An electronic file sharing system includes a data store, a processor, and memory. The memory is coupled to the processor and stores instructions that when executed by the processor, provide electronic file storage relative to the data store. The processor is configured to detect a first sharing operation from a first entity to share a selected electronic file with a second entity to allow the second entity to interact with the selected electronic file in a way set by the first entity. The processor is further configured to generate a first sharing link for the second entity to access the selected electronic file in the way set by the first entity. The processor is also configured to detect a second sharing operation from an entity other than the first entity to share the selected electronic file with a third entity in the way set by the first entity and to generate a second sharing link for the third entity to access the selected electronic file in the way set by the first entity. The first sharing link is different than the second sharing link.

A solution for managing branding for an entity is provided. The solution can generate a brand style guide by analyzing electronic entity identity resources, which are representative of one or more branding strategies for the entity. The analysis can include extracting entity brand attributes from each electronic entity identity resource. Illustrative entity brand attributes can include one or more of: image data, font data, color data, or text. An ad hoc style guide, which can include at least one branding strategy for the entity can be generated and provided for presentation to a user.

Encoding Chinese in one(linear code)-to-one(character or word) correspondence systematically has been a century old challenge. Based on the official standards for Pinyin and writing order of characters, that all Chinese users are familiar with, this invention comprises: (1) encoding all characters and words of a predetermined set or dictionary into distinct codes in electronic system like computer; (2) retrieving character or word by decoding user's keyboard input, and then entering the corresponding character or word into the system. Denoted inside [ ], the proposed Pinyin+X coding format is [Pinyin+X]=[Pinyin]+[3-Stroke]+[Extra], where [3-Stroke] consists of three consonant letters coding for the first, second, and last stroke of the writing form of character or word, and [Extra] is system-generated consonant letter(s) to ensure the uniqueness of the entire [Pinyin+X] code. Pinyin+X keyboard entry process for Chinese can therefore be designed to be direct that every keystroke counts and none is extra.

A web content enrichment system can match an image to text of web content. When the text of web content includes a snippet, the image matched to the text enriches the snippet to enhance results of a search engine. When the text of web content includes text contained in a webpage, the image matched to this text enriches the webpage to enhance user perception and understanding of the webpage. The process of matching images to text involves extracting features of a plurality of images and features of a plurality of text documents, calculating scores of the images based on the extracted features, and selecting one image per text document based on the scores using a machine-learning algorithm. The result of the matching can be provided to a web content module for storing, incorporating into the result lists of the search engine, or delivery to a user.

A method for propagating changes from master content to variant content includes receiving, from a user interface, a modified master text composition that incorporates changes to a master text composition. Each of the master text composition, the modified master text composition, and a variant text composition assigned to the master text composition are divided into text units. A correspondence model is constructed that includes mappings between the text units of the master text composition, the text units of the modified master text composition, and the text units of the variant text composition. Proposed changes to the variant text composition are determined that correspond to the changes to the master text composition based on the mappings. At least one of the proposed changes is integrated into the variant text composition.

A system and method that converts the digital typesetting documents used in publishing to a device-specific format for electronic publishing. A “smart file and device-specific application” approach maintains the “look and feel” (design) of the source document used for print publication while typesetting for a specific device. Although this approach requires considerably more resources to create a smart file for each device-specific format, the smart file retains the unique typesetting characteristics of the printed book, is more aesthetically pleasing, and is easier to read. Furthermore, the device-specific application can render the smart file more quickly thereby eliminating any latency.

A method of naming documents according to a document naming convention (DNC) includes receiving, from any of a plurality of data processing applications (DPAs) within an enterprise, a request for a document name and generating a document name “infix” portion in compliance with the DNC for inclusion in the document name. The prefix may be descriptive of a characteristic of the document and the suffix may indicate a document type, a document format, or both. The infix may include a fixed portion and a modifiable portion. The fixed portion may include a datestamp and a document unification identifier. The infix may include a variable portion that can be modified by a DPA that creates a new or modified document, but the name of the modified document maintains the fixed portion of the original document.

A method, computer readable medium and device that extends a document transformation server to process multiple documents from multiple websites includes obtaining with a document transformation server a document to process based on at least a URL of the document to process in an HTTP request URL. An XML source representing the document to process is generated with the document transformation server. One or more XML processors associated with at least a portion of the HTTP request URL from a plurality of stored associations are identified with the document transformation server. The XML source is transformed by the document transformation server with each of the identified one identified XML processors. The generated document is provided in an HTTP response to the HTTP request URL by the document transformation server.

Methods, and systems, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable storage mediums, including a method for obtaining information about advertisement slots on resources (e.g., web pages). The method includes receiving a request to provide content for display in an ad slot of a web page presented on a user device; determining that parameter data specifying a parameter of the ad slot is not included in the request, the parameter being an indicator of a relative position of the ad slot on the web page; in response to determining that the parameter data is not included in the request, providing content to display in the ad slot to fulfill the request, the content including a tag configured to determine the parameter of the ad slot; receiving the parameter of the ad slot determined by the tag; and storing the parameter of the ad slot in a database.

The present disclosure discloses methods and devices for terminal control. The method comprises: sending a request from a first terminal to a server to obtain information about a multimedia application currently running on a second terminal, the information comprising application identification and one or more playback attributes of the multimedia application; displaying on the first terminal the information about the multimedia application currently running on the second terminal; generating by the first terminal one or more new playback attributes of the currently running multimedia application, and sending from the first terminal to the second terminal via the server a synchronization control request comprising the one or more new playback attributes, thereby allowing the second terminal to control the multimedia playback of the multimedia application based on the one or more new playback attributes in the synchronization control request. The present disclosure can allow one to use one terminal in the Internet to control the multimedia playback on another terminal. This can accomplish the combination of hardware advantages of both terminals and can increase the efficiency of playback control.
