	Net deferred tax assets	$	-	$	-
	We have provided a valuation allowance for all of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, due to the uncertainty regarding their future realization. The total valuation allowance increased $836,000 from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013.
	As of December 31, 2013, we had federal and state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $557,934,000 and $88,224,000, subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") limitations respectively, available to offset future regular and alternative minimum taxable income. The NOLs include deductions for stock based compensation for which a benefit would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when realized of $2,643,000 and $1,906,000 respectively.   Our federal net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years from 2018 through 2033, if not used. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years from 2014 to 2033, if not used.
	The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was enacted on January 2, 2012.  The Act reinstated the research and development credit retroactively to January 1, 2012.  As the date of enactment was in 2013, we did not claim any federal tax benefit for the 2012 federal research and development credit until 2013.  Due to the projected loss for the year with a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, there is no tax impact for 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we had federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $6,078,000 and $5,323,000, respectively, available to offset future tax liabilities.  The federal tax credit carryforwards expire in the tax years from 2018 through 2033, if not utilized. The state research and development credits can be carried forward indefinitely.
	Federal and state tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss (“NOL”) and credit carryforwards in the event of an "ownership change" for tax purposes, as defined in IRC Section 382. Based on a high-level ownership change analysis performed each year, management concluded that there were no ownership changes through December 2013.
	We follow the provision of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes: Recognition ("ASC 740-10-25"). Our total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $2,777,000 and $2,273,000, respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate were $160,000 and $163,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):
	Balance at January 1, 2013	$	2,273
	Additions based on tax provisions related to the current year		133
	Additions for  tax provisions of prior year		377
	Settlements		-
	Lapse of the statute of limitation		-6
	Balance at December 31, 2013	$	2,777
	We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in our provision for income taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized approximately none and $7,000, respectively, for interest and penalties.
	We are subject to taxation in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Our tax years 1998 and forward remain open in several jurisdictions due to the NOL carryover from those tax years.
	It is possible that the amount of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next 12 months.  However, an estimate of the range of possible changes cannot be made at this time.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]	'
Commitments And Contingencies	'
	Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies
	Warranties and Indemnification
	We provide a warranty to our perpetual license customers that our software will perform substantially in accordance with the documentation we provide with the software, typically for a period of 90 days following receipt of the software. Historically, costs related to these warranties have been immaterial. Accordingly, we have not recorded any warranty liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Our perpetual software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of customers for intellectual property infringement claims caused by use of a current release of our software consistent with the terms of the license agreement. The term of these indemnification clauses is generally perpetual. The potential future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification clauses is generally limited to the amount the customer paid for the software. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have been immaterial. We also maintain liability insurance that limits our exposure. As a result, we believe the potential liability of these indemnification clauses is minimal. We rarely have litigation initiated against us by customers.  However, during the year ended 2010, we entered into a litigation settlement agreement with one customer that resulted in a non-cash credit redeemable for our products worth $300,000.  We recorded this credit as an operating expense and liability during year 2010.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, any remaining unused credits shall expire after the second anniversary of the agreement. During year 2012, the credit expired, completely unused.  Consequently, we reversed the $300,000 operating expense and extinguished the liability from our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012.
	We entered into agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer is, or was, serving in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for so long as such officer or director is subject to an indemnifiable event by reason of the fact that such person was serving in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements may be unlimited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is insignificant. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. We assess the need for an indemnification reserve on a quarterly basis and there can be no guarantee that an indemnification reserve will not become necessary in the future.
	Leases
	We lease our headquarters facility and our other facilities under noncancelable operating lease agreements expiring through the year 2016. Under the terms of the agreements, we are required to pay property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.
	A summary of total future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating lease agreements is as follows (in thousands):

	Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012 was $1,304,000 and $1,246,000, respectively.
	Legal Proceedings
	We are subject from time to time to various legal actions and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any material legal proceedings.

