  • System and method for generating multiple customizable interfaces for XML documents
    Patent number: 7237190
    Abstract: An XML schema and a set of user customization rules are utilized to produce a set of components that interact to provide a user-specific, document specific, multi-modal interface for an XML document. Each generated component provides a specific input and output mode. For example, one component could be an HTML component, which produces a HTML rendering of the XML tree while another component may be a speech component, which produces a speech-based rendering of the XML tree. A series of these components work together to produce a multi-modal view of the XML tree.

  • Method for allowing simple interoperation between backend database systems
    Patent number: 7099891
    Abstract: According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bridging system (100) and method provides a way of linking two independent data systems by receiving a dataset from a source data system. The bridging system (100) translates the dataset from a source schema to a target schema according to a set of mapping rules, and queues the translated data in persistent storage, and then sends the translated dataset to a destination data system. The system (100) includes an XML bridge (114), multiple application specific gateways (116,118), and a web admin interface (210), all in communication via a wide area network.
