Patent number: 11954821Abstract: An image has pixels arranged in perpendicular rows/columns. The size of the image is changed to produce a changed-size image and the changed-size image is output. The process of changing the size of the image adds at least one row/column as at least one inserted row/column. The inserted row/column is made up of data from generating adjacent rows/columns of the perpendicular rows/columns. Embodiments that reduce the size of the image remove the generating adjacent rows/columns that were used to form the inserted row/column and, in such reduction processing the inserted row/column is added where the (now removed) generating adjacent rows/columns were previously positioned. In embodiments that increase the size of the image, instead of removing the generating adjacent rows/columns, the inserted row/column is merely inserted between the adjacent rows/columns.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Stuart Schweid

Patent number: 9727293Abstract: A method and apparatus for paginating documents such as html documents is disclosed. A document viewing engine generates a preliminary layout for the, the preliminary layout having a layout width that is equivalent to a viewport width of a viewport on which the document will be displayed. The document viewing engine computes a final layout for the document based on determining a plurality of horizontal pixel lines where page breaks can be placed without cutting off any element in the document and assigns page breaks to one or more of the plurality of horizontal pixel lines based on a height of the viewport. The document viewing engine identifies, for a current page, one or more visual elements that will not be fully within the viewport if painted. The document viewing engine paints the current page without painting the identified one or more visual elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2010Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher A. White, Fei Wang, Joseph A. Zuromski
