  • Patent number: 11080658
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for integrating rich media into a scalable, multi-user, web-based calendar system having multiple interconnected web-based interfaces. Rich media refers to digital media that exhibit either, or a combination, of dynamic or interactive properties, including video content, audio content, graphical content, hyperlinks, or browser-based applications to such content, that are associated with a particular calendar event. Rich media events are created and stored in a central repository, and are accessible for adding to users' own calendar events. Rich media calendar events include display templates that define display characteristics for the rich media calendar event. Display templates also provide rich media applications for rendering and displaying the rich media content in the event. Delivery schedules are employed to automatically control the display of rich media calendar events.

  • Patent number: 11017159
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods that efficiently and effectively generate an enhanced document image of a displayed document in an image frame captured from a live image feed. For example, systems and methods described herein apply a document enhancement process to a displayed document in an image frame that result in an enhanced document image that is cropped, rectified, un-shadowed, and with dark text against a mostly white background. Additionally, systems and method described herein determine whether a stored digital content item includes a displayed document. In response to determining that a stored digital content item does include a displayed document, systems and methods described herein generate an enhanced document image of a displayed document included in the stored digital content item.

  • Patent number: 11017150
    Abstract: A system and method that converts the digital typesetting documents used in publishing to a device-specific format for electronic publishing. A “smart file and device-specific application” approach maintains the “look and feel” (design) of the source document used for print publication while typesetting for a specific device. Although this approach requires considerably more resources to create a smart file for each device-specific format, the smart file retains the unique typesetting characteristics of the printed book, is more aesthetically pleasing, and is easier to read. Furthermore, the device-specific application can render the smart file more quickly thereby eliminating any latency.

  • Patent number: 11010049
    Abstract: There is provided a gesture-based GUI (system, method, etc.) to facilitate input of numerical data using a continuous swipe gesture. A gesture-based I/O device displays a GUI presenting a gross number and a gross number control to initially define a specific number for further defining with specificity. In response to a first gesture (hard click or pause) interacting with the gross number control, the specific number is initially defined as the gross number and a finer number control is presented to refine the specific number. In response to a continuous swipe gesture continuing from the first gesture and interacting with the finer number control, the interface further defines the specific number with finer specificity where a quantum varies in response to a direction and distance of the continuous swipe. Successive finer number controls may be also be presented to refine the specific number by continuing the swipe.
