  • User interface method and system for application programs implemented with component architectures
    Patent number: 9235428
    Abstract: A computer implemented system is disclosed for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for an application program. The system includes a renderer, a proxy, and a workflow manager. The renderer is defined to render the GUI. The proxy is defined to provide to the renderer each component necessary for rendering the GUI. The proxy appears to the renderer as a single monolithic application program. The workflow manager is defined to communicate one or more document viewers and their associated user interface components to the proxy for provision to the renderer. The document viewers and their associated user interface components represent components necessary for rendering the GUI.

  • User interface method and system for application programs implemented with component architectures
    Patent number: 7117446
    Abstract: A method and system for providing a graphical user interface for application programs implemented with component architectures such as COM (Component Object Model), DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model), CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) and the like. The invention allows a graphical user interface to be implemented with a renderer such as a DHTML browser and allows new components to be added to an application program without requiring rewriting of the graphical user interface.

  • Non-timeline, non-linear digital multimedia composition method and system
    Patent number: 6204840
    Abstract: A method for digital multimedia composition including selecting multimedia data segments, arranging the selected multimedia data segments on a single storyline strip, inserting transitions between adjacent multimedia data segments on the storyline strip, and combining the selected multimedia data segments based on their arrangement on the storyline strip and based on the inserted transitions, to produce a multimedia output file from the storyline strip. A system is also described and claimed.
