Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1. O rganization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  BroadVision, Inc. 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.  Except where specifically noted or the context otherwise requires, the use of terms such as the “Company”, “BroadVision,” “we” and “our” in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to BroadVision, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation  The condensed consolidated financial results and related information as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not necessarily reflect all of the disclosures previously reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be reviewed in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2019, as amended.  The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions in Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2019 or any future interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.  On January 2, 2019, we entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Vmoso, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VMSO”), for the purchase of 745,000 shares of VMSO’s Series A Preferred Stock for a purchase price comprising the contribution of our intellectual property and other net assets. This transaction was considered a common control transaction, and the assets and liabilities were transferred to VMSO at carrying value and resulted in no gain or loss. The contributed assets represent substantially all of the intellectual property and other assets relating to our Clearvale and Vmoso platforms, including our current Clearvale and Vmoso products and customer relationships and our My Vmoso Network (“MVN”) development project. VMSO will continue the commercialization of the Clearvale and Vmoso products and the development of MVN.  Following the completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock described below, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by our company represent approximately 19.9% of the total number of shares of VMSO’s capital stock outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of VMSO’s Series A Preferred Stock include a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share in addition to participating rights proportionate to the number of shares held. The fair value of the VMSO Series A Preferred Stock held by the Company upon completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock described below was 33.3% of VMSO.  On January 2, 2019, Dr. Pehong Chen, our and VMSO’s President and Chief Executive Officer and our largest stockholder, purchased 3,000,000 shares of VMSO’s Class 1 Common Stock, representing approximately 80.1% of the total number of shares of VMSO’s capital stock outstanding after such purchase, for a purchase price of $3,000,000 in cash pursuant to a Class 1 Common Stock Purchase Agreement between Dr. Chen and VMSO. The fair value of Dr. Chen’s non-controlling interest in VMSO upon completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock was 66.7% of VMSO.  On January 2, 2019, we entered into a Services and Facilities Agreement, with VMSO, the terms of which provide for the payment of certain fees to us by VMSO, in exchange for the contribution of our expertise, resources, services, as well as the limited use of our facilities in VMSO’s business and operations. The Services and Facilities Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2019 and shall continue for a period of one year, unless earlier terminated, and shall be renewable upon written consent from both parties.  We and VMSO anticipate that, pursuant to the Services and Facilities Agreement, we will provide substantially all of the personnel, facilities and equipment required for VMSO’s operations for the foreseeable future. The fees contemplated by the Services and Facilities Agreement are generally intended to permit us to recover the cost to us of providing these personnel, facilities, and equipment.  The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it holds a variable interest and for which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary.  The Company controls the management of VMSO and has the obligation to absorb the losses of, and receive benefits from VMSO. Accordingly, the Company has identified itself as the primary beneficiary of VMSO and began consolidating VMSO in the first quarter of 2019, resulting in a noncontrolling interest related to Dr. Chen, the holder of Class 1 common stock in VMSO.  The assets, liabilities, operating expenses, and cash flows of VMSO are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. While the assets of VMSO set forth below may be used to settle its liabilities to the Company, they are not otherwise available to settle the Company’s obligations, and, therefore, are shown separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liabilities of VMSO set forth below are owed to the Company, and thus are eliminated in consolidation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The VMSO Class 1 Common Stock owned by Dr. Chen represents a non-controlling interest, and profits and losses in VMSO are allocated pro-rata between the Company and the non-controlling interest based on the proportionate fair value of equity ownership.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to receivable reserves, stock-based compensation, investments, impairment assessments and income taxes, valuation of equity instruments, 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.  Liquidity  The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $ 1.8 million and net cash used for operations of $1.0 million, and at June 30, 2019 the Company had working capital of $ 3.1 million. At June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 4.6 million , including $2.1 million held by VMSO. The Company has implemented cost reduction plans since the second half of 2017 to reduce the Company’s cash needs and reduced the cost of its operations by approximately $5 million in 2018. In January 2019, the Company completed the VMSO financing, pursuant to which VMSO raised $3.0 million in cash from our and VMSO’s President and Chief Executive Officer and our largest stockholder. As a result, VMSO now holds all of the intellectual property and other assets related to our Clearvale and Vmoso platforms, reducing our exposure to future development and commercialization costs of Clearvale, Vmoso and MVN. The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019, which include the proceeds of its VMSO financing, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.  