Abstract: Software can also be used via a remote application window, remote desktop window, or remote graphical windowing user session window. The present invention describes how software (application, desktop, or graphical windowing user session) can know whether or not it is running in local or remote mode, and control its handling of functionalities accordingly. The software does this by checking a variable set in the windowing session by the operating system. System, method, and apparatus for providing a toggleable remoting mode for computer operating systems is provided.

Abstract: System, method, and apparatus are described for enabling the lookup of metadata about navigational links on the Internet, from a centralized system. The present invention offers a Link Metadata System (“LMS”), available on the Internet, of information associated with any given, specific Internet domain and URL or URI path combination (the “link”). Software browsing user agents are then configured with the ability to request information from the LMS and perform actions based on the received information which can include navigation. The invention provides for, upon navigational action by a user on a link on a client web browser, sending a request for information to a lookup server, looking up information, using the link, in a lookup server and receiving, from the lookup server, a response with a payload of the requested information.

Abstract: A method and computer readable medium is described for directing a user's local web browser to refresh the top-level container that is currently displaying the content presented by a remote computer with the new content that a navigational link, within the remote desktop, remote desktop application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, points to. Links can be modified so as to be recognizable by the remote machine as unique from traditional hyperlinks. Upon navigation action on such a link, the client of a remote graphical computer desktop, remote graphical application window or remote graphical windowing user session is redirected so that it wholly reloads its computing context with that provided by a destination URL or URI. Such a URL or URI may point to another remote graphical computer desktop, remote application window or remote graphical windowing user session.

Abstract: An improved system and method for presenting computerized interactive forms (such as survey questionnaires, employment applications, etc.) via the Internet to human respondents making use of client computers. The invention is a cross-platform web application written in Java and JavaScript. The presented questions/items are selected dynamically as a respondent fills in the information for each question/item. A code-length-reducing software architecture—wherein all objects are widgets—along with a design choice of inheritance makes for maximum code clarity, impressive code compactness, and swift parsing. More information and a higher quality of information are collected from a respondent, because waiting time is reduced and only relevant questions are presented. Implementation of parent-child containment in the widget set, coupled with a JavaScript skeleton design system, facilitates respondent-friendly display design by interface designers, and a rapid design process.
