  • Patent number: 11138289
    Abstract: Techniques for providing annotations in a web browser or a native application herein include analyzing the structure of a webpage to determine a topology, constructing a model of the webpage based on the topology configured to automatically monitor the topology and to update the model based on detected changes to the webpage, extracting, from the model, a first text string from textual content of a first editable node, sending at least first portion of the first text string to a server to obtain annotations, detecting that the textual content of the first editable node has been modified by a second text string modifying at least a portion of the textual content, receiving the annotations from the server comprising suggestions for improving the first text string, updating the annotations to produce reconciled annotations by modifying the annotations, and rendering the reconciled annotations over the first editable node.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11106757
    Abstract: Techniques for providing writing assistance features a web browser or a native application including an embedded web browser herein include detecting that a webpage has been rendered by the web browser; analyzing a structure of the webpage to determine a topology of the webpage by accessing a Document Object Model (DOM) of the webpage and traversing the DOM of the webpage to identify nodes comprising the webpage to determine the topology of the webpage; construct a model of the webpage based on the topology, wherein the model of the webpage is configured to automatically monitor the topology of the webpage and to update the model based on detected changes to the webpage; detect, using the model, a change in textual content of an input element of the webpage; obtain annotation information associated with the textual content; and render the annotations over at least a portion of the webpage.
