  • Patent number: 10599761
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to digitally converting physical form documents to electronic surveys. For example, a survey system receives an image capture of a physical form document and analyzes the image capture to identify fields including questions within the physical form document. The survey system creates an electronic survey corresponding to the physical form document based on the contents of the fields (e.g., text, objects). Specifically, the survey system generates electronic survey questions for the fields based on the contents of the fields. After generating electronic survey questions for the fields in the image capture, the survey system provides the electronic survey for display to a respondent. Additionally, the survey system can complete an electronic version (e.g., an image) of the form document including the responses.

  • Patent number: 10572547
    Abstract: A primary ingestion pipeline configured for use in natural language processing includes annotators configured for annotating documents. The annotators and documents to be annotated are evaluated. Based on the evaluations, an ingestion risk score is generated for each document. Each ingestion risk score represents a likelihood that an associated document will not successfully be annotated by the annotators. Each ingestion risk score is compared to a set of risk criteria. Based on the comparisons, a determination is made that each document of a first set of documents satisfies the set of risk criteria. A further determination is made, based on the comparisons, that each document of a second set of documents does not satisfy the set of risk criteria. In response to these determinations, the first set of documents is entered into the primary ingestion pipeline and the second set of documents is provided special handling.

  • Patent number: 10564920
    Abstract: Dynamically-generated images sized according to a requesting web client application display resolution are provided. The client application may calculate a target display resolution and pass the target display resolution as an input parameter with a request to a server for application content. The server may use the desired size input parameter to determine an optimal image size for the target display resolution. The server may render the application content as one or more images to the optimal image size and send the rendered image(s) to the client application. A determination may be made by the client application to display the image(s) at the size received or to scale the server-provided image(s). If the available area in the client application pane changes, the client application may recalculate the target display resolution and issue a new request to the server with the new target display resolution as the desired size input parameter.

  • Patent number: 10546035
    Abstract: A system and method for web application navigation control includes updating navigation data models used in navigation constraints with received data from an end-user or system. Without needing a centralized application-specific controller, from a collection of extensible navigation rules associated with each page of a plurality of pages, the extensible navigation rules are automatically selected which depend on changed data values and need re-evaluation. The navigation constraints associated only with the pages potentially changing their ready state to execute from among the plurality of pages in an entire application are evaluated to determine which pages are ready to run based on updated data from the navigation data models. A preferred page to be actually navigated to next is selected from among a set of all available and ready pages by execution of a set of second and separate navigation constraints using results of the navigation constraints of the evaluating step.

  • Patent number: 10503823
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods and apparatuses providing contextual suggestion in the environment of a user interface to a planning spreadsheet. Particular embodiments feature an interface engine that is in communication with an underlying data model. The data model may be hierarchical in nature (e.g., organized according to tree structure). In response to user input to the spreadsheet interface, the engine is configured to parse metadata associated with the data model, and construct therefrom suggestion strings prompting a user to interact with the data of the data model. The interface engine may consider a variety of factors in providing relevant suggestion, including but not limited to cell type and user context (e.g., access rights) so as to further target the offered suggestions offered to user expectation. This approach can desirably enhance efficiency of user interaction with the spreadsheet application, resulting in less typing, fewer corrections, faster workflows, and greater satisfaction.
