- U.S. Patent No. 5,946,647 on a "system and method causes a computer to detect and perform actions on structures identified in computer data."
- U.S. Patent No. 6,343,263 on a "data transmission system having a real-time data engine for processing isochronous streams of data includes an interface device that provides a physical and logical connection of a computer to any one or more of a variety of different types of data networks."
Both of these patents are at issue in the lawsuits between Apple and Motorola as well.
I see that the patent was filed in 2007, fortunately I've had virtual gifts on my community site http://friendsite.com/users/SocialStatus/ way before then where users could 'purchase' them or give them to other users... matches the digital element of the patent perfectly...
