Patent number: 10693821Abstract: A system and method for delivering text, media, and inline interactive data (called message content) encapsulated in a message-based conversation has been devised. Content of multiple types are rendered and manipulated using interactive program code objects, downloaded when first needed from a repository, present on the message device. Inline interactive data can be shared and manipulated by participants in a message conversation as part of and in context with the ongoing conversation. Sharing and data integrity of the inline interactive data as well as conversation participant authentication, privileges and conversation security is managed by a central message server.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Inventors: Michael McEvoy, Jamie Faye Fenton, David Temkin

Patent number: 9600158Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are disclosed for aggregating information and digital services into an interactive user interface. In accordance with certain embodiments, computerized systems and methods are provided that display a plurality of tiles for a plurality of sources, the plurality of sources being provided by at least a first information provider and a second information provider. The systems and methods may further include receiving a selection of content within a first tile in the plurality of tiles, the content being provided by the first information provider. The systems and methods may further include dragging, based on input from the first user, the selected content onto a second tile linked to the second information provider. The systems and methods may further include sending, based on the dragging, the selected content to the second information provider to share the selected content with a second user.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: AOL Inc.Inventors: David Temkin, Oliver Steele, Jim Sabia, Thomas Andrew McDonald, Michael John Ackerman, Lorien Mae Henry-Wilkins, Sarah Allen

Patent number: 9038145Abstract: A user's set top box (STB), or other client, executes a shell and has an application program interface (API) by which certain features of the client can be controlled. The client is in communication with a walled garden proxy server (WGPS). The client sends a request to the WGPS to access a service provided by a site in the garden. The site sends the client a message containing code calling a function in the API. The WGPS traps the message from the site and looks up the site in a table to determine the access control list (ACL) for the site. The WGPS includes the ACL in the header of the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) message to the client. The shell receives the message and extracts the ACL. If the code lacks permission, the shell stops execution.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: At Home BondHolders' Liquidating TrustInventors: Ralph William Brown, Milo S. Medin, Robert Keller, David Temkin

Patent number: 8209427Abstract: A user's set top box (STB), or other client, executes a shell and has an application program interface (API) by which certain features of the client can be controlled. The client is in communication with a walled garden proxy server (WGPS), which controls access to a walled garden. The walled garden contains links to one or more servers providing network-based services. The client sends a request to the WGPS to access a service provided by a site in the garden. To provide the service, the site sends the client a message containing code calling a function in the API. The WGPS traps the message from the site and looks up the site in a table to determine the access control list (ACL) for the site. The ACL is a bit-map that specifies which functions of the client's API can be invoked by code from the site. The WGPS includes the ACL in the header of the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) message to the client. The shell receives the message and extracts the ACL.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: At Home Bondholders' Liquidating TrustInventors: Ralph William Brown, Milo S.

Publication number: 20070083486Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2006Publication date: April 12, 2007Applicant: LASZLO SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Eric Bloch, Max Carlson, Pablo Kang, Christopher Kimm, Oliver Steele, David Temkin

Publication number: 20060026526Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2005Publication date: February 2, 2006Inventors: J.

Publication number: 20050114871Abstract: A method for decreasing a computer application's start-up time. In one aspect, the method comprises: creating a serialized representation of application objects in a runtime environment; building an object code file using the serialized representation; and providing the application to a new runtime environment. In another embodiment the method may include the steps of: compiling an application provided in an source language; initializing the application in a runtime environment; and creating a serialized representation of the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2003Publication date: May 26, 2005Inventors: Adam Wolff, Oliver Steele, David Temkin, P.

Publication number: 20050108655Abstract: Multiple applications are displayed. A request to change a display of a first application is received. A determination is made regarding how displays for one or more other applications should change in response to changing the display of the first application in order to avoid conflict with the display of the first application. The display of the first application is changed. The one or more displays for the one or more other applications are automatically changed in response to changing the display of the first application in order to avoid conflict with the display of the first application.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2003Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventors: Peter Andrea, J.
