Abstract: Systems and methods provide adapted content to a visitor to a physical environment. An example method receives an image of a visitor to an environment. A visitor portion of the image is distinct from an environment portion of the image. The method detects one or more shapes in the visitor portion of the image using an automatic shape detection technique and defines an approximate boundary of the one or more shapes using a mask. The one or more shapes can be shapes of the visitor's clothing items. The method then calculates an attribute for an area of the image within the mask and identifies electronic content based on the attribute for the area of the image within the mask. The attribute can be a color attribute for the area such as a median color or a dominant color. The method provides the identified electronic content for display in the environment.

Abstract: A preloading tool facilitates efficient loading for content associated with links in a web document. An index containing links for a current page is created. The index includes coordinates of the links and trigger area coordinates of a trigger area for each link. When a user interaction is detected in a trigger area indicating the user may wish to navigate to additional content (i.e., the predicted link), standard click behavior for the predicted link is disabled. Resources required to render the content (i.e., the new page) for the predicted link begin downloading and are cached. Once the user actually selects the link, the transition from the current page to the new page is accomplished without the new page appearing broken. In some instances, certain links are excluded from the index and/or target attributes point to one or more containers that will be updated by one or more of the links.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for navigation in a hierarchical node structure. A first graphical element representing a parent node in a hierarchical node structure is displayed via a graphical user interface (GUI). One or more second graphical elements, each representing a first child node of the parent node, are further displayed via the GUI on a first imaginary curve adjacent to or at least partially surrounding the parent node. In response to a user selection of one of the first child nodes, one or more third graphical elements each representing a second child node of the first child node are displayed via the GUI on a second imaginary curve adjacent to or at least partially surrounding the selected child node.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for exchanging information between devices. Each device is configured to execute a web browser application. One of the devices is referred to as a streamer device, and the other a receiver device. The receiver device includes a camera for receiving images displayed by the streamer device. A user of the streamer device can orient the display of the streamer towards the camera of the receiver device. The receiver device uses the camera to observe images displayed by any streamer devices that are present within the field of view of the camera. The receiver device, via the camera, analyzes each video frame displayed by the streamer device for a pattern. If the pattern is detected and matches a predefined pattern, the receiver device can retrieve information associated with the pattern, and display that information in the web browser.

Abstract: In various implementations, an embedded document receives untrusted content from a containing document, where the embedded document is in the containing document. In some cases, the untrusted content is received by the containing document from a server and is forwarded to the embedded document without rendering the untrusted content in the containing document. Instead, the untrusted content is rendered in the embedded document. A sandbox policy is enforced on the embedded document such that the rendered untrusted content is restricted from accessing data associated with the containing document. The untrusted content may comprise malicious code that when rendered executes an XXS attack that attempts to access the data associated with the containing document. However, because the untrusted content is rendered in the embedded document, the malicious code may be denied access to the data, thereby preventing the XSS attack from succeeding.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for segmenting digital content into a plurality of tiles which can be displayed across multiple application windows. For example, in one specific implementation, the methods disclosed herein can be used to segment a webpage into a plurality of tiles, wherein each of the tiles can be displayed in a separate web browser that displays a portion of the original webpage. In general, each content browser identifies which tile it displays based on a configuration that can be stored locally by the browser. To maintain interactivity such as may be provided by active content, each browser includes a mutation observer configured to detect changes in a document object model (DOM) and/or cascading style sheet (CSS) associated with the displayed content. Detected changes are recorded in notification messages which can be broadcast to other content browsers via a WebSocket connection or a direct peer-to-peer network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing information between devices are provided. An exemplary method receives, at first computing device, electronic content and data identifying one or more peer computing devices and establishes respective connections between the first device and each of the peer devices. The method sends, from the master device, to each of the peer devices, the content. When the content is received by the peer devices, at least a portion of the content is simultaneously displayed by the master device and the peer computing devices. In an embodiment, each of a group of devices at a location is configured to execute a player application within a browser in order to simultaneously display website content in a synchronized manner. One of the devices is referred to as a master device. The master device obtains current website content from a content repository and propagates the website content to the peer devices.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for selectively broadcasting information from a sender's computer to one or more recipient computers in real-time. A user connects to a networked content server and browses selected content items which are determined to be of interest to other collaborators. The user activates a content sharing mode and indicates which content is to be shared. A reference to the shared content is sent to the server which in turn pushes the referenced content to identified content recipients. Content recipients can be identified based on a variety of factors, such as by subscription to a listening channel opened by the content sender, by individual selection by the content sender, and/or by geolocation. The shared content can be automatically displayed to each identified content recipient non-intrusively. Content can be pushed to the content recipients via a persistent open communication channel established between the content server and content recipients.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for facilitating user-centric identity management. In this regard, various aspects of identity management are designed to be more transparent to users to bolster user assurance with respect to “behind-the-scenes” procedures of identity management. Generally, indications of data flow between service providers, identity providers, and/or user devices can be provided to the user device for presentation to the user. As a result, visual representations of data flow, notifications of data flow, or the like, can be presented to the user to expose various aspects of identity management. In some embodiments, users may be able to control aspects of identity management, for example, by confirming or preventing data flow between providers.

