Jonathan J. Kleid - Mountain View CA, US
Vivek Patel - Palo Alto CA, US
David Champlin - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Palm, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G06F003/14

US Classification:

715788, 715792, 715864

Abstract:

A method and system are provided that translates tabular data prepared for a first display format into a second display format. Tabular data prepared for display on a conventional desktop display device may be adjusted for display on a portable computing device having a different display device. Tabular formatting may be removed for single row and single column tables. The method and system may also remove tabular formatting for tables having horizontal dimensions exceeding a specified amount. Tabular data may be removed from tables having more than one column that exceeds a specified maximum column size. The method and system may also identify nested tables and eliminate tabular formatting for all but the innermost tables.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709230, 709203, 709249, 370401, 370466, 379900

Abstract:

A system and method communicates data from a web content provider to a wireless computing device (e. g. , a PDA, a cellular phone) via a proxy server. The proxy server transforms web content “on-the-fly” into a streamlined format, optimizes it for display, and delivers it to the device, where it is progressively rendered by a browser installed on the device.

International Classification:

G06K 9/00
G09G 5/00

US Classification:

382100, 382293, 345619

Abstract:

A change to an image is synchronized. A modified image is obtained at a first device where the modified image is associated with modified metadata. The modified metadata is stored in a store associated with the first device. The metadata is sent from the first device to a second device, where the modified image is able to be generated on the second device using the modified metadata and a preexisting image file on the second device.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707620, 707623

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method is provided for managing and sharing picture files. In one embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises providing a server platform and providing a datastore on the server platform for maintaining full resolution copies of the files shared between a plurality of sharing clients. A synchronization engine is provided on the server platform and is configured to send real-time updates to a plurality of sharing clients when at least one of the sharing clients updates or changes one of said files. A web interface may also be provided that allows a user to access files in the datastore through the use of a web browser.

Inventors:

Kiren R. Sekar - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

SugarSync, Inc. - San Mateo CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709248, 709217, 709224

Abstract:

The present invention provides an opportunistic peer-to-peer synchronization method, where client devices can either synchronize with a peer device or a master server, depending on which is the best available option. Client devices monitor synchronization information provided by peer client devices to determine if data that the client device desires to synchronize can be synchronized with a peer client device. If a peer device is available for synchronization, then a client device will synchronize with such peer device. Otherwise, the client device will synchronize with the master server or other device. Client devices can seamlessly switch between peer-to-peer synchronization and client-server synchronization, even during the middle of synchronization session.
