  • Patent number: 10140261
    Abstract: Font graphs are defined having a finite set of nodes representing fonts and a finite set of undirected edges denoting similarities between fonts. The font graphs enable users to browse and identify similar fonts. Indications corresponding to a degree of similarity between connected nodes may be provided. A selection of a desired font or characteristics associated with one or more attributes of the desired font is received from a user interacting with the font graph. The font graph is dynamically redefined based on the selection.

  • Patent number: 10139998
    Abstract: A web editing application provides a user interface for editing a web page on a mobile client device. The web editing application provides templates for user selection, and may allow users to edit web pages while the editing device is offline. The web editing application determines whether a display of the client device is in landscape mode or portrait mode, and arranges certain cells differently based on this determination. The web editing application may further provide cell configuration indicators that indicate cells that are arranged differently in different display modes.

  • Patent number: 10133721
    Abstract: Data cells in a spreadsheet report are collapsed and expanded without disrupting other spreadsheet data. A user may want to drill down on data corresponding to a parent member of the report to display more detailed information about the parent member. Likewise, a user may want to drill up the displayed information corresponding to the parent member to hide detailed information associated with the parent member. Before expanding or collapsing a report, the spreadsheet is scanned for information to determine whether the display of other data in the spreadsheet would be disrupted by the expansion/collapse. The information may include cross join information associated with the parent member, the number of child members associated with the parent member, the dimension of the report created by the parent member and the associated child members, and other reports that may be linked to the report that includes the parent member.

  • Patent number: 10133714
    Abstract: A nonextensible schema is obtained including a first content model of ANY. Based on the nonextensible schema, a compact syntax regular language for XML next generation (RNC) file is generated that includes a second content model of ANY. The second content model of ANY can correspond to the first content model of ANY. The RNC file is modified, based upon the RNC file including the second content model of ANY, so as to explicitly enumerate all semantics of the second content model of ANY as elements in the RNC file. A regular language for XML next generation (RNG) file is later generated based on the modified RNC file. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10127201
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein disclose techniques for transforming input documents having disparate formats into a normalized format (e.g., Atom, RSS, HTML, customized XML, etc.). According to one embodiment, a plurality of fields is identified in an input document that has a given format. Each field includes a descriptor and text content associated with the descriptor. For each field, semantic properties are evaluated for the descriptor and text content against a plurality of mapping rules to determine whether the field is consistent with one of a plurality of fields of a target format. Each mapping rule specifies characteristics associated with one of the fields in the target format. Once so determined, a mapping from the first field to the second field is defined.

  • Patent number: 10062030
    Abstract: A transformation process determines whether a predicate of a rule matches a given node of tree structured data containing a set of nodes and, when the predicate of a rule matches the given node, applies a function of an identified rule to the node to generate a compound result and an interim mutated output document, and when the compound result contains a next node, determines whether the next node is compared with the predicate of a next rule. The transform process includes determining that the next node is processed by a next rule, using the interim mutated output document as input, and determining whether a predicate of a rule matches the next node in a set of nodes. When the predicate of a rule matches the next node, a function of an identified rule is applied to the next node to generate a compound result and interim mutated output document. When the compound result does not contain a next node, a final mutated output document is generated.

  • Patent number: 10055390
    Abstract: Systems and methods simulate a hyperlink in regular content displayed on a screen. An example method can include generating, responsive to detecting a simulated hyperlink indication, a centered selection from content displayed on a display of a computing device, providing the centered selection to a simulated hyperlink model that predicts an operation given the centered selection, and initiating the operation using an intent associated with a mobile application. The simulated hyperlink model may also provide, from the centered selection, an intelligent selection used the intent's parameter.

  • Patent number: 10019430
    Abstract: The invention comprises a system and method for storing consumers' data and automatically filling out forms by sending this information to merchants, allowing users to complete forms and exchange information much faster than could be done by hand. The invention includes an online repository of personal information, and a method to provide easily accessible, secure, sharable data. The invention includes a central repository for forms data, through which merchants can build their own applications, interact with other users, and avoid the inconvenience of filling out forms. The invention will only release the data, to a merchant, that is needed to complete a specific form. A user can send and receive form-related data during different transactions. Consumers will create and maintain a web-based Online Profile (OP) with data that merchants can access, after authentication, via a device with web access. The invention reduces identity theft, via a record of all a consumer's transactions.

  • Patent number: 10019153
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a scrapbooking function in electronic computing devices. The user can engage the scrapbooking function with a content sampling command that engages a scrapbook creation mode which virtually rips a digital content sample from a content source. The digital content sample may be displayed to the user with a torn edge, as if it had been physically torn from a magazine or catalogue. The content sampling command may be, for example, a swipe gesture, an S-gesture, or selecting a scrapbook UI control feature. The user may save the sampled content into a new scrapbook or save it to an existing scrapbook. The user may also engage the scrapbooking function by entering a scrapbook viewing mode which allows the user to view and edit existing scrapbooks. The content sample may include all encrypted data present in the digital content from which it is sampled.

  • Patent number: 10007655
    Abstract: It is enabled to arrange transaction targets by using variations of attribute into a table and cause the table to be displayed. An information processing apparatus determines, for a transaction target group identified based on a user operation related to search for transaction targets, whether or not there are two or more attribute values for each attribute item. The information processing apparatus associates an attribute item where it is determined that there are two or more attribute values with tables, rows, or columns. The information processing apparatus identifies a transaction target having an attribute indicated by an attribute value corresponding to a cell from among the transaction target group for each cell. The information processing apparatus causes a table in which each cell includes display information indicating the identified transaction target to be displayed.
