Abstract: Command driven web site browsing. As a part of command driven web site browsing a user supplied command is accessed that is submitted from a text input box in a web page of a browser and based on the user supplied command a web site is identified and accessed. The web site is automatically navigated to directly locate a predetermined place and/or perform a predetermined function therein which otherwise requires one or more user actions beyond the submission of a command to locate.

Abstract: Remote sign-out of web based service sessions. As a part of remote sign-out of web based service sessions, a user authentication token is accessed that is used to establish a web based service session and this user authentication token is stored in memory of an authentication server and returned in a cookie to the device. User access and deletion of the user authentication token from memory is accommodated using a device different from that which initially established the web based service session. Upon receipt of a browser request involving the user authentication token, it is determined whether the user authentication token is stored in memory. An access denial indication is provided to a web based service that indicates that the user authentication token is not stored in memory.

Abstract: A device control model provides an integrated set of addressing, naming, discovery and description processes that enables automatic, dynamic and ad-hoc self-setup by devices to interoperate with other devices on a network. This permits a computing device when introduced into a network to automatically configure so as to connect and interact with other computing devices available on the network, without a user installation experience and without downloading driver software or persisting a configuration setup for connecting and interacting with such other computing devices. Upon completing interaction with such other devices, the computing device automatically releases the setup for such other devices so as to avoid persistent device configurations that might create a configuration maintenance and management burden.

Abstract: A universal plug and play (UPnP) device makes itself known through a set of processes—discovery, description, control, eventing, and presentation. Following discovery of a UPnP device, an entity can learn more about the device and its capabilities by retrieving the device's description. The description includes vendor-specific manufacturer information like the model name and number, serial number, manufacturer name, URLs to vendor-specific Web sites, etc. The description also includes a list of any embedded devices or services, as well as URLs for control, eventing, and presentation. The description is written by a vendor, and is usually based on a device template produced by a UPnP forum working committee. The template is derived from a template language that is used to define elements to describe the device and any services supported by the device. The template language is written using an XML-based syntax that organizes and structures the elements.

Abstract: The present invention provides a medical supply monitoring and tracking system (100). In one embodiment, the system (100) includes a medicine trolley (300). A storage compartment (312,314,316) of the medicine trolley (300) has two RFID antennae (340) aligned substantially orthogonal to each other for monitoring a RFID tag (360) on each medical supply (350). In another embodiment, the system (100) also includes a communication device (210) and a staff identification card (222). The communication device (210) includes a functional module, each relevant for a doctor (223), a nurse (225), a pharmacist (224), and so on.

Abstract: The present invention provides a storage shelf (312,314,316) in a RFID tracking system (100). In one embodiment, the storage shelf (312,314,316) is on a medical supply trolley (300). Each storage shelf (312,314,316) has two RFID antennae (340a, 340b) that are aligned substantially orthogonal to each other. Each RFID antenna (340) is tuned to a resonant frequency, and with a bandwidth below and above the resonant frequency. The bandwidth defines a Q factor such that the antenna (340) is insensitive to a conductor placed near the antenna (340).

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are provided for dynamically generating a user interface menu. According to the method, a menu definition file is stored that contains data describing one or more menu items to be displayed on the menu. A view definition file is stored separate from the menu definition file that contains data describing how the menu should appear when displayed. The contents of the view definition file and the menu definition file may be utilized together to dynamically display the menu.