However, further cost reduction may result in voluntary departures of highly skilled technical and managerial personnel, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, internal controls, financial condition and results of operations. We expect to opportunistically seek to raise additional funds through private or public sales of securities, strategic relationships, bank debt, financing under leasing arrangements or otherwise. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or any equity securities we sell may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. We expect that obtaining additional financing on acceptable terms would be difficult, at best. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to pay our debts as they become due, develop our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and future operating results. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish these plans and secure sources of financing and/or reduce costs and ultimately attain profitable operations.  Stock-Based Compensation  The following table sets forth the components of the total stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):        Three Months Ended Six Months Ended  June 30, June 30,  2019 2018 2019 2018  Cost of services $ — $ 15 $ — $ 28  Research and development — 35 — 77  Sales and marketing 4 27 8 62  General and administrative 15 30 29 66  $ 19 $ 107 $ 37 $ 233  Leases  The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have finance leases. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain to be exercised. Operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (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 and awards using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share computational data for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):        Three Months Ended Six Months Ended  June 30, June 30,  2019 2018 2019 2018  Net loss attributable to BroadVision $ (285) $ (2,160) $ (574) $ (3,652)  Weighted-average common shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share 5,018 4,997 5,010 4,996  Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to BroadVision $ (0.06) $ (0.43) $ (0.11) $ (0.73)   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.  Foreign Currency Translations  The functional currencies of all foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies of their 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 periods presented. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included as other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The translation adjustment was $(4,000) loss and $77,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts are included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss account in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive Income (loss) includes net loss and other comprehensive gains and losses, which primarily consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Total accumulated other comprehensive loss is displayed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accumulated balances of other comprehensive loss consist of the following, net of taxes (in thousands):      Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Loss  Balance, December 31, 2018 $ (1,435)  Net change during period (4)  Balance, June 30, 2019 $ (1,439)    Recent Accounting Pronouncements  Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement  In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the recognition of an asset and liability for lease arrangements longer than twelve months. The Company adopted the new accounting standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method and elected the package of practical expedients for expired or existing contracts, which allowed the Company not to reassess (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company recorded right-of-use assets of $120,000 in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, and lease liabilities of $120,000 in aggregate in “Operating lease liabilities – current” and “other non-current liabilities” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet on the adoption date. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted  In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Entities may early adopt the ASU in their fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.

Revenues [Abstract]
Revenues	Note 2. Revenues  Revenue Accounting Policies  Our revenue consists of fees for licenses of our software products, maintenance, consulting services and training. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. The transaction price is generally in the form of a fixed fee at contract inception without variable considerations. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices for each performance obligation. We then look to how control transfers to the customer in order to determine the timing of revenue recognition.  The following is a description of principal activities from which we generate revenue:  Software License Revenues – Products with Non-Ratably Recognized Revenue  Licenses for software products with non-ratably recognized revenue (such as QuickSilver) provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or subscribe to licenses, which provide customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software. Revenues from such software licenses are recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer, which is consistent with the timing of the payments received from the customer. We do not grant a right of return for these software products.  Software License Revenues – Products with Ratably-Recognized Revenue  These cloud offerings (such as Vmoso, Clearvale and Clear) allow customers to use software over the subscription period without taking possession of the software. Revenue related to these licenses is recognized ratably over the contract period. We receive payments from our customers in advance based on billing schedules established in each contract. Upfront payments are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue as we perform our obligations under these contracts.  Maintenance Revenues  Maintenance revenues, which include revenues that are allocated from software license agreements that entitle the customers to technical support and future unspecified enhancements to our products, are recognized ratably over the related agreement period, which time period is generally twelve months. Customer payments are usually received annually in advance, which are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue as we perform our obligations under these agreements.  