Abstract: A system providing methods for dynamically generating personalized content is described. Specific items of content which may be personalized or customized are identified. Subdirectories are created for each value of such personalized content. Files specific to each value of personalized content are created and placed in these subdirectories. When a user requests a particular web page or item of content, a token is retrieved identifying the personalized content to be generated for that particular user. Personalized content is then dynamically generated by construction of a path to at least one subdirectory containing personalized content. The path to such subdirectory containing personalized content is dynamically constructed based upon the token identifying such personalized content.

Abstract: A Web application framework for creating Web-based applications is described. The framework includes an abstract command tag that predefines at least some generic Web application activities. When using the framework, one specifies at least one custom action that is desired to be performed by a Web application under development. In one embodiment, this includes creating a customized command tag that is capable of being embedded within a Web page. The customized command tag includes the ability to conditionally execute the specified custom action based on run-time conditions. The customized command tag is embedded in a Web page of the Web application.

Abstract: An imaging system is described that automates fulfillment of image photofinishing based on location. The system includes the following components: an imaging device capable of capturing a plurality of images; a local host, at least occasionally connected to the imaging device, that is capable of offloading images from the imaging device and capable of determining a current position based on GPS (Global Positioning System) information; and a remote (e.g., Web-based) host capable of receiving the plurality of images, capable of receiving a request for photofinishing the images, and capable of transmitting the plurality of images to a particular fulfiller for photofinishing, based on the current position.

Abstract: An imaging system is described that automatically identifies where images are captured. The system includes the following components: an imaging device for capturing images; a GPS (Global Positioning System) module providing location information; a host device (e.g., local host) that is at least occasionally connected to the imaging device, and application logic for querying the GPS module for determining location information and for associating each captured image with a location identifier indicating where each image was captured.

Abstract: An online media delivery system incorporating combining on-the-fly media reformatting with advanced client detection capabilities enabling delivery of appropriate media content to connected client devices is described. The system receives requests from client devices for media documents or objects, identifies the client device requesting particular media objects from an HTTP request, determines the media output capabilities of the client device, reformats the source media according to those capabilities and delivers the reformatted media to the client device. The system provides access to media content for multiple disparate client devices of varying hardware and software capabilities. The system enables delivery of appropriate media content to practically any device with connectivity capability.

Abstract: A Web application framework for creating Web-based applications is described. The framework includes an abstract command tag that predefines at least some generic Web application activities. When using the framework, one specifies at least one custom action that is desired to be performed by a Web application under development. This includes creating a Java class that extends the abstract command tag for providing execution logic for the (at least one) custom action, in addition to pre-existing logic that supports the (at least some) generic Web application activities, thereby creating a corresponding customized command tag that is capable of being embedded within a Web page. The customized command tag includes the ability to conditionally execute the specified (at least one) custom action based on run-time conditions. The customized command tag is embedded in a Web page of the Web application.
