    Abstract: The disclosure teaches a hierarchical multidimensional interfaces for navigating information, responsive to user feedback in the placement and appearance of navigation panes The way a user views the contents of a menu pane is to move the mouse toward the particular menu pane. When a cursor is hovering over a pane, it may be highlighted. When the cursor is subsequently moved toward any inactive pane, a preview of that pane slides into view, showing only part of the pane. The closer the cursor gets to the pane, the larger the preview area becomes and if the user moves the mouse away frin an inactive pane, its preview becomes smaller. Once the cursor crosses over to a pane different from the currently viewed, that pane slides into view. A user only need select a menu item when one wishes to navigate to a URL or application external to a navigation system.

  • Publication number: 20200019584
    Abstract: The Supra Boundary Web Compositor Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SBWC”) transforms webpage request inputs via SBWC components into composited expandable element outputs. A top level listening (TLL) component that creates a node list of first level frames is provided. The TLL component executes components provided by a frame busting (FB) component. A first frame obtains a frame escaping (FE) component. The FE component generates a unique frame identifier and creates a second frame that obtains the FB component. The FE component listens for TLL messages, determines a node list identifier of a first level frame, and sends the node list identifier to the FB component. The FB component generates a component that facilitates determining which first level frame contains associated expandable display payload. The FB component listens for FE messages, determines the node list identifier, and generates a component that facilitates rebuilding the expandable display payload in webpage top level.

  • Publication number: 20150039442
    Abstract: The MULTIPLE-RESOLUTION, INFORMATION-ENGINEERED, SELF-IMPROVING ADVERTISING AND INFORMATION ACCESS APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“MISAIA”) transforms content and content identifier inputs via MISAIA components into self-engineered, self-improving advertisements and information accessing unique persistent universal name identifier (UPUNI) outputs. MISAIA receives a request for a unique persistent universal name identifier (UPUNI) from a requesting client accessing content, obtains an UPUNI menu specification, if the UPUNI menu specification exists, obtains UPUNI record information from an UPUNI directory, generates an UPUNI menu specification from metadata in the UPUNI directory, if one is unavailable, stores the UPUNI menu specification, in the UPUNI directory, in an UPUNI syndicator, generates an UPUNI menu from the UPUNI menu specification, and provides via a processor the UPUNI menu to the requesting client that is responsive to the request.
