Publication number: 20100017435Abstract: A document management apparatus performs a first process to delete an object that is not to be presented to a user from document information registered in a database. The document management apparatus then performs a second process to determine whether a vacant block created as a result of the deleting of the object can be filled with another object. If it is determined by a CPU of the document management apparatus that a proper object to be put in the vacant block is not found, a third process is performed to adjust a layout associated with the vacant block. The document management apparatus then performs a forth process to provide a preview of a document with an adjusted layout thereby allowing a user to confirm the adjustment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2009Publication date: January 21, 2010Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Makoto Anno

Patent number: 7571382Abstract: In a method and a system for retrieving images in a client-server system, images are stored as a set of independently decodable units (CU's) on the server. A client issues a series of requests for image information. Each request contain a request number, information on what image information the client wants to see next and information on what image information the client had received at the time when the request was issued. The server does not have to store any state information (e.g. previous requests). On receiving a request, the server sends a restart marker, a confirmation of the request number and incremental image information corresponding to the request. The use of the method and the system as described herein will result in that no decoding of the whole bit stream will be required in the server. This will save a lot of time at the sender side (server side), since it not needs to a full decoding of the stream.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1999Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM EricssonInventors: Mathias Larsson, Charilaos Christopoulos, Magnus Jändel, Diego Santa Cruz, Touradj Ebrahmi

Patent number: 7484170Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for providing importation of a source text file into a spreadsheet file. A file format profile manager dynamically links a file format profile to the source text file, such that the formatting process performed after the importation operation is dynamically tailored to the source text file. A file format profile editor allows a user to formally describe the formatting actions to be performed for a given file format profile. A spreadsheet file user profile maintains location links between the imported source text files and their location within the spreadsheet file.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2003Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jean-Luc Collet, Jean-Christophe Mestres, Carole Truntschka

Patent number: 7480665Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for creating document schema. The disclosed systems and methods may include receiving schema corresponding to meta-data associated with a document, storing the schema in the document, and storing the meta-data in the document. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include storing the schema at a first location. The schema stored at the first location may be changeable independent of the schema stored in the document. In addition, the disclosed systems and methods may include creating a first hash of the schema stored in the document and storing the first hash in the document. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods may include determining that the schema stored at the first location has changed if a second hash of the schema stored at the first location is different from the first hash of the schema stored in the document.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2005Date of Patent: January 20, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raj Merchant, Brandon V.

Patent number: 7461339Abstract: A software module at an e-mail gateway server scans incoming e-mail messages suspected of being phishing messages and inserts a script program into the head or body of the message in HTML form. The message is converted into an HTML document if necessary. The script program is written in a language such as VBScript, JScript, ECMAScript or JavaScript and can be run in a browser. The modified message is delivered to the recipient. When the e-mail client software on the user's desktop encounters the HTML content a browser starts up and the script program is executed by the browser. The script program can then take any action necessary to counter any hostile content of the message such as providing a warning message, comparing hyperlinks, intercepting a redirect request, warning about suspect attachments, etc.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2004Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Trend Micro, Inc.Inventors: Jerry Chinghsien Liao, En-Yi Liao
