  • Patent number: 10204088
    Abstract: Systems and methods for re-using content in a content management system. The content management system may have two or more repositories. A link document may be generated in a link repository for a source document in a source repository. The link document may be a copy of the source document, and synchronized to the source document in a number of different ways, dynamically or statically. When the source document is updated, the source repository may notify the link repository about the change, receive a pull request from the link repository for the change, and generate an updated link document.

  • Patent number: 10204083
    Abstract: A computer system for processing bidirectional characters includes a processor and memory. An application stored in the memory includes instructions that are executable by the processor and memory and that are configured to determine an embedding direction and at least one of output, export or display data including characters using bidirectional code. While at least one of outputting, exporting or displaying the data, the instructions are configured to parse a multi-segment data value including a plurality of segments and a delimiter arranged between adjacent ones of the plurality of segments. The delimiter includes two or more neutral type characters that are arranged immediately adjacent to one another. The delimiter causes the bidirectional code to apply the embedding direction to the delimiters of the multi-segment data value to maintain relative ordering of adjacent ones of the segments in the multi-segment data value.

  • Patent number: 10129298
    Abstract: The threat of malicious parties exposing users' credentials from one system and applying the exposed credentials to a different system to gain unauthorized access is addressed in the present disclosure by systems and methods to preemptively and reactively mitigate the risk of users reusing passwords between systems. A security device passively monitors traffic comprising authorization requests within a network to reactively identify an ongoing attack based on its use of exposed credentials in the authorization request and identifies accounts that are vulnerable to attacks using exposed credentials by actively attempting to log into those accounts with exposed passwords from other networks. The systems and methods reduce the number of false positives associated with attack identification and strengthens the network against potential attacks, thus improving the network's security and reducing the amount of resources needed to securely manage the network.

  • Patent number: 9984047
    Abstract: When an interaction barrier exists between an application A and an application B, if a jump link corresponding to the application B exists in a page of the application A, selection and replication operations are performed in the page of the application A, such that the content containing the above jump link is replicated into a clipboard of the system. Further when the user starts the application B, operations are executed to perform extraction and analysis on clipboard content to obtain the jump link, and generate a corresponding access trigger control. The access trigger control serves as a quick access portal, and it is only necessary for a user to click the access trigger control to implement jumping from a display page to a target page in the application B. Thus, the access efficiency is ensured, and the user is guaranteed to experience the relevant functions of the target page.

  • Patent number: 9985910
    Abstract: A method for communication includes receiving and forwarding packets in multiple flows to respective egress interfaces of a switching element for transmission to a network. For each of one or more of the egress interfaces, in each of a succession of arbitration cycles, a respective number of the packets in each of the plurality of the flows that are queued for transmission through the egress interface is assessed, and the flows for which the respective number is zero are assigned to a first group, while the flows for which the respective number is non-zero are assigned to a second group. The received packets that have been forwarded to the egress interface and belong to the flows in the first group are transmitted with a higher priority than the flows in the second group.

  • Patent number: 9985918
    Abstract: For preventing messages from being sent to an unintended recipient, an apparatus for indicating a message recipient is disclosed. The apparatus may include a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor, including code that identifies an active messaging interface from among a plurality of messaging interfaces, identifies a correspondent associated with the active messaging interface, and temporarily provides a message recipient cue based on the identified correspondent in response to a user writing to the active messaging interface. The apparatus may remove the message recipient cue in response to expiration of a predetermined interval. The apparatus may further retrieve the visual indicator from a local database, a server, and/or the identified recipient. Additionally, the apparatus may identify the active messaging interface based on a viewing location and/or on a cursor location. A method and computer program product also perform the functions of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9959381
    Abstract: Embodiments relate an emulation environment that places debugging logic in a manner that connections between the debugging logic and logic components outputs can be efficiently routed. In one embodiment, the host system places the debugging logic after placing the logic components of the DUT, but before routing the logic components. In another embodiment, the host system places debugging logic after placing and routing logic components of the DUT. In another embodiment, for one or more emulator FPGAs, the host system places debugging logic units of the debugging logic evenly across the FPGA before placing logic components of the DUT.

  • Patent number: 9952764
    Abstract: A method and apparatus, such as an electronic device (104), for displaying suggestion words in response to a touch input to a presence-sensitive display (106). The presence-sensitive display (106) displays a touchscreen keyboard (110) having a plurality of key areas (112) each associated with a character (114). The method and apparatus may determine (308) the character (114) of the touchscreen keyboard based on a touch location of the touch input on a key area (112) of the touchscreen keyboard (110), and may display (310) a plurality of suggestion words that include the determined character over at least a portion of the touchscreen keyboard during the touch input. When the touch input has ended, the method and apparatus may stop displaying the plurality of suggestion words. The method and apparatus may also display a plurality of suggestion words in a text view area separate from the touchscreen keyboard.

  • Patent number: 9948749
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, an application launcher of a media player device launches an application bundle, the application bundle including a binary code. In response, a first server is accessed based on a universal resource locator (URL) specified by the application bundle to download an executable script. The executable script is parsed to configure a script runtime environment based on a predetermined template associated with the executable script. A first application programming interface (API) and a second API are enabled, where the first API is used to access a predetermined library maintained by the media player device and the second API is used to communicate with the binary code. The executable script is executed within the script runtime environment to render content, including rendering standard content by invoking the predetermined library via the first API and rendering customized content by invoking the binary code via the second API.
