  • Patent number: 11971946
    Abstract: Real time, on demand rendered image delivery may be provided using one or more local image servers, image stores corresponding to the local image servers, one or more rendering servers, and a global image store. When a request for an image of three dimensional object is provided to a local image server, that server may respond to the request by determining if is present in its corresponding local image store. If it is not, then the local image server may obtain the image, store it in its corresponding local image store, and then return it. The one or more rendering servers may respond to messages indicating that one or the local image servers are obtaining an image by generating that image based on rendering it using special purpose rendering hardware, storing it in the global image store, and sending a completion message indicating that the requested image had been generated.

  • Patent number: 11868702
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and corresponding systems and apparatuses for configuring the visual appearance of a webpage. The method involves providing access to color schemes through a user interface of a software application and assigning color schemes to corresponding sections of the webpage based on user input. Each color scheme includes at least one foreground color paired with a corresponding background color that contrasts the foreground color. The method further involves generating source code representing the webpage. In some examples, the source code includes a first container corresponding to a first section and a second container corresponding to a second section. The first container includes properties corresponding to a first color scheme. Similarly, the second container includes properties corresponding to a second color scheme. Because the second section is a subsection of the first section, the source code is generated with the second container being nested within the first container.

  • Patent number: 11769000
    Abstract: Methods and systems for partial application data collection are disclosed. The method stores a network accessible application having a plurality of form fields. One or more processors generate a session identifier (ID) and timestamp for a user accessing the application. The one or more processors determine that a state within a form field of one of the plurality of form fields is in focus, the state of the form field being in focus when the user selects the form field. Additionally, it is determined when the state within the form field is no longer in focus. At that time, a countdown timer is initiated. When the countdown time reaches zero, any data entered into the form field is collected. The collected data and the session ID are then combined into a single user data file.

  • Patent number: 11675864
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a link service that can create, maintain, and service links to objects on behalf of a content management system or other services. The link service can share administration of links with other services when desired or can even allow other services to issue the link and manage the object that is the subject of the link while providing other functions to support the link. Additionally, link service can interface with a file system that can support links as actors in the file system, whereby greater control and flexibility in supporting links is provided. Link service can also accommodate servicing and management of links issued by legacy services, where the legacy services have unique link logic that should still be utilized to maintain a consistent user experience.
