Abstract: A social network includes a relay server and two or more mobile Internet devices (“MIDs”) coupled to the relay server. Each of the MIDs includes a relay agent for interfacing with the relay server, a web server, an application for operating the web server, and a memory for storing social networking information comprising a contacts list, one or more access groups, one or more albums, and one or more associations between the one or more access groups and the one or more albums to specify which contacts can view which albums.

Abstract: A relay server is coupled to a URL database within an open firewall. First and second Internet devices are configured for communication with the relay server and include respective first and second websites behind closed firewalls, wherein the second website is operative as a “fallback” website to the first website. A web browser on a client Internet device is connected to the relay server. The relay server is provided with software to facilitate communication between the web browser and the first Internet device website so that if the first Internet device website goes offline, the relay server will connect the web browser to the fallback website on the second Internet device.

Abstract: A system for connecting to a mobile web server having a dynamic IP address includes a mobile proxy (MP) server connectable to the client software, the MP server including a proxy server software and an IP agent server. An Internet device is connectable to the MP server, and includes a mobile web server and an IP agent client.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for processing a markup language file having one or more portions. Specifically, the system downloads a first markup language file using the hyper text transfer protocol and references the first markup language file by its uniform resource location or by a name of a local file on a system on which a user is operating. The first markup language is parsed for one or more portions of the first markup language file. Each portion of the first markup language file is stored into a directory structure containing folders, subfolders, and files complying with the structure of the first markup language file.

Abstract: A mobile Internet device (MID) having an operating system, a user interface framework, and telephony functionality. A web server is integrated into the operating system and configured for servicing HTTP requests. Telephony functionality is operable by said OS. Multiple such MID's are configurable as a peer-to-peer network, or peer-to-peer social network.

Abstract: A Mobile Internet Device (“MID”) includes an operating system and a framework. The operating system includes a first web server configured for use at the operating system level, wherein the first web server includes a script interpreter and is connectable to an Internet browser via the Internet for receiving requests from the browser. The framework includes a second web server configured to operate at the framework level and adapted for communication with the first web server, wherein the second web server further includes methods dedicated to encapsulating framework functions.

Abstract: A server computer coupled to a distributed advertising system network has a web server adapted for running a web application having access to advertiser metadata and other advertiser data. A client computer coupled to the network includes first software configured to collect and save in first memory user data locally in a user device, but not send that data to the server computer, second software configured to download via the network from the web server and save in a first memory advertiser metadata in a manner where the entire advertiser metadata file needs to be downloaded every time, and third software configured, when accessing a website or social network, to match local data against the local copy of advertiser metadata residing at the user's device, and if there are desirable advertisers to display, to download parts of the other advertiser data related to those advertisers and display targeted ads.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a computer application is disclosed. The computer application is generated on a host system in an arbitrary object framework that separates a content of said computer application, a form of said computer application and a functionality of said computer application. Arbitrary objects are created with corresponding arbitrary names of various object types for generating said content of said computer application, said form of said computer application, and said functionality of said computer application. The arbitrary objects are managed in an object library. The arbitrary objects are deployed from said object library into a design framework to create said computer application.

Abstract: A system for running an Internet server behind a closed firewall, wherein a relay agent (RA) is coupled through a closed firewall to relay server software (RSS) for initiating communications with the RSS, receiving an end-user request from the RSS, for forwarding the end-user request to an Internet server, for receiving a response from the Internet server, and for forwarding the response to the RSS for forwarding to an end-user client software.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for gathering data from a web-based server, transmitting the data to a web-based client, and storing the data on the web-based client. The web-based server translates data from a data supplier's proprietary data model into a data consumer's proprietary data model using a data mapping function. The web-based server also converts data from a structured data format to a markup language format. The web-based client periodically polls one or more data servers for data. The web-based client receives data in a markup language format and translates it into a structured data format, then stores it in a database. The web-based client and the web-based server can collaborate with each other to streamline the data conversion and translation process.

Abstract: A system and method for generating computer applications in an arbitrary object framework. The method separates content, form, and function of the computer application so that each may be accessed or modified separately. The method includes creating arbitrary objects, managing the arbitrary objects throughout their life cycle in an object library, and deploying the arbitrary objects in a design framework for use in complex computer applications.

Abstract: A system for transmitting images and methods of manufacturing and using the same. The system for transmitting images includes a camera, a fiber optic cable, and a display system. The camera comprises a lens system for receiving light signals from one or more still and/or moving objects to be imaged. Upon receiving the light signals, the lens system intensifies the light signals to produce a substantially-reduced image of the objects and communicates the entire substantially-reduced image in real-time to a lens system of the display system via a single filament of the fiber optic cable. The lens system of the display system then deminiaturizes (or magnifies) the substantially-reduced image to produce an expanded image of the objects. The expanded image, which is continuously updated by the lens system of the camera to generate real-time still and/or moving images, is visibly presented by the display system.
