  • Patent number: 8881037
    Abstract: One exemplary embodiment involves receiving input editing electronic content being edited in the electronic content creation application and identifying changes to the electronic content being edited that are required based on the input. The exemplary embodiment further involves determining one or more of the changes to be hidden effects and selectively displaying information associated with one or more effects defined for the electronic content being edited, where the information associated with the one or more effects excludes information about the hidden effects.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090012777
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus implementing systems and techniques for differencing token streams and detecting moved blocks of tokens. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: obtaining a first token stream and a second token stream, comparing the first and second token streams to identify a group of tokens that are substantially similar in the first and second token streams, the similar-tokens group including common sub-sequences, which are identical in the first and second token streams, and at least one unmatched token, and presenting matched token information corresponding to the similar-tokens group to represent changes in document flow.
