Title: Server method and system for rendering content on a wireless device

Assignee: Gotv Streaming LLC

Inventors: Pierre Carion, Kevin Smith

Issue Date: 2012-01-24

Abstract:
The patent describes a server-implemented method for processing data for a wireless device. In response to a user request, the server executes a wireless device-generic application to generate content. It then creates a first screen description, which is generic in syntax and describes relative screen locations and display object sizes, based on the content and the wireless device's rendering capabilities (device profile). This first description is then translated into a second screen description comprising discrete, low-level rendering commands tailored to the wireless device's capabilities, including physical screen positions. This translated second screen description is then sent to the wireless device for rendering.

Independent Claims Overview:

• Claim 1 (Method Claim): This claim describes a server-side method for processing data for a wireless device. It involves receiving a request from a wireless device, executing a generic application on the server to generate content, and generating a first screen description (generic in syntax, describing relative screen locations/object sizes) based on the content and the device's profile. This first screen description is then translated into a second screen description with discrete low-level rendering commands, including physical screen positions, tailored to the device's capabilities. Finally, this second screen description is transmitted to the wireless device.

• Claim 6 (System Claim): This claim outlines a server system designed to process data for a wireless device. The system includes a decoding system, a template engine, and a layout solver. The decoding system receives requests, executes generic applications, and provides a page description to the template engine. The template engine generates a high-level template by merging dynamic data (from business logic) and/or processing static pages, while considering the device's profile to eliminate unsupported content. The layout solver then translates this template into a series of basic commands (device-independent syntax with tailored parameters) that include physical screen positions, which are then sent to the wireless device.

• Claim 10 (Method Claim - Server and Wireless Device Interaction): This claim focuses on a method involving both a server and a wireless device. The server receives a request for a generic application from the wireless device, which also identifies its capabilities. The server executes the generic application and identifies a custom configuration for the device. If the custom configuration isn't on the device or is outdated, it's downloaded. The server then executes the application and transmits compiled content (basic commands with device-tailored parameters) to the device. The wireless device receives these commands and uses its graphical user interface, preprogrammed by the custom configuration, to render the content.

• Claim 15 (Wireless Device Claim): This claim describes a wireless device configured for rendering content from a remote server. The device includes a client for sending requests and receiving compiled content (basic commands with device-tailored parameters). It also has a memory to store a custom configuration, an engine/reader to interpret the basic commands, and a graphical user interface (GUI) with rendering blocks. The GUI uses the custom configuration to preprogram the rendering blocks and renders the content based on the interpreted basic commands and the custom configuration.

• Claim 19 (Method Claim - Server-side Configuration): This claim details a server-implemented method for providing custom configurations for rendering content on a wireless device. It involves receiving a request for an application and device identification from a wireless device, accessing a library of configuration data to identify a custom configuration for the device and application, and sending a message to the device identifying this custom configuration. If requested by the device, the server transmits the custom configuration to it.

CAFC 2026 Dockets:
The provided patent information indicates that US8103865 is part of a "Family has litigation." There are mentions of PTAB case IPR2023-00759 and US cases filed in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) with case numbers 24-1744 and 24-1669, as well as a US case filed in California Central District Court (2:22-cv-07556).

As of April 26, 2026, the cited CAFC cases (24-1744 and 24-1669) are from 2024, not specifically 2026. Therefore, I do not have authoritative information on specific CAFC 2026 dockets for US8103865 at this time that are directly mentioned in the provided patent text or found in a targeted search for "CAFC 2026 dockets US8103865". The search results for "CAFC 2026 dockets US8103865" did not yield any specific dockets for this patent number in 2026.
