  • Modifying electronic data layout for efficient printing of electronic data
    Patent number: 8937744
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for modifying a layout associated with data to reduce the amount of paper used when generating a paper copy of the data. Responsive to receiving an input to modify a layout associated with data presented on a computing device for printing, the layout is modified. In one embodiment, a type associated with the data is determined, and a modified layout is generated based on the type. For example, the layout is differently modified if the data is an electronic document, a spreadsheet, a Web page or another type of data. In one embodiment, the modified layout is displayed on a display and the data and the modified layout are transmitted to a printer responsive to an input confirming the modified layout.

  • Contextual Just in Time Learning System and Method
    Publication number: 20130316320
    Abstract: A system and method of presenting context-sensitive learning assets, such as videos or other files, in a user interface. The user interface components send an identifier of the context of a user interface to a learning platform, which is used to identify content descriptors for the appropriate learning assets. The content descriptors are sent back to the user interface, where the learning assets described by the content descriptors can be viewed by the user. The system and method uses one of three modes for creating content descriptors. In Static Mode, a unique identifier is sent from the user interface and the content descriptors that are identified by that identifier are returned. In Dynamic Metadata-Driven Mode, metadata is sent, and rules determine which content descriptors are returned. In Dynamic Content-Driven mode, the entire page content being viewed is analyzed and specific search algorithms determine which content descriptors are returned.
