A rich user interface (UI) development framework that uses the schema of a data source to which it is relevant. The developer is able to rapidly create a data bound UI using a number of familiar gestures, including drag and drop, from the schema in a data tool window, using a designer tasks, or using a data form creation wizard. The system includes a UI generation component that allows a developer to input a number of different controls into the interface using associated control graphics. A data source object, type, or file can be passed to the UI generation component as an input. The developer chooses the desired controls and associates (or binds) the data entity of the data source with the control by any number of gestures.

A Web browser is used as the rendering engine for the client application. The browser is instructed to load a "page" (some set of instructions that eventually resolves to a sequence of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) tags which instruct the browser regarding the number / nature and layout of the controls desired) which the browser parses to produce a set of controls with the indicated containment hierarchy. These controls may contain definitions of data stores (such as the support for an XML (eXtended Markup Language) tag which produces a W3C compliant DOM (Docunent Object Model) with built-in parsing for XML documents) which may either locally define their data or cause the browser to request the data from a server on the network. Preferably, the browser then passes control to a data binding agent which will examine the controls for specification of desired data binding(s).

A logical file system is described that distributes copies of files across various different physical storage resources yet provides a consistent view to the user of his or her data, regardless of which machine the user is accessing the files from, and even when the user's computer is offline. The distributed file system uses smart data redundancy to enable a virtually infinite amount of storage as long as additional storage resources are made available to the distributed file system. The result is a reliable storage system that does not necessarily tie the user's data to the user's particular computer. Instead, the user's data is associated with the user—for life—or for however long the user would like the data to be maintained, regardless of whether the user's computer or data storage components are replaced or destroyed.

A server-side control object processes and generates a client-side user interface element for display on a web page. Multiple server-side control objects may be combined into a hierarchy of server-side control objects that cooperate to generate the resulting authoring language code, such as HTML, for display of a web page on a client. The operation of processing the client-side user interface element may include at least one of an event handling operation, a postback data handling operation, a data binding operation, and a state management operation. The state management operation relates to the state of a server-side control object.

The smart phone and tablet applications are akin to news and media websites available on the Internet in that the applications provide the latest content, richest media experience and an evolving community around the brand. The disclosure provides an efficient and inexpensive process and system for creating and managing of software applications for multiple smart phone and tablet platforms via an online platform. The systems and processes facilitate creation of applications, which communicate with a workflow implemented and powered by an online server. The systems also provides a feed server system that continuously fetches content from various feed sources, aggregates content, and maps into a local data model that can be defined dynamically. The applications are containers that request content from the served based on a token that is preinstalled into the application. The containers are built with the mechanism to bind data to layouts dynamically using the scripting code downloaded from an online server. The data, layouts and code can all be changed by the app creator on the fly. Based on the specifications of the device making the request, the token content is preprocessed and served to the application in the correct format for the receiving device. The apps combined with the online app server also provide mechanism to gather analytics about content consumptions habits, location analytics, and application usage patterns all of which could be used to curate content to be served back to the app users.

Usage semantics allow for shaders to be authored independently of the actual vertex data and accordingly enables their reuse. Usage semantics define a feature that binds data between distinct components to allow them to work together. In various embodiments, the components include high level language variables that are bound by an application or by vertex data streams, high level language fragments to enable several fragments to be developed separately and compiled at a later time together to form a single shader, assembly language variables that get bound to vertex data streams, and parameters between vertex and pixel shaders. This allows developers to be able to program the shaders in the assembly and high level language with variables that refer to names rather than registers. By allowing this decoupling of registers from the language, developers can work on the language separately from the vertex data and modify and enhance high level language shaders without having to manually manipulate the registers. This also allows the same shaders to work on different sets of mesh data, allowing the shaders to be reused. Generally, semantics can be used as a data binding protocol between distinct areas of the programmable pipeline to allow for a more flexible workflow.

A method and system for determining whether a client is attempting to copy an application or use the application without authorization. First, data for at least one prediction log file for the application is created. Then, based on the at least one prediction log file, prediction knowledge is determined for the application, where the prediction knowledge is stored in a prediction file. The prediction file is then forwarded to the client executing the application. It is then determined by using the predication file whether the client is attempting to copy the application or use the application without authorization. If the client is attempting to copy the application or use the application without authorization, then the client's access to the application is terminated. In an offline mode, usage information is bound to user saved data such that modification of usage information renders user saved data unusable. This prevents unauthorized access to an offline delivered application.

A runtime architecture for Web services utilizes a container driver to accept an invoke request for Web services. The container driver performs any necessary data binding / unbinding required to process the invoke request and associated message context, utilizing an appropriate plugin component. An interceptor receives the context information and modifies the message context for Web service compatibility. An invocation handler receives the formatted context information and passes parameters from the message context to the target of the request. The invocation handler processes values returned from the target and passes them to the container driver, which can formulate and return a response, along with the message context, to the client or protocol adapter. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.

One embodiment of the invention enhances the security of electronic signatures during transmission. A peripheral device, which may be located remotely and separate from a host processing system, captures the signature. The peripheral device then binds the signature to the particular transaction record and transmits it to the host processing system. The host processing system validates or confirms the received signature before accepting the transaction. Binding the signature and record data together at the point-of-use reduces the likelihood that someone may be able to hack into the transmission medium, encrypted or not, and obtain the raw signature data. By binding or associating the signature and transaction record data together at the point-of-use, each transaction has a unique key, further foiling attempts at hacking. In various implementations, rather than associating the whole signature with the transaction record data, signature sample points or segments are encrypted with transaction record data.
