Patent number: 8732568Abstract: A method for managing a multi-stage workflow may include: 1) displaying representations of the plurality of stages of the multi-stage workflow to the user via a graphical user interface, each representation of a workflow stage from the plurality of stages indicating a completion status of the workflow stage; 2) receiving, at a first stage in the multi-stage workflow, input from the user; 3) determining that the input from the user at the first stage affects a second stage in the multi-stage workflow; 4) in response to determining that the input from the user affects the second stage, changing a completion status of the second stage to an updated completion status; and 5) in response to changing the completion status of the second stage, modifying a representation of the second stage such that the representation of the second stage indicates to the user the updated completing status of the second stage.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Symantec CorporationInventor: Sinoj Mullangath

Patent number: 8732575Abstract: A word processing system includes an undo function monitor that monitors the history of a user's use of the undo operation. Depending upon the pattern detected, the system disables the particular auto-formatting feature that triggered the undesired automatic operation. In an illustrative embodiment, the system tracks whether a number of undo operations exceeds a programmable threshold. In one illustrative implementation, the system also tracks the number of times a user has undone, i.e., reversed, an automatic formatting operation compared with the number of instances where the user has permitted the subject automatic formatting operation to take place.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Inventor: Mark E. Nusbaum

Patent number: 8732574Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for generating a new workflow for an application. The method includes generating a parameter tree related to a current workflow, wherein the parameter tree includes a different node corresponding to each parameter included in one or more documents associated with the current workflow, modifying a value associated with a first node included in the parameter tree based on an input, wherein the first node corresponds to a first parameter included in a first document associated with the current workflow, evaluating a second document associated with the current workflow based on the modified value associated with the first node, and generating the new workflow based on the evaluated second document.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Palantir Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Brandon Lawrence Burr, Akshay Pundle, Kevin D. Simler, Nicholas Niki Frank Miyake

Publication number: 20140136964Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing color on at least two devices. A Color Synchronizer color standard is established for applying to display devices, where the color standard causes the actual colors of items in images to be displayed on the display device. The color standard is loaded onto a client computing device for applying to a display. The color standard is used to calibrate the display device. Images in a Web page are prepared based on the color standard for sending to the client computer display. Images of the items are captured by a camera calibrated to the color standard. An identifying code, such as a QR code, is embedded into the Web page. An identifier read from the QR code is used to verify that the Web page is certified. If certified, apply the color standard to the calibrated client display to adjust the colors on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2012Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: PORTRAIT DISPLAYS, INC.Inventor: J.

Patent number: 8726152Abstract: Automatic detection and implementation of modifications to an application are described. A new base model of the application is generated using the edited version of the application. This base model is simulated to a selected state, resulting in a new presentation model that includes a tree of multiple objects described by the new base model at the selected state, and a pointer for each node of the tree that points back to the associated node in the new base model. The pointers of each node of the new presentation model are compared to the nodes of the previous presentation model of the application and then replaced with those corresponding nodes in the previous presentation model when the nodes are equivalent. Otherwise, the nodes of the new presentation model are maintained.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Narciso B. Jaramillo, Mark Shepherd

Patent number: 8719702Abstract: A digital processing device is configured to perform a method comprising: identifying logical page numbers of a document, the identifying constrained to identify either zero or one logical page number per page of the document, the logical page numbers and an ordering of the pages of the document defining an ordered sequence of logical page numbers; identifying a sequence of logical page number references in the document, each logical page number reference matching one of the logical page numbers of the document; and selecting a sub-sequence of the sequence of logical page number references for which corresponding logical page numbers are in a nondecreasing order in the ordered sequence of logical page numbers. The sub-sequence is used in organizing the document, for example by generating hyperlinks linking the logical page number references of the selected sub-sequence with corresponding pages indicated by the logical page numbers.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2010Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Jean-Luc Meunier

Patent number: 8719703Abstract: By analyzing a web page, the web page can be divided into component parts. Specifically, the web page can be divided into items, templates and the remaining HTML. Then, using dedicated user interfaces, each component part can be separately edited. To facilitate editing, the component parts not being edited can optionally be suppressed or presented in abbreviated form, and all parts can optionally be shown in the same order in which they occur in the web page. The live version of the web page is then updated with the edited version of the component parts, taking into consideration any contributions from other users made during the editing process.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2000Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Eric Allan Bier