Consulting Services Revenues  Consulting services revenues and training revenues are recognized as such services are performed based on time and cost incurred. These services are not essential to the functionality of the software. We record reimbursements from our customers for out-of-pocket expenses as an increase to services revenues.  Significant Judgments  Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Judgment is also required to determine the timing of the recognition, as well as the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine such standalone selling price using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.  Practical Expedients and Exemptions  We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses.   Disaggregation of Revenues  The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by geographical region, major product line and timing of revenue recognition (in thousands ):      Six months ended June 30, 2019  Geographic region: Software Licenses - Non-hosted Software Licenses - Hosted Maintenance Professional Services Total  Americas $ 649 $ 128 $ 439 $ — $ 1,216  Europe 35 21 329 3 388  Asia/Pacific — 256 115 24 395  Total revenues $ 684 $ 405 $ 883 $ 27 $ 1,999   Six months ended June 30, 2018  Geographic region: Software Licenses - Non-hosted Software Licenses - Hosted Maintenance Professional Services Total  Americas $ 814 $ 123 $ 403 $ 19 $ 1,359  Europe 99 51 368 52 570  Asia/Pacific — 457 127 333 917  Total revenues $ 913 $ 631 $ 898 $ 404 $ 2,846    Six months ended June 30, 2019  Timing of revenue recognition: Software Licenses - Non-hosted Software Licenses - Hosted Maintenance Professional Services Total  Transferred at a point in time $ 684 $ — $ — $ — $ 684  Transferred over time — 405 883 27 1,315  Total revenues $ 684 $ 405 $ 883 $ 27 $ 1,999    Six months ended June 30, 2018  Timing of revenue recognition: Software Licenses - Non-hosted Software Licenses - Hosted Maintenance Professional Services Total  Transferred at a point in time $ 913 $ — $ — $ — $ 913  Transferred over time — 631 898 404 1,933  Total revenues $ 913 $ 631 $ 898 $ 404 $ 2,846  Contract Balances  The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and deferred revenues from contracts with customers.

Contract assets include amounts related to our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Deferred revenues include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are realized with the associated revenue recognized under the contract, which is generally within a year. Increases to deferred revenues were mainly a result of additional upfront payments received during the period, whereas decreases to unearned and deferred revenues were due to performance obligations satisfied.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments We measure assets and liabilities at fair value based on an exit price as defined by the FASB guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:  · 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; and · 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.  We measure the following financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these financial assets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands) were as follows :     Fair Value at Reporting Date Using  Quoted  Prices in  Active Significant  Markets for Other Significant  Identical Observable Unobservable  June 30, Assets Inputs Inputs  2019 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3)  Cash and cash equivalents:  Cash $ 1,352 $ 1,352 $ — $ —  Money market funds 3,268 3,268 — —  Total cash and cash equivalents $ 4,620 $ 4,620 $ — $ —   Fair Value at Reporting Date Using  Quoted  Prices in  Active Significant  Markets for Other Significant  Identical Observable Unobservable  December 31, Assets Inputs Inputs  2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3)  Cash and cash equivalents:  Cash $ 1,628 $ 1,628 $ — $ —  Money market funds 946 946 — —  Total cash and cash equivalents $ 2,574 $ 2,574 $ — $ —  Level 2 securities are priced using quoted market prices for similar instruments, nonbinding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data, or discounted cash flow techniques.  The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable for all periods presented approximates their respective carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these balances.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	Note 5. 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 are 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 to any indemnification claims that may arise. As a result, we believe the potential liability of these indemnification clauses is minimal. Accordingly, we did not record any liabilities for these agreements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  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 to such claims 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 either June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. 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 each of which will expire at various dates during or before June 2020. We recognize the rent expense on a straight line basis over the lease period. Under the terms of our lease agreements, we are required to pay property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.  On January 1, 2019, we recorded right-of-use assets of $120,000 in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and as of June 30, 2019 we had related lease liabilities of $78,000 in aggregate in “Operating lease liabilities – current” and zero in “Other non-current liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases is as follows (dollars in thousands):      Six Months Ended  June 30, 2019  Cash payments for operating leases $ 44      June 30, 2019  Weighted-average remaining lease term 1.0 years  Weighted-average discount rate 12%   Future minimum non-cancelable payments under operating leases as of June 30, 2019, were as follows (in thousands):     Operating Leases  Remainder of 2019 $ 75  2020 45  Total future lease payments $ 120  Less imputed interest 11  Present value of lease liabilities $ 109  During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded operating lease cost of $58,000 and $348,000 , respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had no leases that have not yet commenced, except for a new lease commencing mid-November 2019 for new premises in Woburn, MA, which has a minimum commitment of 12.5 months at a total cost of $13,000 .

