20110090234 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF MULTIPLE DISPLAYS FROM A SINGLE VIRTUAL FRAME BUFFER - A system and process for controlling multiple displays from a single graphical stack. Frame data is written to a single virtual frame buffer from a single graphical stack. The frame data is subsequently displaced from the virtual frame buffer to a plurality of display buffers. In this manner, a plurality of displays are updated. The system and process can operate with displays with different display technologies, such as an electronic paper display and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). | 04-21-2011 |
20110206023 | IN-STORE READING SYSTEM - A system and method for providing digital data content to a wireless device. Although a fee is typically charged for access to the digital data content, e.g., electronic books, the system and the method provides controlled access to this content for free while the wireless device is accessing the content in a specified location, e.g., a retail location. A content control server receives a request from the wireless device requesting access to the digital data content. The request is received over a secure connection, preferably a virtual private network (VPN). The content control server monitors how much of the digital data content has been provided to the wireless device, and/or an amount of time the wireless device has been accessing the digital data content. This content control server uses this monitored data to control, throttle, the provision of the digital data content to the wireless device. | 08-25-2011 |
20120239758 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONSUMER-TO-CONSUMER LENDING OF DIGITAL CONTENT - A consumer-to-consumer lending system and method for digital content such as digital ebooks. The lending system invention enables a user who has purchased digital content to lend that content to another user. The lending system enables a lender to extend a lending offer to a lendee and a lendee to respond to the lending offer. A lendee may accept or reject a lending offer. Upon acceptance, the lending system provides the lent content to the lendee who controls the content until returning it, purchasing it or until a predetermined lending period expires. During the lending period the lender does not have access to the lent digital content item. The lending system assists a lender with initiating a lending offer, such as providing a pre-populated email form, and delivers the lend offer notification to the target lendee. Lending offers may be initiated and notifications received over common channels, including email systems, mobile devices, and web-based user accounts. The lending process can be initiated directly from a consumer device. | 09-20-2012 |
