  • Patent number: 11361162
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of content matchers is executed upon a body of text in a document, identifying at least one match in the text and additionally assigning a match strength for each match. Where a conflict between a first match (have a first match strength associated therewith) and a second match (having a second match strength associated therewith) is noted, it is determined whether either of the first or the second match strength is greater than the other. If so, that match of the first and second matches corresponding to the lesser of the first and second match strengths is discarded. If the first or second match strengths are equal, then respective matcher ranks of the first matcher and the second matcher are compared such that the match of the first and second matches corresponding to the lesser of the first and second matcher ranks is discarded.

  • Patent number: 10911385
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing the display of instant messages between multiple clients is performed at a computer system. Upon receipt of a first synchronization request from a client, the first synchronization request including a conversation identifier and a last message timestamp, the computer system identifies a conversation including a set of messages associated with the conversation identifier. The set of messages was generated after the last message timestamp and have not been received by the client. The computer system then assigns display parameters to the set of messages based on their read-or-not indicators, content, and their temporal relationship with other messages in the conversation. Next, the computer system sends the set of messages and their respective display parameters to the client in a reverse chronological order. The client then displays the set of messages in accordance with their respective display parameters.
