1. The Field of Invention

The embodiments of the present invention relate generally to the convergence of information based on user preferences and, more specifically, to apparatus and methods of interacting with multiple information forms across various types of computing devices and platforms.

2. Description of Related Art

Digital content has made huge advancements in several areas, such as video, text, pictures live streaming of video, remote interaction with devices, 3D graphic visualization of objects, and digital audio.

Many content interaction metaphors were created through the various evolutions of the interfaces of devices across platforms, including mobile devices, desktops laptops, laptop screens as well as mobile phones. Users must acknowledge that different devices require the right expertise for each format in order to make them useful. The utility of information has grown and similar content is accessible from different devices, but using different access methods and metaphors.

The Internet’s first browsers were a solution for creating the concept of a “window” or “portal” onto personalizable content to manage the proliferation and growing quantity of electronic information. Some consumer interfacetechnologies have focused on simplification and ease of use. These technologies (ex. Google.RTM. Google.RTM. Apple.RTM. These technologies are mostly text- or 2-dimensional (“2D”)-centric.

The use of 3D visualization techniques is restricted to a narrow range of applications, with the majority of them being in the technical Computer Aided Design (“CAD”) fields. These fields are where skilled users receive special training and are able to manipulate specialized applications. 3D gamingtechnologies are now affordable and easily available for high-end visualization of sound, animation, and other forms of data. But, they do not have business applications due to their primary focus on the player/user’s point of reference. Gaming technologies can treat objects in the 3D framework as visual references. They do not work well with complex or cross-platform information management systems.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solution to address the above and other problems.

Certain aspects of the present invention provide a system, a method and computer program program for interacting with multiple information forms across multiple types of computers, including interactive displays and communication devices without the limitations of prior systems. A system, method, and computer program product in accordance with the present invention may employ a universal grid of channels to engage in context relevant interactions with any type of content and the content’srepresentation as a selectable item, such as a graphic, picture, video, and the like.

Computer-readable storage media is provided to enable interaction with multiple types of information across various computing devices, according to an aspect of the invention. The computer-readable storage media may include computer-readable instructionsconfigured to cause one or more computer processors to execute the operations including authenticating a user, establishing a channel grid framework for the user on a first platform where the channel grid framework provides access to a first computerapplication displayed on a display device as a channel. Computer-readable instructions may be contained in computer-readable media. The instructions are set to trigger three to four processors to execute the operations. This includes deploying the channel that was created on the channel grid framework of the first platform framework to a different platform and then performing a copy operation to the channel, and setting up a run-time app of the original application on the second platform.

What is a patent?

A patent is granted by the government in order to protect an invention. It gives the inventor the rights to create, use and market the invention. Society gains when new technologies are brought to the market. These benefits may be realized immediately by people who are able to accomplish feats previously unattainable as well as indirectly through the economic opportunities that innovation provides (business growth, jobs).

Many pharmaceutical firms and university researchers are seeking protection under patents for their research and development. Patents can be granted for products, processes, or method of making new materials. Patent protection has to be granted to an invention that is useful or novel and is not already known by others in the same area.

Patents are awarded to inventors who have commercially viable inventions. They serve as a motivator for inventors to create. Patents permit inventors and small businesses to be confident that there’s the possibility that they’ll get a profit for their efforts, time and money spent on technological development. They can earn a living from their work.

Patents play essential roles in companies, and they can:

Create and protect new products and services that are innovative;

Your product will be more visible, valuable, and attractive to customers.

Stand out and differentiate yourself and your product from others.

Access to business and technical knowledge and data;

Beware of the danger of accidentally using proprietary third-party content or losing valuable information, innovative outputs, or another creative output.

Patents convert knowledge of the inventor into a marketable asset, which creates new opportunities to create jobs by licensing joint ventures and joint ventures.

Investors in the commercialization and development of technology will find small businesses with patent protection appealing.

Patenting can lead to new inventions and ideas. These information may be protected by patents.

Patents can be used as a deterrent for untrustworthy third-party companies that profit from the invention’s success.

Commercially successful patent-protected technology revenues can be used to finance technological research and development (R&D), which will increase the chance of better technology in the coming years.

Intellectual property ownership is a way to convince investors and lenders that there are legitimate chances to commercialize your product. One patent that is powerful could lead to numerous financing options. Patents as well as other IP assets are able to be used as collateral or security for financing debt. Investors can also see your patent assets to boost the value of your company. Forbes and other publications have stated that each patent can increase the value of a company by anything from $500,000 to $1 Million.

