  • Patent number: 11592979
    Abstract: A whiteboard template can include multiple regions that are associated with different data sources. Each region can be associated with a different data source and can present objects based upon logical representations stored in an associated data source. Logical representations of objects in a region can include links to other objects in other regions associated with other data sources. When an object is moved between regions, transformations can be applied to the logical representation associated with the object. If the object is linked to other objects, the transformation can be propagated to the logical representations of the linked objects. In this manner, a single movement of an object between regions in a template can result in the updating of multiple objects and associated data sources, the updating of the visual properties of objects in multiple regions, and updating the visual properties of the regions themselves.

  • Patent number: 11507734
    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, the present invention provides the ability to embed and edit rich content into a browser document. Embedded objects are not backed by installed desktop applications. Instead, in one embodiment, the embedded objects are Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX) components that adhere to a set of design patterns, which are embedded within editable HTML documents. For example, a user composing an email message can embed a spreadsheet into the email in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The spreadsheet is implemented, in one embodiment, as an AJAX component adhering to the Ajax Linking and Embedding (ALE) design pattern. Since it is an ALE component, the embedded object is fetched across the network so that it may be instantiated and used regardless of the user's location. The user can edit, manipulate, and save the embedded object while remaining in the context of the container document.

  • Patent number: 11327652
    Abstract: A keyboard is described that determines, using a first decoder and based on a selection of keys of a graphical keyboard, text. Responsive to determining that a characteristic of the text satisfies a threshold, a model of the keyboard identifies the target language of the text, and determines whether the target language is different than a language associated with the first decoder. If the target language of the text is not different than the language associated with the first decoder, the keyboard outputs, for display, an indication of first candidate words determined by the first decoder from the text. If the target language of the text is different: the keyboard enables a second decoder, where a language associated with the second decoder matches the target language of the text, and outputs, for display, an indication of second candidate words determined by the second decoder from the text.
