  • Publication number: 20140114566
    Abstract: Directory service results responsive to a request for a desired good or service provider may be provided based on one or more user-selected locations. The user may seek a desired good or service provider that is proximate to a location from which the user may begin traveling to the point of interest, referred to as a source location, and satisfies a beneficial objective held by the user. The beneficial objective may relate to, for example, a directional travel preference, avoiding rush hour traffic or proximity to a specific location or another type of good or service provider that differs from the user's desired good or service provider that is the subject of the user's request. A sequence of geometrical representations, such as, for example, Delauney Triangles, may be generated to provide directory service results that satisfy the user's request.

  • Publication number: 20070033569
    Abstract: Client-server architectures for allowing web applications to operate even when the client and server are disconnected. Exemplary architectures include a local web engine associated with a local cache which can be separate from a browser cache and browser application. Exemplary data structures include web documents having one or more control commands embedded in the head with manifest code. Exemplary methods include operating web applications when the client is offline, caching web applications, executable code, web documents, security code, and/or remote files, allowing web application access of local files, and operating client/web applications.

  • Publication number: 20040177115
    Abstract: The invention provides a comprehensive and integrated music search and discovery tool that allows a user to find music information available from a provider in one place, by song or artist. The preferred embodiment comprises a mega indexer facility for versioning and bouncing of searchable runtime data structures across multiple systems that is atomic at the HTTP connection level. It further comprises a DCI Today platform for integration of a Web server within a client process providing a framework for secure client side Web applications even while off line. Finally, it comprises a server PreQueue for minimizing the overhead associated with waiting for remote resources in a multi-threaded IO model.
