摘要： A system for providing a user interface includes a first element tag and a second element tag. The first element tag specifies a first element that is associated with a class of connectable elements and includes a first order indicator that specifies an order of the first element. The second element tag specifies a second element that is associated with the class of connectable elements such that the first element and the second element can be connected. The second element tag includes a second order indicator that specifies an order of the second element. The order of the first element and the second element are related such that, when the first element and the second element are connected, the first element remains connected to the second element when the second element is moved, and the first element is separated from the second element when the first element is moved.

摘要： A system for providing a user interface includes a gadget definition, a style definition, and a scene file. The gadget definition includes one or more XML-based gadget definition tags defining a gadget element and the style definition includes one or more XML-based style definition tags defining one or more style attributes to be applied to the gadget element. The scene file is an XML-based document that includes a gadget element tag that specifies the gadget element. The system further includes a parser to parse the scene file, the style definition, and the gadget definition, and to generate an object that includes a gadget object corresponding to the gadget element. The system also includes a layout engine to determine, based on the object model, a layout of the user interface, and a rendering engine to render, based on the determined layout, the user interface including the gadget element.

摘要： A system for providing a user interface includes an XML-based scene file that includes an element tag that specifies an element of the user interface. The system also includes an XML-based animation tag and an XML-based state tag. The animation tag includes an animator element for applying an animation to an attribute of the element. The state tag specifies a state of the element and references the animation tag such that the animation is applied to the attribute in response to the element entering the state. In addition, the system includes a parser to parse the scene file, the animation tag, and the state tag and to generate an object model that includes an element object corresponding to the element of the user interface. The system further includes a layout engine to determine a layout of the user interface and a rendering engine to render the user interface.

摘要： A method and system for overlaying an object in a window of a software application where an overlay plane is composed of at least one object and the overlay plane is overlaid with the window using either a layering feature of the software application or by directly compositing the overlay plane with the window using enhanced functionality not included in the software application. The overlaying of the overlay plane in relation to the window does not depend on a cursor or pointing device designated position but may rather, for example, be arbitrarily placed or may be positioned in proximity to the text or graphic link used to initiate the overlaying process. The method and system may be implemented using a plugin-control for the software application.

摘要： To protect a client system from unauthorized programs, a scanner application for detecting particular unauthorized programs is maintained on a host system and periodically provided to a client system that executes the scanner application. Targeted solutions to particular types of unauthorized programs also are maintained on the host system and provided to the client system. If the scanner application detects an unauthorized program on the client system, a remedy that is targeted only to the detected unauthorized program is programmatically initiated to remedy the problem of the detected unauthorized program.

摘要： A system and method for licensing the use of “plug-in” type software that plays audio, video, and three dimensional content which logs the network address from which content is downloaded and played by the plug-in client software, then sends this information to a billing system maintained by the plug-in software developer. This billing system can then bill the content provider that is associated with the network address based on the number of times the content is played by users of the plug-in software. The system and method can also employ a public key encryption scheme to ensure that the network address information received by the plug-in software is valid and to block the playing of content from content providers that are delinquent in their license payments.

摘要： An efficient method and system for displaying integrated transparent objects and animation with a window, such as an Internet Web page is described. The present invention implements a plugin-control, such as a Netscape plugin or ActiveX control, in the host program, such as a Web browser, wherein the plugin-control provides at least one graphics buffer in addition to the buffers used by the host program. The plugin-control can function according to the host program Application Programming Interface (API) for the plugin-control under which the at least one additional buffer is used to composite a “compositing plane” containing the transparent objects and animation with the host program window and where the resulting composited scene is returned to the host program buffers as part of the regular host program draw pipe. Additionally, the host program API may be circumvented and the resulting composited scene may be written directly to the front buffer for display on the display device. In particular, in one embodiment, the plugin-control implements the at least one additional buffer it provides in the system memory in order to improve the performance of compositing images with many transparent pixels with a Web browser window. This improvement results from both the faster reading of data from the system memory than from video and the higher number of read-modify-write operations where a large number of transparent pixels exist and from current Web browser implementation of buffers solely in video memory.
