摘要:
A printing system and method of printing are provided herein. The printing system may generate custom user designs for printing. The designs may be associated with a selected print medium. The print medium may have a particular layout. The printing system may convert the design for printing on other print media without requiring user alteration or input of the design. In another aspect, the printing system may facilitate printing the designs via local printers and/or via professional printers. Accordingly, printing of designs on different print-receptive media items can be accomplished.

A technique is provided in which, in a foreign language document in which a space character is provided for separation of words forming a document, it is possible to reliably detect each word separation and reliably reinsert a space character in the separation. It is decided whether adjacent characters are included in the same word (i.e., presence or absence of space) using: decision by an English writing rule, decision by information as to whether there is a space character in source document data; decision by the identification of character string objects including adjacent characters; and decision by a gap between the character string objects including the adjacent characters. It should be noted that it is preferable to make a decision by these processing in order of this description.

A method is provided for displaying electronic text and synchronizing the playback of a soundtrack for the electronic text. The soundtrack contains multiple audio regions configured for playback during corresponding text regions of the electronic text. Playback of the audio regions of the soundtrack over an audio output system is based on a reading position counter indicative of the user's estimate reading position, and which increments based on a user reading speed variable. The user reading speed variable is updated by processing eye tracking signals from an eye tracker to determine the user's reading scan rate.

In a document processing apparatus (1), an OCR unit (13) extracts character information from document image data scanned by a document scanner (12), a title generator (14) extracts a predefined number of strings that indicate the characteristic of the document image data as a title string from the character information extracted by the OCR unit (13), and a document name generator (15) generates a string suitable for a predefined output condition as the document name from the title strings extracted by the title generator (14).
摘要:
Method of processing at least one digital graphical document represented in a predetermined markup language in which at least one software display program of browser type is used for displaying such a document, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: i) transforming the original document (ISVGI) displayed in read mode into an editable version in the markup language according to a set of predefined transformation rules not linked to the document, said transformation rules incorporating a set of rules for writing to the document; ii) interacting via the software display program with the said editable version (ISVG2) in order to modify said editable version according to said set of writing rules; and iii) transforming the editable version thus modified into a version in read mode (ISVG3) incorporating the modifications made during step ii).
摘要:
A profile information parsing unit receives profile information which includes property information indicating the properties of a manipulation device, and user information associated with a user who manipulates the manipulation device. A source document selection unit selects a source document from a source document holding unit in accordance with the received profile information. A stylesheet generation unit generates transformation description components from a stylesheet holding unit in accordance with the profile information, and generates a transformation description by integrating the selected transformation description components. A transformation unit transforms the selected source document using the generated transformation description, thus generating contents of a user interface that implements manipulations of the device to be manipulated by the manipulation device. The contents of the user interface are transmitted to the manipulation device.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing free-format data (301) to produce a "text object" associated with the free-format data. The text object comprises a plurality of "component nodes" (302-312) containing attribute-type identifiers for elements of the free-format text and other data facilitating access to the text object to obtain information and/or change or add the free-format data. This arrangement obviates the need for the provision of separate database fields for each element of the information. Free-format data can therefore be processed in a similar manner to the way a human being processes free-format data. All elements can be accessed via the constructed text object.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention allow a user to submit an ambiguous search query and to receive relevant search results. Queries can be expressed using character sets and/or languages that are different from the character set and/or language of at least some of the data that is to be searched. A translation between these character sets and/or languages can be performed by examining the use of terms in aligned text. Probabilities can be associated with each possible translation. Refinements can be made to these probabilities by examining user interactions with the search results.
摘要:
A presentation generator may access one or more data sources structured into data fields. The user may create or modify a template by inserting one or more tags corresponding to data fields in the template. The template may also have one or more processing instructions for indicating the data sources and how the data sources should be queried. The processing instructions may also indicate how the data is to be grouped across various slides, pages, sections, etc. The generator may build the presentation based on the template, its tags, and its processing instructions. The resulting presentation may be accessed by a user-friendly application, such as a word processor, slide program, spreadsheet, report viewer, or other application. The user may update part or all of the presentation using information on the queries and data sources embedded in the presentation itself.
