Abstract: System and method for providing a dynamic advertising content manifestation window within a windows based content manifestation environment provided within a web browser. The system and method include and involve an server system configured to transmit a software system and data related to a advertising content source via an electronic data network. Also included and involved is a web browser client operating within a data processing system that is coupled to the server system via the electronic data network. The web browser provides a content manifestation environment. The web browser client is operative to receive the software system and the data via the server system, to process the software system and the data to produce a window object within the content manifestation environment provided by the web browser client. The window object is configured to dynamically manifest therein advertising content received from the advertising content source in accordance with the data.

Abstract: A realtime electronic communications system utilizes an instant-messaging server. A first computer includes a first instant-messaging client. The first client is adapted for logging the first computer in to the server, and communicating to the server connecting information of the first computer. A second computer includes a second instant-messaging client. The second client is adapted for logging the second computer in to the server, and communicating to the server connecting information of the second computer. An external device is operatively connected to the second computer. Respective connecting information of the first and second computers is utilized for effecting realtime peer-to-peer communication between the first and second computers, whereby the first computer interfaces with the external device in realtime.

Abstract: System and method for facilitating a windowed content manifestation environment within a world wide web (WWW) browser client. The system and method include and involve a server system that is configured to serve a software system and associated content via an electronic data network such as the Internet and WWW. Also included and involved is a web browser client (web browser software application) operating within a data processing system that is coupled to said server system via the electronic data network and which instantiates a content manifestation environment (e.g., a dynamic screen display environment within the data processing system). The web browser client is operative to receive the software system and the associated content via the server system, to process the software system and the associated content to produce at least one window object within the content manifestation environment.

The generated window object(s) are each associated with a set of controllable attributes and are configured to manifest at least a portion of the associated content.

Abstract: A network client such as a WWW browser configured to facilitate a windowed content manifestation environment (CME) which is configured to operate within a data processing system and to receive content from a remote server system to facilitate a windowed content manifestation environment. In particular, the customized WWW browser application includes a content retrieval module configured to receive content from a network server system via an electronic data network, and a processing engine coupled to the content retrieval module. The processing engine is configured to provide a content manifestation environment within the data processing system, and to process the content to produce at least one corresponding window object within the content manifestation environment. The corresponding window object(s) are configured to manifest at least a portion of the content therein.

Abstract: A system for providing a dynamic shopping cart window within a windows-based content manifestation environment provided within a Web browser includes a server system configured to transmit a software system and data related to a shopping list from a shopping list content source via an electronic data network. A Web browser client is provided operating within a data processing system that is coupled to said server system via the electronic data network and having a content manifestation environment. The Web browser client is operative to receive said software system and said data via said server system to process said software system and said data to produce a controllable shopping cart window object within said content manifestation environment of said Web browser client. The controllable shopping cart window object is configured to dynamically manifest therein the shopping list received from the shopping list content source in accordance with said data.
