Abstract:

A user of a client device selects a service provider from a plurality of available service providers. The client device then queries the user for the user's information and formats the user's information into a predetermined data structure and format. The client device connects to the service provider and sends the formatted user's information to the service provider. The service provider responsively creates configuration data and provides it to the client device. The configuration data is used to configure a plurality of applications on the client device, allowing the user to establish future communication sessions with the service provider.

US Classification:

709213, 709219, 719329, 707104

Abstract:

Disclosed is software architecture and method for sharing data objects among multiple applications in a client device. The architecture includes a server process in the client device for processing a template, such as a SHTML template for the Extended Markup Language (XML), based on a template identifier value received from a user application. Each of multiple applications has a template. Each template identifies a series of objects identified by tag values, such as XML entities, that are to be incorporated into a display page. A database of objects, such as a database of XML entities identified by tag values, is maintained that contains data objects for the applications. An update process periodically establishes a communication link with a remote server and requests download of a data document containing content data corresponding to at least a portion of several of the templates. The data document is parsed into the database of objects based on the structure of the data document, which generally conforms to a data type definition. When the server process processes different templates that reference the same data object, it will retrieve the data object from the database.

H04W 76/14
G06F 3/12
H04L 29/08
H04W 12/06

Abstract:

A disclosed example is a server residing on a first network. The server has an observer. The observer receives observational data from a media processing device residing on a second network via a first persistent connection between the media processing device and the server. The observer provides, via the first persistent connection, a configuration file to the media processing device that defines a type of the observational data to be collected by the media processing device. The observer is prevented from communicating an operational instruction to the media processing device. The operational instruction is to control media processing hardware of the media processing device.

H04N 1/00

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus to communicate data associated with media processing devices are disclosed. An example media processing device residing on a network includes a monitor configured to collect observational data associated with the media processing device in accordance with a configuration file stored on the media processing device; and communicate the observational data to a first device external to the network via a first persistent connection between the media processing device and the first external device; and a controller configured to receive an operational instruction from a second external device via a second persistent connection between the media processing device and the second external device, wherein the second persistent connection is independent of the first persistent connection; and implement the operational instruction on the media processing device, wherein the operation instruction controls media processing hardware of the media processing device.

Abstract:

An example disclosed method includes querying, via a logic circuit, a media processing device memory for files that can be stored to a USB storage device, the USB storage device being connected to a USB Host port of the media processing device; receiving a selection of one of the files to be stored to the USB storage device; determining, via the logic circuit, if the selected one of the files is a particular type of file, and if the selected one of the files is the particular type of file, converting the selected one of the files from a first representation to a second representation; and storing the selected one of the files in the second representation to the USB storage device.