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Note 7. Related Party Transactions  BVD and BVOD  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 Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and largest stockholder and in which our former Chief Financial Officer, Peter Chu, holds a minority interest. 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 a portion of any distribution of Funds from “Capital Transactions” (as such term is defined in the BVD Operating Agreement), with the exact amount to be determined based on our and CHRM LLC’s capital account balances at the time of such distribution. A Capital Transaction under that agreement is any merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of BVD as a result of which the members of BVD will no longer have an interest in BVD or the assets of BVD will be distributed to its members. Class B Shares do not participate in any profits of BVD except for net profits related to a Capital Transaction, in which case the net profits are allocated to the owners of Class A and Class B Shares in proportion to their respective number of shares. To the extent BVD’s losses do not exceed undistributed net profits accumulated since the date of issuance of Class B Shares, such losses are allocated to Class A Shares. To the extent net losses exceed the undistributed net profits accumulated since the date of issuance of Class B Shares, such excess is allocated to the owners of Class A and Class B Shares in proportion to their respective cumulative capital contributions less any return of capital, until allocation of such losses results in having the capital account balances equal to zero . Then, net losses are allocated to the owners of Class A and Class B Shares in proportion to their respective number of shares. Upon liquidation, the net assets of BVD are distributed to the owners of Class A and Class B in proportion to their capital account balances.  BVD is the sole owner of BroadVision (Barbados) Limited (“BVB”) and BVB is the sole owner of BroadVision On Demand, a Chinese entity (“BVOD”). We have invested approximately $9.0 million in BVOD (directly and through BVD and BVB) from 2007 through 2016 . In 2014 we began making payments directly to BVOD for certain labor outsourcing services however, we discontinued our BVOD operations during the fourth quarter of 2018 and do not expect to pay BVOD for such services in subsequent periods. We made aggregate payments to BVOD of zero and $1.0 million (based on the RMB to USD exchange rates on the applicable dates of payment) for such services in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These payments in part covered services rendered outside of the applicable years. We have a controlling voting interest in BVD. Pursuant to the terms of the BVD Operating Agreement, the Class B Shares held by CHRM LLC have no voting rights.  The 20 Class B Shares of BVD represent a non-controlling interest. We allocate profits and losses of BVD to the non-controlling interest under the Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value (“HLBV”) method. Under this method, the profits and losses are allocated by reference to the profit sharing provisions in the BVD Operating Agreement assuming liquidation of BVD at its book value at the end of each reporting period. Profits and losses allocated to the balance of such interest under the HLBV method have not been material. In May 2019, BVOD was liquidated and BVOD’s bank account was closed. The funds totaling $21,000 were transferred by the bank to Dr. Pehong Chen, our and VMSO’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and the resulting related-party receivable of $21,000 is included in Prepaid and Other Current Assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2019.  VMSO  As discussed in Note 1 above, on January 2, 2019, we entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with VMSO for the purchase of 745,000 shares of VMSO’s Series A Preferred Stock for a purchase price comprising the contribution of our intellectual property and other net assets. The contributed assets represent substantially all of the intellectual property and other assets relating to our Clearvale and Vmoso platforms, including our current Clearvale and Vmoso products and customer relationships and our MVN development project. VMSO will continue the commercialization of the Clearvale and Vmoso products and the development of MVN.  This transaction was considered a common control transaction, and the assets and liabilities were transferred to VMSO at carrying value and resulted in no gain or loss.  Following the completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock described below, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by our Company represent approximately 19.9% of the total number of shares of VMSO’s capital stock outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of VMSO’s Series A Preferred Stock include a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share in addition to participating rights proportionate to the number of shares held. The fair value of the VMSO Series A Preferred Stock held by the Company upon completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock described below was 33.3% of VMSO.  Pursuant to the financing plan that we announced in October 2018, on January 2, 2019, Dr. Chen, our and VMSO’s President and Chief Executive Officer and our largest stockholder, purchased 3,000,000 shares of VSMO’s Class 1 Common Stock, representing approximately 80.1% of the total number of shares of VMSO’s capital stock outstanding after such purchase, for a purchase price of $3,000,000 in cash pursuant to a Class 1 Common Stock Purchase Agreement between Dr. Chen and VMSO. The fair value of Dr. Chen’s non-controlling interest in VMSO upon completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock was 66.7% of VMSO.  On January 2, 2019, we entered into the Services and Facilities Agreement with VMSO, the terms of which provide for the payment of certain fees to us by VMSO, in exchange for the contribution of our expertise, resources, services, as well as the limited use of our facilities in VMSO’s business and operations. The Services and Facilities Agreement became effective as of January 1, 2019 and shall continue for a period of one year, unless earlier terminated, and shall be renewable upon written consent from both parties.  