Patent number: 8412753Abstract: An application program interface (API) provides means for dynamic filesystem creation, that allows complex filesystem hierarchies to be created and written on-the-fly without having to generate a complete on-disk representation. The filesystem is laid out in a one-parent many-children hierarchy of file and folder objects. The API recursively traverses the filesystem hierarchy beginning at the root node to determine the filesystem's structure. Callback functions for retrieval of file data are determined for each filesystem object and stored in memory. Output blocks are allocated for file data as needed. During the writing phase, the callback functions are executed to retrieve file data which is then written to the desired computer readable media.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Drew Thaler, John Bertagnolli, Mike Shields, Ed Wynne

Publication number: 20080168535Abstract: Monitoring site access via an intervening control layer within a client is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a computerized system includes a plurality of sites, a monitoring server, and a client. Each site has content referenced be addresses. The monitoring server maintains a database of permissible content on at least one of the plurality of sites, where the permissible content is also referenced by addresses. The client has an intervening control layer within an otherwise standard mechanism by which programs running on the client access the content on the plurality of sites. The intervening control layer polls the monitoring server to determine whether a program attempting to access content on one of the sites as referenced by an address should be permitted to do so.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2007Publication date: July 10, 2008Inventors: Jonathan Woods, Ed Wynne
