Abstract: For a document with content that has been structured into a set primitive areas, a novel method for performing contiguous selection of document content across different primitive areas in the document is disclosed. The method defines a contiguous section in the ordered list by identifying the first and last primitive elements of the contiguous selection. The first primitive element is identified as the primitive element that is closest in reading flow to a start selection point on the page, while the last primitive element is identified as the primitive element that is closest in reading flow to an end selection point on the page.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method and system for accessing textual widgets. A method in accordance with an embodiment includes: entering a string expression into a document; invoking a spell-checker to check a spelling of the string expression; marking the string expression as misspelled; identifying a textual widget based on the misspelling of the string expression; evaluating the misspelled string expression using the identified textual widget, the identified textual widget returning at least one result of the evaluation; displaying the at least one result of the evaluation; selecting a result of the evaluation; and replacing the string expression in the document with the selected result of the evaluation.

Abstract: For a page that has been decomposed into a set of primitive areas, a novel method for organizing the set of primitive areas into an ordered list is disclosed. The primitive areas in the ordered list are initially sorted using start point order relation ordering, which compares the start points of the primitive areas in the coordinate system of the page. The ordering of the primitive areas in the ordered list are then refined by using contextual order relation ordering, which compares primitive areas against each other according to coordinate systems local to the primitive areas being compared. A new ordered list is then created by transposing primitive areas that are incorrectly ordered according to contextual order relation ordering.

Abstract: A method of improving a traffic pattern through web page nodes of a website is provided, including selecting web page nodes. The traffic pattern includes a sequence of nodes. Each node represents a first page having a link to a second page in a subsequent node. A visitor to a node prior to a conversion node either navigates to a subsequent node or fails to progress to a subsequent node. The method also includes, for each web page, identifying display elements on the web page node that are associated with a decreased probability that the user progresses through the traffic pattern to a subsequent web page node in the predetermined traffic pattern, determining a metric representing an impact on a conversion attributable to the display elements, ranking the plurality of web page nodes based on the metrics for each web page node.

Abstract: Document data to be edited includes reference information to external document data corresponding to a component document constituting the document data. When the component document is selected and when an instruction is given for the reflection thereof in the external document, a chapter to be updated is identified first, and reference information corresponding to that chapter is identified. Then, the external document identified by the reference information is overwritten and updated with the selected component document.

Abstract: Described are methods that utilize a geographic location technology (e.g., GPS) to determine user location data, and existing network-based websites (e.g., Internet websites) for searching and accessing data related to the location data such that the user context can be developed and stored. A location component is provided that determines location data of a wireless communications device of a user. A context component is provided that accesses context data based on the location data to define a context in which the device is located. Activities, goals, and overall context of a user can be inferred through statistical fusion of multiple sources of evidence. The context data is presented to the user via the wireless device such that the user can make decisions as to where to go, for example. User preferences can be accessed and applied to filter context data according to what the user desires to see and access.

Abstract: Data records with one or more data objects are displayed according to layout rules on a computer user interface. The data objects associated with the record are identified, layout rules for the one or more data objects of the record are accessed and a layout is calculated based at least in part a uniqueness coefficient of the one or more data objects. The data objects are then displayed on the computer interface according to the determined layout.

Abstract: A method of modifying the color characteristics of advertising content and web page content to increase the click-through rate of the advertising content. The advertising content and web page content may include hyperlinks and text. The color characteristics may include saturation, hue, intensity, contrast, and RBG characteristics. The color characteristics may be modified to make the advertising content more visible to the user, which results in a higher click-through rate.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a system for generating a presentation order from a document that has fixed presentation layout when rendered. Techniques include reconstructing structural information and logical ordering for fixed-layout documents. A document editor generates a presentation order, or a read order, for contents within a fixed-layout document. The document editor creates an initial sort order for areas of content within a document. The document editor then generates a presentation order based on graphical dimensions and graphical placement relationships among areas of content within a document. The resulting presentation order can be used to create a second document or second layout, or to add structural information to create reflowed or reflowable content.

Abstract: A method for overriding images in user interfaces using web application styling sheets may include creating a first style sheet defining a first image. The first style sheet allows customization of the first image by referencing the first image using a background attribute and a first location. A second style sheet defines a second image using a background attribute and a second location. The method may further include creating a web page with a link to the first style sheet and a link to the second style sheet, and sending the web page to a client for presentation, where the second image overrides the first image when the web page is presented to a user.

Abstract: Methods and a system for an electronic device to allow for riffling through pages of a document. A fore edge view of page edges is displayed in a user display of the device and enables pages to be turned to while skipping other pages via inputs received at the user display. The user display has a touch screen interface that senses touch on display. Motion is also detected and when the device is tilted or moved a motion sensed causes the fore edge view to be displayed. Inputs sensed by the touch screen interface cause the fore edge view to be displayed and also allow pages or section of the document to be held concurrently while pages are riffled to in the document. The held pages are easily returned to at will.

Abstract: A method and system for comparing compound documents. An original compound document and a modified compound document are analyzed to determine and mark the location of embedded objects. A comparison is performed between an original primary document and the modified primary document, ignoring the embedded objects, the output of which is a comparison output document. The embedded objects are compared by copying the contents of the embedded objects to compatible documents, comparing the embedded object from the original compound document and the embedded object from the modified compound document, the output of which is inserted into the comparison output document using the location markers of the embedded objects.
