Abstract: Methods, software and devices for automatically constructing a structured electronic representation of a user-fillable form are disclosed. Each structured electronic representation is constructed from a parsable version of that form. A plurality of data structures for constructing structured electronic representations of user-fillable forms is stored. Each of the data structures is representative of a form region of one of a plurality of pre-defined types. A parsable version of the user-fillable form is received. This parsable version is parsed to identify fields of the user-fillable form, including at least one text field and at least one input field. These fields are grouped to form a plurality of form regions. Each of these form regions is matched to one of the stored data structures that best represents the form region in a structured electronic representation. An indicator of each matched data structure is stored.

Abstract: A method for identifying header/footer content of a document, in order to sequence text fragments comprising recognizable text blocks as derived from the document. The textual variability of lines comprised of text blocks, including the different kinds of text blocks within the line is analyzed for assessment of textual variability. Header/footer zones are defined by textual content having a low textual variability. An alternative embodiment identifies pagination constructs by comparing selected text-boxes for similarity and proximity and clustering the text boxes satisfying a predetermined similarity value, wherein the clustered text boxes are deemed to comprise pagination constructs.

Abstract: This invention is an email system that replaces every URL, attachment and image in the email message with a short URL, where the original URL, attachment or image is publicly accessible through the short URL. The system further includes the short URL in the public profile associated with the email address of the sender and also publishes the most popular short URLs in the system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an editing of a digital document containing an image, a text, a pattern and the like on pages constituting the digital document. In response to an operation for deleting an image positioned in a page, such image is not added to another page but is moved to and displayed in an evacuation area provided independently from the page area. In the evacuation area, such image is displayed together with a serial number of the page in which such image was present originally. Thus the page layout is not destructed in pages other than the page of image deletion, and the user can easily confirm later the image existed in such page.

The second version is displayable on a display device as a likeness of the paper.

Abstract: Determining and applying format attributes associated with content in an electronic document that is cut or copied from an electronic document and pasted into the same or different electronic document. The determination may be based on the format attributes of the content within a region of an electronic document containing the cut or copied content and the format attributes of a region of content that includes the location where the cut or copied text may be pasted. Local formatting may be associated with the source region of content and the destination region of content. Direct, or emphasis formatting, may be associated with content that has been cut or copied.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method and article of manufacture for a computer implemented textual hyperlink. A string of text is first displayed.

Abstract: Systems may include receiving, from the user device, data representing input to a virtual keyboard on the user device, where the virtual keyboard includes keys, and the data represents least one of: locations at which the keys were selected and durations for which the keys were selected. The systems may include using the data to identify character strings; and performing a spellcheck on the character strings to identify candidates for the character strings. The systems may also include determining popularities of the candidates; selecting one or more of the candidates based on popularity and ranking of the one or more candidates; and outputting the selected one or more candidates.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for implementing a cross-browser drag-and-drop library. The drag-and-drop library creates a draggable object corresponding to a drag source element and a droppable object corresponding to a drop target element defined in a webpage. The draggable object and droppable object are each assigned a link key value. A user-defined data structure populated with data regarding the drag source element may also be assigned to the draggable object. A browser event indicating a drag-and-drop operation between the drag source and the drop target is intercepted, and the drag-and-drop library determines whether the link key value assigned to the corresponding draggable and droppable objects are the same. If the link key values are the same, the drag-and-drop library generates an event associated with the droppable object to facilitate an application-related operation associated with the drag-and-drop operation using the data in the user-defined data structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying and editing state-specific link attributes during the development of electronic content. The states of HTML links, which can be defined by CSS pseudo classes, can be displayed and edited using visual interface features of a content creation application. Such features can provide convenient ways to view multiple links simultaneously in a selected state and to edit the appearance of a state that is applicable to multiple links used in a piece of content being developed. The user interface of a content creation application can provide a button, command, or other user-selectable option that sets the state in which link representations are displayed. This can be achieved, as an example, in the case of HTML links defined by CSS pseudo classes, by filtering links based on state so that all displayed links display in the selected state, e.g., in the :link, :visited, :hover, :active, or :focus state.
