Publication number: 20170199864Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2016Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: Eric H. GREENBERG, John M. GARRIS, Ian MCFARLAND, Jared L. FICKLIN, Mark E. ROLSTON, Matthew J. SANTONE, Jon STEVENS, Eric J. WICKS

Publication number: 20170115852Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2016Publication date: April 27, 2017Inventors: Jared L. FICKLIN, Matthew J. SANTONE, Ian MCFARLAND

Patent number: 9600464Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Wrap Media, LLCInventors: Eric H.

Patent number: 9600594Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Wrap Media, LLCInventors: Eric H.

Publication number: 20160196244Abstract: A variety of data structures, components, runtime viewers and methods are described for defining, delivering and rendering wrapped packages of cards in a manner particularly well suited, but not limited to, display on mobile devices. Each card may selectively include media content, a palette of application functionality and/or supporting e-commerce related services. A wrap descriptor, composed of a plurality of card descriptors defines the structure, layout and content of a set of cards that constitute the wrap. The wrap descriptor may take the form of a JSON data object. A runtime viewer that executes on the rendering computing device may be used to transform the wrap descriptor into a runtime instance of the wrap that includes the content and functionality defined by the descriptor. In some implementations, the runtime viewer creates an object graph, which may then be converted to an object model suitable for rendering on the consuming device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Eric H.
