iRise Awarded Patent no. 7,174,286 Feb. 6, 2007
iRise was awarded its first U.S. patent, no. 7,174,286, by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). The patent covers iRise's invention for the systems and methods for defining a simulated interactive Web page. Similar to computer-aided design (CAD) tools for other industries, simulations built with iRise act as visual blueprints for specifying complex business applications. The patent was awarded on Feb. 6, 2007.
The invention covered by this patent is the use of a graphical, drag-and-drop interface to allow non-technical users to define functionally rich simulations – without resorting to software code to generate them. The state-of-the-art prior to iRise’s invention was to repurpose tools and languages originally created for production software development to create 'prototypes'. With this invention, the user is shielded from learning keywords, complex syntax and other challenging requirements common in programming and scripting languages. The patent also protects certain specific implementations of our "alternate view" and "reusable master" features.
iRise Awarded patent no. 7,349,837 B2 March 25th, 2008
iRise has been awarded a second U.S. patent by the U.S. Patent Trademark Office (PTO), no. US 7,349,837 B2. The iRise patent covers the "systems and methods for a programming environment for a simulation of a computer application." This patent primarily concerns editing and association of text-based requirements in context with visual simulations in iRise Studio, which is the authoring tool used to create interactive, high fidelity visualizations of business applications. The patent was awarded on March 25th, 2008.
Specifically, the patent covers these areas:
- Showing a graphical programming area for a simulation;
- Showing text requirements at the same time;
- Allowing the user to associate text requirements with elements of the simulation; and,
- Storing such association for future reference.
The patented functions give simulation authors the ability to tightly couple visual simulations with written business requirements to ensure they are in sync.
iRise Patent Portfolio Continuing to Grow
iRise's patent portfolio is expected to grow further with three other patent applications under review by the U.S. PTO, and similar submissions with the European Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) office.