	The facilities/excess assets accrual for each period includes future minimum lease payments, fees and expenses, net of estimated sublease income and planned Company occupancy, and related leasehold improvement amounts payable subsequent to the balance sheet date for which the provisions of ASC 420-10, as applicable, were satisfied. In determining estimated future sublease income, the following factors were considered, among others: current market conditions and rental rates, an assessment of the time period over which reasonable estimates could be made, the status of negotiations with potential subtenants, and the location of the respective facilities.
	As of December 31, 2013, we no longer have any restructuring accruals or any future payments related to restructuring accrual.  The net restructuring charge of $12,000 during year 2012 pertained to operating expenses paid in the period in excess of the initial estimated accrual for our vacant office space in Redwood City.

	The weighted-average fair market value per share of options granted under our stock option plans during fiscal 2013 and 2012 was $6.02 and $10.37, respectively.
	We granted 6,809 shares of restricted stock to the non-employee members of our Board of Directors in June 2013, and recorded a stock-based compensation expense of $65,000.  We granted 5,798 shares of restricted stock to the non-employee members of our Board of Directors in 2012, and recorded a stock-based compensation expense of $50,000. The restricted stock will vest over a one-year period measured from the date of the annual meeting of stockholders with one quarter of the shares included in such Director Grant vesting on each of the dates that are three months, six months, nine months and twelve months from the annual meeting, so long as each board member continues to serve as a member of our board of directors on such vesting date.
	As of December 31, 2013, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $2,394,000, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of 1.64 years. During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we have received cash of $484,000 and $2,167,000, respectively from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchases.

	Note 10---Related Party Transactions
	On November 14, 2008, BroadVision (Delaware) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BVD”), which was then our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with CHRM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, that is controlled by Dr. Pehong Chen, our CEO and largest stockholder.  We and CHRM LLC then entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of BroadVision (Delaware) LLC dated as of November 14, 2008 (the “BVD Operating Agreement”). Under these agreements, CHRM LLC received, in exchange for the assignment of certain intellectual property rights, 20 Class B Shares of BVD, representing the right to receive 20% of any “net profit” from a “capital transaction” (as such terms are defined in the BVD Operating Agreement) of BroadVision (Barbados) Limited (“BVB”), an entity wholly owned by BVD.  A “capital transaction” under that agreement is any merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of BVB as a result of which the members of BVB will no longer have an interest in BVB or the assets of BVB will be distributed to its members. BVB is the sole owner of BroadVision On Demand, a Chinese entity (“BVOD”).  We have invested approximately $8.6 million in BVOD (directly and through BVD and BVB) to date.
	In 2013, we executed a renewal contract with a third party of which Dr. Pehong Chen, our CEO and largest stockholder, is a board member.   The total renewal license value associated with that contract is $156,000.  In 2012, we executed a renewal contract with the same customer with an associated value of $152,000.

	We provide for a defined contribution employee retirement plan in accordance with section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees are entitled to contribute up to 50% of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations. The Plan allows for discretionary contributions by us. As of July 1, 2011, we started a discretionary matching contribution.  The amount is equal to a percentage determined annually by our management for the contribution period.  Employees will be eligible for the match after 12 months of service and after completing 1,000 hours of work during the plan year.  Employees must be employed on the last business day of the plan year to be eligible for the match. We accrued $90,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, all of which has been funded as of January, 2014.

	Note 12--Proceeds from Sale of Cost Method Investment
	In August 2010, a third party acquired a company in which we held an equity stake and distributed $1.3 million to us in connection with the closing of the acquisition.  We had fully written off the investment to other expenses in 2002 due to an other-than-temporary decline in the fair market value at that time.  Additional sale proceeds were placed in an escrow account for up to two years, subject to certain contingencies.  In August 2012, we received an additional $0.8 million distribution from the escrow account, as a final distribution relating to this sale. We recorded these proceeds from this written off cost method investment as other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Nature of Business	'
	Nature of Business
	BroadVision, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "BroadVision" or "we") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 13, 1993 and has been a publicly traded corporation since 1996. We develop, market, and support enterprise portal applications that enable companies to unify their e-business infrastructure and conduct both interactions and transactions with employees, partners, and customers through a personalized self-service model that increases revenues, reduces costs, and improves productivity.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our and our subsidiaries’ accounts. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use Of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the reasonableness of our estimates, including those related to receivable reserves, stock-based compensation, investments, income taxes and restructuring, as well as contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates using different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Overview
	Our revenue consists of fees for licenses of our software products, maintenance, consulting services and training.
