  • Publication number: 20240046677
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for text block segmentation includes determining a first text block segmentation pattern utilized to generate a segmented text block based, at least in part, on a comparison of semantic information associated with the segmented text block and a plurality of predefined types of text block segmentation patterns indicated by a graph; calculating a first degree of confidence in a size of the segmented text block based, at least in part, on comparing semantic entities associated with the segmented text block with semantic entities indicated by leaf nodes stemming from a first non-leaf node included in the graph and representative of the first type of text block segmentation pattern; and determining that the size of the segmented text block is non-optimal based on the calculated degree of confidence in the size of the segmented text block being below a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230092073
    Abstract: One or more computer operations are triggered and executed when multiple sets of conditions that define a split trigger and that are evaluated at multiple locations are satisfied. The operations may involve allocating or deallocating computing resources (e.g., by establishing or tearing down a persistent connection), generating a message to be displayed on a computing device, altering stored data, and/or other activity. In an illustrative client/server computing environment, a first set of client conditions of a first split trigger is evaluated at a client device, using parameters observable at the client without interaction with a server. When the first of client conditions is satisfied, the client transmits a signal to a server that then evaluates a first set of server conditions of the first split trigger. If the first sets of client conditions and server conditions are satisfied, the computer operation(s) associated with the split trigger are executed.

  • Publication number: 20230012784
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor identifies a plurality of text separators in a borderless table, a text separator of the plurality of text separators defining a non-text region between two consecutive text lines in the borderless table. A processor classifies the plurality of text separators into a number of target clusters comprised in a target group based on property information related to the plurality of text separators, the number of target clusters corresponding to a number of separator types. A processor provides indication information to indicate respective separator types of the plurality of text separators based on a result of the classifying.

  • Publication number: 20220309072
    Abstract: A computer transforms content of a composite table into structured data objects. The computer receives a composite table and identifying a data zone characterized by data columns, and a header zone. The computer identifies first header cells arranged coextensive with a single data column and second header cells arranged coextensive with a set of data columns. The computer generates a hierarchical representation of said header cells, based at least in part, on the header cell arrangements. The computer generates a revised table based on the hierarchical representation, with the first header cells identifying a data column and the second header cells identify a first header cell. The computer generates structured data objects representing the zones and being arranged based, at least in part, on the revised table and where the structured data objects are keyed to the first header cells.

  • Patent number: 11042391
    Abstract: A method for replaying operations on a widget in a graphical user interface (GUI) includes acquiring, from an operation record, operation information related to the widget and a first unique identification (UID) of the widget. A widget having a second UID is determined, wherein the second UID is generated based on a call stack for creating the widget in the GUI. The second UID is the same as the first UID. It may be determined whether the widget on the GUI is operable. An operation is executed on the widget according to the operation information related to the widget.

  • Patent number: 10298531
    Abstract: An emotion function chain may be generated from an email thread and displayed to a user in one or more windows on a computer display of a computer system. An email content analyzer may extract emotion indicators from the body of an email within the email thread. Using the emotion indicators, an attitude factor for an email may be determined. The attitude factors determined from each email within the email thread may be pictorially depicted in the emotion function chain. In response to a user interaction with a pictorial depiction of an attitude factor within the emotion function chain, a second window may generated to display the body of the email used to calculate the attitude factor interacted with.
