20090006642 | Multicast content provider - A multicast content provider operates on a multicast server in conjunction with a multicast transmission protocol that is independent of the content data transmitted and allows extensibility in the content provider to distribute any type of content. The content provider module is designed to find, read, write, and transform particular types of data into a form acceptable for transmission by the transmission protocol on the multicast server. The transmission protocol is agnostic to the type, size, format, or location of the data file. The content provider module manages these issues so that the transmission protocol does not have to. This relationship between the content provider module and the transmission protocol establishes a “generic” multicast solution, capable of complete flexibility with regard to content delivery. | 01-01-2009 |
20120131087 | CONCURRENTLY APPLYING AN IMAGE FILE WHILE IT IS BEING DOWNLOADED USING A MULTICAST PROTOCOL - A system and a process for deploying a computer file involves a client computer applying the computer file concurrently with downloading the computer file from a file server. The concurrent operations can be performed even when the data of the computer file is downloaded out of order. The computer file includes a plurality of file segments. The client computer obtains information defining the file segments and monitors the received data of the computer file during downloading. When downloading of a file segment is complete, the client computer applies the completed segment concurrently with receiving other segments of the computer file from the file server. The process can be used when the computer file is downloaded using a multicast protocol, but is not limited to use with multicast protocols. The client computer can request only needed segments of the computer file. | 05-24-2012 |

20090219294 | VISUAL STATE MANAGER FOR CONTROL SKINNING - Embodiments described herein are directed to automatically generating an animation for a transition between a current state and a new state. In one embodiment, a computer system accesses state properties of a visual element corresponding to a current state the visual element is in and a new state the visual element is to be transitioned to. The state properties include visual properties and transition description information. The computer system determines the differences between the visual properties of the current state and the new state and automatically generates an animation based on the determined differences between the visual properties for the current state and the new state, such that the animation is playable to transition the visual element from the current state to new state. | 09-03-2009 |
20100235769 | SMOOTH LAYOUT ANIMATION OF CONTINUOUS AND NON-CONTINUOUS PROPERTIES - A layout animation system is described herein that performs smooth transitions for properties of a layout, regardless of whether the layout properties are discrete or automatically calculated. Before a transition is executed, the layout animation system extracts and stores the positioning, sizing, and visibility of participating elements across the layout hierarchy. The system places the affected elements in the same position, size, and visibility as the outgoing state requests and animates the elements to an incoming state. For each element, the system calculates a smooth animation that transforms the element from the outgoing position, size, and visibility to the incoming position, size, and visibility. The system then animates the elements over a desired transition time. Thus, the layout animation system provides the ability to create smooth layout transitions in the presence of automatic layout management for properties of various types. | 09-16-2010 |
20110214079 | SMOOTH LAYOUT ANIMATION OF VISUALS - A declarative animation system allows a designer to declaratively specify transitory behavior of a user interface or other visual display by recognizing changes in an underlying data model that spans visual elements. A visual display is typically comprised of one or more visual elements, as well as an underlying data model. Although animating within a particular visual element is typically straightforward, moving items across visual elements typically involves sophisticated programming logic. However, using the declarative animation system, visual elements can be associated with an underlying data model in a manner that allows the visual display layer to recognize and respond to changes in the underlying data model. This association can also be leveraged to allow automatically generated animation between visual elements without the addition of custom programmatic code. Thus, the declarative animation system allows designers to specify intuitive, graphically sophisticated interfaces without programming knowledge. | 09-01-2011 |
20110258534 | DECLARATIVE DEFINITION OF COMPLEX USER INTERFACE STATE CHANGES - A visual layout system is described herein that supports complex interface transitions between declaratively defined interface templates and states. The system builds a correspondence between an old template and the new template, preserves visual elements that are present in both templates, and changes the visual elements' properties and position in a rendering tree as needed. The system creates or destroys visuals that are only in one template as needed. Using the visual layout system, a designer can specify states of a user interface within a declarative representation of the template that will produce the specified displays. The system allows sweeping state changes to be specified as templates for the designer. Thus, the visual layout system provides designers with an easy facility for specifying complex user interface transitions and manages the transitions at runtime for acceptable performance. | 10-20-2011 |

Accordingly, as provided herein, a model based authentication scheme may be configured based upon a policy and/or an authentication mechanism list. The policy may define the target resource, a user, a group the user belongs to, devices used to connect to the target resource, a service owning the target resource, etc. The authentication mechanism list may comprise predefined authentication mechanisms and/or user plug-in authentication mechanisms (e.g., user created authentication mechanism). Once the authentication scheme is configured, it may be enforced upon authentication requests from a user. Feedback may be provided to the user based upon patterns of usage of the target resource. | 11-25-2010 |
20140280494 | Relay Service for Different Web Service Architectures - A relay component for a back office service creates an externally exposed REST service endpoint in front of the back office service. Instead of calling the back office service directly, REST service clients make REST service calls to the relay component using the HTTP protocol. The relay component coverts the data to XML format and sends it in a SOAP call to the back office service. The relay component receives the response from the back office service as a SOAP response that is converted to a REST message to be sent to the REST client. | 09-18-2014 |
20140282989 | Actively Federated Mobile Authentication - To make a trusted web service call, a client application sends a series of messages to obtain tokens that allow service requests to pass through a service relay. The user obtains a first security token by providing the user's credentials. A second token is obtained from a trust broker that validates the first token. Both tokens are then sent with a service request to a service relay. The service relay validates the second token and then passes the first token and the service request to a connector service. The connector service validates the first token and passes the service request to a target back end service. The connector service acts as the user when communicating with the back end service. Service responses are routed back to the user through the connector service and the service relay. | 09-18-2014 |
