Abstract: A method and system for helping a user efficiently browse an electronic document using data-driven tabs. A datasheet providing technical details of a corresponding user module is scanned for indicators (e.g., embedded anchors), wherein a user module is a pre-configured circuit design operating on a microcontroller. The indicators are for indicating a predetermined location within the datasheet. The datasheet description is read and graphic elements (e.g., tabs) are automatically rendered for each corresponding indicator, wherein a graphic element is rendered according to information within the indicator. Interacting with one of the graphic elements allows a user to jump to a predetermined location within the datasheet. The graphic elements are operable for efficient navigation of the datasheet, allowing for a large datasheet to be easily viewed in a small area of a display.

Abstract: This invention claims a novel software application that facilitates streaming and mixing audio and/or video with nearly zero latency, using a computer having Windows or Linux operating systems. Typical computer operating systems are not structured sufficiently to transmit or receive audio and/or video data in a real time. Alternatively, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Field Programmable Arrays (FPGAs} are used to transmit and receive audio and/or video data via the network. This requires extra hardware, space and cost. The attributes of this invention are significant contributions to successful products in modern markets.
