US Patent 9928044 Information:

  • Title: Systems and methods for programming mobile devices
  • Assignee: EXPRESS MOBILE Inc
  • Inventors: Steven H. Rempell, David Chrobak, Ken Brown
  • Filing Date: 2017-09-17
  • Issue Date: 2018-03-27
  • Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method are described for generating and distributing programming to mobile devices over a network. Devices are provided with Players specific to each device and Applications that are device independent. Embodiments include a full-featured WYSIWYG authoring environment, including the ability to bind web components to objects.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

  • Independent Claim 1: This claim describes a system for generating code to display content on a mobile device (platform). The system includes a database of web services accessible over a network and an authoring tool. The authoring tool is designed to allow a user to:
    1. Define a visual element (object) to be shown on the device's display.
    2. Select a specific part (component) of a web service from the database.
    3. Connect or link that visual element with the selected web service component.
    4. Create code that, when run on the mobile device, will cause the selected web service component to be displayed on the device's screen.
  • Independent Claim 13: This claim outlines a method for providing information to multiple mobile devices (platforms) across a network. The method involves:
    1. Accepting a first piece of code over the network, which is tailored to a specific type of mobile device.
    2. Providing a second piece of code over the network, which is not dependent on any specific mobile device type.
    3. Executing both the device-specific first code and the device-independent second code on the mobile device to display web components retrieved from the network.
  • Independent Claim 14: This claim describes a method for displaying content on a mobile device using a database of web services available over a network. The method comprises:
    1. Defining a visual element (object) that will be presented on the device's display.
    2. Selecting a component from a web service that is stored in the database.
    3. Associating the defined object with the chosen web service component.
    4. Generating code that, when executed on the mobile device, will make the selected web service component appear on the device's display.

CAFC 2026 Dockets:

I do not have authoritative information regarding specific CAFC 2026 dockets for US patent 9928044 at this time. The provided patent information indicates that the "Family has litigation" and lists several US District Court cases and PTAB cases, as well as cases filed in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), including cases 23-2265, 24-1192, and 24-1977. However, without direct access to live, real-time CAFC docket information for the year 2026, I cannot confirm the existence or status of any new cases filed specifically in 2026.US Patent 9928044: Systems and methods for programming mobile devices

  • Title: Systems and methods for programming mobile devices
  • Assignee: EXPRESS MOBILE Inc
  • Inventors: Steven H. Rempell, David Chrobak, Ken Brown
  • Filing Date: 2017-09-17
  • Issue Date: 2018-03-27
  • Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method are described for generating and distributing programming to mobile devices over a network. Devices are provided with Players specific to each device and Applications that are device independent. Embodiments include a full-featured WYSIWYG authoring environment, including the ability to bind web components to objects.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

  • Independent Claim 1: This claim describes a system that creates software for mobile device displays. It includes a database of web services and an authoring tool. The authoring tool allows a user to visually define an element (object) for the mobile device screen, select a web service component from the database, link that visual element to the web service component, and then generate code. When this code runs on the mobile device, it displays the chosen web service component on the device's screen.
  • Independent Claim 13: This claim outlines a method for delivering information to mobile devices over a network. The method involves sending a first code that is specific to a particular mobile device platform and a second code that works independently of any specific device platform. Both codes are executed on the mobile device to present web components obtained over the network.
  • Independent Claim 14: This claim details a method for displaying content on a mobile device using a network-accessible database of web services. The method comprises defining a display object, selecting a component from a web service in the database, associating that object with the selected web service component, and then producing code. When this code is executed on the device, it renders the selected web service component on the device's display.

CAFC 2026 Dockets:

As of April 26, 2026, a direct search for CAFC dockets specifically pertaining to US9928044 for the year 2026 did not yield explicit results. While the Federal Circuit publishes scheduled cases for various months in 2026 (e.g., May, June, July), the provided information does not specifically list US9928044 or its associated litigation case numbers (such as 23-2265, 24-1192, or 24-1977, which are mentioned in the patent's litigation history) within these published 2026 schedules. Therefore, I cannot authoritatively confirm any new CAFC dockets initiated specifically in 2026 for US9928044 based on the current search.