Startups require a well-designed business plan that builds on the IP to prove that your product/service is distinct and superior or ingenuous. In addition, investors will be impressed if you demonstrate that your IP rights are secure or is in the process of becoming secure, and that they support your business strategy.

It is vital to keep an invention secret prior to filing a patent application. Public disclosure of an invention could often damage its novelty and invalidate it. Therefore, prior filing disclosures (e.g. for testing marketing, investors, or other business partners) must only be done following the signing of a confidentiality agreement.

There are several types of patents. Understanding these is vital to safeguard your invention. Patents for utility cover methods and inventions made by machines. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Patents for utility are the most effective as they protect the owner from copycats and other competition. They are typically issued to improve or modify existing inventions. Patents issued under utility can be used to improve or alter existing inventions. For example, a process patent will cover acts or methods for performing one specific thing, whereas chemical compositions are a mixture of components.

How long will a patent last? Utility patents last 20 years from the initial date they were filed, but their expirations can be extended because of delays at the patent office such as.

How to Search for Patents

The first step to obtain the patent you want is to conduct the patent search. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Patent-pending is the name used to describe the product that has been covered by the patent application. You can search the public pair to find the patent application. Once the patent office approves the application, you will be able to perform a patent search to find the patent that was issued which means that your product will now be patented. In addition to the USPTO search engine, you can use other search engines such as espacenet, which is described below. It is possible to seek help from an attorney for patents or a patent attorney. Patents in the United States are granted by the US trademark and patent office as well as the United States patent office. The office also examines trademark applications.

Are you interested in finding similar patents? These are the steps to follow:

1. Brainstorm terms that describe your invention based upon the purpose, composition and use.

Start by writing down a succinct, precise description of your invention. Avoid using generic terms such as “device”, “process,” or “system”. Instead, consider synonyms to the terms you selected initially. Then, note crucial technical terms as well as key words.

Use the following questions to help you determine the keywords or concepts.

  • What’s the goal of the invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
  • Is invention a way to create something or perform some function? Are you referring to a product?
  • What is the basis of the invention? What is the physical makeup of the invention?
  • What’s the purpose of the invention
  • What are the terms used in technical terminology and key words that define the nature of an invention? To help you find the correct terms, consult an online dictionary of technical terms.

2. Use these terms to search for relevant Cooperative Patent Classifications at the Classification Text Search Tool. If you’re not able to determine the correct classification to describe your invention, scan through the classification’s class Schemas (class schedules). Think about substituting the words you use to describe your invention if you don’t find any results in the Classification Text Search with synonyms similar to the words you used in the first step.

3. Go through 3. Check the CPC Classification Definition to confirm the validity of the CPC classification you found. If the classification you have selected has a blue box with a “D” on its left, clicking on the hyperlink will take you to the CPC classification description. CPC classification definitions can help identify the specific classification’s scope which is why you can be sure to select the most relevant. These definitions may also include some search tips or other recommendations that can be useful for further research.

4. Get patent documents using the CPC classification from the Patents Full-Text and Image Database. By focusing your search on abstracts and illustrations you can narrow your search for the relevant patent documents.

5. Utilize this list of most pertinent patent documents to look at each one thoroughly for similarities to your own invention. Pay attention to the specification and claims. There are many patents available by referring to the patent examiner as well as the applicant.

6. You can retrieve published patent applications that match the CPC classification you chose in Step 3. It is possible to use the same search strategy as Step 4, narrowing your search results to the relevant patent application through the abstract and illustrations on every page. The next step is to review all published patent applications carefully with particular attention paid to the claims as well as other drawings.

7. You can search for other US patent publications using keyword searches in AppFT or PatFT databases, as well as search for patents classified as not from the US as described below. Additionally, you can make use of search engines on the internet to find non-patent-related documents that describe inventions in the literature. For example:

  • Add keywords to your search. Keyword searches may turn up documents that are not well-categorized or have missed classifications during Step 2. For example, US patent examiners often supplement their classification searches with keyword searches. Think about the use of technical engineering terminology rather than everyday words.
  • Search for foreign patents using the CPC classification. Then, re-run the search using international patent office search engines such as Espacenet, the European Patent Office’s worldwide patent publication database of over 130 million patent publications. Other national databases include:
  • Search non-patent literature. Inventions can be made public in many non-patent publications. It is recommended that you search journals, books, websites, technical catalogs, conference proceedings, and other print and electronic publications.

To review your search, you can hire a registered patent attorney to assist. A preliminary search will help one better prepare to talk about their invention and other related inventions with a professional patent attorney. In addition, the attorney will not spend too much time or money on patenting basics.
