  • Patent number: 11720220
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may obtain a graphical user interface (GUI) template that includes tiles corresponding to plug-ins. The system may generate, from the GUI template, category GUIs corresponding to categories and including a subset of the tiles. The system may identify account identifier(s) associated with a user identifier and one or more of the categories. The system may generate a user-specific GUI associated with a user account associated with the user identifier and including a subset of the category GUIs based on the account identifier(s). The the plug-ins corresponding to the subset of the tiles may incorporate account data associated with at least one of the user account or the account identifier(s). The system may transmit, to a user device associated with the user account, the user-specific GUI.

    Abstract: A content management system (CMS) includes a value-add application with a first set of XML content services, one or more dedicated XML processing servers with a second and other sets of XML content services, and a core CMS with a third set of XML content services. The content management system may be designed to provide XML content services at any of these three tiers of processing. A first threshold is defined that allows the value-add application to determine when to offload XML content services to a dedicated XML processing server. A second threshold is defined that allows the core CMS to determine when to offload XML content services to a dedicated XML processing server. Callback services are included that allow each tier of XML content services to send or receive additional information to complete the XML processing. The result is a content management system that is very powerful and flexible.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic display of scaled and/or resized images that fit within pre-defined areas in a web browser are disclosed. The method may be implemented using an image scaling JavaScript component embedded within a HTML document. Upon resizing the a client document browser in which the document is displayed, the component is resized and requests, receives and redisplays a resized image within the resized component from a server. By having the server perform the resizing, the resized image not only fits within the resized component but also maintains the quality of the image without the need for special client-side software.
