Patent number: 7954066Abstract: An interface engine provides animated views in a user interface. The interface engine directs the operation of a rendering environment to create an interface in a rendering area. The interface engine includes views, layouts, animators, and constraints. Views identify child views and resources for display in the rendering area. In response to events, such as user inputs, a view modifies itself by calling layouts, animators, and constraints. A layout manages the attributes of a view's child views, including child view position and size. An animator modifies the view's appearance over a specified period of time. A constraint imposes limits on view properties. In one implementation, an Internet site delivers an interface engine to a browser to supply content and a user interface. A presentation server compiles an interface engine description and specified resources into an interface engine.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2005Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Laszlo Systems, Inc.Inventors: J. Bret Simister, Adam G. Wolff, Max David Carlson, Christopher Kimm, David T. Temkin

Patent number: 7752256Abstract: A server is disclosed that presents content to a client. The server receives a request for particular content. In response to the request, the server accesses data and/or code that describes the particular content. The server compiles that code and/or data to create executable code, and transmits the executable code to the client for execution on the client. In one embodiment, the code describing the particular content is a mark-up language description. In various implementations, the executable code includes a user interface that provides access to the requested content.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2002Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Laszlo Systems, Inc.Inventors: Eric D. Bloch, Max D. Carlson, Christopher Kimm, James B. Simister, Oliver W. Steele, David T. Temkin, Adam G. Wolff

Patent number: 7680941Abstract: The present invention provides software developers with the capability to create applications that can access information online and offline without having to program such capabilities into their applications. An application can gather information from various remote data sources via a network or other communication means, and still have access to all or a portion of that information when the computing device running the application is no longer connected to the network. In one embodiment, a client manages information access, caching and synchronization for the application. When connected, information accessed is stored in a local data store on (or near) the computing device. When disconnected, requests are run against the local data store instead of the remote data source. When reconnected, information is synchronized between the local data store and the remote data source.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Laszlo Systems, Inc.Inventors: Eric D. Bloch, Max D. Carlson, Pablo Kang, Christopher Kimm, Oliver W. Steele, David T. Temkin
