  • Patent number: 9977770
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention discloses a method, computer program product, and system for converting a Microsoft® PowerPoint® file to Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). A document converter receiving a command from a client device to convert one or more PowerPoint slides to DITA, wherein the PowerPoint has been formatted for conversion to DITA. Starting with the first PowerPoint slide, metadata tags, PowerPoint slide and notes text, and file names of grouped images are compiled into a string parsed with DITA markup. If the next slide does not begin a new topic, then that slide's metadata tags, PowerPoint slide and notes text, and grouped image file names are compiled into a string parsed with DITA markup and appended to the previous slides string. If the next slide begins a new topic, then the string is exported to a DITA topic. This process is repeated throughout the PowerPoint presentation.

  • Patent number: 9904665
    Abstract: A method and device for rasterizing content includes partitioning a webpage into webpage tiles that are associated with a front buffer and a back buffer. A rasterized version of each of the tiles may be stored in the associated front buffer, and each may include new content. If a previous copy of the at least one tile is found in memory, the new content is rasterized onto the previous copy. If a previous copy is not found, and if the proportion of the new content of the at least one tile is less than a threshold, the new content is rasterized onto the front buffer. If the proportion of the new content is above the threshold, and if unchanged content in the at least one tile is complex, then the unchanged content is copied to the back buffer and the new content is rasterized onto the associated back buffer.

  • Patent number: 9870358
    Abstract: An augmented reading system distributes electronic content related to paper documents. A user reading a paper document captures an image of a page of the paper document via a computing device communicatively coupled to the augmented reading system. The augmented reading system receives the image and correlates the image to electronic documents to identify the paper document. The augmented reading system may perform an image-based comparison or a character-based comparison to correlate the image with electronic documents. Additional electronic content related to the identified document is retrieved and delivered to the computing device of the user. Accordingly, the augmented reading system provides a bridge between paper documents and digital content and services.
