Abstract: The distribution of media clips stored on one or more servers is controlled using updateable permissions or rules defined by a content owner. The clip is made available from a server via a website, app or other source, for an end-user to view; the permissions or rules stored in memory are then updated; the permissions or rules are reviewed before the clip is subsequently made available, to ensure that any streaming or other distribution of the clip is in compliance with any updated permissions or rules.

Abstract: A wireless information devices can access betting related services by: (a) receiving and displaying the best odds on an event as automatically selected from odds offered by two or more bookmakers; (b) displaying an option to initiate placing a bet at the best odds; and (c) sending instructions to place the bet. This approach integrates an automated search function, that can identify the best available odds, with a mechanism to actually place a bet at the best odds. The automated search function avoids the need to display a long list of bookmakers names and related odds. This is the first step in simplifying the user interaction needed to place a bet. The second step is to integrate the display of the best odds with an option to initiate placing a bet. The option, if selected, sends instructions to place the bet.

Abstract: A web interaction system which enables a mobile telephone to interact automatically with web resources, in which the web interaction system comprises a query engine which operates on XML format data, translated from data obtained from a web site, the query engine parsing the XML into SAX events which are then queried by the query engine. Conventional query engines parse XML into a data object model (DOM) tree and not SAX events; DOM trees can however occupy significant memory space. SAX events on the other hand can be queried as parsing progresses (i.e. no need to wait for an entire DOM tree to be constructed before queries can be first performed). Not needing to wait for an entire web document to download is a major advantage since this would otherwise be a major bottleneck.
