Abstract: A method and a file networking system (FNS) transform a content file into a content-centric social network with managed connectivity and indexable touchpoints. The FNS injects a tracking code with widgets for user activities into each portable copy of the content file when user devices request access to the content file before distributing the portable copies to the user devices through a network. The FNS establishes a bidirectional communication with the distributed portable copies (DPCs) through the network to receive tracking information including user created touchpoints identified by the tracking code based on usage of the DPCs. The FNS indexes the touchpoints and creates a satellite internet of users of the DPCs based on invite information and usage of the DPCs. The FNS establishes communication between users of the DPCs in the satellite internet using the widgets through the tracking code and the indexed touchpoints, whereby grouping is automatically achieved.

Abstract: A method and a file format transformation system (FFTS) for transforming marked-up content in a first file format (FFF) to a second file format (SFF) that enables automated browser based pagination are provided. The FFTS reflows marked-up content of the FFF into a continuous page. The FFTS generates and appends tags to spaces and block elements identified in the reflown marked-up content of the FFF. For each space and block element, the FFTS determines and tags line breaks in the reflown marked-up content. For each line break, the FFTS identifies, tags, and positions anchored floats and footnotes on a current page based on space availability. The FFTS positions page breaks in the continuous page based on a configurable page height and the line breaks. The FFTS groups the marked-up content, inserts pagination elements and renders the grouped marked-up content in the SFF based on a selected level of reversibility.

Abstract: A method and a file format transformation system (FFTS) for transforming marked-up content in a first file format (FFF) to a reversible second file format (RSFF) are provided. The FFTS reflows marked-up content of the FFF into a continuous page. The FFTS generates and appends tags to spaces and block elements identified in the reflown marked-up content of the FFF. For each space and block element, the FFTS determines and tags line breaks in the reflown marked-up content. For each line break, the FFTS identifies, tags, and positions anchored floats and footnotes on a current page based on space availability. The FFTS positions page breaks in the continuous page based on a configurable page height and the line breaks. The FFTS groups the marked-up content, inserts pagination elements, for example, page numbers, etc., and renders the grouped marked-up content in the RSFF, which is reversible to restore the continuous page.