We and VMSO currently anticipate that, pursuant to the Services and Facilities Agreement, we will provide substantially all of the personnel, facilities and equipment required for VMSO’s operations for the foreseeable future. The fees contemplated by the Services and Facilities Agreement are generally intended to permit us to recover the cost to us of providing these personnel, facilities, and equipment. In addition, BroadVision acts as a reseller of VMSO’s Clearvale and Vmoso products. At June 30, 2019, we have a net receivable and VMSO has a net payable of $699,000 for services performed/received under the Services and Facilities Agreement and transactions related to resale of VMSO products; we have a deferred cost of revenue and VMSO has a deferred revenue of $128,000 related to resale of VMSO products; and intercompany profits between BroadVision and VMSO are nominal. These amounts eliminate upon consolidation.  The Class 1 Common Stock owned by Dr. Chen represents a noncontrolling interest and profits and losses in VMSO are allocated pro-rata between our Company and the non-controlling interest based on the proportionate fair value of equity ownership.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation  The condensed consolidated financial results and related information as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not necessarily reflect all of the disclosures previously reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be reviewed in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2019, as amended.  The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions in Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2019 or any future interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.  On January 2, 2019, we entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Vmoso, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VMSO”), for the purchase of 745,000 shares of VMSO’s Series A Preferred Stock for a purchase price comprising the contribution of our intellectual property and other net assets. This transaction was considered a common control transaction, and the assets and liabilities were transferred to VMSO at carrying value and resulted in no gain or loss. The contributed assets represent substantially all of the intellectual property and other assets relating to our Clearvale and Vmoso platforms, including our current Clearvale and Vmoso products and customer relationships and our My Vmoso Network (“MVN”) development project. VMSO will continue the commercialization of the Clearvale and Vmoso products and the development of MVN.  Following the completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock described below, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by our company represent approximately 19.9% of the total number of shares of VMSO’s capital stock outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of VMSO’s Series A Preferred Stock include a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share in addition to participating rights proportionate to the number of shares held. The fair value of the VMSO Series A Preferred Stock held by the Company upon completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock described below was 33.3% of VMSO.  On January 2, 2019, Dr. Pehong Chen, our and VMSO’s President and Chief Executive Officer and our largest stockholder, purchased 3,000,000 shares of VMSO’s Class 1 Common Stock, representing approximately 80.1% of the total number of shares of VMSO’s capital stock outstanding after such purchase, for a purchase price of $3,000,000 in cash pursuant to a Class 1 Common Stock Purchase Agreement between Dr. Chen and VMSO. The fair value of Dr. Chen’s non-controlling interest in VMSO upon completion of VMSO’s sale of Class 1 Common Stock was 66.7% of VMSO.  On January 2, 2019, we entered into a Services and Facilities Agreement, with VMSO, the terms of which provide for the payment of certain fees to us by VMSO, in exchange for the contribution of our expertise, resources, services, as well as the limited use of our facilities in VMSO’s business and operations. The Services and Facilities Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2019 and shall continue for a period of one year, unless earlier terminated, and shall be renewable upon written consent from both parties.  We and VMSO anticipate that, pursuant to the Services and Facilities Agreement, we will provide substantially all of the personnel, facilities and equipment required for VMSO’s operations for the foreseeable future. The fees contemplated by the Services and Facilities Agreement are generally intended to permit us to recover the cost to us of providing these personnel, facilities, and equipment.  The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it holds a variable interest and for which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary.  The Company controls the management of VMSO and has the obligation to absorb the losses of, and receive benefits from VMSO. Accordingly, the Company has identified itself as the primary beneficiary of VMSO and began consolidating VMSO in the first quarter of 2019, resulting in a noncontrolling interest related to Dr. Chen, the holder of Class 1 common stock in VMSO.  The assets, liabilities, operating expenses, and cash flows of VMSO are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. While the assets of VMSO set forth below may be used to settle its liabilities to the Company, they are not otherwise available to settle the Company’s obligations, and, therefore, are shown separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liabilities of VMSO set forth below are owed to the Company, and thus are eliminated in consolidation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Use Of Estimates	Use of Estimates  The preparation of Condensed 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 our estimates, including those related to receivable reserves, stock-based compensation, investments, impairment assessments and income taxes, valuation of equity instruments, 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.
