| 20090100331 | METHOD INCLUDING A TIMER FOR GENERATING TEMPLATE BASED VIDEO ADVERTISEMENTS - A method and system are disclosed for allowing an advertiser or other user to create high-end advertisements via a plurality of software-based, predefined templates. The templates may include a timer for counting down the temporal length of an advertisement. Upon countdown of the timer to zero, the advertisement may terminate and automatically flow-through to the underlying content. The present system further provides a user interface allowing a user to interact with and configure the templates, thus allowing the user to control the appearance, flow, interactivity, transitions, timer, etc. of the advertisement. In addition to controlling these parameters, the templates also allow a user to associate one or more content files, or assets, with an advertisement. Thus, an advertiser may easily incorporate a video or other content into an advertisement. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090100359 | METHOD INCLUDING AUDIO FILES FOR GENERATING TEMPLATE BASED VIDEO ADVERTISEMENTS - A method and system are disclosed for allowing an advertiser or other user to create high-end advertisements via a plurality of software-based, predefined templates. The templates may be customized by a user to configure the appearance, flow, interactivity and other features of an advertisement. The present system further provides a user interface allowing a user to interact with and configure the templates, thus allowing the user to control the appearance, flow, interactivity, transitions, timers, etc. of the advertisement. In addition to controlling these parameters, the templates also allow a user to associate one or more content files, or assets, with an advertisement. These assets may including audio files. Thus, an advertiser may easily incorporate music, songs, sounds, spoken text or other audio content into an advertisement. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20090187837 | DECLARATIVELY COMPOSABLE DYNAMIC INTERFACE FRAMEWORK - An interface framework enables dynamic generation of a user interface for browsing online media content. The interface can be modified based on changing one or more configuration or data files rather than making changes to code. The files contain interface content, interface configuration parameters and content category information. The framework retrieves a collection of content corresponding to a category, configures the interface based on a set of parameters and the retrieved content, and provides the interface to a remote device. When the files used to generate the interface are modified, the interface provided by the framework thereafter is changed. As a result, the interface may be changed without modifying or adding any code or markup within the framework. | 07-23-2009 |
