  • Patent number: 11238215
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for generating a social asset from an electronic publication. The system includes providing a template having a set of reserve spaces for elements. The system receives an electronic publication containing elements including images and text passages. The system assigns images from the publication to each of the reserve spaces for images including assigning a first image from the publication to a first one of the reserve spaces for an image. The system chooses a first one of the text passages for associating with the first image. The system selects a portion of less than all of the first text passage. The system generates a social asset by processing the set of reserve spaces to automatically move forward in an animated manner wherein the selected portion of the first text passage superimposes a portion of the first image.

  • Patent number: 11163944
    Abstract: A method to automatically position entered content into a matching entry field of an online form accessed from a computing device. A position of an active cursor relative to entry fields of the online form is determined. An expected character and format set is determined for the entry fields of the online form. A first character and format set entered at a first entry field is analyzed to determine whether the entered character and format set matches an expected characters and format set, based on machine learning training for entry field content and format. In response to the character and format set entered in the first entry field failing to match the expected character and format set for the first entry field, entering the first character and format set in a second entry field with a highest match probability between the expected and entered character and format set.

  • Patent number: 11064268
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a media content annotation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive a first version of media content and a second version of the media content altered with respect to the first version, and to map each of multiple segments of the first version of the media content to a corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content. The software code further aligns each of the segments of the first version of the media content with its corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content, and utilizes metadata associated with each of at least some of the segments of the first version of the media content to annotate its corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content.

  • Patent number: 11055479
    Abstract: Techniques for obtaining electronic signatures via word processing applications are described. One approach utilizes a code module, also referred to as a “markup module,” that executes within a word processing application and that facilitates the preparation of a document for electronic signature. A user can operate the word processing application together with the markup module in order to add signature tag markers to the document and to provide recipient information about intended signers, such as names and email addresses. Once the document has been prepared, the code module transmits the document (including the added signature tag markers) and the recipient information to a digital transaction service. The digital transaction service then manages the signing of the document, such as by notifying the recipient, receiving the recipient's signature and securely storing the signature in association with the document.
