  • Implementing custom user interface forms in a personal information manager
    Patent number: 9298684
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for incorporating custom user interface (UI) forms into a personal information manager (PIM) application using a declarative form markup specification. A native PIM form specification is generated from a file containing the declarative form markup describing the custom UI form. When a request to display the custom UI form is received, a PIM native form renderer invokes a forms runtime engine that loads the original declarative form markup to process data bindings and event subscriptions contained therein. The custom UI form is then rendered to the display by the PIM native form renderer in conjunction with the forms runtime engine.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for pagination using variable page dimensions
    Patent number: 7581178
    Abstract: On-line or computer based document generation and consumption has become as common, or more so, than paper based document generation and consumption. With the move away from paper there is no longer the physical restriction of the paper on which a document may be printed. It is still desirable, however, to break documents into readable pages. We allow a selection of logical page breaks at locations that are deemed convenient, also allow for selection of approximate page dimensions for pages within each logical section. Because these pages are approximate, pagination is less computationally expensive than fixed pagination. Moreover, many of the appearance problems that plague fixed pagination dissolve.
