  • Publication number: 20170228384
    Abstract: A social media content management system coupled to a social media network includes database files and execution instructions to assemble, manage and transmit social media content. The database files store a feed content file, a social content management file, and management tables including a schedule file and an export content file. Execution instructions include a feed channel content system for receiving and storing feed content items in the feed content file. A selection subsystem is used for selecting and storing export content as social media posts in the social content management file. A scheduling subsystem enables a user to create and store schedules, to select a schedule and to merge the selected schedule with the stored content in the management file to form the export content file. An export system transmits the stored content as social media content posts to the social media network according to the selected schedule.

  • Patent number: 8738744
    Abstract: A rich media file is a self-contained file, including both the information to be viewed by a user and the viewer that displays the information to the user. The information can be formatted however the client likes: for example, the information can be split across several pages, and can include text and still and animated images. There can also be web links to pages on a network, and e-mail forms to simplify sending an e-mail message to the client. The rich media file can include viewing limitations, so that only the proper password can unlock the file, or that the rich media file will automatically expire after a specified condition occurs. The rich media file also assists the user in obtaining the latest version of the rich media file, by offering to retrieve a newer version for the user.

  • Patent number: 7295704
    Abstract: To compress an image, each pixel is considered. The color of each pixel, represented as an index into a color palette, is compared with the color of the pixel's upper and left neighbors and encoded to an entry in the color palette. A probability distribution is updated based on the colors of the pixel and its left and upper neighbors. Once all pixels are encoded, the color palette is optimized using the probability distribution, and the indices into the color palette for the pixels are compressed. In the preferred embodiment, the compression is achieved using a single pass over the pixels in the image, and the probability distribution is updated dynamically as each pixel is compressed.
