Patent number: 12423517Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for sharing a unified undo/redo stack between multiple applications. A method determining that a host application receives an action regarding a document, adding the action to a unified stack that is associated with undo commands and is shared between the host application and a secondary application, receiving an undo command from the host application or the secondary application, and retrieving the undo command from the unified stack to cause the action to be undone in the host application and the secondary application.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2024Date of Patent: September 23, 2025Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Kevin Markman, Kevin Winter, Luiz Do Amaral De Franca Pereira Filho, Yunchi Luo

Patent number: 11941354Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a summary of suggested changes made to an electronic document. A suggested change is iteratively selected from a first list of suggested changes. A second list of modified suggested changes is generated by processing each selected suggested change in the first list of suggested changes. The processing comprises marking the selected suggested change for including or excluding the summary. If the selected suggested change is marked for including the summary, the processing further comprises at least one of combining the selected suggested change with a previously processed suggested change to form one of the modified suggested changes for including in the second list, and truncating the selected suggested change to form one of the modified suggested changes for including in the second list. The second list of modified suggested changes is provided as the summary of suggested changes.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Kevin Markman, Kevin Winter, Luiz Do Amaral De Franca Pereira Filho, Yunchi Luo

Patent number: 11537278Abstract: The technology herein involves accessing content of an electronic document and a shared layout for the electronic document, wherein the shared layout provides a layout for user devices having different dimensions of display areas; rendering the content of the electronic document onto a primary rendering surface and a secondary rendering surface, wherein the primary rendering surface is associated with a native platform of a user device and the secondary rendering surface is associated with the shared layout of a server; applying operation commands to modify the primary rendering surface, the operation commands resulting from a user interaction with the electronic document; merging the operation commands into a merged operation call; and invoking the merged operation call to modify the secondary rendering surface, wherein the merged operation call reduces a number of operation calls that modify the secondary rendering surface and is shared with the server to modify the shared layout.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Haluk Burcin Tunali, Luiz do Amaral de Franca Pereira Filho, Etan Bukiet, Behnoosh Hariri, Norbert Zsolt Kenderesi, Igor Kopylov, Matthew Jay Isison, Kevin Winter, Olga Sergeyevna Saviano, Gregory George Galante, Mathieu Turcotte, Jacob Robert Voytko, Leeran Raphaely

Publication number: 20210247891Abstract: The technology herein involves accessing content of an electronic document and a shared layout for the electronic document, wherein the shared layout provides a layout for user devices having different dimensions of display areas; rendering the content of the electronic document onto a primary rendering surface and a secondary rendering surface, wherein the primary rendering surface is associated with a native platform of a user device and the secondary rendering surface is associated with the shared layout of a server; applying operation commands to modify the primary rendering surface, the operation commands resulting from a user interaction with the electronic document; merging the operation commands into a merged operation call; and invoking the merged operation call to modify the secondary rendering surface, wherein the merged operation call reduces a number of operation calls that modify the secondary rendering surface and is shared with the server to modify the shared layout.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventors: Haluk Tunali, Luiz do Amaral de Franca Pereira Filho, Etan Bukiet, Behnoosh Hariri, Norbert Zsolt Kenderesi, Igor Kopylov, Matthew Jay Isison, Kevin Winter, Olga Sergeyevna Saviano, Gregory George Galante, Mathieu Turcotte, Jacob Robert Voytko, Leeran Raphaely

Patent number: 10990258Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a method that includes obtaining, at a user device from a remote storage server, content relating to an electronic document, and rendering the content of the electronic document onto a first virtual rendering surface. The method further includes maintaining a second virtual rendering surface that stores a current state of the first virtual rendering surface. The method further includes obtaining an operation command relating to the electronic document, and retrieving first state information of the first virtual rendering surface and second state information of the second virtual rendering surface. The method further includes applying the operation command to the rendered content of the electronic document on the first virtual rendering surface, and updating at least one of the first state information or the second state information based on a type of the operation command.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Haluk Burcin Tunali, Luiz do Amaral de Franca Pereira Filho, Etan Bukiet, Behnoosh Hariri, Norbert Zsolt Kenderesi, Igor Kopylov, Matthew Jay Isison, Kevin Winter, Olga Sergeyevna Saviano, Gregory George Galante, Mathieu Turcotte, Jacob Robert Voytko, Leeran Raphaely

Patent number: 10521498Abstract: A document editor may manage suggested edits in a collaborative document. The document editor may instantiate a document model associated with the collaborative document. When a first editing suggestion is received for the collaborative document, a first suggestion command is associated with the first editing suggestion based on a type of the first editing suggestion and a type of the document model. The document editor may apply the first suggestion command on the document model to present the first editing suggestion within the collaborative document. When an acceptance indication for the first editing suggestion is received, the document model can be updated with the first suggestion command in response to the received acceptance indication.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Luiz Do Amaral De Franca Pereira Filho, Steven Joseph Saviano, Kevin Markman, Thomas John Schirripa, Isaac Quinn Shum, Kevin Winter, Ian Gunn, Stephen Alexander Garcia-Wright, Olga Sergeyevna Saviano, Venkat Ganesan, Augustin O.

Patent number: 10452750Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a method of consistently presenting a visible portion of a rendering surface on multiple user devices. The method includes obtaining, at a user device from a remote storage server, content relating to an electronic document stored on the remote storage server, and then determining layout parameters of the content. The layout parameters define a consistent layout on a virtual rendering surface for the content of the electronic document across multiple user devices having different dimensions of display areas. The method further includes obtaining, via a user interface at the user device, a user indication indicative of a visible portion of the electronic document to be displayed via the user interface. The method further includes determining rendering parameters to render the visible portion at the user interface, and rendering the visible portion via the user interface on the user device.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Haluk Burcin Tunali, Luiz do Amaral de Franca Pereira Filho, Etan Bukiet, Behnoosh Hariri, Kevin Winter, Igor Kopylov
