摘要： A system and related techniques generate a unified representation of graphical representations, such as documents, graphic images or others, for displaying on a display screen, printing on a printer, faxing via a facsimile machine or outputting in other ways. In embodiments a media integration layer, which may reside in the operating system level, may generate renderings from graphics primitives, and send that rendering via a mediation engine to a device driver, for instance a print engine located in a printer. The device engine may return a preview of the output representation to the media integration layer for adjustments or to accept and print the output, all without a necessity for or reliance upon a device-specific driver in the operating system. Since both the display screen and the output device operate off of the same base representation, neither the display nor output device needs to attempt to emulate the output characteristics of the other, and screen-to-print uniformity may be enhanced.

摘要： A system and related techniques generate printing and other output operations via a resolution-independent visual tree object. According to embodiments the operating system or other resource may receive the visual tree object and related data from applications or other sources, and perform logic to scale or process the visual output for resolution, effects or other purposes directly from that object. The operating system or other resource itself may be configured to receive the componentized visual tree object and condition or render that object for output to a printer, facsimile machine, copy machine or other output device. The operating system may serialize or spool that object from the source object in native form, relieving applications of the need to prepare documents or other output objects to generate specified resolutions, effects or to adapt the output to specific output drivers.

摘要： A system and related techniques detect and manage the set of rights associated with a componentized electronic document, including to separately protect and manage individual text, graphic, audio, video or other parts of a multimedia presentation. Unlike prior digital asset management platforms which could enforce encryption or other protection simply around the entire object, the invention permits individualized control over separate media components, to permit distribution for example of some parts, such as text passages, while preventing unauthorized access or copying of audio, photographic, video or other files or content. The electronic document may maintain a list of media components and the set of rights associated with each such component, and a content server or other source may apply key encryption or other safeguards to guide the delivery of the overall media object or its parts, for instance to view in a browser, print on a printer or otherwise access, manipulate or output the content.

摘要： A system and related techniques automatically exercise the output capabilities of a printer or other output device, and return a log or record of those capabilities to the print manager of a host operating system or other destination. According to embodiments, the host, client or other machine may decide to query a printer, facsimile machine, copy or multifunction machine or other device to determine its range of output capabilities such as available fonts, graphical or rending routines, firmware compatibility or other functions or capabilities. The host may transmit a composite electronic document, containing various components including intermediate language objects which may be interpreted to execute various output processing, such as exercising a set of fonts, scaling, rotating, or other rendering or output functions. The results may be captured in the printer or other output device, for instance by dumping an output buffer or returning execution codes, and returned to the host machine where the available capabilities may be displayed, including in embodiments a rendering of the physical output or simulated physical output on the user interface. The invention offers enhanced profiling and verification for printers and other output systems, compared to manual test pages and other test procedures.

摘要： A method and system for automatically sizing and positioning a graphical display of HTML objects to fit the dimensions and video display resolution of a display window in a program such as a browser. A first facility translates slides in a slide show presentation program into a corresponding series of scalable Slide HTML pages. A scalable Slide HTML page has a SlideObj container that contains all of the objects in that page. Divisions in the scalable Slide HTML pages are created with nested DIV tags so that percentages related to default dimensions in the SlideObj container may be used to define the dimensions of a display space for a scalable Slide HTML page. Also, nested DIV tags are used to define percentage based positions, hyperlink areas and font sizes for HTML objects in the display space of the scalable Slide HTML page. The HTML objects include text, images, and image maps associated with hyperlinks. A scalar is calculated to retain the original aspect ratio when fitting a display space and HTML objects included in the scalable Slide HTML page to different display window dimensions and video display resolutions. This scalar is also used to calculate the font size of the text objects and the hyperlink area for the hyperlinks (imagemaps). User interface controls are provided to select options for automatically fitting the HTML objects in the scalable Slide HTML page to the size of the display window.

摘要： A graphical object is generated according to a first application in a document of a second application. The graphical object is constructed as a composite, data-driven object. The graphical object's data is organized so that the semantic data (e.g., relationship among individuals on an organizational chart) is persisted separately from presentation data (e.g., the layout and style of shapes and connectors for visualizing the organizational chart). The semantic data and presentation data are combined to provide the rendered view of the graphical object within the document. The graphical object displays and functions equivalently to when the graphical object is rendered by the first application.

摘要： An undo operation is executed by an application by performing the inverse actions of the do operation to which the undo operation relates. Previous designs simply swapped memory to execute an undo operation according to code that was entirely dissimilar to the code of the do operation. The dissimilarity of the code caused debugging such operations to be difficult. Using the inverse action to undo an action results in the similar code for the do, undo, and redo operations. Also, undo atoms are logged for do, undo, and redo operations so that any exceptions thrown during an operation allows the application to return to a previous, consistent state by operating on the undo atoms.

摘要： A presentation system for displaying a presentation at multiple computer systems. One computer system is designated as a presenter computer system, and the other computer systems are designated as audience member computer systems. Each computer system executes an application that exposes a function for controlling the behavior of the application. Each computer system also has a conference subsystem with a messaging component, an automation component, and a user interface component. The messaging component controls communications between the computer systems. The automation component controls the behavior of the application using the exposed function. The user interface component displays the presentation within a conference window, receives commands from a presenter and sends the commands to each audience member computer system, receives commands from the presenter computer system, and directs the automation component to effect the performing of behavior of the received commands.
