  • Patent number: 11087074
    Abstract: A system comprises a first workstation that locally instantiates a design tool configured to allow a designer to specify a design for a web page. A data store is locally available to the first workstation, and receives and stores the design as a saved design. A second workstation provides access to a code editor to allow a programmer to specify a modification to an encoding of the design. A server means instantiates the code editor for the second workstation, saves the modification as a saved modification, and serves the encoding of the design in accordance with the modification by combining the saved modification with the saved design. The server means seamlessly combines the saved design and the saved modification such that the saved modification and the saved design can each be independently altered and recombined to produce a modified encoding of the design.

  • Patent number: 11029819
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that are configured to semi-automate data transformation processing so that content can be transformed, from one type of electronic document, for presentation in another type of electronic document. For instance, data transformation suggestions, for transforming content from a first form into a presentation form (second form), may be generated and presented to a user through an improved user interface of an application/service that is used to display the first form of the content. The improved user interface provides a new user interface menu to manage the data transformation suggestions and/or export/import processing of data from one type of electronic document to another. Based on user selection of the confirming data transformation suggestions through the user interface menu, a presentation document is automatically generated on behalf of the user, for example, in a different application/service.

  • Patent number: 11017179
    Abstract: A summarizer can be invoked by a user to summarize content. Once started, the summarizer can examine the content, determine a main body of the content, extract texts from the main body, concatenate the texts into a text block, and make a call to an artificial intelligence (AI) platform. The call can contain the text block and specify a user-configurable summarization range for summarizing the text block. The AI platform is operable to generate a sentiment of the text block and a summary of the text block in the summarization range and return them to the summarizer. The summarizer, in turn, can instruct an application on the user device to generate a window or page for displaying the sentiment and the summary in the summarization range on the user device, in real time and in context of the content that the user is viewing, reading, or listening.

  • Patent number: 11010423
    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for automatic population of electronic documents are described. In an example, a digital base document having the information to be populated in a data field of the electronic document may be obtained. From the digital base document a data item to provide the information may be extracted. Further, for the digital base document, a similarity score may be computed with respect to each document type defined in predefined mapping data, the predefined mapping data including, for each document type, a weight associated with data items occurring in the document type, the weight being associated based on the importance of the data item to the document. Based on the similarity score, a document type of the digital base document may be identified. Further, based on a position of the data item in the digital base document and the identified document type, the data field may be populated.

  • Patent number: 11010547
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and applying outgoing communication templates. In various implementations a corpus of outgoing communications sent by a user may be grouped into a plurality of clusters based on one or more attributes of a context of the user. One or more segments of each outgoing communication of a particular cluster may be classified as fixed in response to a determination that a count of occurrences of the one or more segments across the particular cluster satisfies a criterion. One or more remaining segments of each communication of the particular cluster may or may not be classified as transient. Based on sequences of classified segments associated with each communication of the particular cluster, an outgoing communication template may be generated to automatically populate at least a portion of a draft outgoing communication being prepared by the user.
