Another method supports reading text segments across opposed pages without waiting for paging. Yet another method displays text to allow reading from bottom to top as though from front to back. Still another method displays words in colors reflecting the relationships between the words and the larger text segments of which they are apart. | 09-11-2008 |
20090089662 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A MULTI-ROW CAPABLE TABLE - The present invention is a system and method for showing as much horizontal data as possible without requiring horizontal scrolling while maintaining the attributes and benefits of a tabular display. This is achieved by dynamically splitting a row into two or more sub-rows when the row data would otherwise exceed the available horizontal space of the table control. This avoids the necessity to scroll, excessively compress the data or expand the table control. This is accomplished by the system having a tabular display unit for implementing the method comprising the steps of receiving a minimum size value of the tabular display; receiving a maximum size value of the tabular display; and dynamically splitting the horizontal data if the horizontal data exceeds the available horizontal space of the table control. | 04-02-2009 |
20090222722 | OPTIMAL SIZES OF OBJECTS IN A DOCUMENT - Architecture of one or more algorithms for autofitting objects with non-trivial geometries in documents. The algorithms autofit rectangular objects (such as floaters), when the objects contain both left and right aligned objects, autofit tables, determine correct sizes of a parent object and its child object when the width of the parent object is unknown (referred to as an auto-width), and the width of the parent's child object is expressed in percentages of the parent object width. A two-pass algorithm determines the best (or optimal) sizes of margins, borders, and paddings of objects where any combination thereof can have fixed width, auto width, and/or percentage-expressed width. Additionally, the algorithms can recursively calculate the optimal widths of objects inside other objects, where the outer object width is undefined. The algorithms can process an unlimited number of nesting levels. | 09-03-2009 |
20110161805 | INTERACTIVE MODIFICATION OF SPACING CONSTRAINTS OF GENEALOGICAL CHARTS WITH LIVE FEEDBACK - Methods, devices and systems are described for implementing interactive modification of spacing constraints of genealogical charts. The method includes displaying, on a display device of a computer system, a user interface for displaying one or more genealogical charts including one or more nodes. The user interface includes a horizontal slider and a vertical slider for manipulating the one or more geological charts' size. The one or more geological charts include page breaks representing a number of pages. The method further includes receiving, from an input device of the computer system, manipulation input for one or more of the vertical slider or the horizontal slider. Then, in response to receiving the manipulation input, providing real-time graphical feedback representing the manipulation in the display of the one or more genealogical charts. The real-time graphical feedback includes expanding and/or contracting the one or more genealogical charts such that the number of page for the one or more geological charts is automatically increased or decreased to accommodate the size of the one or more geological charts. | 06-30-2011 |
20130047078 | SYSTEM, PLUG-IN, AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING TEXT COMPOSITION BY MODIFYING CHARACTER PROMINENCE ACCORDING TO ASSIGNED CHARACTER INFORMATION MEASURES - A computer implemented system and method for composing a formatted text input to improve legibility, readability and/or print economy wide preserving the format of the text input and satisfying any user selected aesthetic constraints. An information measure (IM) is assigned to each character in a language unit. Multiple different IMs are assigned to each character and combined to form a combined IM (CIM) for each character indicating the predictability of that character to differentiate the language unit from other language units. The process is repeated for at least a plurality of language units and typically until all the text input has been analyzed and information measures assigned to all of the characters. | 02-21-2013 |
20130151953 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires region information, line information, and character information, a determination unit that determines whether or not a region is in left alignment, a first division unit that divides a region including a character indicated by character information into paragraph regions or itemized regions, an analysis unit that analyzes an indent of a line in a region determined as being in left alignment by the determination unit, a second division unit that divides the region determined as being in left alignment by the determination unit into paragraph regions or itemized regions, and an output unit that outputs the division result by the first division unit for the region determined as not being in left alignment by the determination unit, and the division result by the second division unit for the region determined as being in left alignment by the determination unit. | 06-13-2013 |
20160098379 | Preserving Conceptual Distance Within Unstructured Documents - A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for preserving conceptual distance within unstructured documents by characterizing conceptual relationships. Natural language processing is applied to content in a plurality of documents to identify topics and subjects. Analytic analysis is then applied to the identified topics and subjects to identify concepts. The content in each of the plurality of documents is partitioned into a first structured hierarchy, preserving at least one structure in each document inherent in the each document. Access is then provided to the content through a first index based upon utilizing the first structured hierarchy and through a second index utilizing a second structured hierarchy. The conceptual relationship criteria are based upon a directed graph with weights based upon a similarity and a distance based upon concepts. | 04-07-2016 |
