Appl. No.:

10/379100

Inventors:

Fabrice Chupin - Los Altos CA, US
David Smith - Cupertino CA, US
Scott Jarol - Gig Harbor WA, US
David Redkey - Santa Clara CA, US

International Classification:

G09G005/00

US Classification:

345/738000

Abstract:

A web browser for Internet access distinguishes between client users and supervisory users. Supervisory users are authorized to create and/or modify local content access settings to Internet resources that are stored in a local data structure and/or a remote data structure. Client users are prevented from accessing these local content access settings. When a client user logs on, the all-in-one environment retrieves the local content access settings and connects to a predetermined remote site to retrieve additional content access control information. Modules embedded within the all-in-one environment coordinate local and remote control access settings to provide regulation, in the form of control and/or screening of the Internet resources, of the content that the client user can access. The amount of regulation afforded is readily modified through the setting of local content access settings by a local supervisor and by the selection of the remote site(s) contacted for additional content access control information. The all-in-one environment also encompasses one or more interactive agents to assist and/or entertain client users during Internet access. In some embodiments of the present invention, the all-in-one web browser is rendered to have a three-dimensional look and feel and provide unique features to enhance the web browsing experience.

Inventors:

- Palo Alto CA, US
David Redkey - Belmont CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 16/28
G06F 16/25
G06F 8/34
G06F 8/30

Abstract:

Override parameters for one or more of default parameters of a virtual entity are received. The override parameters are applied to the one or more default parameters to generate a modified virtual entity. The modified virtual entity is caused to be instantiated in one or more client applications while the one or more client applications are running.

International Classification:

G06T 13/40
G06T 15/04
G06T 17/20

Abstract:

Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a method, a system, and an article for animating characters in a virtual environment. An example computer-implemented method can include: (a) generating a plurality of snapshots of a 3D mesh in an animation sequence, wherein each snapshot includes the 3D mesh in a distinct frame of the animation sequence, and wherein the animation sequence includes a loop; (b) assigning each frame of the animation sequence to one of a plurality of 3D virtual objects corresponding to the 3D mesh; (c) rendering a graphical image including the plurality of 3D virtual objects according to the assigned frames; (d) incrementing the assigned frame for each 3D virtual object to a next frame in the loop; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d).
