Mobile device server, Tue Oct 02 18:12:15 EDT 2007

A mobile device server includes a flexible architecture having a plurality of components for allowing various mobile devices and protocols to communicate with each other and to receive data from various information spaces. Interface devlets send and receive messages in respective protocols. Access infolets utilize respective access methods to provide an abstract view of various information spaces. Logic applets implement service and/or application logic by processing information from one or more infolets. A further component referred to as a let engine communicates with the devlets, infolets, and applets, and maintains user and device profile information to provide a flexible framework for the mobile device server that can readily support new devices and protocols.

Information Access System And Method For Archiving Web Pages, Tue Sep 02 18:08:51 EDT 2003

The present invention presents a system and method of providing information retrieved from a server from across a communication network that enables archiving services that do not interfere with existing components and protocols. The services enable users to retrieve and/or search for old information, even after such information has evolved or disappeared from the original server. The network resource naming (e.g. URL) format is extended to include archive directives that are intercepted and performed by a proxy server. The proxy interprets the archive directive and executes the specified archival command: e.g., adding the information to a storage repository, searching and retrieving the information from the storage repository, scheduling automatic archiving of specified server information, transparent archiving of information that is accessed by the client or of the client's cache. The information can be easily indexed by a timestamp. Multiple proxy servers can collaborate permitting information to be archived in a distributed fashion. Embodiments of the present invention advantageously do not require changes to client or server software or communication protocols.

Querying And Navigating Changes In Web Repositories, Tue Jan 12 18:05:07 EST 1999

WebGUIDE is a system for exploring changes to World Wide Web pages and web structure that supports web time travel, i.e. users may explore the differences between pages with respect to two dates. Differences between pages are computed automatically and summarized in a new HTML page, and differences in link structure are shown via graphical representations. WebGUIDE is the combination of two tools that complement one another: (1) the AT&T Internet Difference Engine (AIDE), a tool for tracking and viewing modifications to World Wide Web pages, which has been extended to support recursive tracking of pages; and (2) Ciao, a graphical navigator that allows users to query and browse structural connections embedded in a document repository. The union of these tools lets users get information on the evolution of pages of interest (both textually and graphically), browse the differences interactively, and dynamically modify the set of pages with which they interact.
