Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for assisting users of a chat session to participate in the chat session. Messages of an instant message (IM) chat history are analyzed to determine the communication content. The key points of the IM chat history are then identified from the analysis, which are summarized. A first level of a hierarchical template corresponding to the determined communication content is identified, where the template corresponds to a general classification of the topic of the determined communication content. The template includes a recommended list of items to be discussed in the chat session that relates to the communication content. The template is loaded and then populated with information obtained from the analysis of the IM chat session, such as a summary of the identified key points of the IM chat history. The populated template will then be presented to the users of the chat session.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium, and computer-implemented method for signing a document involving generating copies of the document in response to receiving actions to perform on the document. In particular, a web service can transmit a document for signing to a client device such that the document is viewable through graphical user interfaces while the underlying content of the document remains non-editable by the client devices through the web service. Responsive to receiving actions, the web service can generate one or more copies of the document that may include modifications that correspond to the received actions.

Abstract: Link association analysis systems are presented. Disclosed systems are configured to analyze links created by users and to determine possible reasons underpinning why a user would create such a link. The system derives such reasons by analyzing the context within which the link was created and to which the link points, and then presents the reasons as a data object to users for feedback. The system can be made to be self-refining by collecting survey data regarding its accuracy, so that the more users interact with the system, the more accurate the system is at deriving reasons for link creation.

Abstract: A human-computer interaction method is applied to an electronic device, and includes: obtaining content copied by a user on a first page, and determining a category to which the content belongs; obtaining a category of a second page; matching the category of the content against the category of the second page; and if a matching result is not empty, displaying at least one operation option on the second page, where the at least one operation option has a function of performing an operation for the content on the second page, so that the electronic device directly performs the function after the user selects the operation option. In the method, a category of copied text content is extracted and is matched against a category of a keyword, and a matched group is used as a prompt operation. The prompt operation is displayed in a form of a dialog box, to prompt a next action that may be performed by a user, so that complexity of user operations is reduced, and accuracy of pasting text information is improved.

The method further includes generating a composite configuration map including each of the container configuration maps.

Abstract: Tools and techniques are described for linking visual properties of charts to cells within tables. Methods provided by these tools enable users to select visual properties that are associated with graphical displays of chart data, and to link these visual properties to respective cells within the tables. User interfaces provided by these tools may provide representations of visual properties associated with the graphical displays of chart data, with these representations of the visual properties being responsive to user input to link the cells in the tables to the visual properties. These user interfaces may also include representations of the cells that are associated with the representations of the visual properties.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to generation of document editors having functions specified by role policies. Examples include acquisition of a request to provide a target user a document editor for a target document type and a determination, in response to the request, of which of a plurality of role policies is associated with the target user based on a role assigned to the target user in an enterprise, wherein each of the role policies is associated with a different role for the enterprise and specifies a different plurality of document editor functions permitted to be included in a document editor for the target document type for a user assigned to the associated role.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a pixel-aligned layout grid. In some examples, a method may include receiving an input that quantifies a selected one of multiple horizontal dimensions, a number of columns, a column width, a gutter width, and a margin width, of a layout grid. The method may also include, responsive to receiving the input, calculating respective integer values for the remaining multiple horizontal dimensions based on the received input quantifying the selected one of the multiple horizontal dimensions. The method may further include generating a layout grid based on the integer values for the remaining multiple horizontal dimensions and the received input quantifying the selected one of the multiple horizontal dimensions, and rendering the generated layout grid as a pixel-aligned layout grid.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for enhancing an email application to automatically analyze an email thread and generate a compact content summary. The content summary is based on relative content contributions provided by the constituent email messages in the email thread.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for resolving date ambiguities in electronic communication documents includes identifying date field values associated with different instances of a single communication segment, with each instance of the segment occurring in a different electronic communication document. The date field values associated with those instances are processed by attempting one or more available date resolution mechanisms. For each date field value, a candidate date for the segment is identified using the highest-priority/confidence resolution possible for that particular date field value. A data structure in a cache is used to track which date field value allows a date to be resolved with the highest-priority resolution relative to the other date field values, by iteratively inspecting and comparing priority levels recorded in the data structure.

Abstract: Technologies for simplifying visual organization of form information include a form simplification server. A virtual transaction form including editable input fields visually organized in an initial format is displayed. In response to a request for a simplified version of the virtual transaction form, the form simplification server generates a simplified virtual transaction form including editable input fields that correspond to the editable input fields of the virtual transaction form. The editable fields of the simplified virtual transaction form are visually organized in a format different from the initial format of the virtual transaction form. The simplified virtual transaction form is displayed. The form simplification server may also receive a user-specified data element input into one of the editable input fields of the virtual transaction form. The corresponding editable input field of the simplified virtual transaction form can be populated with the user-specified data element.

Abstract: A method and system generate sample data set for efficiently and accurately testing a new calculation for preparing a portion of an electronic document for users of an electronic document preparation system. The method and system receive the new calculation and gather historical use data related to previously prepared electronic documents for a large number of historical users. The method and system group the historical users into groups based on which sections of a previous version of electronic document preparation software were executed for each historical user in preparing electronic documents for the historical users. The groups are then sampled by selecting a small number of historical users from each group.
