Publication number: 20040139396Abstract: An enterprise, stream-based system of organizing, storing, retrieving, and displaying information, using top-down or bottom-up topologies or a combination of the two, and providing access to wireless devices that display contracted forms of streams of objects while other end-user devices can display the streams as partly overlapping, receding streams of objects that contain more displayed information. The two types of end-user devices nevertheless use the same or essentially the same methodology in dealing with stream document objects. The system automatically converts diverse kinds of original documents that can come from diverse sources and applications, into stream document objects (SDOs) that conform to a standard format and can be handled the same way in the system, efficiently and consistently in the way people think and look for information.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2003Publication date: July 15, 2004Inventors: David H.
