  • Publication number: 20230385526
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method for real-time dynamic web page display enhancement and a computing apparatus configured to implement said method. The method includes requesting at least one web page code file using a web browser, extracting the at least one style tag and the at least one variable attribute from the at least one web page code file using an extraction module, sending a request signal from the extraction module to an attribute database, returning from the attribute database to a user interface controller a response signal, sending a present user interface signal from the user interface controller to the web browser, accepting at least one selection signal from the web user through the at least one display control of the user interface to the web browser, and generating an enhanced web page.

  • Patent number: 11803701
    Abstract: A method of evolving web pages or forms to better accord with usability metrics involves generating a heat map encoding of user interaction with a web page or electronic form, transforming the heat map with a machine neural network or other machine learning algorithm into at least one visual element placement prioritization for the web page or electronic form, and applying the visual element placement prioritization to modify a layout of the web page or electronic form.

  • Patent number: 11423224
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate generally to image-to-text recognition. In an example thereof, a device captures an image and generates image data and associated meta data. A parser parses the image data and the meta data into sub-image data and sub-meta data, respectively. A recognizer renders the sub-image data into strings for one or more identified objects in the sub-image data. A mapper-controller maps the sub-image data in association with the sub-meta data to generate a data structure having positional information with respect to the one or more identified objects. A dictionary store is accessed by a natural language processing engine responsive to the strings. The natural language processing engine converts the strings into a natural language expression for the strings and the positional information obtained from the data structure.

  • Patent number: 11032437
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for validating paper forms are provided. A node can receive paper-form data from a paper form that has first and second data items (DIs). The node can: determine first and second metadata for the first and second DIs respectively, determine respective first and second validation entities (VEs) to validate respective values of the first and second DIs based on the respective first and second metadata, where the first and second VEs can differ, provide a user interface (UI) including a display of the first DI, receive a validation status for the first DI via the first UI from the first VE, select a first distributed storage system (DSS) associated with the first DI, and record the value of the first DI and the validation status in the first DSS. The node can generate an output related to the paper-form data based on the first DSS.

  • Patent number: 10832007
    Abstract: Method(s) and apparatus(es) relating generally to an electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive input device are disclosed. In such a method, a first keypad is displayed on the display. Obtained is sensed information from the touch-sensitive input device responsive to user input in association with the first keypad. The user input is determined to be for a second keypad different from the first keypad. A corresponding input to the user input is determined using the sensed information in association with the second keypad. The corresponding input is displayed on the display.

  • Patent number: 10797883
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for storing trackable actions in a ledger are provided. A computing device acting as a node can receive a notification of a trackable action. The trackable action can relate to a printer-related transaction and/or an entry-or-exit transaction. The node can generate a block hash value using a hash function operating on data that includes at least part of the notification. The node can add a new block to a ledger, the new block including: the block hash value, a reference to a previous-block hash value of a previous block in the ledger, and the data that includes at least part of the notification of the trackable action. The node can receive a query related to the ledger. In response to the query, the node can provide an output that includes information about the trackable action.

  • Publication number: 20200226808
    Abstract: System and method relating generally to an electronic device are described. In such a method, content is accessed by the electronic device to display the accessed content on at least a portion of a screen. At least one original dimension of the accessed content is determined to exceed at least one threshold dimension corresponding thereto in order to display the accessed content with the at least one original dimension on at least the portion of the screen. Responsive to a determination that the at least one original dimension exceeds the at least one threshold dimension, a subset of the accessed content is obtained with subset dimensions thereof each less than or equal to corresponding display region dimensions including the at least one threshold dimension to display the subset on at least the portion of the screen. The subset is displayed on at least the portion of the screen.
