  • Publication number: 20240062001
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for extracting structure and headers from a body of text. This computational extraction is based on the visual and logical similarities between portions of text. Boilerplate is removed from chunks of text making up potential headers and the cleaned result is compared against other potential headers and the remainder of the body of text.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9116722
    Abstract: Predicting user actions and preemptively modifying a device in such a way as to make performing those actions easier. More specifically, a dynamic ribbon (DR) which comprises a ribbon whose contents and attributes can be changed dynamically based on anticipated user actions. The anticipated user action is facilitated by modifying the DR according to a preference to make some information available and/or make some action easier to perform.
