  • Patent number: 7415021
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates moving an original method from a source class to a destination class and for constructing a corresponding forwarding method in the source class that preserves null semantics. During operation, the system translates the original method from the source class into a corresponding moved method, and then incorporates the moved method into the destination class. The system also constructs a forwarding method that invokes the moved method in the destination class. The system then replaces the original method in the source class with the forwarding method. In this way, invoking the forwarding method in the source class causes the moved method to be invoked in the destination class. While constructing the forwarding method, the system generates code that checks whether a “source parameter” of the original method whose class matches the destination class is null. If so, the generated code executes the body of the original method.

  • Patent number: 7240289
    Abstract: An intuitive graphical user interface is based upon a geographic map structure, and includes a system for controlling remote external electronic devices. In the defined graphical user interface, each space of the geographic map structure is rendered on a touch screen display as a graphic image of a geographic space. Within each space are colored cartoon-like icons called “objects” which can be selected and manipulated by the user. Certain objects, referred to as portals, transport the user from one space to another space when Selected. Other objects, referred to as buttons, perform associated actions or functions when Selected. The graphical user interface is displayed on a hand-held display device used to control remote devices. Each remote electronic device transmits a user interface program object that defines a graphical user interface to the display device.

  • Patent number: 7080363
    Abstract: A program interpreter for computer programs written in a bytecode language, which uses a restricted set of data type specific bytecodes. The interpreter, prior to executing any bytecode program, executes a bytecode program verifier procedure that verifies the integrity of a specified program by identifying any bytecode instruction that would process data of the wrong type for such a bytecode and any bytecode instruction sequences in the specified program that would cause underflow or overflow of the operand stack. If the program verifier finds any instructions that violate predefined stack usage and data type usage restrictions, execution of the program by the interpreter is prevented. After pre-processing of the program by the verifier, if no program faults were found, the interpreter executes the program without performing operand stack overflow and underflow checks and without performing data type checks on operands stored in operand stack. As a result, program execution speed is greatly improved.

  • Patent number: 6704923
    Abstract: The present invention provides a verifier for use in conjunction with programs utilizing data type specific bytecodes for verifying the proper operation of the executable program prior to actual execution by a host processor. A verifier is provided which includes a virtual stack for temporarily storing stack information which parallels the typical stack operations required during the execution a bytecode program. The verifier also includes a stack snapshot storage structure having a snapshot directory and stack snapshot storage area for storing the state of the virtual stack at various points during program verification so as to assure proper stack manipulations by the source program. A two step source program verification process is provided for in which the source program is initially loaded into the verifier and a first pass source program evaluation is performed.

  • Patent number: 6618754
    Abstract: A system and method for transmitting embedded applications over a network is disclosed, wherein a user of a computer-controlled network client, such as a remote control device used for controlling a network of computer-controlled home entertainment devices, or a Web browser running on a Web client, can request and receive compound documents that include embedded applications and/or data files that can only be processed (i.e., imaged or played) by handlers that are not resident on the client. In addition to embedded documents, the compound documents that are transmitted over the network can reference flat files (e.g, image, audio, or text files), and other compound documents. Whenever a client receives a compound document, the client determines whether it has access to all of the documents referenced in the compound document and, if not, requests the documents to which it does not have local access.

  • Publication number: 20030055848
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for archiving and clearing a document for publication. Upon receiving the document, the system takes actions to archive the document in a database. In doing so, the system automatically records a date upon which the document is archived. Next, the system receives a request to clear the document for publication. This causes the system to send an approval request to a first clearing authority. Upon receiving an approval from the first clearing authority, the system proceeds to clear the document for publication. Otherwise, if a denial is received from the first clearing authority, the system prevents the document from being cleared for publication. In one embodiment of the present invention, when the system receives an approval from the first clearing authority, the system sends an approval request to a second clearing authority. Upon receiving an approval from the second clearing authority, the system clears the document for publication.

  • Patent number: RE38104
    Abstract: A hybrid compiler-interpreter comprising a compiler for “compiling” source program code, and an interpreter for interpreting the “compiled” code, is provided to a computer system. The compiler comprises a code generator that generates code in intermediate form with data references made on a symbolic basis. The interpreter comprises a main interpretation routine, and two data reference handling routines, a dynamic field reference routine for handling symbolic references, and a static field reference routine for handling numeric references. The dynamic field reference routine, when invoked, resolves a symbolic reference and rewrites the symbolic reference into a numeric reference. After re-writing, the dynamic field reference routine returns to the main interpretation routine without advancing program execution to the next instruction, thereby allowing the rewritten instruction with numeric reference to be reexecuted.
