A system and method receives and stores instant messaging messages, and provides them upon request by one or more programs, such messages containing text, status of other users or other information. Instant messages received from programs may also be provided as instant messages using the system and method. The programs may be validated before allowing them to communicate using the instant messaging network.

Methods, systems, and computer program products identify trust and reputation information for an application. Status information including installation information and/or rating information corresponding to a software application is stored in a service or in a local computer cache. A software application is identified as corresponding to the status information, and the installation information and/or rating information is presented to a user prior to installation, launch, and/or update of the software application. Using the status information the user can make an informed decision on whether the user will trust the software application to permit the installation, launch, and/or update to occur.

Identifying reputation and trust information for software

In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a method that includes rendering Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) content, in an HTML rendering engine, to primitives of a vector graphics rendering engine; rendering the primitives, in the vector graphics rendering engine, to provide a user interface; receiving an input event via the user interface; determining, in the HTML rendering engine, a change in appearance for the user interface based on the input event; and updating at least one of the primitives for rendering by the vector graphics rendering engine in accordance with the change in appearance to update the user interface.

Rendering hypertext markup language content

A system and method displays information for a multiple programs, each containing zero or one agent, an application, and zero or more pods. The agent communicates with another device such as a network to retrieve or provide information. Information to or from the agent is displayed by an application in a window that is used by other applications, one application at a time. Information to or from the agent is also displayed in one or more windows, each window dedicated to a single pod, and such window being much smaller than the window displaying information from the application.

System and method for communicating information over a network

A system and method communicates address and state information from a browser to a rich Internet application to allow the Rich Internet Application to start at a location, or preload variables, corresponding to the state information. The system and method communicates address and state information from the Rich Internet Application to the browser to allow such information to be displayed by the browser for use or retrieval. The system and method allows the user to navigate within the Rich Internet Application using the browser's forward and back buttons.

System and method for communicating state and title information between a browser and a rich internet application with browser forward and back button support

A system and method provides messages received from a program to a user in an area used for displaying messages from multiple programs. The message may be received with an indication that the user is to be notified upon receipt of the message, however the user can disable or enable such notifications.

System and method for providing notices to users of a computer program in a flexible way

A system and method communicates address and state information from a browser to a rich Internet application to allow the rich Internet application to start at a location, or preload variables, corresponding to the state information. The system and method communicates address and state information from the rich Internet application to the browser to allow such information to be displayed by the browser for use or retrieval.

System and method for communicating state and title information between a browser and a rich Internet application

A system and method installs a computer program, as well as the environment in which the computer program operates, if such environment is not already installed. The program as well as its environment are obtained via one or more servers and a computer network.

System and method for installing one or more programs, and at least a portion of their environment

Systems and methods communicate data selected from one program to another program or component of another program. A system can receive an identifier of at least one type of data each of a plurality of programs can receive. The system can store the identifiers and can receive a data selection command relative to one of the plurality of programs via a user interface. The system can also receive, in response to the obtained data selection command, data associated with the data selection command and an identifier of the type of the data associated with the data selection command. The system can also identify at least one other program in the plurality of programs whose identifier matches the identifier of the type of data received, and can provide, based on input, the data received to at least one of the at least one other program in the plurality of programs identified.

System and method for communicating data among two or more programs

The present invention teaches a digital media file conversion and integration system including a server coupled to the Internet to allow users to download media files to a server the Internet. The system contains devices to screen, compress, and update the media files, devices to break down the media files into low level components, devices to convert one or media files to an intermediate format and then combine the intermediate formats to create an output format, devices to convert output formats to a presentation file, electronic storage to allow third party access to the presentation file through the Internet or email. Presentation files can be created for electronic devices such as portable digital assistants or cellular phones. Users can choose from several output formats. Users can subscribe to the presentation service or pay per use. In an alternate embodiment, users can author digital media files on a personal computer and download the authored file to the presentation conversion system.

System, method and apparatus for converting and integrating media files

The inventive editor allows web authors to edit HTML visually while preserving the HTML source document. The editor preserves the structure and format of the HTML, and permits simultaneous modeless visual and source document editing. When an edit is made with the invention, only the HTML source around that edit is updated, rather than rewriting the whole HTML source document. Furthermore, when an edit is made, the new HTML source code is outputted in a format that is specified by the user. In order to preserve the format of the document, format information is stored in the parsed tree. The format of the node is preserved when its source is regenerated; edits to the node will reformat it according to user preferences. In order to preserve the structure of the document, invalid HTML structures are maintained and not corrected. The invention will either support the invalid structure by reflecting such structure in the parsed tree, and thus allow for editing of the structure, or the invention will not support such a structure, and represent such structures as invalid nodes. Moreover, the invention also maintains structure while editing, as the structure and format of the document is only minimally modified during editing, i.e. only the nodes affected by the edits are restructured and reformatted, and the remainder of the document is unmodified.
