  • Patent number: 10956498
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for scanning bindings in a webpage. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining, at a browser of a client device, markup for a webpage, initiating a scan of the markup for the webpage to identify bindings in the markup, in response to a time threshold being satisfied during the scan of the markup for the webpage, pausing the scan of the markup and storing location data corresponding to a location in the markup reached by the scan at pause time, rendering, by the browser, a next frame for the webpage, and in response to completion of the rendering of the next frame for the webpage, resuming the scan of the markup for the webpage at the location in the markup.

  • Patent number: 10936791
    Abstract: The present document describes system and method for securing a text against copying and tampering. The system introduces a reversible change within the instructions contained in the electronic page description language defining the text. In a non-limiting example, the reversible change may include replacing the font used in the PDL by a customized font defining a set of changes from the standard/existing fonts. The system may then generate a set of instructions reversing the set of changes to display the proper text to the user. However, should any tampering or illegal copying of the text occur, the original text will not be displayed because a portion of the reversible change is not present. The reversible changes introduced may affect character sizes, colors, spacing, positions, mapping etc.

  • Patent number: 10474735
    Abstract: A dynamic zooming system may use overlays to display usage information over associated webpages. In one example, a replay manager may zoom-in on particular areas of the webpages to view more specific usage information. In another example, the replay manager may zoom-out the webpages to view more general usage information. The dynamic zooming system may use a first scaled overlay layer to dynamically vary a zoom level of the usage information to match a zoom level for the webpages. The dynamic zooming system also may use a second fixed overlay layer to display other usage information independently of the zoom-level for the webpages.

  • Patent number: 10452757
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating personalization of one or more multi-instance software applications in a networked enterprise computing environment. An example method includes providing a first user option to specify one or more adjustments to a rendering of a software application; identifying one or more servers that are employed to obtain content for the rendering; and selectively providing information specifying the one or more adjustments to the one or more servers, such that the one or more adjustments appear in a rendering provided when a user accesses the software application from any of the one or more servers. In a more specific embodiment, the information specifying the one or more adjustments to the one or more servers include customization metadata (also called personalization metadata) stored on a first server, called the gateway server.

  • Patent number: 10191965
    Abstract: Methods, systems and techniques for managing revisions of documents in a collaborative, multiuser document store are provided. Example embodiments provide an Automated Document Revision Management Server (“ADRMS”) to automatically cluster and remove revisions of file content for easy navigation and management. Revisions are trimmed when necessary to conserve storage space. The ADRMS creates logical clusters of revisions based upon some measure of their similarities. That is, revisions that are similar and can be represented by the latest revision in the cluster formulate one cluster, and those that are markedly dissimilar are placed in a different cluster. The logic used to cluster revisions accounts for time-based factors, content-based factors, and context-based factors to determine whether a revision is incremental and can be grouped in the same cluster or is significant enough to warrant a new cluster. Revisions may be trimmed based upon age and/or available space by a revision trimming component.

  • Patent number: 10121110
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results. These mechanisms and methods for progressive rendering of report results can enable embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received. The ability of embodiments to render report results in portions as they are received can enable report results to be progressively rendered such that delay is avoided which would otherwise occur when rendering only in response to receipt of an entirety of the report results.

  • Patent number: 10108615
    Abstract: Automated presentation of repeated content is provided herein. Using historic documents, an index of repeatedly-used content blocks is created. As a user authors a current document, the authoring application is in communication with a trigger analyzer that receives edits and authoring commands from the user. The trigger analyzer compares the edits and authoring commands to the indexed content blocks, and creates previews of potential matches from the index of repeated content that are provided to the user. Depending on user preferences and application settings, these previews are presented to the user as selectable controls in a graphical user interface. If the user selects a preview, the content block associated with the preview is transmitted to the current document for insertion therein. The present disclosure improves the user experience, reduces the use of bandwidth, memory, and processing power to reuse content between documents.