	Our revenue recognition policies comply with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 985-605, Software: Revenue Recognition, and Staff Accounting Bulletin SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. In October 2009, the FASB amended the accounting standards in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-13 (an update to ASC 605-25) ("ASU 2009-13") for certain multiple deliverable revenue arrangements to: 1) provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated; 2) require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using best estimated selling price ("BESP") of deliverables if a vendor does not have VSOE of selling price or third-party evidence ("TPE") of selling price; and 3) eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. We adopted ASU 2009-13 at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The application of these new accounting standards did not have a material impact on total net revenues for fiscal year 2011.
	We recognize revenue when all four of the following revenue recognition criteria have been met:
		•	Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
		•	We have delivered the product or performed the service;
		•	The fee is fixed or determinable; and
		•	Collection is probable.
	We qualify the second of the above listed criteria differently for different types of revenues, as follows.
	Software License Revenue, Non-Subscription and Non-Hosted Products
	Delivery of non-subscription and non-hosted software products is considered to have occurred when title to the physical media and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when media containing the licensed programs is provided to a common carrier. In case of electronic delivery, delivery occurs when the customer is given access to the licensed programs. For products that cannot be used without a licensing key, the delivery requirement is met when the licensing key is made available to the customer.  We do not grant a right of return for non-subscription or non-hosted software products.  We recognize revenue upon delivery of our software.
	Software License Revenue, Subscription Products or Hosted Products
	Although we made the software available to the customer at a particular point in time, the delivery of subscription software products (such as QuickSilver) and hosted software products (such as Clearvale and Clear) is considered to have occurred ratably over the duration of the contract.  We recognize revenue ratably.
	Services Revenues
	Consulting services revenues and training revenues are recognized as such services are performed.  These services are not essential to the functionality of the software. We record reimbursement from our customers for out-of-pocket expenses as an increase to services revenues.
	Maintenance revenue, which includes revenue that is derived from software license agreements that entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to our products, is recognized ratably over the related agreement period, which time period is generally twelve months.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and the Short-term Investments	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments
	We consider all debt with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments consist of debt that has a remaining maturity of less than one year as of the date of the balance sheet.
	Management determines the appropriate classification of short-term investments at the time of purchase and evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. All short-term investments to date have been classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our held-to-maturity securities did not have any gross unrealized gains and losses as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Our short-term investments’ contractual maturities occur before December 2014.  Total interest income during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 was $135,000 and $392,000, respectively.
Research and Development and Software Development Costs	'
	Research and Development and Software Development Costs
	ASC 985-20, Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed ("ASC 985-20"), requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. To date, costs incurred by us from the completion of the working model to the point at which the product is ready for general release have been insignificant. Accordingly, we have charged all such costs to research and development expenses in the period incurred.
Advertising Costs	'
	Advertising Costs
	Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, amounted to $28,000 and $75,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Receivable Reserves	'
	Receivable Reserves
	Occasionally, our customers experience financial difficulty after we recognize the revenue but before payment has been received. We maintain receivable reserves for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our normal payment terms are generally 30 to 90 days from the invoice date. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the contractual payments, additional reserves may be required. Losses from customer receivables in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013, have not been significant. If all efforts to collect a receivable fail, and the receivable is considered uncollectible, such receivable would be written off against the receivable reserve.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	'
	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with high-quality institutions. Our management performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and requires certain of these customers to provide security deposits or letters of credit.
