  • Asset catalog layered image support
    Patent number: 10268647
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for authoring, deploying, and executing layer stack images for applications directed to a plurality of target devices. Resources to implement the layer stack images are compiled into an asset catalog database for each image in each layer stack image for each target device. Derivative resource products, such as a flattened version of the layer stack images and a “blurred” version of layer stack images can be generated and stored in the asset catalog at compile and build time. Three-dimensional effects implemented using the layer stack images can be implemented using an application programming interface that accepts legacy two dimensional images can be used to receive the layer stack images. An platform framework implements logic that detects the type of image requested via the API is a layer stack image or a conventional flat image. Third party layer stack images can be received and displayed at run-time or compile time.

  • Indexing and searching a data collection
    Patent number: 8977626
    Abstract: A system searches a data collection using a bloom filter index to reduce the search scope to improve search efficiency, while at the same time allowing more flexible searches of the data collection using search terms containing any arbitrary string of data.

  • Auto Localization
    Publication number: 20140123039
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive a preferred language and a base file that includes localizable and non-localizable user interface objects, the text string associated with the localizable user interface objects, and the respective ID codes of the user interface objects. Substitute the text string of localizable user interface objects in the base file with the text string in a localization text file referenced by the ID code. Generate a user interface window with the user interface objects including the text from the localization text file.
