Abstract: Disclosed is a system and methods for selecting, organizing and presenting selected regions of digital documents within a dynamic display window for the arrangement and review of such regions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for visual comparison of different portions of one or more source documents to emulate a paper folding gesture experience in a user device, in which the user uses a mouse or finger in a touchscreen device to circle two or more portions of interest in the same or separate source documents, and provides a different user input such as a pinch motion or zoom in feature to display the selected regions proximate one another for visual comparison.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamic zoom adjustment based, in part, upon: the raster data in the user selected local area is disclosed; and/or the knowledge of a prevailing font size in a user selected region such that the text in that region is enlarged to be just readable. To achieve this, the detail in the local area is examined and a zoom factor is calculated that depends on the image detail and/or the viewing screen resolution. A document server may be employed to develop the information needed to enable this functionality. In one embodiment, the information is developed by RIPping the document, and then storing a spatial map of localized details (e.g., font sizes at several display resolutions) to automatically adjust a zoom level or factor and thereby facilitate navigation and reading.

Abstract: A client-side handheld device requests a server to convert server-side documents into a compression format prior to transmission of said documents to the client. The server retrieves and converts the requested documents to a raster image that is then compressed according to attributes based on information received from the client device in the initial document request. Instead of having to manipulate multiple formats which the original documents are in and supported by the server, the client-side device is preferably optimized in hardware and/or software to support and otherwise take advantage of the requested compression format. The compressed document is then delivered to the client device, in whole or in part, selectively or progressively over time per individual requests prior to displaying the received data to the end-user. Depending on the requested delivery mode, server-side documents are preferably compressed using wavelet compression methods, such as the JPEG 2000 standard, known in the arts.

Abstract: Methods and systems that dynamically control and/or direct document image processing based on one or more of client device display capabilites, image formats supported by the client device, network bandwidth, document file format, document content and user hints.

Abstract: Methods and systems that allow the viewing of arbitrary documents on a client display by up-loading all necessary image processing steps to the server, thereby eliminating any software downloads to, or installation on, the client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide data processing before data compression. The data processing includes contrast enhancement and/or custom color mapping.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a method for presenting spreadsheets and other documents on client-side devices with limited resources and tiny display screen area. The present invention involves the user, on a client-side device, scrolling through a condensed image view of a document with the user's viewpoint of the image repeatedly computed server-side. A split-bar is stitched into a composite view of the user's current viewpoint. The user clicks a scroll-bar or scroll-points to indicate an intended change in direction of their current viewpoint. The client-side device provides the server with information as to where and how the next viewpoint is to be updated. Responsive to the received client information the server updates the viewpoint currently displayed with the transmission of images therefor and provides the same back to the client. In such a manner, the computing power and resources of the server are utilized for the image manipulation, cropping, etc. rather than that of the client's handheld device.