Liquidity	Liquidity  The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $ 1.8 million and net cash used for operations of $1.0 million, and at June 30, 2019 the Company had working capital of $ 3.1 million. At June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 4.6 million , including $2.1 million held by VMSO. The Company has implemented cost reduction plans since the second half of 2017 to reduce the Company’s cash needs and reduced the cost of its operations by approximately $5 million in 2018. In January 2019, the Company completed the VMSO financing, pursuant to which VMSO raised $3.0 million in cash from our and VMSO’s President and Chief Executive Officer and our largest stockholder. As a result, VMSO now holds all of the intellectual property and other assets related to our Clearvale and Vmoso platforms, reducing our exposure to future development and commercialization costs of Clearvale, Vmoso and MVN. The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019, which include the proceeds of its VMSO financing, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.  However, further cost reduction may result in voluntary departures of highly skilled technical and managerial personnel, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, internal controls, financial condition and results of operations. We expect to opportunistically seek to raise additional funds through private or public sales of securities, strategic relationships, bank debt, financing under leasing arrangements or otherwise. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or any equity securities we sell may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. We expect that obtaining additional financing on acceptable terms would be difficult, at best. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to pay our debts as they become due, develop our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and future operating results. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish these plans and secure sources of financing and/or reduce costs and ultimately attain profitable operations.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation  The following table sets forth the components of the total stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):        Three Months Ended Six Months Ended  June 30, June 30,  2019 2018 2019 2018  Cost of services $ — $ 15 $ — $ 28  Research and development — 35 — 77  Sales and marketing 4 27 8 62  General and administrative 15 30 29 66  $ 19 $ 107 $ 37 $ 233 
Leases	Leases  The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have finance leases. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain to be exercised. Operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (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 and awards using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share computational data for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):        Three Months Ended Six Months Ended  June 30, June 30,  2019 2018 2019 2018  Net loss attributable to BroadVision $ (285) $ (2,160) $ (574) $ (3,652)  Weighted-average common shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share 5,018 4,997 5,010 4,996  Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to BroadVision $ (0.06) $ (0.43) $ (0.11) $ (0.73)  
Legal Proceedings	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.
Foreign Currency Translations	Foreign Currency Translations  The functional currencies of all foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies of their 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 periods presented. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included as other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The translation adjustment was $(4,000) loss and $77,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts are included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss account in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive Income (loss) includes net loss and other comprehensive gains and losses, which primarily consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Total accumulated other comprehensive loss is displayed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accumulated balances of other comprehensive loss consist of the following, net of taxes (in thousands):      Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Loss  Balance, December 31, 2018 $ (1,435)  Net change during period (4)  Balance, June 30, 2019 $ (1,439) 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements  Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement  In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the recognition of an asset and liability for lease arrangements longer than twelve months. The Company adopted the new accounting standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method and elected the package of practical expedients for expired or existing contracts, which allowed the Company not to reassess (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company recorded right-of-use assets of $120,000 in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, and lease liabilities of $120,000 in aggregate in “Operating lease liabilities – current” and “other non-current liabilities” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet on the adoption date. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted  In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Entities may early adopt the ASU in their fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.  In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.  In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
