The Client-Server Solution
The Client Server Solution
By integrating all broadband applications, RapidBrowser
is the first desktop application specially designed
for high-speed users. Unlike regular browsers that are
only client applications, RapidBrowser is a client/server
application. By storing options, preferences, and multi-media
playlists on the server, RapidBrowser is the most customizable
application for broadband consumers.
Multimedia
Streaming Video
To this point, accessing streaming media on the Internet
has been a difficult and cumbersome proposition. With
the RapidBrowser, locating and watching streaming video
is easy. Consumers no longer need to navigate numerous
web pages to find and view relevant multimedia content.
Users can pre-select their own video playlist from the
programs menu, and watch their favorite programs continuously
in the order they have selected. Viewers can also now
multitask while watching video on the web. Since the
RapidMedia’s video screen is embedded into the browser,
and not on any particular web page, users can check
email, write a letter, or surf the web while their playlist
is playing. TV Mode allows users to view only the media
player while multitasking or they can view programs
in full screen mode.
Internet Radio and
MP3
Users can listen to their favorite music from Internet
radio or MP3’s from their local hard drive. As with
the video playlist, users can customize the order in
which they listen to songs.
TV Tuner Card Compatibility and PVR Functionality
The RapidBrowser integrates with Microsoft WDM compatible
TV Tuner cards allowing users to watch live television.
Perfect for the home office, the second bedroom, or
the college dorm room. Users can also record their favorite
programs with the Personal Video Recorder (PVR) built
in.
Breaking News & Video
Alert
RapidBrowser automatically notifies of new videos
or messages so users can keep up on the latest news
and information without having to actively seek it out.
Real
Time Communication
Video Conferencing
The video conferencing client allows for peer-to-peer
conferencing throughout the Internet. Users must have
a WDM compatible video camera on their system.
Instant Messaging
& Chat
IM with buddies from all major service; AOL, MSN, Yahoo
& ICQ. Automatically imports buddies so you can IM through
one easy interface. Eliminates switching costs for users.
Web
Navigation
Links Bar
Allows quick, convenient access to the best of the
web (News, Business, Sports, etc.).
Search
Search Bar integration makes it easy to quickly perform
web searches without having to open a search page. The
default search engine can be set by the user.
Tabs-Based Browsing
Unique tab-based browsing allows users to open multiple
web pages, and navigate within the pages separately.
Browsing efficiency is increased as users are able to
view and compare web pages easily.
Multiple Home Pages
Users can set up to seven multiple home pages to open
automatically when they sign on the browser.
Access
Auto Login
RapidBrowser technology can facilitate single sign
on to multiple web services. My Calendar, My Contacts,
My Hotmail, and My Yahoo are links that are provided
as examples of this “passport” type service. A great
ease-of-use feature.
Remote Login
Because RapidBrowser is a client/server application,
users can log into their account from any computer.
All of the customized settings, favorites, and content
are automatically retrieved from the server.
Email
RapidBrowser integrates with PO3 email for message
notices.
Server Storage
RapidBrowser is designed to make Favorites easier to
use and more accessible by the user. By default, RapidBrowser
can import Favorites from IE and load them into RapidBrowser’s
Favorites menu. These Favorites can then be uploaded
to the server so that they area available no matter
which computer the user logs into.
