For example, a user device may collect sensor data about the user, identify, based on the sensor data, at least one of a location or an activity associated with the user; and determine the amount of time available to the user based on the location or the activity. A request for the document is generated, and the request includes data identifying the amount of time available to the user. The document is generated based on the amount of time available to the user and is present for display to the user. The document may be generated to include text associated with the location or the activity. | 03-10-2016 |
20160098382 | CONVERSION TOOL FOR XPS AND OPENXPS DOCUMENTS - A conversion tool enables XPS documents to be automatically converted into the Open XPS format and for Open XPS-formatted documents to be automatically converted into the XPS format. The conversion tool may convert content types, package-level relationships, part-level attributes, and image parts into a format supported by either document format. | 04-07-2016 |
20160103807 | Flexible Analytics-Driven Webpage Design and Optimization - In an approach for selecting a version of a webpage to present to a user, a processor receives a request to access a webpage from a device, wherein the webpage includes a plurality of versions of the webpage. A processor receives information about the device. A processor determines a version of the webpage to present, based on the information about the device and a predefined goal associated with the webpage. A processor causes the version of the webpage to be presented. | 04-14-2016 |
20160117298 | 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. | 04-28-2016 |
20160124910 | DOCUMENT LAYOUT FOR ELECTRONIC DISPLAYS - A method of operating a device having a screen with a display size, including: obtaining an electronic document (ED) having a text flow, multiple graphics, and a page size; calculating, during a first layout of the ED, locations for the multiple graphics on a page having the page size specified in the ED; generating a scaled version of the page having the display size by scaling the graphics and the locations, where scaling the graphics results in scaled graphics and scaling the locations results in scaled locations; placing, during a second layout of the ED, the text flow on the scaled version of the page with the scaled graphics at the scaled locations; and displaying, by the device, the scaled version of the page with the text flow and the scaled graphics at the scaled locations on the screen. | 05-05-2016 |
20160132472 | PROCESS INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM - A system and a method for constantly improving process efficiency and consistency are disclosed herein. A preferred embodiment of the system comprises a database, a user interface, a change tracking module, and a feedback module. The database stores one or more electronic assets. The user interface allows a user to select an electronic asset as a template and automatically create a work product based on the template. The change tracking module monitors the use of the selected electronic asset with one or more describing properties such as the changes made to the working product and time used for finalizing the work product. Then, the feedback module may analyze the one or more describing properties and provide a feedback as to how to improve the selected electronic asset. | 05-12-2016 |
20160147721 | Concurrently Supporting Both Document-Based and Object-Based Undo Operations - During operation of a program, various different editing actions can be performed on data (e.g., image or video data) in a document. The data includes multiple objects, each of which is a user-selectable element of the data, such as a line, a shape, or a filter applied to the data. A record of actions taken on objects in the data is maintained, and the actions can be undone. A document-based undo operation can be performed, which undoes the last action performed in the document. An object-based undo can also be performed, which undoes the last action performed on a selected one or more objects in the document. A document-based redo operation can be performed, which redoes the last action undone in the document. An object-based redo can also be performed, which redoes the last action undone on a selected one or more objects in the document. | 05-26-2016 |

20160378718 | Electronic Discovery Insight Tool - A tool implemented in an apparatus is presented. The tool comprises one or more processors, one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause: obtaining report data generated for a user query; using a first color scheme, generating a visual representation of the report data; displaying the visual representation of the report data on a display of a user device; receiving, from a user, a user selection of a second color scheme; and using the second color scheme, automatically updating the visual representation of the report data, and displaying the updated visual representation of the report data on the display of the user device. | 12-29-2016 |
20160378724 | MULTIMODAL SHARING OF CONTENT BETWEEN DOCUMENTS - A facility for materializing a document is described. The facility identifies within the document a reference to a document fragment. The facility uses an identifier contained in the identified reference to retrieve document fragment contents stored separately from the document. The facility causes the retrieved document fragment contents to be displayed in context of the document. | 12-29-2016 |
20160378734 | VISUALIZING DOCUMENT REVISIONS - A facility for servicing a request for a document is described. The facility receives the request, which identifies the document and specifies a time for which the document is to be constituted. In response to receiving the request, the facility accesses information representing a number of editing actions performed on the identified document. The accessed information indicates, for each of the represented editing actions, a time at which the editing action was performed on the identified document. The facility responds to the request with a version of the identified document that reflects all of the represented editing actions whose indicated time is before the specified time, and that reflects none of the represented editing actions whose indicated time is after the specified time. | 12-29-2016 |
