  • Patent number: 8712442
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for providing information related to virtual environments. One such method includes receiving user input identifying an event related to the virtual environment for which a notification is to be provided to a mobile wireless communication device. User input is also received identifying an output to be provided by the mobile wireless communication device in response to receipt of the notification. A determination is then made that the event related to the virtual environment has occurred. In response to determining that the event occurred, the mobile wireless communication device is provided with the notification, and the output identified by the user input is provided by the mobile wireless communication device.

  • Patent number: 7610561
    Abstract: Described are various methods and apparatuses for fine grained control of z-order elements in a presentation. A structure is defined containing user interface elements and an order is defined for rendering such user interface elements. It is desired that some elements may need to be rendered out of the defined order, therefore a raise user interface element is defined allowing for one or more user interface elements to be defined to be rendered out of the normally defined order. User interface elements may something to be presented on a display and may also include program code for defining behaviors.

  • Patent number: 7388606
    Abstract: A method and system for incorporating a watermark into an original digital picture utilizes an image file, such as a JPEG file to store a watermark or otherwise altered rendition of an original digital picture. The marker section of the JPEG file would include the original digital picture as well as meta data relating to the watermark as well as a copyright notice. Additionally, a password is encrypted and embedded into the header section of the JPEG file. Therefore, an end user could only download and print the original digital picture by the proper entering of a password supplied by originator of the JPEG file.
