Publication number: 20140337424Abstract: In some implementations, a website can be certified by a push notification service operator to send push notifications to user devices. A web browser on the user's device can communicate with the website to advertise the user device's ability to receive push notifications. The website can provide to the web browser a certificate indicating that the website is authorized to utilize the push notification service. If the certificate is valid and has not been revoked, the browser can prompt the user to allow push notifications from the website. If the user authorizes push notifications, a device token can be provided to the website that allows the website to send push notifications to the user device through the push notification service. In some implementations, the web browser can be configured to provide websites access to APIs for accessing information stored on a user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2013Publication date: November 13, 2014Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jonathan J.

Patent number: 7546375Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing applications across a server and one or more nodes in a network. When a node is turned on or booted, a node application is requested from the server and loaded on the node. The node application provides a user interface through which other feature applications are selected and run on the node. The node application loads/unloads selected applications and manages node resources for those applications. Each application is developed with a process portion that runs on the server and a user interface portion that is loaded on the node. The node application also provides support to the user interface portion of each application such that the applications may construct user interfaces using the available standards provided by the node application.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2005Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Celik Tantek, Steven Jon Falkenburg
