Abstract: A communications network comprises a computer having a control panel application with controls for remotely controlling playback on a web browser of a wireless communication device; a wireless communications device; and data connection means between the computer and the device, such as a wireless network, Bluetooth®, or USB. The device comprises a web browser; a content playback application program interface (API) communicative with the web browser; and a playback control application communicative with the control panel application to receive web browser playback instructions and with the content playback API to transmit the instructions thereto.

Abstract: A communications network comprises a wireless communication device, a mobile data service and an apparatus for testing media content developed for a wireless communication device. This apparatus comprises a media content composer module, a web server, and a dispatcher module. The dispatcher module is programmed to: receive a media content simulation request from the composer module; publish media content developed on the composer module onto the web server, the published content having a uniform resource locator (URL) associated thereto; and transmit to the mobile data service the URL and instructions to the wireless communication device or a wireless communication device simulator to open a web browser and access the URL thereby downloading the media content from the web server.

Abstract: A method for converting graphic object data that defines a graphic object, including converting the graphic object data from a path format to a second format, the path format including path elements that are each associated with a fill style and define one or more polygon shapes at least partially filled with the associated fill style, the path elements collectively defining the graphic object. The conversion includes (i) redefining the polygon shapes defined by the path elements as groups of triangles, and (ii) combining at least some of triangles in the groups of triangles into further polygon shapes that fall within predetermined complexity thresholds.
