This enables the person reading a document published using the formatting technique of the present invention to read in a zigzag fashion in a pragmatic way. Every first line of a paragraph is rendered in a traditionally published format (read from left to right). Therefore, every odd numbered line in a paragraph is always rendered from left to right and every even numbered line is always rendered backwards (read from right to left). | 09-22-2011 |

According to one embodiment, a plurality of fields is identified in an input document that has a given format. Each field includes a descriptor and text content associated with the descriptor. For each field, semantic properties are evaluated for the descriptor and text content against a plurality of mapping rules to determine whether the field is consistent with one of a plurality of fields of a target format. Each mapping rule specifies characteristics associated with one of the fields in the target format. Once so determined, a mapping from the first field to the second field is defined. | 04-28-2016 |
| 20160117299 | DEVICE, METHOD, AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR VISIBLE AND INTERACTIVE CORRECTED CONTENT - An entered character string, which is part of a draft electronic message, is received. The draft electronic message is modified by replacing the entered character string with a replacement character string. The modified electronic message is sent, and a transcript comprising the modified electronic message is displayed. The replacement character string is visually distinguished within the transcript from one or more other character strings in the transcript. | 04-28-2016 |
| 20160117300 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A system includes circuitry configured to: input first operation information to perform first operation to an object data at first terminal, the object data being operable by second terminal; acquire second operation information to perform second operation to the object data at the second terminal; determine whether second display data of the second operation is to be displayed, based on the first operation information and the second operation information when the first operation and the second operation do not conflict; and output to a display interface the second display data of the second operation along with first display data of the first operation when the second display data is determined to be displayed. | 04-28-2016 |
| 20160132473 | TransDocument Views and Environment - This invention provides means to easily create, edit, and display documents that have very sophisticated capabilities. Every element, including for example, every pixel of every letter can edited by the most powerful and appropriate editor and can point to more information regarding that element. For example, spreadsheets in text documents have the full editing power of a native spreadsheet and text in spreadsheets to have the full editing power of word processing software and images in either to have access to the full image editing power of the best image editing software. Every element of a document such as text, numbers, images; video, etc. can invoke one or more form of Expanded Information, such as—a View, a Report, a document, website, etc. Expand Information includes educational materials on selected elements. The educational module also provides means to record, analyze and distribute the educational experiences of the user. | 05-12-2016 |
| 20160147724 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING TRANSLATIONS EDITOR - An apparatus for providing a translations editor on at least one user terminal. The apparatus includes a content data display unit for displaying text data and image data, which are extracted from content data, together; and a text data editor unit including a first-language text display unit for displaying a first-language text included in the text data, and a second-language text display unit in which a translation of the first-language text is input as a second-language text by a user of the user terminal. | 05-26-2016 |

| 20160378738 | EDITING ONE OR MORE TEXT FILES FROM AN EDITING SESSION FOR AN ASSOCIATED TEXT FILE - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system edits text from a file inline with text from another file. The system displays text comprising content of a text file in a user interface of an editor. In response to selection of a first item from the displayed text and activation of a control of the editor, the system accesses text associated with the selected item from a second text file. The system inserts the text associated with the selected item into the displayed text proximate the selected item and visually distinguishes the inserted text from the content of the first file. Changes to the inserted text are made in the editor. In response to activation of another control of the editor, the system modifies the second file in accordance with the changes. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for editing text files in substantially the same manners described above. | 12-29-2016 |

| 20220138405 | DICTIONARY EDITING APPARATUS AND DICTIONARY EDITING METHOD - According to one embodiment, a dictionary editing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to extract words from text data, append character pronunciations to the extracted words, and specify, when a modification is made to word information including the extracted words and the appended character pronunciations, a modification candidate that is a word or character pronunciation to be modified in relation to the modification. | 05-05-2022 |
| 20220138421 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - An information processing system includes a processor configured to: extract first characteristic values indicating frequencies of appearance of words in a target document to be processed among plural documents managed based on a hierarchical relationship; extract second characteristic values of the words that are correlated to reciprocals of ratios of the number of documents including the words to a total number of documents in a group of documents in a first group including the target document; and assign words selected from among the words based on the first characteristic values and the second characteristic values to the target document as first attributes. | 05-05-2022 |
