  • Patent number: 11244021
    Abstract: Described herein is a method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for generating composite uniform resource locator (URL) parameter strings, to aid administrators of businesses and other owners of websites who may want to determine statistics about their target audiences in an intuitive and efficient manner. In order to do so, individual URL parameter units, wherein each URL parameter unit may represent a simple assignment or simple logical comparison of a parameter, are constructed in a modular form using a GUI. Once these individual URL parameter units are constructed, they are then concatenated into composite URL parameter strings, wherein multiple URL parameter strings can be combined to form the URL for a button sent in an email to intended recipients. When such links are clicked, the administrator user may receive audience-specific feedback at a high level of detail.

  • Patent number: 11055475
    Abstract: Cross-browser techniques for efficient document pagination are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system can receive an indication of a starting point for a page in a content flow of a document and build a DOM tree of content elements in a portion of the content flow spanning from the starting point to an estimated ending point, the estimated ending point corresponding to an estimated ending boundary for the page. The computer system can further invoke an API that causes a layout engine of the web browser to create a layout of the page based on the DOM tree and determine, based on the layout and the content flow, one or more content elements in the content flow that fall beyond an actual ending boundary of the page. The computer system can then remove the one or more content elements from the DOM tree and add the DOM tree to a page set for the document.

  • Patent number: 11048374
    Abstract: A machine may be configured to provide an online pluggable three-dimensional platform for publication of three-dimensional representations of items. For example, the machine generates a first software unit that corresponds to the three-dimensional representation of the item, and a second software unit that corresponds to an online three-dimensional platform that is pluggable to include the three-dimensional representation of the item corresponding to the first software unit. The online three-dimensional platform includes one or more pluggable slots for receiving one or more three-dimensional representations of one or more items. The machine generates an enhanced user interface on the client device based on causing an execution of the first software unit and the second software unit. The causing of the execution results in a display, in the enhanced user interface of the client device, of the three-dimensional representation of the item plugged into a pluggable slot of the online three-dimensional platform.
