System And Method For Presenting Computerized Interactive Forms To Respondents Using A Client-Server-Systems Technology Based On Web Standards

US Patent:
2005008, Apr 21, 2005
Filed:
May 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/438095
Inventors:
Christopher Balz - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06F015/00
US Classification:
715505000
Abstract:
An improved system and method for presenting computerized interactive forms (such as survey questionnaires, employment applications, etc.) via the Internet to human respondents making use of client computers. The invention is a cross-platform web application written in Java and JavaScript. The presented questions/items are selected dynamically as a respondent fills in the information for each question/item. A code-length-reducing software architecture—wherein all objects are widgets—along with a design choice of inheritance makes for maximum code clarity, impressive code compactness, and swift parsing. More information and a higher quality of information are collected from a respondent, because waiting time is reduced and only relevant questions are presented. Implementation of parent-child containment in the widget set, coupled with a JavaScript skeleton design system, facilitates respondent-friendly display design by interface designers, and a rapid design process.

Jul 6, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/921756
Inventors:
Christopher Mark Balz - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 16/951
G06F 16/955
G06F 3/0481
Abstract:
Apparatus is described for directing a user's local web browser/web view to refresh the top-level container that is currently displaying the content presented by a remote computer with the new content that a navigational link, within the remote desktop, remote desktop application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, points to. In response to navigation action on a link, the client of a remote graphical computer desktop, remote graphical application window or remote graphical windowing user session is sent a navigation command so that it wholly reloads its top level container with content provided by a destination URL or URI. Such a URL or URI may point to another remote graphical computer desktop, remote application window or remote graphical windowing user session.

International Classification:
G06F 16/951
G06F 3/0481
G06F 16/955
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is described for directing a user's local web browser/web view to refresh the top-level container that is currently displaying the content presented by a remote computer with the new content that a navigational link, within the remote desktop, remote desktop application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, points to. Upon navigation action on a link, the client of a remote graphical computer desktop, remote graphical application window or remote graphical windowing user session is redirected so that it wholly reloads its top level container with content provided by a destination URL or URI.

System And Apparatus For Providing, Via Conventional Web Browsing, Browsing Capability For Search Engine Web Crawlers Between Remote/Virtual Windows And From Remote/Virtual Windows To Conventional Hypertext Documents

US Patent:
2018020, Jul 19, 2018
Filed:
Mar 16, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/923763
Inventors:
Christopher Mark Balz - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
G06F 3/0481
Abstract:
A system and apparatus is described for directing a search engine web crawler's web view to refresh the top-level container that is currently displaying the content presented by a remote computer with the new content that a navigational link, within a remote desktop, remote application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, points to. Links can be modified so as to be recognizable by the remote machine as unique from traditional hyperlinks. Upon navigation action on such a link, by the search engine web crawler that is viewing the remote graphical computer desktop, remote graphical application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, the system parses, by a link parsing routine executed by a processor, navigation data from the pop-out link, sends, by a processor, the pop-out link navigation data to a Remoting Engine that is providing the remote graphical computer desktop, remote graphical application window, or remote graphical windowing user session, sends, by a processor, over a network, a navigation command to the remoting engine client running on the search engine web crawler web view, and reloads, by a processor, a search engine web crawler web view's top level container with content provided at the pop-out link's destination URL or URI.

System, Method And Apparatus For Providing A Toggleable Remoting Mode For Computer Operating Systems

US Patent:
2017007, Mar 16, 2017
Filed:
Sep 15, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/267098
Inventors:
Christopher Balz - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 9/44
G06F 9/48
G06T 1/60
H04L 29/06
G06F 3/0484
Abstract:
Software can also be used via a remote application window, remote desktop window, or remote graphical windowing user session window. The present invention describes how software (application, desktop, or graphical windowing user session) can know whether or not it is running in local or remote mode, and control its handling of functionalities accordingly. The software does this by checking a variable set in the windowing session by the operating system. System, method, and apparatus for providing a toggleable remoting mode for computer operating systems is provided. The invention provides for dynamically setting an environment variable, that evaluates in a conditional statement, in the operating system process of a current windowing display session hosted by the operating system, upon request from a remote user to initiate a remote graphical windowing user session, a remote computer desktop, or a remote graphical application window, directing a software application to consult the variable to determine if the operating system is being used via a remote window or not, and if the environment variable evaluates to true or not, respectively, performing a functionality differently.
