XSIDES TECHNOLOGIES: AN OVERVIEW

The xSides vision is to provide a dedicated communications channel from the core of the Internet directly to the display screen. At the core of the xSides technology is a revolutionary capability to control any digital display (including PC monitors and interactive TV sets) at a level in priority of the operating system resident on the digital device. This unique capability enables OEMs, application developers, content and service providers to create a two-way communications channel directly to their users without reliance on operating system functionality.

xSides patented technology and related Intellectual Property creates a protected platform for supporting open standards-based software applications. It provides control of the entire video display so that xSides-supported applications can appear on any portion of the screen, in priority of any display generated by the operating system.

As a result of this unique architecture, xSides is able to communicate directly to all the video and input mechanisms at a parallel or lower level than the OS, allowing it to create any amount of protected screen space for xSides-supported applications. xSides is also able to securely control mouse, keyboard, and other input devices such as smart card readers, bio-metric scanners and remote control input.
