20130268844 | RICH CONTENT IN A BROWSER-BASED WORD PROCESSOR - A tangible computer-readable storage medium having encoded on it data that represents a model of a document, the document model including a one-dimensional character string that includes characters of the document in an order in which they appear in the document; a map of styles that includes markers that correspond to changes in styles in the document, and pointers to the character string, wherein the pointers define locations along the character string at which the changes in styles are to occur and define style runs between matched markers; and one or more external references to objects outside the document model, the external references including identifiers for the objects and pointers to the character string indicating where in the character string the object will appear. | 10-10-2013 |
20130282752 | Application-Specific File Type Generation and Use - Techniques are described for facilitating file access control of a storage service. In response to a third-party application requesting access to a user's file, the service extracts an application-specific ID from a file type associated with the retrieved file; and grants access to the requested file in response to a determination that an application-specific ID for the third-party application matches an application-specific ID extracted from the file. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 10-24-2013 |
20140280596 | REAL-TIME COLLABORATION FOR BINARY DATA FILES - A document collaboration system allows applications to collaborate on a binary data file even if the binary data file is not in a collaborative document format. In response to a request from an application to access a binary data file, the document collaboration system gives the application access to a document model corresponding to the binary data file and the application. If the document model does not already exist, it may be created by generating an empty document model, transmitting the binary data file to the application, and allowing the application to fill in the empty document model based on the binary data file. The document model may be provided to and modified by its related application through an application programming interface (API), and changes to the document model may be applied to the binary data file. | 09-18-2014 |
20150193406 | System and Method to Provide Collaborative Document Processing Services Via Interframe Communication - A document is displayed within a first frame embedded within a second frame on a first device, wherein the second frame is in communication with a server. A first change to the document is received from a user of the first device, and the first change is transmitted to the server by interframe communication. A plurality of transformed changes to the document, including a transformed version of the first change and a version of a second change made by a user of a second device are received by interframe communication. The first frame may be an IFrame, for example. | 07-09-2015 |
20150195311 | Systems and Methods for Providing Access to a Document Associated with a Third Party Software Application Via Interframe Communication - A plurality of inputs associated with a third party software application are received from a plurality of users associated with respective devices, via respective embedded frames displayed on the respective devices. A plurality of visual representations of a document displayed on the respective devices are updated to reflect a plurality of inputs, substantially in real-time. The plurality of inputs may be received substantially simultaneously. | 07-09-2015 |

20110252303 | Rich Content in a Browser-Based Work Processor - A tangible computer-readable storage medium having encoded on it data that represents a model of a document, the document model including a one-dimensional character string that includes characters of the document in an order in which they appear in the document; a map of styles that includes markers that correspond to changes in styles in the document, and pointers to the character string, wherein the pointers define locations along the character string at which the changes in styles are to occur and define style runs between matched markers; and one or more external references to objects outside the document model, the external references including identifiers for the objects and pointers to the character string indicating where in the character string the object will appear. | 10-13-2011 |
20110252312 | Real-Time Collaboration in a Hosted Word Processor - A computer-implemented method for coordinating documents between computer systems includes identifying, on a computing device, changes made by a user to a document having a model stored on the computing device, with corresponding models stored on a remote client and a server system; generating from the identified changes, one or more mutations that describe the changes and a one or more locations that correspond to positions in the model where the changes are to be provided; receiving one or more mutations from the server system and transforming the generated mutations using the received mutations; and updating the model stored on the computing device using the transformed mutations. | 10-13-2011 |
