Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for detecting a layout table by a screen reader. Information regarding a document being displayed by an application is received from an application programming interface of a user interface automation system that provides information regarding user interface elements of application and/or the application. The information includes an indication that the document comprises a table. A determination is made as to whether the table is a data table or a layout table based upon the received information using a rule-based heuristic. When it is determined that the table is a layout table, presentation information associated with the layout table can be skipped over, and, cell data content within the layout table provided. Thus, for a determined layout table, the system and method allow the screen reader to act as if the containing table doesn't exist, but still read the content.

Abstract: Described herein is a screen reader system for providing contextually relevant information for ambiguous link(s). Input is received from a user requesting information about a particular link of a web page. In response to the received user input, a request for contextually relevant information regarding the particular link (e.g., page identifier) is provided to a search engine. The request can include a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the particular link. Contextually relevant information regarding the particular link is received from the search engine. The received contextually relevant information is provided (e.g., displayed and/or read) to the user in response to the received request for information.

Abstract: Described herein is a screen reader providing a summary with popular link(s). The screen reader can provide a request for popular link information regarding a particular web resource to a search engine. The request can include a URL associated with the particular web resource. The request can be provided in response to a user request for a summary and/or the request can be provided based upon a user configurable setting (e.g., a quantity of popular links to be displayed). The screen reader can receive popular link information regarding the particular web resource from the search engine. The screen reader can then provide a summary comprising at least some of the received popular link information to the user. In response to selection of a particular popular link, the screen reader can redirect the browser to display a web resource associated with the particular popular link.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed regarding the positioning related data in a browser on a client device received from a server. The browser on the client device is capable of being resized in a number of potential sizes—e.g., desktop browser viewport, laptop browser viewport, tablet browser viewport and mobile browser viewport. Related data may comprise main data, relevant data and ancillary data. Depending on the browser viewport and the relevancy of the data to be displayed, one embodiment may dynamically position the relevant data to be near the top of the main data. Alternatively, ancillary data may be dynamically positioned to be near the bottom of the main data.

Abstract: A method for moving an interface control includes displaying, via a graphical user interface of a computing display, an interface control having a first appearance at a first interface surface of the graphical user interface. Via a computing device operatively coupled to the computing display, a user input to move the interface control to a second interface surface is received. Upon receiving the user input, the interface control is displayed with a second appearance at the second interface surface. Based on displaying the interface control at the second interface surface of the graphical user interface, display of the interface control at the first interface surface is discontinued. The interface control provides a first level of functionality when displayed at the first interface surface and a second level of functionality when displayed at the second interface surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed regarding the reformatting tabular data in a browser on a client device received from a server. The browser on the client device is capable of being resized in a number of potential sizes—e.g., desktop browser viewport, laptop browser viewport, tablet browser viewport and mobile browser viewport. Tabular data may comprise main data, row data and associated column data. Depending on the browser viewport, one embodiment may dynamically position the tabular data so that the associated column data is displayed near its associated row data.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a digital image viewer 110 may use an adjustable text backing shape 312 to preserve legibility of an image text segment 310 during size conversions of a digital image 304. The digital image viewer 110 may determine a viewport size of a viewport 302 for a display application 112 that downloads a digital image 304 with an image text segment 310. The digital image viewer 110 may interleave an adjustable text backing shape 312 of an independently adjustable shape size based on the viewport size between the digital image 304 and the image text segment 310.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a digital image viewer 110 may crop a digital image 304 to fit into the viewport 302 of the display application 112. The digital image viewer 110 may determine a viewport height of a viewport 302 for a display application 112 on a digital image viewer 110 that downloads a digital image 304. The digital image viewer 110 may execute an automatic size adjustment of the digital image 304 keyed to the viewport height.
