Patent number: 11941416Abstract: One or more processors of a mobile computing device may receive, from a view provider, graphical user interface (GUI) view data that specifies, for each respective GUI view of a set of GUI views, a respective platform-neutral layout description and a respective one or more condition for the respective GUI view to be a relevant GUI view. The one or more processors may determine a GUI view as the relevant GUI view out of the set of GUI views based at least in part on one or more conditions for the GUI view specified by the GUI view data. The one or more processors may, in response to determining the GUI view as the relevant GUI view, output, based at least in part on a platform-neutral layout description for the GUI view specified by the GUI view data, the GUI view for display at a display device.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Ant Oztaskent, Flavio Lerda, John S.

Patent number: 9037660Abstract: A recipient computer system may receive one or more electronic messages. The recipient computer system may send one, two, or more challenge messages to the sender of the electronic messages in determining whether to deliver the electronic message. The recipient computer system may accept or reject an electronic message based on the response, or lack of response, to the challenge messages. The recipient computer system may send two or more challenge messages at intervals. A sender computer system may record activity of the sender computer system for a recipient computer system to use in determining whether to deliver an electronic message. A sender computer system may provide a summary of that activity with an electronic message. A sender computer system may provide an authorization key for a recipient computer system to use in determining whether to deliver an electronic message. The authorization key may be generated by a third party.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Richard A. Landsman, Jay Logue, Jeffrey N.

Patent number: 8112508Abstract: A system for targeting bulletins to specific electronic devices includes a device management (“DM”) service, one or more electronic devices, and a database for storing bulletins. Generally, the DM service creates a bulletin, associating targeting criteria specifying one or more electronic devices with the bulletin. An electronic device submits a service request to the DM service identifying bulletins previously received (if any) by the device and a device identification number assigned to the device. Using the information from the service request, the DM service queries the database for bulletins available for the device. Upon locating an available bulletin, the DM service notifies the device and after receiving a request for the bulletin from the device, the DM service transmits the available bulletin. Alternately, the DM service can transmit the bulletin without first notifying and receiving a request from the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2007Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Craig M.

Patent number: 7886343Abstract: Authenticating a third party client system prior to providing Internet access via an Internet access point. In a distributed computing system including an Internet access point, an authentication service, and a third party client system, an authentication service receives an authorization request from a third party client system. The authorization request is initiated in response to a single action being performed by a user of the third party client system. The user is not required to manually submit any identification information. The authorization request includes a unique client identifier for identifying the third party client system. The method also includes verifying that the third party client system associated with the unique client identifier is authorized to access the Internet via the Internet access point. If the third party client system is authorized to access the Internet, Internet access is provided to the third party client system.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2007Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Timothy Sullivan, Timothy C.

Patent number: 5784619Abstract: A notebook component of an extensible and replaceable network-oriented component system records locations of resources coupled to a computer network. The network-oriented system includes a novel application programming interface for the notebook component that facilitates integration with an underlying software component architecture. Such a highly-modular cooperating layered-arrangement between the network component system and the component architecture allows the notebook component to be replaced, extended or modified by other notebook-type components, while ensuring that these latter components "seamlessly" interact with existing components and component editors of the system.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1997Date of Patent: July 21, 1998Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: John S. Evans, Michael A. Cleron, Stephen Fisher, Patrick A. Holleran, Timo Bruck

Patent number: 5781189Abstract: A network-oriented component system facilitates development of customized user interfaces to computer networks by embedding entities that reference resources located on the networks into components of the system. The embedded entities are preferably manifested as visual objects displayed on a graphical user interface of a computer screen that a user may manipulate to effectuate the embedding process. The "container" components are preferably compound documents having contents that include different data types and formats.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1995Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Patrick A.

Patent number: 5752059Abstract: In a computer system, an apparatus for depicting an electronic mail address in either a field format or a string format. In a field format, the components of the electronic mail address is parsed into a plurality of fields. Each field represents a particular attribute of the electronic mail address. In a string format, the electronic mail address is comprised of a string of characters in a syntax specified by the protocol of the corresponding electronic mail system. A template having syntax information corresponding to the protocol is used to convert an electronic mail address from a field format to a string format and vice versa. Hence, a user has the option of entering an electronic mail address and having it displayed or edited in either a field format or a string format.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1992Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Patrick A. Holleran, Yan Arrouye, Cordell R. Ratzlaff, Stephen Fisher, John S. Evans
