  • Patent number: 9148471
    Abstract: A system for generalizing the format of instructional content for mobile delivery is disclosed. The system includes a processor configured to identify institutional content in a client-specific data file, and further configured to store, in a memory, the identified institutional content as generalized institutional content. The system also includes a communications module configured to receive, from a mobile device, a request for the generalized institutional content. The processor is configured to provide, to the mobile device in response to the request, the generalized institutional content in a format configured for display on the mobile device. Methods and machine-readable mediums are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8875047
    Abstract: A graphical user interface system is provided. The system includes a display and a processor, coupled to the display, configured to display a window, in an initial position. Upon receiving a window docking input by a user indicating a request to dock the window at a predefined docking point, the processor is configured to dock the window at the predefined docking point. The docking of the window at the predefined docking point includes hiding a portion of the window. Upon receiving a window docking input by a user indicating a request to simultaneously dock each of a plurality of windows at a predefined docking point, the processor is configured to dock each of the plurality of windows at a corresponding position on the predefined docking point, including hiding a portion of each of the plurality of windows. Methods and computer-readable mediums are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8412794
    Abstract: A system for integrating user-specific institutional content for mobile delivery is disclosed. The system includes a communications module configured to receive, from a mobile device, a request for target institutional content based on source institutional content and an identification of a user. The system also includes a processor configured to obtain, from a memory, the target institutional content based on the source institutional content and the identification of the user, and further configured to provide, to the mobile device in response to the request, the generalized institutional content in a format configured for display on the mobile device. Methods and machine-readable mediums are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120054667
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a graphical user interface system is provided. The system includes a display and a processor, coupled to the display, configured to display a plurality of windows. The processor is configured to simultaneously receive from a user a plurality of window action inputs, each window action input associated with a corresponding window, indicating requests to conduct actions with the corresponding windows. Each window action input is separately provided by the user. Each window includes a frame portion and a content portion including an object having at least one predetermined function and capable of receiving an input configured to active the predetermined function. When the processor receives a window adjustment input for the object from a user indicating a request to adjust the window, the window is configured to be adjusted. The window adjustment input is different than the input. Methods and computer-readable mediums are also provided.
