International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715205

Abstract:

A method, system and computer program product for ensuring a user interface specification accurately describes its corresponding user interface. The system links sections of the user interface code with corresponding user interface objects. Furthermore, the system links these sections of the user interface code with corresponding sections of the user interface specification. Upon detecting a modification to the user interface code which reflects an update to the user interface, the system notifies the user that the user interface specification needs to be updated. By linking the user interface objects to the user interface code and linking the user interface code to the corresponding sections of the user interface specification, appropriate modifications to the user interface specification can be recommended or implemented based on the modifications to the corresponding sections of the user interface code, which reflect the changes to the corresponding objects on the user interface.

Abstract:

An approach is described for generating a form response interface in an online application. An associated method may include identifying a content post in an online application interface and facilitating evaluation of the content post. Upon determining that the content post is form-addressable based on the evaluation, the method may include generating a form response interface element including multiple alternatives and updating the online application interface to display the form response interface element with the content post. In an embodiment, facilitating evaluation according to the method may include parsing language in the content post to determine the presence of a form-addressable interrogatory element. In a further embodiment, facilitating evaluation according to the method may include analyzing comments posted in response to the content post to determine the presence of form-addressable common language elements.

Abstract:

An approach is described for generating a form response interface in an online application. An associated system may include a processor and a memory storing an application program, which, when executed on the processor, performs an operation that may include identifying a content post in an online application interface and facilitating evaluation of the content post. Upon determining that the content post is form-addressable based on the evaluation, the operation may include generating a form response interface element including multiple alternatives and updating the online application interface to display the form response interface element with the content post. Facilitating evaluation according to the operation may include parsing language in the content post to determine the presence of a form-addressable interrogatory element. Facilitating evaluation according to the operation further may include analyzing comments posted in response to the content post to determine the presence of form-addressable common language elements.

US Classification:

707755

Abstract:

An electronic document is parsed against a plurality of phrases. Each of the plurality of phrases indicates a text effect. It is determined that the electronic document includes a phrase at least similar to a first phrase of the plurality of phrases. A first contributor of the electronic document that is associated with the phrase is determined. A first text effect indicated by the phrase is determined. A mapping is created between the first contributor and the first text effect indicated by the phrase. The mapping is supplied for presenting of the electronic document.
