  • Publication number: 20230386114
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for detecting user interactions to edit a digital image from a client device and modify the digital image for the client device by using a web-based intermediary that modifies a latent vector of the digital image and an image modification neural network to generate a modified digital image from the modified latent vector. In response to user interaction to modify a digital image, for instance, the disclosed systems modify a latent vector extracted from the digital image to reflect the requested modification. The disclosed systems further use a latent vector stream renderer (as an intermediary device) to generate an image delta that indicates a difference between the digital image and the modified digital image. The disclosed systems then provide the image delta as part of a digital stream to a client device to quickly render the modified digital image.

  • Publication number: 20230237717
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for creating and managing semantic layers in a graphic design system. A method of creating and managing semantic layers includes receiving a selection of a content type to be generated, receiving a selection of a location in a digital canvas to place content of the content type, generating, using one or more machine learning models, content of the selected content type at the location in the digital canvas, and automatically adding the content to a layer associated with the digital canvas based on a semantic label associated with the content.

  • Publication number: 20230237719
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for performing content linting in a graphic design system. A method of content linting includes receiving a selection of a content type to be generated, receiving a selection of a location in a digital canvas to place content of the content type, determining a placement context associated with the location in the digital canvas, identifying one or more content rules to the content based on a static analysis of the placement context, and generating, using one or more machine learning models, content of the selected content type at the location in the digital canvas using the one or more content rules.

  • Patent number: 10209968
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving a programming language input having a client portion and a server portion, where client symbols of the client input portion are usable in the server input portion and server symbols of the server input portion are usable in the client input portion. The method includes parsing the input to separate the client input portion from the server input portion, identifying the usage of any client symbols in the server input portion and any server symbols in the client input portion, producing at least one communication service between the separated client and server input portions to support the usage of any client symbols in the separated server input portion and any server symbols in the separated client input portion, and translating the client input portion into an executable client application and the server input portion into an executable server application with communication there between.

  • Publication number: 20170346896
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for synchronized content display across a plurality of devices are disclosed herein. Content specified at a first device is deployed to the rest of the plurality of devices that are of diverse device types to each other. The first device instructs the other devices to render the content at each of the respective devices according to the respective device's content viewer and configuration. The first device also instructs the other devices to achieve a certain setting or state pertaining to true rendering of the content depending on the type of content to be rendered.

  • Patent number: 8615750
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving a client programming language input and a server programming language input, processing the client and server programming language inputs, and translating the client programming language input into an executable client application and the server programming language input into an executable server application, the executable client and server applications operable to communicate with each other. Processing the client and server programming language inputs includes identifying any invocations of server procedures of the server programming language input in the client programming language input, producing a combined server procedure in the server programming language input for identified server procedures invoked by the client programming language input, and replacing invocations of the identified server procedures in the client programming language input with an invocation of the combined server procedure.
