Abstract: A media player can comprise a playlist parsing module configured to parse a playlist comprising a plurality of nested elements of a media presentation and select an element of the media presentation for generating output. The playlist can comprise a nested structure of objects representative of the elements of the media presentation, with at least one declared trait applicable to one or more elements. For example, the playlist may specify a composition of a plurality of visual, audio, or other elements for generating output or other behavior in parallel and/or in series over the course of the media presentation. The media player can comprise a playback component configured to utilize at least one selectively-enabled functional component of the media player to generate output based on evaluating the trait(s) exposed by the selected element.

Abstract: A media player can identify one or more elements of a media presentation and select an element of the media presentation for generating output. The elements may be identified in a playlist or elsewhere. For example, the playlist may specify a composition of a plurality of visual, audio, or other elements for generating output or other behavior in parallel and/or in series over the course of the media presentation. The media player can comprise a playback component configured to utilize at least one selectively-enabled functional component of the media player to generate output based on evaluating the trait(s) exposed by the selected element. Traits may be determined based on analyzing media types or other data regarding the elements of the presentation.

Abstract: In techniques for provisioning rules to manage user entitlements, a database maintains an association of a user identifier with one or more purchased entitlements that correspond to products or services purchased by a consumer entity from one or more service groups. An entitlement manager is implemented to receive provisioning rules that have been designated by the service groups to designate fulfillable entitlements that are associated with the purchased entitlements. The entitlement manager also utilizes a multi-dimensional vector space technique to generate an entitlement model that relates the purchased entitlements of the consumer entity, correlates the fulfillable entitlements for the purchased entitlements, and identifies resultant allocations of the fulfillable entitlements for the consumer entity.

Abstract: A Java based server is disclosed for providing streaming data. Streaming data is received in a publisher interface and processed to generate Java messages describing real time updated. One application of the Java based server is to provide streaming data for business process.

Abstract: A system for automatically extracting data from at least one electronic document accessible through the Internet or other computer network. The system records a sequence of actions operable to electronically navigate to a target page of the electronic document, the target page including a plurality of elements each having contents and a structural definition wherein the structural definitions interrelate the plurality of elements to specify a target pattern for a select subset of the plurality of elements. After recording the navigation path and the target pattern, the system automatically accesses the target page according to the recorded sequence. When the target page is accessed, the system automatically identifies, copies and processes selections from the plurality of elements dependent upon the target pattern.

Abstract: An execution engine is disclosed for executing business processes. An executable object model is generated for a business process document. Executable object models of business processes are assigned to virtual processors.
