| 20140108922 | CONTENT LAYOUT DETERMINATION - A method for determining the placement of content on a page is provided. The method initiates with receiving a content feed, the content feed including one or more content data items. One or more content viewer modules are selected for inclusion in the page, each content viewer module configured to present a content data item on the page. One or more page layouts are determined, each page layout defining one or more placement slots for placement of the content viewer modules. The selected content viewer modules are fitted to the page layouts to identify a valid page layout which can simultaneously accommodate each of the content viewer modules. The valid page layout is populated by assigning the content viewer modules to the placement slots of the valid page layout and applying the assigned content viewer modules to one or more of the content data items of the content feed. | 04-17-2014 |
| 20140143659 | Method for Processing Documents by Terminal Having Touch Screen and Terminal Having Touch Screen - A method for processing a document by a terminal with a touch screen and a terminal with a touch screen are provided, wherein, the method includes: the terminal storing a control region corresponding to a document operation and an operation mode for the control region; the terminal monitoring the control region, and when it is determined that the monitored operation mode for the control region is coincident with the operation mode for the control region stored by the terminal, operating the document according to the document operation corresponding to the control region. The above method for processing a document by a terminal with a touch screen and a terminal with a touch screen enable the user to set up the operation region on different positions of the touch screen flexibly, thus largely improving the reading experience of the user. | 05-22-2014 |
| 20150033118 | TRANSFERRING COMPONENT HIERARCHIES BETWEEN APPLICATIONS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for reusing components from an application are provided. In some implementations, a method includes associating a parent and child component in a source application. The components are used in the presentation of document data during navigation among documents. A navigation interface in an application window of the source application is presented, including presenting document data according to the parent and child components. Input adding the parent component from the source application window to an application window of a target application is received. It is determined that the output of the child component is connected with the input of the parent component, and then computer readable instructions associated with the parent component and the child component are inserted into the target application. A navigation interface is presented in the target application window, including presenting document data according to the parent and child components. | 01-29-2015 |
| 20150040002 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAPTURING AND PROCESSING CONTENT FROM CONTEXT SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS ON A MOBILE DEVICE - A mobile device captures information from a document. The mobile device selects a template stored in a memory of the mobile device. The selected template describes data content of at least one document. The mobile device then captures an image of a document, determines that the image corresponds to one document described by the selected template by verifying that at least one first region in the image corresponds to a region of the document described by the selected template, identifies at least one region in the image that corresponds with a region in the document described by the selected template, and processes information in the identified region in the image. The mobile device then aggregates application specific information from the processed information and presents the aggregated application specific information to a user program operating on the mobile device. | 02-05-2015 |
| 20150040003 | Non-Transitory Computer-Readable Medium, Communication Device, and Communication Method - A first receiving operation receives specific position information from a first communication. A first determination operation determines whether block position information corresponding to the specific position indicated by the received specific position information is included in first block information stored in a storage device. A setting operation sets a magnification factor of a target block image in response to a case in which it is determined that the block position information corresponding to the specific position is included in the first block information. A processing operation processes the target block image based on the set magnification factor. A display operation displays the processed target block image on the display. | 02-05-2015 |
| 20150135062 | DISPLAYING A FOLDING DOCUMENT - A technique for displaying a folding document can include connecting an edge of a first panel to an edge of a second panel to create a shared edge representing a fold of a folding document. The first panel and second panel can form a first area of the folding document, and the first area and a second area of the folding document can be displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). | 05-14-2015 |
| 20150363367 | DISPLAY PROCESSING DEVICE, DISPLAY PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to an embodiment, a display processing device includes a reader and a display controller. The reader is configured to read content data that is to be displayed on a display. The display controller is configured to display, on the display, virtual content data in which one end of a display target area of the content data and the other end opposite to the one end of the display target area are connected, when a width of the display target area is larger than a width of the display. | 12-17-2015 |
| 20160041950 | Frame-Shaped Anchored Elements - Frame-shaped anchored elements are described. In one or more embodiments, anchored text elements are identified for primary text that is located in a non-rectangular frame (e.g., a circular frame, a rounded rectangle frame, and so on) and that references the anchored text elements. The anchored text elements may be footnotes or endnotes that are identified for primary text located in a non-rectangular text box, for example. Once identified, the anchored text elements may be fit within and at a bottom of the non-rectangular frame. The anchored text elements are considered to fit “within” the non-rectangular frame insofar as the anchored text elements do not extend outside the boundaries of the non-rectangular frame. | 02-11-2016 |
