US Classification:

707748, 707805, 707E17044

Abstract:

Data mapping alternatives for creating a visual representation of a set of data are presented. A set of data is identified for analysis. The identified set of data and properties associated with the identified set of data are analyzed. Based on the analysis, data mapping alternatives for the identified set of data are determined. The determined data mapping alternatives for the identified set of data are ranked. The determined data mapping alternatives are presented in an order according to the ranking of the determined data mapping alternatives.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0485
G06F 17/24
G06F 3/0482

Abstract:

Systems and methods for displaying annotations associated with an electronic document. One system includes an electronic computing device with an electronic processor configured to display a user interface on a display device. The user interface includes a canvas displaying a first subset of content included in the electronic document and a region scrollable independent from the canvas. The electronic processor is also configured to display a first plurality of annotations in the region. Each of the first plurality of annotations are associated with an anchor within the first subset of the content and displayed spaced within the region in at least one dimension based on spacing of the associated anchors. The electronic processor is further configured to change the region to display a second plurality of annotations in the region in response to changing the canvas to display a second subset of the content included in the electronic document.

International Classification:

G06F 17/24
G06F 3/0484
G06F 3/0485

Abstract:

Described herein is a system and method for displaying annotation(s) of an electronic document. User input to review (e.g., scroll) the electronic document is received, until a selected portion of the electronic document is displayed within a viewport pane of a display. In response to the review input, annotation(s) (e.g., comment(s), comment thread(s), annotation thread(s)) anchored within the selected portion of the electronic document displayed within the viewport pane are identified. Which annotation of the annotation(s) to visually distinguish for a focus of the user is determined. The identified annotation(s) are displayed in an annotation pane, with the determined annotation visually distinguished (highlighted) for the focus of the user. In some embodiments, the anchor associated with the determined annotation is also visually distinguished to provide a contextual link to the user and/or hint(s) that provided a visual signal of annotation(s) associated with an anchor on a particular line are displayed.

G06F 11/34

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for indicating a change to content in a document to a user. A document is displayed in a user interface to an application. Content then is introduced into the document from a source external to the document. After the content has been introduced into the document, the source of the content is queried for any changes to the content at the source. If a change has occurred, an indication of the change to the content at the source is introduced in the document.

Abstract:

Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe transformation of content of a digital document on behalf of a user of an application/service. Examples describes herein extend to instances where an existing digital document (e.g. content portion) is transformed as well as examples where templatized transformations are used to create a digital document. As an example, content of a digital document may be converted into preset document format representations which are generated and suggested automatically to the user through a user interface of a productivity service or through an alternative modality (e.g. message, email, notification, etc.). This improves processing efficiency of computing devices associated with productivity services, for example, by enabling efficient digital document management through proactive contextual analysis, reducing the number of processing operations for users in real-time and reducing latency at run-time, among other examples.
