Digital image magnification for internet appliance

Abstract: A magnifying tool that enlarges a selected region of displayed image surrounding a cursor in a graphical user interface (GUI), and superimposes the enlarged region directly over the selected region (and a portion of the adjacent non-selected region). The location of the cursor relative to the enlarged region is co-located with the location of the cursor relative to the selected region such that the locations are identical.

Interstitial advertising display system and method

Abstract: A method of display as a user of the Internet uses a client machine during an Internet transaction (e.g., e-mail, file transfer, bulletin board, chat or browsing). The client machine supports a graphical user interface and mechanisms that provide such Internet services. The method locally stores information content served during idle periods when the user's connection to the network is live. During a given Internet transaction, the information content is retrieved and displayed to provide entertainment or information as the user waits for the Internet transaction to be completed.

Study on Security Architecture for Internet of Things

Abstract: The development of Internet of Things(IoT) will bring a new ubiquitous computing and communication era. Due to the lack of security mechanisms in the early Internet, we had to build patches to improve the security of it, which leads to that the Internet security is always a big risk. To avoid the same thing happened in building IoT, the security of IoT should be systematically studied from the beginning design of the IoT. In this paper, based on the studies on the IoT architecture and the analysis on the secure threats in IoT, the security architecture of the IoT is presented on the basis of the secure architecture of the information system, the related secure problems in the IoT are analyzed from the aspect of the secure service, secure domain and network layer. In addition, the limitation and the hardness work for the future are pointed out in this field.

The next-generation Internet

Abstract: The author predicts the future of the Internet. The Internet was first used for remote terminal login, then file transfer, e-mail, and newsgroups. A long time later, we got Web publishing. Now there's Web commerce. Where next? Well, as broadband is deployed and the Internet heads toward all-optical, there will be a lot more e-mail, a lot more Web commerce, and so on. But what new applications will develop? For one thing, the Internet will subsume the telephone network. Telephone traffic is increasing less than 10 percent per year, while Internet traffic is doubling every four months. If Internet traffic did not surpass telephony by the end of the millennium, it will soon. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) will be a trivia sidelight of the Internet right after that. After telephone, television. Internet protocols and bandwidth will need upgrading before television can be carried well, but it inevitably will move to the Internet. Why? The Internet can make television interactive: give it a million channels. The author does not mean turning your TV into a PC monitor, and he doesn't mean carrying the Internet on television networks (CTMs). He means carrying television on the Internet, in packets, using Internet packets: TVoIP. After that: Internet telepresence. There will be major substitutions of communication for travel. Less commuting. Less tedious business travel to press the flesh. We'll wire up our homes and (mostly) stay there.

Content display during idle time as a user waits for information during an internet transaction

Abstract: A method of display as a user of the Internet uses a client machine during an Internet transaction (e.g., e-mail, file transfer, bulletin board, chat or browsing). The client machine supports a graphical user interface and mechanisms that provide such Internet services. The method locally stores information content served during idle periods when the user's connection to the network is live. During a given Internet transaction, the information content is retrieved and displayed to provide entertainment or information as the user waits for the Internet transaction to be completed.
