Patent number: 7987431Abstract: A computerized method of presenting information from a variety of sources on a display device. Specifically the present disclosure presents a graphical user interface for organizing the simultaneous display of information from a multitude of information sources. In particular, the present technology comprises a graphical user interface which organizes content from a variety of information sources into a grid of tiles, each of which can refresh its content independently of the others. The grid functionality manages the refresh rates of the multiple information sources. Both a grid and individual tiles may be communicated independently of one another to other devices or users. According to some embodiments, the method of the present invention allocates refresh rates to tiles according to priorities that are assigned based on identifiers such as quality of service (QoS) tags associated with one or more of the information sources. The present invention is intended to operate in a platform independent manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2008Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Surfcast, Inc.Inventors: Ovid Santoro, Klaus Lagermann, Tom Dechaene
