Abstract:
Communications to be shared on social networks and other electronic modes of communication are presented in comic strip form. The comic strips are created with a simplified user interface and are formatted to be well-suited for display on a selected social network or other electronic facility. The comic strips are displayed in an embedded form directly in the social network or other facility, without the need for a user to go to a separate site to view the comic strip.
Abstract:
According to one general aspect, a method of remotely controlling a remote computing device from a local computing device that is executing a web browser, may include receiving, via a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), at least a graphical human interface output from the remote computing device. The method may also include displaying, within a display area defined by a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) web element, wherein the HTML web element is interpreted by the web browser, the graphical human interface output from the remote computing device. The method may further include receiving, from the remote computing device via HTTP, at least one update to the graphical human interface output. And, the method may include dynamically updating the graphical human interface output displayed within the display area defined by the HTML web element, wherein updating is based upon the received at least one update to the graphical human interface output.
Abstract:
Methods and systems enabling a cloud service to manage robotic devices are provided. An example method includes receiving a task order including information that identifies configuration requirements for a robotic device to perform a task, program instructions executable by the robotic device to perform the task, and payment information for the task. The method may also include selecting one or more robotic devices to perform the task from among a pool of robotic devices. For instance, the selected one or more robotic devices may be leased for a period of time to perform the task. The method may further include providing the configuration requirements and the program instructions to the selected one or more robotic devices, and receiving confirmation that the task has been performed. According to the method, payment may be provided to one or more accounts registered with the selected one or more robotic devices.
