Patent number: 8065673Abstract: A computer system includes an object oriented framework that provides a set of application integration interfaces that support programmatic updating operations for maintaining locally stored copies of resources such as hypertext document pages from remote servers on a computer network. The updating operations continually check for updates to the data at the remote server and download updated versions of the resources to maintain concurrency of the locally stored copy. The updating operations are performed while a connection to the remote network is left idle, to maximize usage of on-line connection time. The updating operations also can be programmatically scheduled by a client program of the updating operations. The updating operations include updating the contents of a folder or directory in a local file system as specified in a file at a remote server on the network, and providing automatically updating and populating groups of sites or document pages organized by category.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2004Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David J. D'Souza, Sabina Nawaz, Erik Jon Snapper, Darren Mitchell, Raymond Edward Endres, Teresa Martineau, Bharat Shyam, Ian Michael Ellison-Taylor, Mohsin Ahmed

Patent number: 6421694Abstract: A system and method for dynamically displaying data items on a client computer. In one aspect of the invention, the client computer displays a graphical user interface having a windowing environment and a desktop. The desktop includes a ticker display pane for dynamically displaying the data items. The data items may contain hyperlinks so that a user has access to information on multiple server computers. The data items are displayed in a substantially continuous sequence and may be provided from Internet servers, Intranet servers, LAN servers, and/or the client computer itself.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 1999Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sabina Nawaz, Steven Alfred Isaac, Jay Franklin McLain, Michael H. Tuchen, Eric George Jakstadt
