First Claim
1. A client device, the client device comprising:
- an electronic display;
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 being received from one or more servers over a network and 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 viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor having a frame within which the content received from the network location can be displayed, the definition of the viewer graphical user interface comprising frame characteristics defining one or more visual aspects in presentation of the frame on the electronic display; and
(3) instructions configured (i) to cause the first networked information monitor to request the 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 viewer 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 such that the viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is presented separate and outside of any graphical user interface of any other application; 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 viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is presented to a user on the electronic display in accordance with the definition of the first viewer graphical user interface in the first networked information monitor template, the viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor being so presented to display the 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.

21. 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 being received from one or more servers over a network and 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 viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor having a frame within which the content received from the network location can be displayed, the definition of the viewer graphical user interface comprising frame characteristics defining one or more visual aspects in presentation of the frame on an electronic display; and (3) instructions configured (i) to cause the first networked information monitor to request the 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 viewer 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 such that the viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is presented separate and outside of any graphical user interface of any other application; 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 viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is presented to the user on the electronic display in accordance with the definition of the first viewer graphical user interface in the first networked information monitor template, the viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor being presented to display therein the content received from the content reference. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A client device, the client device comprising:
-
an electronic display; 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 being received from one or more servers over a network and 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 viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor having a frame within which the content received from the network location can be displayed, the definition of the viewer graphical user interface comprising frame characteristics defining one or more visual aspects in presentation of the frame on the electronic display, wherein the one or more visual aspects in presentation of the frame on the electronic display comprise a color of the frame on the electronic display; and (3) instructions configured (i) to cause the first networked information monitor to request the 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 viewer 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 such that the viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is presented separate and outside of any graphical user interface of any other application; wherein the first networked information monitor corresponding to the first networked information monitor template lacks native controls that enable a user to navigate the network; 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 viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor is presented to a user on the electronic display in accordance with the definition of the first viewer graphical user interface in the first networked information monitor template, the viewer graphical user interface of the first networked information monitor being so presented to display the content received from the content reference therein. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
