Patent number: 9600464Abstract: An authoring tool for authoring wrap packages of cards. The authoring tool includes a set of tools that enable an author to create a new card of a wrap selected from a variety of card templates. In various embodiments, the card templates include textual, video, image/photo, document, gallery, chat, widgets, global components, location/GPS, transact, appointment, and end-of-wrap card templates. When a particular card template is selected, the template is then duplicated to create the new card. Thereafter, the author may author the card to include various components, content, attributes, layouts, styles triggers and/or behaviors. As the cards of the wrap are created, the authoring tool provides the author with the ability to order the sequence of the cards. The authoring tool thus enables authors to selectively create wrap packages that include media that conveys a narrative story and application functionality.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Wrap Media, LLCInventors: Eric H. Greenberg, John M. Garris, Ian McFarland, Jared L. Ficklin, Mark E. Rolston, Matthew J. Santone, Jon Stevens, Eric J. Wicks

Patent number: 9600594Abstract: A variety of data structures, components, runtime viewers and methods are described for defining, delivering and rendering wrapped packages of cards in a manner that is particularly well suited, but not limited to, display on mobile devices. Each card may selectively include media content, and a palette of application functionality and/or supporting e-commerce related services. The cards of the wrap packages are ideally threaded together into one or more linear sequences, and authored to convey a book-like narrative that unfolds as the cards are sequentially browsed. In addition, the wrap packages are portable objects that are readily distributed, similar to other electronic messages, through e-mail, messaging, social-media, or via a variety of other electronic communication platforms. As a result, wrap packages are consumable, sharable and savable objects.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Wrap Media, LLCInventors: Eric H.

Patent number: 9600452Abstract: Creating and delivering advertisements within wrapped packages of cards, which selectively include (i) media content, including advertisement(s) for item(s) available for purchase, (ii) application functionality and/or (iii) e-commerce related transactional services. By defining the sequence order in which the cards are navigated when consumed, wraps may deliver advertisements in the context of a “story” or “narrative”, which unfolds as the cards are sequentially browsed, similar to the turning of the pages of a book or magazine. Ads thus become more compelling. In addition, with built-in transactional functionality, advertised Item(s) can be immediately purchased without having to exit the wrap.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Wrap Media, LLCInventors: Eric H. Greenberg, John M. Garris, Ian McFarland, Jon Stevens, Francis C. Li, Dana A. Levine, Mark E. Rolston, Jared L. Ficklin, Sylvio H. Drouin

Publication number: 20160357373Abstract: An authoring tool for authoring a presentation of a wrap package of cards. The authoring tool enables creation of a vertically navigable card including a plurality of components that brows-able in the vertical direction and two or more horizontally navigable cards, each including components. When authoring is complete, the tool generates a portable data object and a URL for identifying and distributing the wrap package. When rendered on a consuming device, the wrap package, including the individual cards, has the same presentation as authored.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2016Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: Eric H. GREENBERG, John M. GARRIS, Ian MCFARLAND, Jared L. FICKLIN, Mark E. ROLSTON, Matthew J. SANTONE, Jon STEVENS, Eric J. WICKS

Publication number: 20160196244Abstract: A variety of data structures, components, runtime viewers and methods are described for defining, delivering and rendering wrapped packages of cards in a manner particularly well suited, but not limited to, display on mobile devices. Each card may selectively include media content, a palette of application functionality and/or supporting e-commerce related services. A wrap descriptor, composed of a plurality of card descriptors defines the structure, layout and content of a set of cards that constitute the wrap. The wrap descriptor may take the form of a JSON data object. A runtime viewer that executes on the rendering computing device may be used to transform the wrap descriptor into a runtime instance of the wrap that includes the content and functionality defined by the descriptor. In some implementations, the runtime viewer creates an object graph, which may then be converted to an object model suitable for rendering on the consuming device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Eric H.
