  • Method and apparatus for applying an adaptive layout process to a layout template
    Patent number: 6772144
    Abstract: A system retrieves a first template associated with data identified in a data request. A second template is generated using the first template and a device description, which is associated with a device generating the data request. The first template is device independent and the second template is associated with the specific device generating the data request as well as the first template. The second template defines a data presentation format for displaying the requested data on the type of device that generated the data request. The second template is stored in a cache, which allows the second template to be used with multiple sets of data without regenerating the template. The requested data is retrieved from a data source and formatted based on the second template. The formatted data is then transmitted to the device generating the data request.

  • Method and system for modeling and presenting integrated media with a declarative modeling language for representing reactive behavior
    Patent number: 5764241
    Abstract: A method and system for modeling interactive animation and other integrated media includes support for a declarative modeling language and a system for presenting media represented in a declarative language model. The modeling language enables authors to represent natural or modeled media in a compact model, and it allows for the explicit description of time varying behavior as well as reactive behavior, which occurs in response to discrete events. The system compiles or interprets the model, optimizes it, and controls the presentation of media represented in it.
