  • Patent number: 12217071
    Abstract: Adding electronic content by a user within the prior art requires the user formats every item or uses a template that predetermines the position and type of content added. However, it would be beneficial to provide users with templates which provide rules which are applied to the content as it is added based upon aspects of the template and/or data associated with the content. It would be beneficial if such templates automatically associated format elements, icons, other display elements, sourced additional content etc. based upon aspects such as the region of the template the content is added or data associated with the content being added. Further, where rendering is based upon data associated with the content if the user modifies the rendered content then these changes should be beneficially reflected in the data associated with the content such that a subsequent rendering reflects the user adjustments, etc.

  • Patent number: 12206640
    Abstract: The disclosed system and method enable multiple user devices to track the read/unread status of received messages, even though the user reads the message on only one device. A server of a telecommunication network can receive, from a user device associated with a sender, a message sent to a recipient. The user device does not communicate to the server that the received message has been read. Upon receiving the message, the server can determine that the message is in reply to a message thread and can update a status of a second message in the message thread to the read status. The second message is the most recent message in the message thread sent by the recipient to the sender. The server can provide the updated status of the second message in the message thread to the multiple user devices associated with the sender.

  • Patent number: 12106408
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing tool tutorials based on tutorial information that is dynamically integrated into tool tutorial shells using graphics editing system operations in a graphics editing systems. In operation, an image is received in association with a graphics editing application. Tool parameters (e.g., image-specific tool parameters) are generated based on processing the image. The tool parameters are generated for a graphics editing tool of the graphics editing application. The graphics editing tool (e.g., object removal tool or spot healing tool) can be a premium version of a simplified version of the graphics editing tool in a freemium application service. Based on the tool parameters and the image, a tool tutorial data file is generated by incorporating the tool parameters and the image into a tool tutorial shell. The tool tutorial data file can be selectively rendered in an integrated interface of the graphics editing application.

  • Patent number: 12067102
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a security verification method and a relevant device, to increase the difficulty of cracking. The method includes: receiving, from a verification requester, a request for pulling a sliding verification code; acquiring the sliding verification code which includes a slider and a second endpoint image obtained by performing filter processing on a first endpoint image; and returning the sliding verification code to the verification requester. The first endpoint image and the slider are generated from the same original image, and the slider and the second endpoint image are returned to the verification requester finally. The second endpoint image is obtained by performing image processing on the first endpoint image, and after the image processing, in an area outside the slider placement area, pixel values of pixels in the second endpoint image are different from pixel values of corresponding pixels in the original image.
