  • Patent number: 11880540
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to digital mark-up in a three dimensional (3D) environment. An example device for digital mark-up in a 3D environment includes a processor, a display for showing a view of the 3D environment, and a memory including instructions on the processor. When the memory stored instructions are executed on the processor, they cause the processor to generate an anchor point in response to an author input, wherein the anchor point includes a virtual location. When the memory stored instructions are executed on the processor, they cause the processor to generate a mark-up object associated with the anchor point, wherein the mark-up object includes mark-up dimensions, a virtual authoring location, and a selectable association that, in response to being selected, instructs the processor to adjust the view shown in the display to be a view from the virtual authoring location at the time the mark-up object was authored.

  • Patent number: 11714531
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for glyph-aware text selection. For instance, a glyph selection system can detect that a user has selected a glyph within a user interface. The glyph selection system can highlight the glyph and/or a region encompassing the glyph to communicate, to the user, that the glyph is selected. This highlighted region can be determined based on the shape and/or outline of the glyph. For example, the glyph selection system can determine bounds (e.g. coordinates) of the glyph in order to highlight a region within the user interface that fully encompasses the glyph and does not include portions of unselected glyphs. In some cases, the highlighted region may be rectangular. Alternatively, the highlighted region may be non-rectangular, such as a border defined by the outline of the glyph.

  • Patent number: 11681417
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for increasing accessibility of digital content. For instance, a code for the digital content and one or more accessibility guidelines are received. The code is analyzed to identify a violation of an accessibility guideline. The digital content presented in accordance with the code, data indicative of the violation, and an option to correct the violation are displayed on a User Interface (UI). In response to receiving an input indicative of a selection of the option to correct the violation, one or more correction options to correct the violation are provided. In response to a selection of a correction option, the code is altered, based on the selected correction option. The alteration of the code corrects the violation of the accessibility guideline and thereby changes one or more aspects of how the digital content is to be presented.

  • Patent number: 11295273
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing normalized object exposure in a collaborative platform. Implementations provide a collaborative platform to enable multiple users to collaborate to address an issue collectively. The platform enables a user to create a work routine in which objects may be added and manipulated by multiple users. The objects may be normalized through use of a normalized object contract. Tools may be added to the work routine, and linked to objects to apply functionality to the object data of the objects. The tools may also comply with the normalized object contract to be consumable within the platform. Through the contract, objects may exhibit a shared common state such that multiple users and/or processes access the same state for a particular object at any given time in a work routine.

  • Patent number: 11287967
    Abstract: Changes in display area automatically lead to changes in the format used to display graphical content of a list of items such as thumbnails or application icons, for example. A list display controller transitions between scrollable format and fixed format, and transitions between fixed formats with different numbers of display slots. Transitions may be triggered by window resizing, by moving a graphical user interface from one device to another while the application runs, or by switching between landscape and portrait mode, for example. Even when the format is not changed in response to a display area change, graphical content is automatically resized to match changes in the size of the display area containing the graphical content. Format transitions and content resizing help provide a pleasant user experience by maintaining content density with expected usage patterns for a given device, and reduce proliferation of code versions.

  • Patent number: 10911550
    Abstract: On a client computer a request is sent to a server computer to open a first portion of a document. The document is stored at the server computer. The first portion of the document is smaller than the entire document. The request includes information used by the server computer to determine a size of the first portion of the document. The first portion of the document is received from the server computer. A second portion of the document is rendered on a display screen on the client computer. The second portion of the document is a subset of the first portion of the document. When the client computer determines that the user has scrolled a third portion of the document and that more of the document is available at the server computer, a second request is sent to the server computer to open an additional portion of the document.
