Abstract

Claims (58)

1 . A computing platform comprising:

at least one processor;

a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and

memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to:

receive, from a computing device, one or more requests to retrieve a target asset;

responsive to receiving the one or more requests, retrieve, from a cloud storage server, the target asset;

extract, from the target asset, information specifying one or more fonts included in the target asset;

store the one or more fonts to a staging location;

generate, based on the one or more fonts, one or more font activation rules;

activate, based on the one or more font activation rules, the one or more fonts; and

send, after the activating, one or more commands directing the computing device to access the target asset corresponding to the activated one or more fonts.

2 . The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the memory stores one or more additional computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to:

monitor the target asset, wherein monitoring the target asset comprises identifying font changes within the target asset; and

update, based on identifying the font changes within the target asset, the one or more font activation rules.

3 . The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the memory stores one or more additional computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to:

deactivate, based on receiving a request to terminate access to the target asset, the one or more fonts.

4 . The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the one or more requests to retrieve the target asset comprise one or more of: mouse clicks, keyboard commands, user input selecting a menu option, or user input directing the computing platform to edit the target asset.

5 . The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the target asset comprises one or more of: a hypertext markup language (HTML) document, a text document, or a portable document.

6 . The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the one or more font activation rules comprise an executable script, wherein the executable script is configured to automatically activate the one or more fonts specified by the information extracted from the target asset, prior to opening the target asset, based on the computing platform executing the executable script.

7 . The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the computing platform is managed by a remote computing device associated with a provider of font activation services.

8 . The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the staging location comprises one or more of: internal memory of the computing device, external memory of a second computing device associated with the computing platform, or a cloud-based storage system.

9 . The computing platform of claim 1 , wherein the one or more font activation rules comprise one or more of:

a rule to activate one or more fonts using temporary global activation,

a rule to activate one or more fonts using temporary private activation, or

a rule to activate one or more fonts using permanent font activation.

10 . A method comprising:

at a computing platform comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory:

receiving, from a computing device, one or more requests to retrieve a target asset;

responsive to receiving the one or more requests, retrieving, from a cloud storage server, the target asset;

extracting, from the target asset, information specifying one or more fonts included in the target asset;

storing the one or more fonts to a staging location;

generating, based on the one or more fonts, one or more font activation rules;

activating, based on the one or more font activation rules, the one or more fonts; and

sending, after the activating, one or more commands directing the computing device to access the target asset corresponding to the activated one or more fonts.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

monitoring the target asset, wherein monitoring the target asset comprises identifying font changes within the target asset; and

updating, based on identifying the font changes within the target asset, the one or more font activation rules.

12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising deactivating, based on receiving a request to terminate access to the target asset, the one or more fonts.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the target asset comprises one or more of: a hypertext markup language (HTML) document, a text document, or a portable document.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more font activation rules comprise an executable script, wherein the executable script is configured to automatically activate the one or more fonts specified by the information extracted from the target asset, prior to opening the target asset, based on the computing platform executing the executable script.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the computing platform is managed by a remote computing device associated with a provider of font activation services.

16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the staging location comprises one or more of: internal memory of the computing device, external memory of a second computing device associated with the computing platform, or a cloud-based storage system.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more font activation rules comprise one or more of:

a rule to activate one or more fonts using temporary global activation,

a rule to activate one or more fonts using temporary private activation, or

a rule to activate one or more fonts using permanent font activation.

18 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing platform comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory, cause the computing platform to:

receive, from a computing device, one or more requests to retrieve a target asset;

responsive to receiving the one or more requests, retrieve, from a cloud storage server, the target asset;

extract, from the target asset, information specifying one or more fonts included in the target asset;

store the one or more fonts to a staging location;

generate, based on the one or more fonts, one or more font activation rules;

activate, based on the one or more font activation rules, the one or more fonts; and

send, after the activating, one or more commands directing the computing device to access the target asset corresponding to the activated one or more fonts.

19 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 18 , storing further instructions that, when executed by the computing platform, cause the computing platform to:

monitor the target asset, wherein monitoring the target asset comprises identifying font changes within the target asset; and

update, based on identifying the font changes within the target asset, the one or more font activation rules.

20 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 18 , wherein the one or more font activation rules comprise an executable script, wherein the executable script is configured to automatically activate the one or more fonts specified by the information extracted from the target asset, prior to opening the target asset, based on the computing platform executing the executable script.
