Patent number: 11256852Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, machines, systems, computer-implemented methods and computer program products are provided for converting part or all of a document from an unstructured format into a structured format, and combining structured and unstructured data into an unstructured format. In some embodiments, documents are received in an unstructured format, and stored in a repository for querying (e.g., including updating and other operations (e.g., SQL SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, MERGE, etc.)). Responsive to detecting a predetermined number of the documents in an unstructured format stored in a repository for querying, an optimization criteria may be applied to identify one or more components of the stored documents for conversion, and the one or more components of the stored documents are converted from the unstructured format to a structured format.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Scott D.

Patent number: 11250203Abstract: Images stored in an information repository are prepared for browsing. For each image in the repository, text in the repository is mined to extract snippets of text about the image which are semantically relevant to the image, and for each of these snippets of text, keyterms are detected in the snippet of text which represent either concepts that are related to the image or entities that are related to the image, and the snippet of text and keyterms are associated with the image. Each keyterm that is associated with each image in the repository is hyperlinked to each other image in the repository that has this keyterm associated therewith. A graphical user interface allows a user to browse the images in the repository by using their associated snippets of text and hyperlinked keyterms.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2013Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Simon John Baker, Anitha Kannan, Krishnan Ramnath

Patent number: 11244105Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for editing a collaborative spreadsheets hosted on a server. Multiple users may edit the spreadsheet, resulting in situations of intersecting or conflicting edits. A change provided by one user may intersect the cells affected by a change provided by another user. In these cases, one user's change is transformed against the other user's change. In this manner, the conflict is resolved and both changes can be applied to the spreadsheet. Each user device may perform these transforms, and the server may also perform these transforms. This can result in transmission of a reduced volume of data over a network between the devices and the server, in comparison with other methods.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2014Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Benjamin Wolfe Simon, Amod Karve, Joshua Ari Danziger, Zachary Erik Lloyd

Patent number: 11210452Abstract: Markup language documents including server side scripting code using PHP syntax are executed efficiently in response to requests received by a server. The processing of the markup language document results in generation of a transformed markup language document that is returned in response to the request. The server side script code is input to a compiler that generates C++ code (or code in any object-based language based on C language) implementing the functionality of the server side script code. The C++ code is compiled to generated object code which is executed in order to process the markup language document. The generated C++ code includes functionality supported by PHP language including redeclaration of functions, dynamic variables, global variables, and the like. The generated C++ code invokes memory allocation code that allocates and deallocates objects obtained by instantiating the generated C++ classes.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Iain Andrew Russell Proctor, Minghui Yang, Haiping Zhao

Patent number: 11194595Abstract: A generation apparatus that generates a mapping between individual properties included in an object in a program and individual elements of a structured document. The generation apparatus includes: an object tree generation unit that generates a tree structure representing hierarchical structure of the object by assigning the individual properties included in the object to nodes of the tree structure; and a selection unit that selects a mapping minimizing conversion cost of converting the tree structure of the object to a tree structure that includes the individual elements of the structured document as its nodes. The selection is from mappings that associate the individual properties included in the object with the individual elements of the structured document.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Toyotaro Suzumura, Michiaki Tatsubori, Akihiko Tozawa

Patent number: 11113458Abstract: During operation of a program, various different editing actions can be performed on data (e.g., image or video data) in a document. The data includes multiple objects, each of which is a user-selectable element of the data, such as a line, a shape, or a filter applied to the data. A record of actions taken on objects in the data is maintained, and the actions can be undone. A document-based undo operation can be performed, which undoes the last action performed in the document. An object-based undo can also be performed, which undoes the last action performed on a selected one or more objects in the document. A document-based redo operation can be performed, which redoes the last action undone in the document. An object-based redo can also be performed, which redoes the last action undone on a selected one or more objects in the document.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2014Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventor: Anant Gilra

Patent number: 10339213Abstract: Techniques for facilitating navigation in a web-based data entry grid. In one set of embodiments, when a user navigates into a cell of the data entry grid, the user's web browser can wait for a predetermined time period before accessing an application server to retrieve input control information for the cell. If the user enters a command to navigate away from the cell before the predetermined time period has passed, the server access can be avoided, and thus the navigation event can be processed immediately. If no navigation command is received from the user before the predetermined time period has passed, the input control information can be retrieved from the application server and rendered.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2015Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Hendrik van den Broek, Chadwick Chow
