  • Patent number: 11017152
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for optimizing the loading of a web page. The server receives indications (e.g., Document Object Model (DOM) elements) of web page elements of interest of a web page from multiple client devices. The server updates a list of web page elements for the requested web page that is sorted in terms of popularity based on these received indications of web page elements of interest. The server may then appropriately respond to a request to retrieve that web page by accessing such a list and transmitting to the browser of the requesting client device the data to populate the content of the web page elements for the requested web page in an order based on the sorted list. In this manner, the browser will be able to optimize the loading of the web page.

  • Patent number: 9734124
    Abstract: A method for managing a two-way form over a direct link is provided. The method includes establishing a communicative link between two communications clients each separately executing in memory by a processor of a corresponding one of two computers. The method also includes managing a two-way form rendered as individual instances of the two-way form each in a corresponding content browser executing in a corresponding one of the two computers. Finally, the method includes exchanging synchronization information for the two-way form over the communicative link. In one aspect of the embodiment, the method also includes prompting in one of the individual instances of the two-way form for verification of an update to a field providing in another of the individual instances of the two-way form. In another aspect of the embodiment, the method includes recording a verification of the update to the field in an audit trail.

  • Patent number: 9565161
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for electronically communicating a correct Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The browser detects a copying of a URL to be placed in an electronic communication. In response to determining that the URL specifies an address of a loopback interface of the computing device via a localhost, the browser obtains the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computing device hosting the resource (e.g., application) referenced by the URL. The browser replaces the localhost in the URL with either the FQDN or IP address of the computing device. The modified URL is then made available to be shared with other users via electronic communication. In this manner, the localhost is automatically replaced with the correct domain name or IP address thereby ensuring that third party users will be able to retrieve the resource hosted on the computing device.

  • Patent number: 9465601
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and/or computer program product configure an extended virtual machine. A virtual image is executed to initialize a virtual machine. An activation engine is activated to search for special extensions in the virtual image. The virtual machine scans at least one virtual disk for script to implement the special extensions as virtual machine extensions, such that the virtual machine reads and executes the extensions prior to being available for use.

  • Patent number: 9378298
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to prioritizing the loading of a portion of a web page based on a user designation. An aspect includes providing a user interface for controlling page loading. A user selection of a portion of a web page is received at a server for priority loading. Accordingly, the loading of the portion of the web page is then prioritized based on the user selection. Embodiments further disclose measuring page loading analytics for a plurality of users. The loading of a portion of a web page may be prioritized based on the measured page loading analytics for the plurality of users. Responsive to subsequent page accesses from one of the plurality of users, the prioritized portion of the page is loaded.
