  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING WEBSITE CONTENT
    Publication number: 20140380164
    Abstract: A machine-executable method for displaying webpage media content comprises a network device receiving an input from a computing system. The network device verifies whether a user associated with the computing system is a logged-in member. If the user is a logged-in member, display or playback of the media content immediately begins on a display device or a webpage display application of the computing system, without receiving any further input from the computing system.

  • Methods and systems for providing platform-independent shared software components for mobile devices
    Patent number: 6986148
    Abstract: Systems and methods integrate and provide platform independence to shared component objects. A host is targeted for a mobile device and registers software components. Upon a request for services by an application program, the host finds and facilitates the creation of instances requested by the application program, thereby providing platform independence to the application program and the developer thereof. A module, deployable unit of software components, is also an addressable and programmable object during a run time, thereby facilitating implicit registry of software components on the target device and reducing storage space required on a target device, as well as the CPU processing power. The module also provides module-wide variables, thereby enabling distinct instances constructed from classes contained within the module to share common variables.
