International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30
G06F 3/00

US Classification:

707 3, 715713, 715714

Abstract:

Computer assistance content related to a plurality of software entities is combined into a single assistance content corpus. The corpus may be organized hierarchically. The hierarchical organization can be done using content sets that relate assistance content with associated metadata. Content sets can be related to each other in parent-child relationships. The relationship definitions can be separate from the content set definitions. Scope and bias information can be used to constrain assistance content searching over the corpus and to bias search results based on one or more state variables of the user's computer. A remote assistance server can be used to provide updated or newer assistance content to the user. When the remote assistance server is used, an assistance request from the user is supplemented with scope information.

US Classification:

713187, 726 22, 726 26, 380 59

Abstract:

Content including links to behaviors (code which can be executed and return supplemental content for insertion, or can modify existing content) is stored, and at run-time, the links to behaviors are followed and the supplemental content or the modifications to existing comment are used to create a final version of content which will be presented to the user. Security enhancements including a security check ensure that only behaviors which are secure will be run. Default content may be provided, which may be inserted if the security check is not passed, or if the content returned from the behavior is unusable for some reason.

Abstract:

A content author provides content to be displayed, including some content elements for which display is conditional on the state of the machine in which the content will be viewed. The conditional statements controlling the display of these content elements, in one embodiment refer to states provided by a state monitor. The state may refer to the state of any aspect of the viewing environment, including hardware, software, firmware, user preferences, software operating modes, and any other detectable state. The resulting content is optionally combined with other similar content via a structural transform. This content is transformed with a presentation transform. One of the transforms checks the states and resolves the conditional statements included by the content author. The result of the transforms is presentation data. A display of this presentation data includes the content which, according to the conditional statements and the state of the viewing environment is appropriate for display.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707001000

Abstract:

A URI is received and includes an indication of an item of content. A determination is made as to whether there is access to a help server. If there is access, then a version of the item of content is retrieved from the help server. If there is no access, then a version of the item of content is retrieved from a local client content store.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707009000

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method of providing security in a help system includes receiving a call from a calling application to access active content. A determination is made, based on predetermined criteria, which execution mode to use to access the active content. The active content is then accessed in the determined execution mode.
