Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for converting static objects into dynamic intelligent object templates preferably provides structure and/or function whereby a first user displays a static object on a display. The user converts the static object into a dynamic template object having attributes of a group, the group including at least two of (i) notes, (ii) text boxes, (iii) images, (iv) sketches, (v) embedded links, (vi) inking objects, and (vii) sub-groups. Objects of the group inherit behaviors and attributes of the group including at least two of (i) color, (ii) naming convention, and (iii) positional attributes. The conversion occurs when the attributes and behaviors of the group are added to the static object, or when another underlying behavior is made available through interaction with the object. The dynamic template object is stored in a template library. Preferably, a second user can have the same conversion rights as the first user.

Abstract: Automatic generation of electronic messaging templates is provided. After a first email/message is generated and used, a second or a plurality of subsequent messages may be compared against the first or other similar emails/messages. Common elements among the similar emails/messages and elements not in common in the compared emails/messages are identified. An email/message template is automatically generated having textual content comprising all elements (e.g., text) common to each compared email/message and having highlighting components, such as an “XXX” or other acceptable highlighting notation at a location in the textual content corresponding to each uncommon element. Upon subsequent use, when a sender opens the template and enters any information particular to the intended recipient, that information may be used to query a database or other data source for information that may be used to automatically fill-in (autofill) each highlighted uncommon element in the template.

Abstract: Many forms exist as fillable electronic documents (FEDs), such as in the Portable Document Format (PDF). Generating web-based forms that match these FEDs, even with existing software tools, is time consuming and laborious. A computing system and a related process are provided that automatically and very quickly generate a web-based form that looks the same as a FED. In particular, the computing process includes extracting a fillable object (e.g. a checkbox) in a FED and generating a pixel image of an entire page in the FED. A web-fillable object (e.g. a JSON fillable object) is generated that corresponds to the fillable object. The web-based form is created by overlaying the web-fillable object over the pixel image.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method of editing text that may automatically change an expression included in input text to an appropriate expression according to a social relationship with a receiver and an electronic device supporting the method. The method may include obtaining information about at least one receiver, receiving text from a user, and changing at least a part of the text according to the obtained information about the at least one receiver.

Abstract: Techniques for transforming digital text content using expressions are described. According to various implementations, a text editor system determines that digital text content of a digital document is modified via application of a particular style that differs from other digital text content of the digital document. The text editor system identifies a pattern characteristic to the modified digital text content, and generates a digital expression that identifies the pattern, and generates a style expression that combines the digital expression with a digital style that represents style attributes descriptive of the style modification applied to the modified text content. The text editor system applies the style expression to search digital text content, identify matching digital text content that matches the digital expression, and transform the matching digital text content by applying the digital style to modify the matching digital text content.

Abstract: A system and method for the real-user capable monitoring of the rendering process of dynamically updated web pages is presented. The proposed approach deploys a browser agent to content loaded and displayed by a web browser which monitors resource load activities caused by the processing of the content by the browser and in-place content modifications caused by the executions of scripts and XHR communication by the browser. Those resource load and content modification activities affecting the visible area of the browser are identified and a point in time is calculated at which the visualization of the content for the visible area is complete. Further performance monitoring data describing the performance of the rendering process depending on the percentage of finished portions of the visible area over time is calculated. In addition, data describing the rendering process in detail may be captured by the browser agent which may be used for a later playback of the rendering process.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are described in which a document management system is configured to update content of digital documents through use of static and transient tags. A transient tag, for instance, may be associated with portions of the digital document that may be changed and a static tag with portions of the digital document that are not to be changed. An update to the digital document is then triggered by a document management system based on a triggering change made to an initial document portion of the digital document having a transient tag, and is not based on changes made to portions having a static tag or are untagged.

Abstract: A digital image imported into a target application that provides a functionality with respect to digital images may be rendered to obtain a rendered digital image. The digital image may be parsed to obtain asset metadata characterizing the digital image. Position information identifying a position of an image element within the digital image may be used to overlay a virtual layer onto a rendition image element of the rendered digital image corresponding to the image element, within a graphical user interface (GUI) of the target application. In this way, the functionality may be provided within the GUI and with respect to the virtual layer, to thereby provide the appearance of providing the functionality with respect to the rendition image element.

Abstract: An online system presents a user with a content item including an image and text. The online system overlays the text on the image if it predicts doing so will not render the text unreadable. To predict whether the overlay will render the text unreadable, the online system computes values describing various visual characteristics of a segment of the image on which the text may be overlaid and compares the values to corresponding threshold values. Based on the comparison, the online system predicts a readability of the text if overlaid on the segment. If the predicted readability is at least a threshold readability, the online system overlays the text on the segment of the image and presents the content item to the user with the text overlaid on the image. Otherwise, the online system presents the content item to the user with the text not overlaid on the image.
