  • Patent number: 9021522
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for processing iTV. A request to play a first interactive television signal at a first electronic device is received. A first virtual machine for processing the first interactive television signal is instantiated at the first electronic device. A first file that includes information associated with playing interactive TV on the first electronic device is accessed from non-volatile storage on the first electronic device. A request to play a second interactive television signal at a second electronic device that is communicatively coupled to the first electronic device is received. A second virtual machine for processing the second interactive television signal is instantiated at the first device. A second file that includes information associated with playing interactive TV on the second electronic device is stored in non-volatile storage on the first electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20090249426
    Abstract: A broadcast interactive television service provides broadcast content received through a broadcast and supplemental content retrieved over a network. The broadcast content may include a broadcast markup language (BML) file which is parsed to provide an interface to the user. If the BML file contains information regarding the location or other information for supplemental content, the supplemental content can be retrieved from over a network and provide through the interface. Once presentation of the supplemental content has completed, the state of the interface may return to that associated with the BML file.

  • Patent number: 7539971
    Abstract: A development tool enables a device database to be created, managed, and deployed to a device as part of the a device project. The device database may have an installation property which provides logic for installing the device database at the device. Additionally, stored procedures and triggers may be registered with the device database. The registered stored procedures and triggers may be embedded in the device database and deployed to the device along with the device database.

  • Publication number: 20090112915
    Abstract: Data-driven applications are often designed to couple with a remote data store, such as a relational database server. It may be difficult for developers to implement complex details of the synchronization, including data caching and concurrency management, and developers may be unable to use synchronization code libraries without specialized knowledge of such issues. A data-binding model may be provided to simplify the developer's task of coupling a class in a data-driven application with a remote data store. The development platform may allow the developer to specify the data-bound properties of a class and the aspects of a remote data store for the binding relationship, and may automatically reconfigure the class to implement the many details of binding to the remote data store.
