An electronic flash-memory card has additional pipes for commands and status messages so that data pipes are not clogged with commands and status messages, allowing for a higher data throughput. The command and status pipes are activated when a UAS / BOT detector detects that a host is using a USB-Attached-SCSI (UAS) mode rather than a Bulk-Only-Transfer (BOT) mode. The host can send additional commands and data without waiting for completion of a prior command when operating in UAS mode but not while operating in BOT mode. A command queue (CQ) in the device re-orders commands for accessing flash memory and merges data in a RAM buffer. Smaller 1 KB USB packets in the data pipes are merged into larger 8 KB payloads in the RAM buffer, allowing for more efficient flash access.

The invention provides a method, device and browser for rapidly accessing a webpage, which aim at solving the problem of no caching during the first access of the browser. The method comprises the following steps of: locally establishing an optimized caching area in advance; preloading all webpage data needing to be accessed in the optimized caching area; looking up whether webpage data corresponding to a webpage access request are saved in the optimized caching area or not while the webpage access request is initiated; and if so, directly reading the webpage data from the optimized caching area; and if not so, triggering a default caching mechanism of the browser to look up whether the webpage data are saved in a default caching area of the browser. According to the invention, the access speed of the webpage (in particular complex script page) can be increased and the problem that the cache is automatically cleared by the browser can be also avoided.

A multi-level multiplexor system enables a networked browser client to access content information over a networked computer system, such as the Internet. The multi-level multiplexor system has at least one program executing on a server operably connected to the networked computer system that receives a service request from the networked browser client. In response, the program packages a reply that is returned to the networked browser client and causes that browser to automatically issue a plurality of service requests to sources of content information on the networked computer system. The packaged reply also causes the browser to present the responses to the plurality of service requests to sources of content information such that each response is selectively displayed as one of a cascaded series of pages of content information within a single window frame in the browser. In this way, the present invention is implemented as a thin-client solution with the advantages of minimizing network traffic while at the same time allow for increased speed of access to multiple sources of content information. The multi-level multiplexor system afford the user a simple, yet efficient mechanism to access to multiple sources of content information that retains the integrity of the content information without subjecting the user to the disadvantages of opening a new browser window for each new source of content information.

Application icon management includes displaying a first set of one or more application icons in a desktop display area; receiving a command; in the event that a second set of one or more application icons in an icon display area is displayed and the command corresponds to a hide command, hiding the icon display area such that the second set of one or more application icons is not displayed; and in the event that the second set of one or more application icons in the icon display area is not displayed and the command corresponds to a display command, displaying the second set of one or more application icons in the icon display area.
