    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for customizing a profile page. A first user profile and a second user profile are accessed by a computing device. First and second pluralities of content items associated with the first and second user are identified. Based on the first and second user profiles, first and second subsets of content items of the first and second plurality of content items are selected. For each content item of the first subset of content items, an image associated with the content item is identified. For each content item of the second subset of content items, an image associated with the content item is identified. Based on the identified images, first and second image collages are generated for the first and second user profiles. The first and second image collages and first and second indicators corresponding to the first and second user profiles are generated for display.

  • Patent number: 11803516
    Abstract: A client computer includes a synchronization manager. The synchronization manager communicates with a remote content management system to determine a set of objects in a content navigation hierarchy. The synchronization manager provides a user interface with controls to allow a user to independently select multiple objects in the content navigation hierarchy for synchronization and receives an input, via the interface, that selects objects from the set of objects for synchronization. The synchronization manager stores local peers of the selected objects in a local cache in a local file system. The synchronization manager synchronizes changes to the selected objects at the content management system to the local peers in the file system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing screen highlights and voice-over are disclosed. A system obtains a text container queued to be audibly read by a screen reader where the text container includes plain text and hyperlinks. The system determines each accessibility element in the text container, where each of the accessibility elements has one or more old accessibility frames associated with a screen highlight of a plain text or a hyperlink of the accessibility element, and where the screen highlight indicates what is being audibly read by the screen reader. For each of the accessibility elements, the system: determines one or more frames that captures the plain text or the hyperlink of the accessibility element to an exclusion of a plain text or a hyperlink corresponding to another accessibility element; converts the frames into a new accessibility frame; and replaces the old accessibility frame with the new accessibility frame.

  • Patent number: 11792246
    Abstract: Live performances are coordinated at venues using a host (server) and client (user devices). Scripts for live performances are stored at the host. Each script has roles for playing by users (actors) and has teleprompter text for delivery at a sequence in the live performances. Media elements are associated at the host in the sequence of the teleprompter text for output in the live performances. Once a lobby is created for a live performance at a venue, clients are associated at the host with the roles for the script. The host delivers the teleprompter text for output in real time at the sequence during the live performance with the clients at the venue, and the host delivers the associated media elements for output in the sequence during the live performance at the venue. Each venue can have an associated configuration for media output so the host can deliver the media elements according to the configuration.

  • Patent number: 11763065
    Abstract: This disclosure involves selecting and applying font features to improve the layout of text. For example, a computing system receives initial text. The computing system calculates an improvement metric representing a layout improvement of a font feature applied to the initial text. The font feature includes replacing a first glyph with a second glyph. The font feature, when applied to the initial text, may result in a layout improvement, which can be quantified using the improvement metric. Based on the calculated improvement metric, the computing system applies the font feature to the initial text to generate updated text. The computing system generates, for display on a display device, the updated text.
