  • Patent number: 7672845
    Abstract: A method and system is provided to monitor speech and detect keywords or phrases in the speech, such as for example, monitored calls in a call center or speakers/presenters using teleprompters, or the like. Upon detection of the keywords of phrases, information associated with the keywords or phrases may be presented to a display device so that a user may dynamically receive new information as context of the speech progresses.

  • Patent number: 7636770
    Abstract: With a client connected to a server, an agent tool simulates user interaction and traversal of dynamic web pages, causing the server-side processes to serve HTML pages to the client. As these pages are served, they are collected by the agent, modified to include static hyperlinks to replace the server side directed navigation logic, and then persistently stored in local files where they are available for off-line navigation by a browser without the need for accessing the server(s). In effect, the HTML pages are published.

  • Patent number: 6886013
    Abstract: A method of controlling how a Web document is presented for display on a browser of a client machine. The Web document typically is formatted according to a markup language such as HTML. The method uses a client side HTTP caching proxy to intercept the Web document and then dynamically rewrite the document before it is displayed on the browser. In particular, as the Web document is received from the server, the HTML is parsed to identify the format of the document and the information therein. A filter mechanism is then used to reformat the Web document according to some given protocol, and the re-formatted Web document is then passed to the browser for display. Dynamic alteration of the HTML in this manner enables control of the “look and feel” of the browser display.

  • Patent number: 6226642
    Abstract: A method of controlling how a Web document is presented for display on a browser of a Web appliance. The Web appliance typically includes a television class monitor associated therewith. The Web document typically is formatted according to a markup language such as HTML. The method uses a client side HTTP caching proxy to intercept the Web document and then dynamically rewrite the document before it is displayed on the browser of the Web appliance. In particular, as the Web document is received from the server, the HTML is parsed to identify the format of the document and the information therein. A filter mechanism is then used to reformat the Web document according to some given protocol, and the re-formatted Web document is then passed to the browser for display on the monitor. Dynamic alteration of the HTML in this manner enables control of the “look and feel” of the browser display irrespective of the monitor resolution and/or quality.
