Abstract: For a document with content that has been structured into a set primitive areas, a novel method for performing contiguous selection of document content across different primitive areas in the document is disclosed. The method defines a contiguous section in the ordered list by identifying the first and last primitive elements of the contiguous selection. The first primitive element is identified as the primitive element that is closest in reading flow to a start selection point on the page, while the last primitive element is identified as the primitive element that is closest in reading flow to an end selection point on the page.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that defines a group of associated graphic objects for display on a display device. The method defines a set of operations to perform on the associated graphic objects in a particular order. The operations include one or more transforms applied to at least one of the graphic objects. For each particular transform applied to a set of the graphic objects, each graphic object in the set has a set of parameters indicating whether the graphic object is affected by each of a set of primitive transforms of the particular transform. The method stores the set of associated graphic objects and set of operations as a single graphic object.

Abstract: A pre-sale offer system (150) can advantageously provide a consumer (209, 234) who has selected an item for purchase with a pre-sale offer corresponding to the selected item to influence the consumer's buying decision. A pre-sale offer can constitute an incentive to buy a competing item. Alternatively, the pre-sale offer could constitute an advertisement or other promotional material that would reinforce the decision to buy the identified item. Further, the pre sale offer could include an advertisement, a coupon or other promotional material for one or more companion items, for example incremental ingredients that complete a recipe associated with the identified item.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for text entry includes receiving entered text from a user, selecting a set of candidate sequences for completing or continuing the sequence, and presenting the candidate sequences to the user, wherein the candidate sequences include partial words. The candidate sequences are identified based on usage frequency weights stored in a tree data structure. A graphical user interface for text entry includes displaying a current input sequence of characters and the identified partial words.

Abstract: Generating code is disclosed. A specification of one or more translation patterns is received. The one or more translation patterns are used to generate at least a portion of code associated with a translator. Using the one or more translation patterns to generate at least a portion of code associated with the translator results in the translator being configured to create a target object model. Creating the target object model includes populating one or more elements of the target object model in a processing order at least in part associated with an order of elements in the one or more translation patterns.

Abstract: The provision of visual responses to touch inputs is disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a computing device comprising a touch-sensitive display, a processor in operative communication with the touch-sensitive display, and memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to detect a touch input made via the touch-sensitive display, display on the touch-sensitive display a first visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch input was detected by the computing device, and if the touch input is made in a touch-interactive area on the touch-sensitive display, then to display a second visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch was made in the touch-interactive area of the display.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for displaying a structured document that includes a hierarchy of structural elements. The hierarchy is constructed by analyzing an unstructured document. The method displays the structured document on a device. The method receives a selection of a position of interest in the document. Based on the position of interest, the method identifies a structural element within the hierarchy as a region of interest. The method modifies the display of the document to highlight the identified region of interest.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for defining structure for an unstructured document that includes a number of primitive elements that are defined in terms of their position in the document. The method identifies a pairwise grouping of nearest primitive elements. The method sorts the pairwise primitive elements based on an order from the closest to the furthest pairs. The method stores a single value that identifies which of the pairwise primitive elements are sufficiently far apart to form a partition. The method uses the stored value to identify and analyze the partitions in order to define structural elements for the document.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for analyzing an unstructured document that includes a number of words. Each word is an associated set of glyphs and each glyph has location coordinates. The method identifies clusters of words based on the location coordinates. Based on the identified clusters, the method defines a set of boundary elements for the glyphs that identify a set of borders for the glyphs. The method defines a structured document for the unstructured document based on the glyphs and the defined boundary elements. To identify clusters of words, the method orders the location coordinates and identifies several partitions of the location coordinates. Each partition specifies a particular grouping of the coordinates into subsets. For each partition, the method identifies a particular set of subsets of location values that satisfy a particular set of constraints and determines a set of subsets of location values that optimizes a particular measure.
