Abstract: An authoring tool for authoring wrap packages of cards. The authoring tool includes a set of tools that enable an author to create a new card of a wrap selected from a variety of card templates. In various embodiments, the card templates include textual, video, image/photo, document, gallery, chat, widgets, global components, location/GPS, transact, appointment, and end-of-wrap card templates. When a particular card template is selected, the template is then duplicated to create the new card. Thereafter, the author may author the card to include various components, content, attributes, layouts, styles triggers and/or behaviors. As the cards of the wrap are created, the authoring tool provides the author with the ability to order the sequence of the cards. The authoring tool thus enables authors to selectively create wrap packages that include media that conveys a narrative story and application functionality.

Abstract: A screen of a computing device displays a parent folder and child folders and digital objects contained within the parent; no other folders or objects are displayed. A user taps a child folder once and the child folder opens; displayed on the screen are any of its child folders and any digital objects contained within the original child folder. Once opened, the parent folder is no longer displayed and neither are any of its child folders or digital objects. A single tap upon an open folder moves up a level in the hierarchy; the child folders and digital objects of the open folder are removed from the display, and the parent folder of the open folder is displayed. Also displayed are any child folders of the parent folder and any digital objects contained within the parent folder. A single tap upon a functional icon creates a new child folder.

Abstract: Creating and delivering advertisements within wrapped packages of cards, which selectively include (i) media content, including advertisement(s) for item(s) available for purchase, (ii) application functionality and/or (iii) e-commerce related transactional services. By defining the sequence order in which the cards are navigated when consumed, wraps may deliver advertisements in the context of a “story” or “narrative”, which unfolds as the cards are sequentially browsed, similar to the turning of the pages of a book or magazine. Ads thus become more compelling. In addition, with built-in transactional functionality, advertised Item(s) can be immediately purchased without having to exit the wrap.

Abstract: A variety of data structures, components, runtime viewers and methods are described for defining, delivering and rendering wrapped packages of cards in a manner that is particularly well suited, but not limited to, display on mobile devices. Each card may selectively include media content, and a palette of application functionality and/or supporting e-commerce related services. The cards of the wrap packages are ideally threaded together into one or more linear sequences, and authored to convey a book-like narrative that unfolds as the cards are sequentially browsed. In addition, the wrap packages are portable objects that are readily distributed, similar to other electronic messages, through e-mail, messaging, social-media, or via a variety of other electronic communication platforms. As a result, wrap packages are consumable, sharable and savable objects.

Abstract: Delivery of a wrap package in response to the selection of an advertisement appearing in a web page, social media feed or in an email, text or other electronic message. In some embodiments, the advertisement may be a “cover” for the wrap package that contains an identifier associate with the wrap. When the cover is selected, the identifier is used to access and deliver the wrap package to the requesting device. In other embodiments, the advertisement may contain a link including the identifier that is then used to retrieve and deliver the wrap when the link is selected.

Abstract: Data structures, components, runtime viewers and methods are described for integrating wrapped packages of cards into various social media feeds and for integrating social media feeds into wraps. In some embodiments, a wrap identifier or cover is provided within a social media feed. In response to selection of the wrap identifier a runtime viewer is initiated and a descriptor that defines the selected wrap is obtained. The runtime viewer creates a wrap instance based on the descriptor. The instance may be displayed in-line within the social media feed, in an overlay frame, a new browser tab or using other suitable mechanisms. Preferably, each card in the wrap is rendered at the same portrait aspect ratio. Within each card, the relative positioning of the card content is immutable. In a separate aspect, a wrap package may include a social media card arranged to display a social media feed.

Abstract: An authoring tool for authoring a presentation of a wrap package of cards. The authoring tool enables creation of a vertically navigable card including a plurality of components that brows-able in the vertical direction and two or more horizontally navigable cards, each including components. When authoring is complete, the tool generates a portable data object and a URL for identifying and distributing the wrap package. When rendered on a consuming device, the wrap package, including the individual cards, has the same presentation as authored.

Abstract: Wrap packages of cards that integrate content and native advertising. When a wrapped package is created, the cards are selectively authored to include media content, native advertisement(s) and application functionality, typically but not necessarily, supporting e-commerce. In addition, the cards are authored into one or more linear sequences. As a result, when the wrap is consumed, the user experiences is a revealing of the media content, with the advertisement(s) and functionality intertwined therein, as the cards are sequentially browsed, analogous to the turning of the pages of a book or magazine.

Abstract: A method for defining and delivering wrap packages of cards with custom content to target individuals. The method involves (a) defining a set of cards of a wrap package with one or more variable content container(s), (b) ascertaining if a target recipient of the wrap package has roamed into a range of a beacon, (c) identifying the target recipient in the range of the beacon, (d) associating custom content with the one or more variable content container(s) of the set of cards of the wrap package after the target recipient is identified and (e) distributing the wrap package to the target recipient, the distributed wrap package having the custom content associated with the one or more variable content container(s) of the set of cards of the wrap package respectively.
