Abstract: Described are methods that utilize a geographic location technology (e.g., GPS) to determine user location data, and existing network-based websites (e.g., Internet websites) for searching and accessing data related to the location data such that the user context can be developed and stored. A location component is provided that determines location data of a wireless communications device of a user. A context component is provided that accesses context data based on the location data to define a context in which the device is located. Activities, goals, and overall context of a user can be inferred through statistical fusion of multiple sources of evidence. The context data is presented to the user via the wireless device such that the user can make decisions as to where to go, for example. User preferences can be accessed and applied to filter context data according to what the user desires to see and access.

Abstract: An arrangement for enabling declarative show and hide animations in web-based applications is provided in which expando attributes associated with HTML elements are utilized to define CSS level 3 (“C553”) animations that are executed when an element is shown or hidden. A set of utility functions, which wrap standard DOM (Document Object Model) element methods supported in JavaScript, are employed to show, hide, add, and remove elements from the DOM tree and invoke an algorithm when used. The algorithm traverses the DOM tree for HTML elements that have the show and hide expando attributes and automatically executes the associated animations.

Abstract: Webpages are optimizing through the use of experiments that compare the responses of viewers that are either presented with the original webpage or a variant thereof. One or more variants are first defined through the use of a browser-based editor application that initially examines the webpage for a snippet of code. The snippet can be added to the webpage, if missing, and the webpage returned to the editor application. Changes made to the webpage to define a variant are saved in variation code. When the webpage is later requested by multiple viewers, in each instance the viewer receives the webpage with the snippet, the snippet instructs the browser to download a file, and the instructions of the file determine whether the viewer will see the variant or the original webpage. Tracking viewer responses to the webpage and the variant allow a statistical basis for comparison to be developed.

The system may include a computing device configured to use the tool to parse a request that is transmitted in response to, for example, a selection to load the webpage. The tool may also generate a user interface comprising variables of the request. The variables may be displayed so that they may be selected by a user. For each selected variable, the computing device may generate a column within a table. The table may include the values for each selected variable. The computing device may also generate a second table with corresponding values for corresponding variables. Further, the computing device may compare corresponding values to execute regression testing. Also, the computing device may allow a user to select criteria for certain variables to generate rules and apply rules against requests.

Abstract: An interactive user interface for displaying projects comprising a collection of links specifying data to be displayed from a plurality of different applications and/or data sources. When loading a project for display, links are automatically parsed to identify the application and/or data source they are associated with. Retrieved data associated with the links is displayed in a format based upon that of their native application. The data may be displayed in an interactive format, allowing the user to change or manipulate the data in a manner that would be possible in the data's native application. A project may be expressed as a “project link,” comprising a text string, wherein the links of the assets associated with the project are included or embedded within the text string, and which may be shared between different users, and may function as a snapshot of the project.

Abstract: Annotating a document in a data processing system, wherein the document includes a first content section and a data structure, can include receiving a request to annotate the document, wherein the request comprises an annotation, and an identification of the document to annotate, and creating a second content section comprising the annotation. The data structure can be updated with a reference to the second content section thereby making the second content section available as an annotation in association with the document.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments described herein relate to techniques for processing XML documents of potentially very large sizes. For instance, certain example embodiments parse a potentially large XML document, store the parsed data and some associated metadata in multiple independent blocks or partitions, and instantiate only the particular object model object requested by a program. By including logical references rather than physical memory addresses in such pre-parsed partitions, certain example embodiments make it possible to move the partitions through a caching storage hierarchy without necessarily having to adjust or encode memory references, thereby advantageously enabling dynamic usage of the created partitions and making it possible to cache an arbitrarily large document while consuming a limited amount of program memory. Such techniques may be extended to enable atomic updates to be processed efficiently, e.g.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for facilitating compression of a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file. During operation, the system stores the CSS file in a local storage device and identifies a merge parameter in the CSS file. The merge parameter can be one of: a repeated selector, a repeated property in a selector, and a same value of a property in different selectors. The system then determines whether a merge condition is satisfied for the merge parameter and merges the merge parameter in the CSS file to obtain a compressed merge parameter. The merge condition indicates whether merging of the merge parameter is consistent with original style in the CSS file.

Abstract: Mechanisms for natively rendering and optimizing Internet contents on different displays of mobile communication devices receive screen description for a webpage from a server supporting a Web server hosting a software application and prepare and transmit an inquiry to multiple painters to inquire whether these painters have native capability and functionality to paint a single screen for optimal viewing experiences on displays of mobile communication devices having different sizes or resolutions.
