  • Patent number: 10909309
    Abstract: A system and method includes receiving content of an electronic document having a document type, the content divided into components each having a unique identifier and selecting an extraction schema based on the document type, the extraction schema having a plurality of data categories. For each of the components, the extraction schema is applied to identify content of the component that corresponds to individual ones of the data categories and saving, with the processor, in an electronic data storage, in a record associated with the component, category metadata indicative of content of the component corresponding to the data categories. In response to obtaining the category metadata for each of the components, applying the extraction schema to the content metadata of each of the components and to the electronic document as a whole to determine document metadata. A user interface displays the document metadata on the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10713424
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be used to present changes to a document on a user interface. A method may include receiving, on the user interface, a user input including an edit task to a first portion of a document. The method may include determining, using a processor, that a second portion of the document includes text changeable by the edit task. The method may include automatically performing the edit task on the second portion of the document within the user interface based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 10699065
    Abstract: A system and method includes receiving an electronic document having content divided into components and, for each of the components, comparing content of the component with component content characteristics of a classification schema associated with a document type and storing, in an electronic data storage, in a record associated with the component, indications of the component content characteristics of the classification schema that are included in the component. Document content characteristics of the classification schema are compared with the content of the electronic document and storing, in the electronic data storage, in a record for the electronic document, indications of the document content characteristics of the classification schema that are included in the electronic document. The electronic document is identified as the document type based on the content characteristics of the records meeting a document type criteria.

  • Patent number: 10606467
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to fidelity management of an exemplary notecard item based on action(s) for movement that may re-locate notecard item(s) across any of: different content portions of a digital document, different digital documents of an application/service and digital documents of different applications/services. Specific data (and metadata) is collected and analyzed to enable determination of a level of fidelity for rendering of a notecard item, where a representation of a notecard item is generated to fit a context of a digital document in which the notecard item is being placed. A representation of a notecard item may be rendered at a first level of fidelity in one context but a different level of fidelity when the notecard item is moved to a different context. In other instances, evaluation of a notecard item yields a determination to maintain fidelity after an action that re-locates a notecard item.

  • Patent number: 10579716
    Abstract: A system and method includes obtaining content extracted from an electronic document, the electronic document having a document type. At least some of the content is transmitted to an online social networking system based on the document type. A recommended content change is received from the online social networking system. A user interface dynamically displays the recommended content change concurrently with display of the electronic document as the electronic document is updated.

  • Patent number: 10402487
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to creation and management of exemplary notecard items that are reusable in different contexts and across different applications/services. Exemplary notecard items may be created and presented through a user interface of an application/service. A notecard item is individual, self-contained digital data object that provides content to supplement a digital document. Exemplary notecard items live outside of an application/service, in which the notecard item is created or used, where a notecard item may be linked to a digital document but also exists as a separate object. For instance, an exemplary notecard file may be created for management of a created notecard item, where the notecard file is stored in one or more data storages (e.g., a local cache of a computing device and/or a distributed data storage) that is accessible by applications/services.
