Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed toward a content marketplace where digital content can be offered for use by licensees in exchange for a license from a licensor. In some embodiments the content marketplace can provide this licensing forum without hosting the digital content. Instead, the content market place can provide links to the digital content at a digital content host (e.g. third party website). For instance, the content marketplace can embed the digital content into the content market place by embedding an Internet address that points to the digital content at the digital content host. In some embodiments the content marketplace can also provide, among other things, searchable index of digital content available for license, license attributes for license agreements, descriptions of the digital content, and/or standard licenses that can be agreed upon.

Abstract: A method for distributing time-based media files includes executing an agreement with a subscriber that relates to a plurality of time-based media files. The method also includes communicating to the subscriber an identifier for transmission to a plurality of display devices. The identifier identifies a location of at least a portion of the time-based media files associated with the agreement. The method also includes receiving a media request from one of a plurality of display devices that receive the identifier from the subscriber. The media request includes the bin identifier. The method also includes, in response to receiving the media request, transmitting a plurality of media files associated with the agreement to the display device that transmitted the media request.

Abstract: A method for displaying information includes receiving input from a user and adjusting a location of a cursor within a user interface based on the input. The method also includes determining whether the user has moved the cursor into a first portion of the user interface and initiating display of video content within the first portion in response to determining that the user has moved the cursor into the first portion.

Abstract: A system for providing automatically collecting data relating to information resources in a computerized environment. The system in a descriptive embodiment, the system collects data regarding the information in the storage device. The system examines the information resources, both as it is developed and prior to the installation of the system. Data is extracted and organized. Explicit and inferred relationships are determined about the information resources.

Abstract: A system for determining relationships between information resources. The system of this preferred embodiment is able to determine relationships between information resources by both explicit means through similarities in characteristics and content of the information resources and by inferring relationships by other similarities, including but not limited to indirect data, observations, attributes, assumptions and other means.

Abstract: A system for collecting information regarding user activity in a computerized environment. The system in a descriptive embodiment, activity focus of the user is inferred. Then data is retrieved regarding the activity of the user. The system monitors the events occurring due to the interaction of the user and the computer system. Thus, the system is able to determine when the user changes activity focus.

Abstract: A system for providing information relating to a user activity focus. The system in a descriptive embodiment, provides the contextual information implicitly, without the need for user intervention. In this preferred embodiment the system first collects data regarding the information in the storage device. The activity focus of the user is also inferred by the system. Then data is retrieved regarding the activity of the user. The system displays relevant data by way of a user interface display. The system monitors the events occurring due to the interaction of the user and the computer system. Thus, the system is able to determine when the user changes activity focus, retrieve data relevant to the new focus and display that relevant data.

Abstract: A method for managing a plurality of information resources in a computerized environment comprises collecting data relating to the plurality of information resources to determine relationships among the plurality of information resources, determining a current focus of the user, identifying information resources related to the current focus based on the determined relationships, and, making the identified information resources available for selection by the user.