Abstract: Techniques for locally rendering an object as an image may be provided. For example, an application may be executed by a computing device to access and retrieve information from a network-based resource and may display the retrieved information to a user of the computing device. In response to identifying (e.g., by way of a user selection or an automated selection) of an object within the displayed information, the application may locally process the object to generate a graphics object. Further, the application may configure the graphics object to support image-rendering operations by, for example, importing properties from the object into the graphics object and storing the graphics object as binary data at a location in a local memory of the application. Subsequently, the application may use the binary data and the location in the local memory to render an image based on the graphics object.

Abstract: An editable version of a first web page may be created by first forming a second web page having the first web page as an inline frame. Then an outer frame of the second web page can be created, the outer frame designed to cause a browser rendering the second web page to create objects in the outer frame placed over corresponding objects in the first web page in the inline frame such that user attempts at interaction with the corresponding objects in the first web page are intercepted by the objects in the outer frame.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing visual path resolution in a context separated authoring environment of a REST- and component-based content management system. A web page editor is activated for editing a web page having a plurality of Document Object Model components. A structured document is generated and configured to present the web page components and at least a portion of the web page editor in a common frame of a browser window, as well as visual indications of regions of the web page that contain one or more of the components. In response to receiving an input that selects one of the components, the structured document is updated to present information about a property of the selected component, such as a path to a location of the selected component and/or a type of the selected component, in the same region of the web page that contains the selected component.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for maintaining different versions of a web resource. A client-side application observes and tracks all asynchronous requests for web resources sent from the client to a server. Every time a user attempts to modify a resource on the server, the application stops or otherwise pauses the execution of the request and retrieves a representation of the resource from the server in an original state. The representation is stored locally on the client in a local storage, such as browser persistent storage, and may be stored with a timestamp and the corresponding resource URL. Subsequently, the request to modify the resource is executed. In this manner, a representation of the resource is retained in an original state prior to modification. The locally-stored representation can be used to restore the resource back to the original state in response to a so-called undo request by the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a context menu based on predicted commands. One embodiment involves identifying historical commands previously performed in an application. The embodiment also involves determining that each of a subset of commands from the historical commands has a higher correlation with a trigger command than others of the plurality of historical commands. The embodiment also involves generating a context menu including the subset of commands in response to receiving a request for the context menu after performing the trigger command in the application.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for navigation in a hierarchical node structure. A first graphical element representing a parent node in a hierarchical node structure is displayed via a graphical user interface (GUI). One or more second graphical elements, each representing a first child node of the parent node, are further displayed via the GUI on a first imaginary curve adjacent to or at least partially surrounding the parent node. In response to a user selection of one of the first child nodes, one or more third graphical elements each representing a second child node of the first child node are displayed via the GUI on a second imaginary curve adjacent to or at least partially surrounding the selected child node.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for editing pages in a client-server architecture, such as in the context of cloud-based webpage editing applications. In one embodiment, a Clipboard Module running in the client browser is invoked in response to a copy operation that is requested with respect to a selected piece of content on a given page presented at the client. The Clipboard Module is configured to store the copied content in a local storage, and to also present a UI clipboard element for viewing by the user. The UI clipboard element can be dragged-and-dropped at a target drop location within the document being edited. A drop zone indicator can be visually displayed so that user can see where the clipboard content will be placed upon release of the drag-and-drop operation. Upon release, the clipboard content is pasted or otherwise inserted into the DOM of the target page at the current drop zone.
