Publication number: 20130237185Abstract: A system and method is described for providing an interactive rich media information service to users of mobile devices. The rich media information is presented to users in a plurality of interactive rich media channels. A subscriber-specific data stream is received at the mobile device containing channel data for each of the rich media channel that the user has subscribed to. The channel data is separated and stored corresponding to each such subscribed-to channel. An interactive multimedia runtime container (iMRC). is executed on the mobile device for each subscribed-to channel. The rich media channels are played on the iMRC and displayed on the display of the mobile device. Using the user interface elements of the mobile device, the user may navigate through the information on the channels, navigate between different channels, subscribe or un-subscribe to channels, and enter user preferences for further tailoring the information presented in the subscribed-to channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2010Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: ADOBE SYSTEMS INCORPORATEDInventors: James T. Morris, Samuel J. MacDonnell, Dmitri B. Abramov, Laurent E. Sellier, David Bliss, Jacquie Moss, Norman K. Meyrowitz, Brian P. Connolly, Basil C. Hosmer, Saurav Chatterjee, Christopher O.

Patent number: 8064890Abstract: A system and method is described for providing data to a mobile information system. A broadcast server receives information preferences from a plurality of subscribers to the mobile information system. The broadcast server aggregates these information preferences and transmits the aggregated information preferences to at least one data source providers. The data source providers then assemble data for the mobile information system using the aggregated information preferences.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2010Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Basil C. Hosmer, Brian Connolly, Saurav Chatterjee, Samuel MacDonnell, Norman K. Meyrowitz, James T. Morris, Laurent E. Sellier

Patent number: 7478158Abstract: A method of enforcing network bandwidth limitation includes receiving a request from a client for transmission of a server's feed data and receiving a client timestamp from the client. The method further includes determining if feed data in a previous transmission from the server to the client has been lost, and if so, reimbursing the client for the lost data. The method further includes determining if the client is eligible to receive the requested feed data transmission from the server, and if the client is eligible, then immediately transmitting of the most recent available requested feed data from the server to the client, but if the client is not eligible, then preventing the transmission and withholding the feed data from the client without prolonging the duration of any network connection from the server to the client.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Dwight O. Rodgers, Brian P. Connolly, James T. Morris, Laurent E. Sellier, Basil C. Hosmer
