Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable reduction of characters in a character-limited scenario by minimally editing a text to remain within a character limit while maintaining a tone of a user's writing. More specifically, as a user enters text into a character-limited field, character reduction opportunities for shortening words or phrases are identified in the text. These identified opportunities for shortening words or phrases are compared with a historical writing tone profile of the user in order to preserve a tone and style of the user. Words or phrases that are presented and implemented to shorten the text entered by the user are only sufficient to bring a character count of the entered text within the character limit of the character-limited field. Once the text is within the character limit, no further character reduction is applied.

Abstract: Information is presented to a user by accessing a library of electronic publications that includes a first publication, generating a representation of the first publication in an electronic bookshelf, determining a state for the first publication and modifying the representation of the first publication to reflect the state of the first publication.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for invoking a local keyboard on an HTML page in a user terminal device are disclosed. The method includes analyzing an HTML page when a user terminal device loads the HTML page, and generating a local input field at each page input field having a recognition identifier if page input field(s) having recognition identifier(s) and needing to invoke local keyboard(s) exist(s); setting a type of a local keyboard that needs to be invoked by each local input field; and transmitting input information received by the local input field through a corresponding local keyboard to the HTML page. By generating a local input field at a page input field having a recognition identifier, the present disclosure can implement an invocation of a local keyboard that cannot be invoked by a page input field through the local input field.

Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to compile documents into a timeline document that tracks the evolution of a topic over time. Social media documents can be used to identify importance or popularity of linked documents (i.e., documents shared by social media in a post, tweet, etc.). A collection of social media documents is analyzed and used to identify a series of n-grams and a ranked list of linked documents. A subset of the ranked list is selected based upon similarity to the series of n-grams. The subset is then summarized and captured, along with underlying supporting data, into an entry of a timeline document. Related entries in different timeline documents can be linked to create a pivot point that allows a user to jump from one timeline to another. Timeline documents can be made available as part of a search performed by a query system.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method of generating a webpage template and a server. The method of generating a webpage template comprises: collecting webpage data of a webpage, and generating a webpage template of the webpage according to the webpage data. By means of the present invention, the problem in the prior art that a method of generating a webpage template depends relatively strongly on a target website is solved, thereby reducing the dependence of the method of generating a webpage template on the target website.

Abstract: An application automatically saves drafts of a document in association with the document. Drafts are saved, for example, whenever the application closes the document. Thus, the application stores a separate draft of the document for each session in which the document was used. The saved drafts are logically associated with each other and their original document. Because of this association, whenever the user accesses the document in the application, the application may present to the user a list of the various drafts of the documents. The user may continue working on the last saved draft, or the user may select another draft from which to continue working. The application further includes a collaborative interface for listing objects at a server. The server pushes new changes or additions to the objects directly to the client, and the client updates the interface accordingly, without user intervention.

Abstract: An information processing system obtains, from an OS, metrics information of a font included in form information of a business form when the form information of the business form is edited; and stores the metrics information together with the edited form information; and generates a business form page by calculating a layout configuration of the business form based on the metrics information that has been stored, and by performing overlay output of the form information and field data of the business form based on the calculated layout configuration.

Abstract: A declarative mechanism is used to manage large documents within a repository. The large documents are sectioned into subdocuments that are linked together by a parent document. The combination of the parent document and subdocument is referred to as a compound document. There are multiple options for configuring rules to break up a source document into a compound document and naming the subdocuments. The compound documents may be queried using statements that treat the compound document as a single XML document, or the parent document of a subdocument may be queried and treated independently. Access control and versioning can be applied at the finer granularity of the subdocument.

Abstract: Techniques for tracking pages accessed by an app executed to display multiple pages on a display. A computing device loads the app and present content from the app on a display. The computing device is configured to display individual pages of the app using declarative code specifying appearances of the pages. The computing device is configured to respond to events using page-generic imperative code. The computing device renders a page on the display using the declarative code of the page and identifies a tracking tag in the declarative code of the page. Based on identifying the tracking tag, the computing device sends a message to an analytics system identifying a page access.
