System and methods for creating and authoring internet content using application media packages
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A client device, the client device comprising:
- electronic storage having stored thereon a plurality of networked information monitor templates defining a plurality of networked information monitors, the plurality of networked information monitor templates comprising a first networked information monitor template defining a first networked information monitor, wherein the first networked information monitor template comprises;
(1) a content reference that comprises a network location at which content for the first networked information monitor is accessible via a TCP/IP protocol;
(2) a definition of a graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor that lacks controls for manually navigating a network, and that includes a frame within which content received from the network location can be displayed, and frame characteristics defining one or more a color, a size, or a position on the electronic display of the frame; and
(3) instructions configured (i) to cause the first networked information monitor to request content from the network location in the content reference via the TCP/IP protocol, and (ii) to cause the first networked information monitor to generate the graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor with the content received from the network location via the TCP/IP protocol within the frame;
an electronic display; and
one or more processors configured to access the first networked information monitor template, and to execute the first networked information monitor template such that the graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is presented to a user on the electronic display having content received from the content reference therein.

Abstract
An Application Media Package is a software component for accessing and displaying Internet content which includes a definition for rendering a graphical user interface and a URL pointing to Internet content to be downloaded and presented within said user interface. An Application Media Viewer may be used in association with an Application Media Package to manage the collection, organization, sharing, and rendering of a plurality of such Packages. A development server supports the community of Application Media Package developers, providing developer tools, including Package templates which provide an expedient method of re-purposing existing internet media into a new presentation package by choosing from existing examples. Access to tools and information may be controlled at the development server. The development server may also provide a development and test zone for Package verification, authentication and acceptance before posting.

9. A computer-implemented method of presenting Internet content to a user, the method being implemented in a client device comprising a electronic storage, an electronic display, and one or more processors, the method comprising:
-
storing to the electronic storage a plurality of networked information monitor templates defining a plurality of networked information monitors, the plurality of networked information monitor templates comprising a first networked information monitor template defining a first networked information monitor, wherein the first networked information monitor template comprises; (1) a content reference that comprises a network location at which content for the first networked information monitor is accessible via a TCP/IP protocol; and (2) a definition of a graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor that lacks controls for manually navigating a network, and that includes a frame within which content received from the network location can be displayed, and frame characteristics defining one or more a color, a size, or a position on the electronic display of the frame; and (3) instructions configured (i) to cause the first networked information monitor to request content from the network location in the content reference via the TCP/IP protocol, and (ii) to cause the first networked information monitor to generate the graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor with the content received from the network location via the TCP/IP protocol within the frame; accessing the first networked information monitor template in the electronic storage; and executing the first networked information monitor template on the one or more processors such that the graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is presented to the user on the electronic display having therein content received from the content reference. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
