  • Patent number: 8965932
    Abstract: A method of sequencing and scheduling web resources, via a software application that collects URLs and feeds them to a Web browser, so that the amount of clicks and decisions are reduced when browsing the Internet. The method begins after a computer user with Net-access encounters a URL that leads to a collection of other URLs that the software application has arranged to be presented in a continuous, show manner. This collection of resources then plays automatically, going from one resource to the next without the user being required to make a decision or click. The decision-making process is not inhibited, it is made optional. A method of inserting full-screen advertising, public service announcements, news, etc. has been developed. The server software application module described herein allows a publisher to stream URLs to a user who does not have the client-side software.

  • Patent number: 8738655
    Abstract: A system for providing content on a user's computer, obtained from a plurality of resources in an organized arrangement, includes a server configured to provide a show structure of nodes, each node identifying a resource from a plurality of accessible resources, at least some of which are network accessible resources. The server is further configured to cause content corresponding to a plurality of the nodes to be automatically accessed and presented to the user in accordance with the show structure without requiring user input, where the show structure further comprises interactively variable duration information for the plurality of nodes representing the duration that the content corresponding to each of the nodes is presented, where the interactively variable duration information is provided so as to enable a user to vary the duration.
