  • Patent number: 10592864
    Abstract: Issuance of job tokens performed by an authorization computing entity so that authoring authorizations can be shared with other authors. Each of the job tokens represents an authorization to engage in a particular manner in an authoring session in which a declarative document is being authored. That engagement includes sharing one or more authorizations with other possible author. The declarative document is a computer program in the form of a list of declarative statements made in a declarative programming language. The management occurs by evaluating incoming requests to engage in various ways in an authoring session.

  • Patent number: 10580111
    Abstract: A device includes a digitizer in communication with a touch sensor and configured to generate touchscreen data indicative of an ink stroke, a processor configured to generate image data for rendering on a display panel, and a display controller configured to receive the image data and to generate pixel control signals for the display panel from the image data. The display controller includes a memory to store frame data derived from the image data by the display controller, and an ink rendering engine configured to generate ink image data from the touchscreen data while the processor resides in a sleep mode. The ink rendering engine is coupled to the memory to store the ink image data in the memory as the frame data such that the pixel control signals direct the display panel to render the ink stroke while the processor remains in the sleep mode.

  • Patent number: 10187395
    Abstract: Autocompleting into an invite box for purposes of sharing an executable computing resource such as an application or portion thereof. However, the autocomplete is populated with potential sharees of multiple tenants or with identities that are not registered with the tenant directory of the user. Thus, potentially any potentially sharee worldwide may be populated within the list of potential sharees. As the desired potential sharee comes into view, that potential sharee may be selected, and added to a list of one or more selected sharees. At some point, a control may be selected to allow the executable computing resource to be shared with the selected sharees within the list.

  • Publication number: 20170315785
    Abstract: Management of an authoring session in which a declarative document is authored by multiple authoring entities. The declarative document is a computer program that is formed of declarative statements made in a declarative programming language. The management occurs by evaluating incoming requests to engage in various ways in an authoring session. The engagement might include initiating an authoring session, attaching to an existing authoring session, or performing actions (such as read, write, publish, save, share, and so forth). The management uses job tokens that are issued to the multiple authors in a manner that concurrent authoring is possible. Upon receiving the request for engagement in the authoring session, the corresponding job token is evaluated to determine whether the requestor is authored to engage as requested. The engagement is then performed if permitted.

  • Patent number: 7779367
    Abstract: A toolbar displays dynamically configured controls based on a size of a window in which an application is running and on the media type presented. A large set of available controls may be available for the toolbar; however, the size of the application window in which the application is running may not be able to display all of the available controls in the window in such as way as to be comfortably used by a user. Accordingly, the controls may be scaled, filtered, and interchanged according to the “real estate” available in the application window, as well as other contextual aspects of the application, to provide a more user-friendly experience.

  • Patent number: 7469386
    Abstract: The present invention provides a systems, methods, and products for enhanced user navigation to compliment (but not necessarily replace) a computer keyboard and mouse by providing a robust navigation interface. The present invention may comprise: a minimally necessary group of commands; combining the functionality a set of at least two command calls into a single logical button; for a single button, prioritizing a set of command calls from first to last and then calling each until one is accepted; logically remapping commands to buttons for a navigational device coupled to a physically rotate-able display device; and mapping a substitute command to a logical button for when the button is engaged in a predetermined manner other than the primary manner in which the logical button is engaged (e.g., double-clicking, flicking, press-and-hold, etc.) so that a substitute command can in fact be issued, among others.
