  • Patent number: 10049085
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to presenting and synchronizing views of electronic document. In particular, a view management system can synchronize and present multiple synchronized views of an electronic document for display on a client device. For example, the view management system can present multiple views of an electronic document and bind one or more of the views with a model. In response to detecting a user interaction with respect to a view, the view management system can cause a client device to apply the user interaction to each of multiple views (e.g., each view that is bound to the model). By synchronizing views, the view management system can enable a user to conveniently observe how one or more user interactions with respect to a view would appear across multiple views of an electronic document.

  • Patent number: 10042832
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for combining a first annotation and a second annotation in an electronic document. The first annotation is received and corresponds to a first portion of the electronic document. The second annotation is received and corresponds to a second portion of the electronic document. A first position of a layout rendering of the first annotation is determined, and a second position of a layout rendering of the second annotation is determined. The first position of the layout rendering of the first annotation is compared to the second position of the layout rendering of the second annotation. When the first position conflicts with the second position, the first annotation and the second annotation are combined to form a stacked annotation.

  • Patent number: 10025766
    Abstract: A system of associating text items with fillable fields of an electronic fillable form may identify an electronic fillable form comprising one or more fillable fields and one or more text items, and for one or more pairs of fillable fields and text items, determine a confidence value associated with the pair. The system may determine a first configuration for the electronic fillable form, determine an overall confidence value for the first configuration, and identify one or more orphan fields from the determined configuration. The system may determine a second configuration for the electronic form, determines an overall confidence value for the second configuration, and in response to the overall confidence value for the first configuration exceeding the overall confidence value for the second configuration, selects the first configuration, otherwise, selects the second configuration. The system creates an association map for the selected configuration.
