  • Patent number: 10867117
    Abstract: Portions of document contents are separated into individually controlled sections on a user interface of a smaller size client device display. A document viewed on a mobile device may include different content portions such as textual content, tables, slides and graphics. Due to a smaller user interface of the mobile device, some portions of the content may extend outside of the user interface and may not all be visible at the same time. The user may use gestures to scroll through and resize the document to view all of the contents. The system may separate each of the different content portions into individual sections and enable the user to control each section separately, such that the user may navigate, resize, and reposition each individual section without affecting the size and position of the remaining sections of the document for optimally viewing the document on the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20040068569
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying portable devices by a web server. The system includes a portable device and a web server. When web service is desired, at least one unique identifying characteristic of the portable device is acquired and included into the header of a HTTP packet, and the packet is sent to a web server. The packet is received by the web server through a network, and the unique identifying characteristics of the portable device are acquired from the header of the packet. Further, the production date and specifications of the portable device are acquired by querying a database according to the unique identifying characteristics on the web server.

  • Publication number: 20040006578
    Abstract: A system for distributed concurrent version management. The system includes a first server, a second server, and a first client. The first server has a first database including a file. The second server has a second database including a file copy corresponding to the file, a data replication module, and a connection detection module. When the first client wants to replace the file copy in the second server with an updated file, the file copy is replaced by the updated file when the first server and the second server are connected. Then, the updated file is copied to the first server by the data replication module, and the file in the first database is replaced by the updated file.