	Cash deposits and cash equivalents in foreign countries of approximately $6.4 million on December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are subject to local banking laws and may bear higher or lower risk than cash deposited in the United States. As part of our cash and investment management processes, we perform periodic evaluations of the credit standing of the financial institutions and we have not sustained any credit losses from instruments held at these financial institutions. From time to time, our financial instruments maintained in our foreign subsidiaries may be subject to political risks or instability that may arise in foreign countries where we operate.
	No customers accounted for 10% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Restructuring	'
	Restructuring
	Through June 30, 2012, we approved certain restructuring plans to, among other things, reduce our workforce and consolidate facilities. Restructuring and asset impairment charges were recorded where we aligned our cost structure with changing market conditions and to create a more efficient organization. Our restructuring charges are comprised primarily of: (1) lease termination costs and/or costs associated with permanently vacating and sub-leasing our facilities; and (2) other incremental costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring plan. We account for each of these costs in accordance with ASC 420-10, Exit or Disposal of Cost Obligations ("ASC 420-10 ").
	We record the costs associated with lease termination and/or abandonment when the leased property has no substantive future use or benefit to us. We record the liability associated with lease termination and/or abandonment as the sum of the total remaining lease costs and related exit costs, less probable sublease income. Under ASC 420-10, we record a liability for lease termination and/or abandonment cost initially at fair value on the cease-use date of that facility.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (generally two years for software, three years for computer equipment and four years for furniture and fixtures). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease term or their estimated useful lives.
	Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	We adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820-10 ").  ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements by establishing a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
		•	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
		•	Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
		•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718-10, share-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense, net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, ratably over the vesting period of the award. In addition, the adoption of ASC 718-10 requires additional accounting related to the income tax effects and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the share-based awards, stock price volatility, dividend yield, risk free interest rates, and pre-vesting forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, our share-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. The total amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):
			Years Ended December 31,
			2013		2012
	Cost of services		$	91	$	94
	Research and development			155		160
	Sales and marketing			334		236
	General and administrative			117		122
			$	697	$	612
	We adopted the alternative transition method for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC 718-10. The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool ("APIC pool") related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of ASC 718-10.
	The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model based on assumptions noted in the following table below. The expected term of our options represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method provided for in SAB 107, as amended by SAB No. 110, Share-Based Payment.  Because we do not have sufficient historical exercise data, we used the simplified method for estimating the stock option expected term.  The risk-free interest rate for periods related to the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of our stock over the expected life of the option.  The expected dividend yield is zero, as we do not anticipate paying dividends in the near future.
Earning Per Share Information	'
	Earnings Per Share Information
	Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, common equivalent shares from outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the basic and diluted net loss per share computational data for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):
			Years Ended December 31,
			2013		2012
	Net Loss		$	-5,422	$	-5,052
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted loss per share			4,713		4,638
	Basic and diluted loss per share		$	-1.15	$	-1.09
Foreign Currency Translations	'
	Foreign Currency Transactions
	The functional currencies of all foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies of the respective countries.  Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included as other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.   For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, translation (loss) income was $(2,000) and $160,000, respectively, and is included in other comprehensive (loss) income account in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholder's Equity.
Comprehensive Loss	'
	Comprehensive Loss
	Comprehensive loss includes net loss and other comprehensive (loss) income, which consist of cumulative translation adjustments. Total accumulated other comprehensive loss is displayed as a separate component of Consolidated Statement of Stockholder's Equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accumulated balance of other comprehensive loss, only consisting of foreign currency translation, net of taxes is as follows (in thousands):
Income Tax and Deferred Tax Assets	'
	Income Taxes and Deferred Tax Assets
	Income taxes are computed using an asset and liability approach in accordance with ASC 740-10,  Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10"), which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
	We analyze our deferred tax assets with regard to potential realization. We have established a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets to the extent that management has determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized based upon the uncertainty of their realization. We consider the effects of estimated future taxable income, current economic conditions and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance.
Segment and Geographic Information	'
	Segment and Geographic Information
	We operate in one segment, electronic commerce business solutions. Our CEO is our chief operating decision maker. The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region and by product for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
