Abstract: A method and apparatus for populating a form with data is described. In one embodiment of the invention, a form is displayed to the user via the target application. Each form has one or more data receptacles. The data receptacles of a form are filled with data when the user executes a data population command. The form completion program executes the data population command when a graphical representation of a particular data set is placed over the form. Each data set is stored in an encrypted manner and is accessible to users who enter the appropriate information into an authentication mechanism. To populate a form with data the form completion program obtains an image of the form and then searches for a template file that resembles the form image to within a certain threshold. The template files are typically stored on the computer hosting the target application in a template directory that is arranged according to a predefined structure.

Abstract: A web browser is implemented to receive a document from a server. The document may include one or more embedded Uniform Resource Locator (URL) references. The web browser may display the document on a user interface. A user associated with the web browser may determine one or more of the original embedded URL references should be replaced. In response to user input, the web browser may change at least one of the original embedded URL references to a corresponding replacement embedded URL reference and display the document with the replacement embedded URL reference. The web browser may save an association of the original embedded URL reference with the replacement embedded URL reference and subsequently, when receiving the document with the original embedded URL reference, automatically replace the original embedded URL reference with the corresponding replacement embedded URL reference before displaying the document.

Abstract: An organic search ranking of a web page for a particular search query can be optimized by publishing a large number of short, subsidiary web documents associated with the web page. The web page and the associated web documents can be individually optimized in terms of one or more parameters based upon web analytical data compiled for the search query. The web page and associated web documents can also be jointly optimized by coordinating the content of the associated web documents to align with the primary web page, and further by providing a network of links between the associated web documents and the primary web page. To provide greater insight and to assess the overall efficacy of the web presence optimization effort, historical search rank data can be correlated with specific events and reported to a user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for tracking recent activities of processes and presenting recommended next actions based thereon. According to one embodiment, a method of tracking and interacting with one or more processes can comprise detecting one or more activities, each activity related to at least one of a plurality of ongoing transactions of the one or more processes. The one or more activities can be recorded in records of an activity log. At a later point in time, relevant records of the activity log for a particular user can be identified. A determination of a recommended next action can be made for each identified relevant record based on the recorded activity and the related transaction. A list of the identified relevant records of the activity log and the determined recommended next actions can be generated and presented to the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system (and method and computer readable storage medium) are disclosed for processing interactions with song lyrics. The system is configured to provide for display on a screen of a computing device the song lyrics. The system detects a selection of a segment of the song lyrics and provides for display a menu of options for interacting with the selected segment of the song lyrics. The system receives a selection of an option from the menu of options and updates, in a user interaction database, a data field corresponding to the selected segment with the selected option from the menu of options. The system executes the selected option from the menu of options.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a user of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device) with the ability to utilize drawn gestures to operate objects displayed on a user interface of the computing device. Specifically, the techniques of this disclosure may, in some examples, include receiving user input comprising a gesture that defines an attribute associated with one or more target elements displayed in the user interface and graphically highlighting the one or more target elements in the user interface. The user may then utilize the drawn gesture to operate the highlighted target element by interacting with the defined selection area.

Abstract: Methods for processing machine-readable forms or documents of non-fixed format are disclosed. The methods make use of, for example, a structural description of characteristics of document elements, a description of a logical structure of the document, and methods of searching for document elements by using the structural description. A structural description of the spatial and parametric characteristics of document elements and the logical connections between elements may include a hierarchical logical structure of the elements, specification of an algorithm of determining the search constraints, specification of characteristics of searched elements, and specification of a set of parameters for a compound element identified on the basis of the aggregate of its components. The method of describing the logical structure of a document and methods of searching for elements of a document may be based on the use of the structural description.

The system generates an instance document in HTML, PDF or RTF format by resolving variables in the source document and/or logic sources using one or more data sources. This may involve performing one or more interview rounds with a user of the system, access to a database, and/or evaluation of a function defined in one of the documents. The system includes an editor for creating and maintaining source documents and logic source documents while maintaining their validity with respect to the appropriate XML schema.

Abstract: A hardware and/or software facility for automated application compatibility testing. The facility automatically detects visual discrepancies between rendered versions of a web page produced by different browsers. The facility may identify differences in a web page rendered by two or more browsers by progressively comparing, for each browser, the corresponding visual elements of the web page without comparing the elements to any predetermined expected results. The facility may identify functional differences in the web page across the tested browsers. The facility generates a human-readable report of the visual and/or functional differences between the tested browsers.

Abstract: A tag/content management system delivers customized content and/or program instructions to a user terminal. The system may deliver several groups of program executable instructions, including instructions that are global to all web domains controlled by a client server and those that are specific to a web page/group of web pages. In addition, this system may allow for the creation of testing environments for websites that include modified content and/or program instructions. Various techniques employed by the system may result in a reduction in the errors and latencies that commonly plague conventional implementations.
