelling, the user may still obtain the required English word based on the inputted English character string, substantially improving operability.

  • Patent number: 10049085
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to presenting and synchronizing views of electronic document. In particular, a view management system can synchronize and present multiple synchronized views of an electronic document for display on a client device. For example, the view management system can present multiple views of an electronic document and bind one or more of the views with a model. In response to detecting a user interaction with respect to a view, the view management system can cause a client device to apply the user interaction to each of multiple views (e.g., each view that is bound to the model). By synchronizing views, the view management system can enable a user to conveniently observe how one or more user interactions with respect to a view would appear across multiple views of an electronic document.

  • Patent number: 10003671
    Abstract: A capture and replay system identifies images displayed during an application session. A parser may generate Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code from an application resource file or from the JSON post made by the application. A replay engine may use the HTML code to recreate at least some of the screens displayed during the application session. The capture and replay system may dynamically identify images that are not reproduced from the resources database and request an agent/(s) to asynchronously upload the image files associated with the images. The replay engine may use the uploaded image files to replay the application session. The capture and replay system may capture application sessions more efficiently by reproducing images from the resource file instead of capturing the images during the original application session and by dynamically requesting image files for the images were are not previously reproduced from the resource file.
