摘要:
A user's set top box (STB), or other client, executes a shell and has an application program interface (API) by which certain features of the client can be controlled. The client is in communication with a walled garden proxy server (WGPS). The client sends a request to the WGPS to access a service provided by a site in the garden. The site sends the client a message containing code calling a function in the API. The WGPS traps the message from the site and looks up the site in a table to determine the access control list (ACL) for the site. The WGPS includes the ACL in the header of the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) message to the client. The shell receives the message and extracts the ACL. If the code lacks permission, the shell stops execution.

A user's set top box (STB), or other client, executes a shell and has an application program interface (API) by which certain features of the client can be controlled. The client is in communication with a walled garden proxy server (WGPS), which controls access to a walled garden. The walled garden contains links to one or more servers providing network-based services. The client sends a request to the WGPS to access a service provided by a site in the garden. To provide the service, the site sends the client a message containing code calling a function in the API. The WGPS traps the message from the site and looks up the site in a table to determine the access control list (ACL) for the site. The ACL is a bit-map that specifies which functions of the client's API can be invoked by code from the site. The WGPS includes the ACL in the header of the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) message to the client. The shell receives the message and extracts the ACL. The shell uses the ACL to determine whether the code has permission to execute any called functions in the API. If the code lacks permission, the shell stops execution and sends a message to the site indicating that the site lacks permission. Otherwise, the shell allows the code to call the function.

摘要:
A system and method for delivering text, media, and inline interactive data (called message content) encapsulated in a message-based conversation has been devised. Content of multiple types are rendered and manipulated using interactive program code objects, downloaded when first needed from a repository, present on the message device. Inline interactive data can be shared and manipulated by participants in a message conversation as part of and in context with the ongoing conversation. Sharing and data integrity of the inline interactive data as well as conversation participant authentication, privileges and conversation security is managed by a central message server.
摘要:
A method for decreasing a computer application's start-up time. In one aspect, the method comprises: creating a serialized representation of application objects in a runtime environment; building an object code file using the serialized representation; and providing the application to a new runtime environment. In another embodiment the method may include the steps of: compiling an application provided in an source language; initializing the application in a runtime environment; and creating a serialized representation of the application.
