Content resources are managed. A request is received from a user for access to a source of content resources. It is determined that the user is authorized for access to the source. A portal Web page is generated based on a set of content element data applicable to the subscriber. The portal Web page is returned to the user. A system for use in managing content resources has a switch for receiving requests from Web browsers, a content resource management engine in communication with the switch, and a billing system in communication with the content resource management engine.

Managing content resources

A system and method for displaying tracked objects on a display is disclosed The method includes writing current location and a number of previous locations of the object with pixel values having non-zero overlay data. The system writes an ordered set of codes into the pixel values for the current location and indicates the set to a driver. The driver uses the overlay data displaying the current and several previous object locations sequentially in order of the set. The displayed locations may be displayed by unmasking the overlay data. The codes may be index values in the pixel values indicating corresponding entries in a pixel interpretation table. A driver may modify mask values in the table entries to mask or unmask overlay data in associated pixel values. The system can display many tracked objects simultaneously, without high CPU utilization or a program to draw, erase, and redraw tracked objects.
