  • Patent number: 10430049
    Abstract: A method, executed by a computer, for file-centric form selection includes receiving a selection of files from a user, determining a relevance value for each form, and presenting the forms to a user in order of relevance value. Once a particular form is selected, a reference to each file may be automatically placed into the form's appropriate input fields. A user may also input non-file information into the form. In certain embodiments, the relevance value is determined by a history of use of the form by the user or by other users. In some embodiments, the relevance value is determined according to the percentage of the form's input fields completed by using the files as input. A computer program product and computer system corresponding to the method are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 10318605
    Abstract: A method for relocating an input box to a target position in a mobile terminal browser comprises: when a user clicks an input box in a browsed web page and an input method interface pops up, calculating a position of the input box relative to the input method interface and determining whether the input box is partially or completely covered by the input method interface; designating a target position of the input box according to a position of the input method interface, when the input box is partially or completely covered by the input method interface; and rendering the input box at the target position by scrolling the browsed web page and/or canvas. By the invention, when a user clicks an input box and an input method interface pops up, the input box can be relocated and displayed at a reasonable position and be completely visible to the user.

  • Patent number: 10185709
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for creating and providing narratives associated with a type of subject (e.g., person, movie, place, etc.). Following a detected change in the system, a narrative template is selected based on a variety of factors. The template may provide variations of sentences based on the amount of data provided. Following the selection of the optimal narrative, fields in the selected template are filled with stored data associated with the subject. Some of the stored data may need to be translated prior to adding to the template depending on whether the selected narrative template is in a different language. The new or updated narrative may be stored in a memory. The system may encode a network page with the narrative and send the encoded network page to a client device.
