Patent number: 7383324Abstract: A method and system for creating and navigating linear hypermedia resource programs are disclosed. The system includes a distributed hypermedia resource network having a plurality of hypermedia resources residing on one or more remote information nodes. A common remote information node is in communication with a subscriber station and the remote information nodes in the distributed network. The common remote information node contains at least one linear hypermedia resource program consisting of pre-selected media elements from one or more hypermedia resources linked with exclusive linear links, each media element in the linear program having only one forward link to the next media element. The method includes the steps of downloading and displaying a media element in the linear program and responding to user commands to download and display the next media element in the linear program.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2007Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Texas Technology VenturesInventors: Bruce Edward Stuckman, Barry James Sullivan, Wayne Robert Heinmiller, Richard Omanson, Jordan Howard Light, Robert Wesley Bossemeyer, Jr., James Richard Morse, Kent E.

Publication number: 20050278261Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for implementing navigational controls for presenting data, such as call-center data. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of the system, among others, can be implemented as follows. An application interface that accesses a plurality of computer applications is provided, where at least one computer application is located on a computer network. The system further includes a set of application controls associated with the application interface. In particular, each application control is associated with a particular computer application. In addition, the system includes at least one navigational control associated with at least one application control.
