Abstract: Methods, machines, systems and machine-readable instructions for albuming graphic elements are described. In one aspect, candidate relative layouts of graphic elements on a page are identified. Each of the candidate relative layouts describes a respective set of layout relationships among the graphic elements. A respective set of constraints describing the corresponding set of layout relationships among the graphic elements is generated for each of the candidate relative layouts. A respective determinate layout of the graphic elements on the page is determined from each set of constraints. One of the determinate layouts is selected as a final layout of the graphic elements on the page.

Abstract: Methods, systems and machine-readable instructions for processing an electronic document are described. In one aspect, logical blocks that were extracted from the electronic document, including a text block comprising text lines each encompassed by a respective bounding rectangle, are received. Edges of ones of the bounding rectangles are extended to at least one boundary without changing layout relationships among the logical blocks in the electronic document. A text layout boundary is generated from extended and unextended edges of the bounding rectangles. A description of the text layout boundary is stored in a machine-readable medium.

Abstract: Systems and methods according to the present invention provide techniques to automatically crop an image to a desired size and non-rectangular crop shape. A non-rectangular crop shape can, for example, be input to an image processing system. The non-rectangular crop shape is then used to process the original image to generate the desired crop.

Abstract: Systems and methods according to the present invention provide techniques to automatically crop an image to a desired size. Automating the cropping process, while at the same time providing a high quality, cropped image, can be accomplished by employing a comprehensive approach that includes one or more of contextual cropping (e.g., basing cropping decisions on elements within the image to be cropped itself), training the cropping mechanism (e.g., using previously cropped versions of the same image or related images) and multiple operational modes (e.g., selecting one of a plurality of different cropping techniques for cropping a particular image).

Abstract: A system and method for extracting demographic information from a contact is disclosed. The method discloses: initiating a dialog between a contact and a call handling system; selecting a set of demographic characteristics; assigning a set of acoustic confidence scores; assigning a set of substantive confidence scores; combining the acoustic and substantive confidence scores; and tailoring information presented to the contact using the set of combined confidence scores. The system discloses: an Interactive Voice Response module for initiating a dialog between a contact and a call handling system, and selecting a set of demographic characteristics; an acoustic classifier for assigning a set of acoustic confidence scores; a substantive classifier for assigning a set of substantive confidence scores; and a data combiner for combining the acoustic and substantive confidence scores. The Interactive Voice Response module also tailors information presented to the contact using the set of combined confidence scores.

Abstract: A system apparatus and method for operator assisted automated call handling is disclosed. The method discloses the elements of: initiating a dialog between a user and an automated call handling system; receiving input from a user in response to an input request by the system; sending a human operator the user input, if the system can not interpret the user input; providing the system with an interpreted response generated by the operator based on the user input; continuing the dialog between the user and the system if the interpreted response is confirmed by the user; and connecting the user to the operator if the interpreted response is not confirmed by the user. The system discloses means for practicing the method.
