Abstract: Augmented reality enables an operator to visualize values of parameters of audio channels during audio mixing. A heads-up display worn by the operator, such as smart glasses, displays virtual graphical objects representing the parameters so that they appear within a three-dimensional space surrounding the operator and an audio mixing console. Parameter values are represented by the location, size, and other attributes of the virtual graphical objects. The operator adjusts the parameter values using physical and touch controls on the console and by manipulating the virtual objects with a body part such as a finger. Sensors mounted on the heads-up display and on other body parts capture position and movement of the operator in real time and send the captured data to a system running augmented reality control software. Graphical user interfaces of a media processing application controlled by the console and of plug-in modules may also be displayed on the heads-up display.

In another embodiment, a computer device has a keyboard and at least one sensor arranged to monitor at least a subset of keys on the keyboard, and detect an object within a predefined distance of a selected key prior to activation of the selected key. The processor then controls the display device to display a representation of a portion of the keyboard comprising the selected key.

Abstract: The present document describes system and method for securing a text against copying and tampering. The system introduces a reversible change within the instructions contained in the electronic page description language defining the text. In a non-limiting example, the reversible change may include replacing the font used in the PDL by a customized font defining a set of changes from the standard/existing fonts. The system may then generate a set of instructions reversing the set of changes to display the proper text to the user. However, should any tampering or illegal copying of the text occur, the original text will not be displayed because a portion of the reversible change is not present. The reversible changes introduced may affect character sizes, colors, spacing, positions, mapping etc.

The wearable device includes a first display having a first size, a processor, and a memory storing instructions thereon that, when executed, allow the processor to display, through the first display, a user interface for obtaining a text input, transmit, to an external device that includes a second display having a second size, a request for obtaining the text input through the external device, receive, from the external device, input information related to the text input obtained through the external device, and display the received input information in the user interface.

Abstract: In one example, a document rendering device may create a document from a document tree by determining whether a style property of a source node of the document tree may be applied to a target node of that document tree. The document rendering device may store a document tree having multiple nodes describing a document having component arranged hierarchically in a parent-child relationship. The document rendering device may identify a styling permission describing whether a target node representing a child component of the document tree permits application of a style property to the target node. The document rendering device may execute an inheritance determination for the target node based on the styling permission to determine whether the target node inherits the style property from a source node representing a parent component. The document rendering device may render the target node based on the inheritance determination to create a document component of the document.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a digital document on a receiving mobile device from limited data that is transmitted to the device is disclosed. A shortened form of Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is sent and expanded to a longer URL that contains presentation data. The presentation data may include further nested shortened URLs to retrieve digital document components. Condensing techniques for transferring both presentation and location data further reduce transmission size. The combined retrieved data defines the content and presentation of a generated digital document.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are described to extend text on a path. The path, for instance, may be user specified and configured to control placement of subsequent text in a user interface. During entry of the text, the computing device detects that the text inputs overflow the input path. In response, the computing device generates a path that is linked to the input path to include the text that is to overflow the input path, e.g., through the use of threading. The generated path is then plotted in the user interface for inclusion of the overflow of text in the user interface, such as to mimic a shape of the input path after translation or scaling at the translated location.

The method includes receiving a first request to convert an original ED including a visible object from a first format to a second format; extracting, in response to the first request, multiple attributes in the original ED specifying the visible object and required to restore the visible object in the first format; generating, by converting the original ED from the first format to the second format, a converted ED including rendering data of the visible object that is grammatically native to the second format and that is necessary to render the visible object from the second format; and embedding the attributes extracted from the original ED into metadata of the converted ED.

Abstract: Slicers are configured to filter tabular data arranged in columns. A user may use the slicers to filter tabular data from a client application and/or a server based application/service. Slicers may be created for one or more columns and for all/portion of the tabular data within a column. Selection of a slicer element filters the associated tabular data and updates a display of the other slicers. Interaction with the slicers may also update other user interface controls that filter the tabular data (e.g. selecting a slicer element changes a value of a filtering setting in a drop down menu and/or selecting the filtering setting in the drop down menu changes a state of a slicer element). A slicer element may be associated with other objects in the spreadsheet and/or included within one or more functions of a spreadsheet.
