  • Publication number: 20170068680
    Abstract: Method and device for information exchange and routing by providing items of information that are organized in discrete flows to third parties. Relationships are defined among the flows such that at least one item of information in at least a first discrete flow is selectively copied to at least a second discrete flow. This allows users to easily discover and exchange real-time items of information across applications.

  • Publication number: 20080071883
    Abstract: The invention provides a hosted application services platform and method its use that facilitates the proliferation of web-based components. The components include features, attributes and control objects that can be modified during design and after deployment. Instructions are provided that facilitate the expression of the features, attributes and control objects on web pages, and further allow for the copying of the components from website to website such that modifications to the features and/or attributes are automatically incorporated into the copied component whenever the component is expressed.

  • Publication number: 20060048185
    Abstract: A method and apparatus that includes a central repository for a plurality of videos, which are associated with a category. Once the video is uploaded or stored at the central repository, it is reviewed to determine whether what type of access, if any, should associated with the video. A tracking device can be used to determine the number of requests that are made for he video or how many times the video has been viewed. The central repository is available through a remote access point, which enables the videos to be access from almost any location.

  • Publication number: 20060048186
    Abstract: A method and apparatus that enables a remote application platform the ability to allow any Internet website to receive and play video contributions from its users. The application platform provides websites with a number of functions related to uploaded videos that requires only that websites place relevant code on their web pages. Among other things, videos may be approved, listed, played, rated, distributed and discussed. Once videos are uploaded and stored at a central repository, they are reviewed to determine the type of access, if any, that should be associated with a given video. A tracking device can be used to determine the number of requests that are made for a given video or how many times a video has been viewed. The central repository is available through a remote access point, which enables the videos to be access from any location or website.
