Abstract:

Systems and methods which facilitate search engine discovery of and/or access to application program content are shown. Declarative code may be provided within the procedural code of a rich Internet application in order to identify various states, and their associated content, of the rich Internet application. A Web crawler may identify content associated with a rich Internet application using the foregoing information. Likewise, direct access to rich Internet application states associated with the identified content may be provided using the foregoing information. A translation module may be provided for interfacing between a Web crawler and a rich Internet application. Such a translation module may interact with the Web crawler to respond to Web crawler navigation instructions and access declarative code associated with different states of the rich Internet application, providing responsive information identifying content in a structure that is compatible with a search engine associated with the Web crawler.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717100

Abstract:

Systems and methods which implement declarative language for specifying states within imperative code are shown. According to embodiments an application program developer declaratively identifies one or more states within the imperative code of the application program. Declarative language identifying a particular state of an application program may both operate to identify the state and to describe the state so that the state may be selected or “jumped to” without a user having to navigate the application program flow to arrive at the state. Particular states may be described using a difference or “delta” between the particular state and another state, such as a base state. Transitions may be implemented between states, such as to provide animation, fading, color change, et cetera.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for using artwork to develop computer applications in ways that preserve the artwork's appearance and layout, including by importing the artwork and selectively replacing potions with functional components. One embodiment comprises a method for developing an application that involves displaying artwork in a design view area. The method may involve displaying artwork comprising a list representation comprising a plurality of list item representations and identifying each list item representation as a group of one or more subitem representations. The method may further comprise determining a list layout for list items using the list item representations of the artwork and inserting a list as a component in the design view area. This list may determine or otherwise be used to determine the positions of either the list item representations or list items replacing the list item representations. These positions may be determined based on the list layout that was determined.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for parameterizing animation timelines are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes displaying a representation of a timeline configured to animate a first image in a graphical user interface, where the timeline includes a data structure having one or more commands configured to operate upon a first property of the first image. The method also includes creating a parameterized timeline by replacing a reference to the first image within the timeline with a placeholder. The method includes, in response to a request to animate a second image, storing an entry in a dictionary of key and value pairs. The method further includes animating the second image by replacing the placeholder in the parameterized timeline with the reference to the second image during execution of the parameterized timeline.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for controlling the structure of animated documents are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes displaying, via a graphical user interface, a representation of a document, where the document includes a programmatic component configured to create an animation by manipulating a structure of the document, a static structure of the document corresponds to the structure of the document when the animation is not performed, and the animation, upon execution, is rendered starting from an original base state that at least partially defines the static structure. The method also includes, in response to receiving a selection corresponding to a state of the animation, designating the selected state as a new base state, wherein the new base state is different from the original base state. The method further includes altering the static structure of the document to correspond to the new base state.
