  • Patent number: 8989715
    Abstract: A method of rendering content on a wireless device. The wireless device sends a message to a server requesting an application and identifies itself with its rendering capabilities. The wireless receives an identification of a custom configuration of a plurality of rendering blocks of the wireless device associated with the application. The custom configuration configures the plurality of rendering blocks of the device. The wireless device receives compiled content from the application executing on the server that includes render commands expressed in a syntax that is device generic but has parameters specific to the rendering capabilities of the wireless device. A reader of the wireless device processes the compiled content and issues commands to individual rendering blocks of a graphical user interface based on the rendering commands of the compiled content and based on the custom configuration.

  • Publication number: 20130041756
    Abstract: A method for targeting one or more users. User interaction with a wireless application is monitored. Information based on the user interaction is analyzed. Based on the analysis, one or more customizations of the application are determined in order to target users. The customizations are dynamically applied to the application.

  • Publication number: 20120066119
    Abstract: A method for managing wireless account information. A list of applications is presented via a web interface on a computing device. The applications are operable to run on a wireless handheld device and a plurality of billing options are presented. In response to receiving a selection of an application, a wireless account is updated via a link between a web account and a wireless account according to the selected application, such that the selected application is available when a wireless account is accessed via a wireless handheld device.

  • Patent number: 8103865
    Abstract: A server implemented method for processing data for a wireless device. The server in response to a user request executes an application program for generating content for rendering on the wireless device where the content is wireless device generic. A first screen description based on the content and a device profile of the wireless device is generated. The device profile may describe a rendering capability of the wireless device. The first screen may be in a syntax generic format independent of the wireless device type and describe relative screen location and display object size information independent of screen dimensions. The first screen is translated into a second screen description that includes discrete low level rendering commands within the rendering capability of the wireless device that is syntax generic. Low level rendering commands include physical screen positions of display elements. The translated second screen is then transmitted to the wireless device.

  • Patent number: 5437622
    Abstract: A transparent adhesive dressing of synthetic material having reinforced starter cuts is disclosed. The dressing contains three layers, namely, a sheet of flexible film made of polyurethane having an adhesive face, a protective sheet of backing covering the adhesive face, and a sheet of less flexible material made of polyethylene. A starter cut passes through at least two of the three layers. The starter cut is protected by a reinforcing strip disposed on the sheet of the less flexible film.
