20090043865 | METHOD FOR PRE-FETCHING DATA CHUNKS OF AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT ON A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method for downloading an attachment to an attachment viewer of a portable electronic device includes: sending an initial data request from said attachment viewer to a server in response to receipt of an email message including said attachment by said portable electronic device; accessing a graph structure representing a map of said attachment from said server, said graph structure having been previously built on said server; reconstructing said graph structure in response to said initial request and encapsulating said graph structure in data having an attachment viewer readable format, said data being stored on said server; and i) downloading successive chunks of said data from said server to said attachment viewer responsive to successive user requests; ii) storing each of said successive chunks of said data on said portable electronic device prior to display thereof; iii) displaying said successive chunks of said data on said portable electronic device and automatically downloading respective next chunks of said data from said server; and iv) while said data chunks of said data remain to be downloaded from said server performing steps i) to iii). | 02-12-2009 |
20100064019 | Method for Viewing Non-Image Attachments on a Portable Electronic Device - A method for viewing an attachment of an email message on a portable electronic device in which the attachment has a renderable format is provided. The method includes: requesting to view the attachment in an attachment viewer of the portable electronic device, building a graph structure within an attachment server representing a map of the attachment, the graph structure including at least one renderable identifier corresponding to a page of the attachment, requesting rendering of the attachment, the rendering request being send from the attachment viewer to the attachment server and including the at least one renderable identifier, initializing a rendering library and storing rendering commands -corresponding to command types of the graph structure in the rendering library, drawing the rendering commands in an off-screen bitmap, saving the off-screen bitmap as a JPEG file, sending the JPEG file to the portable electronic device and displaying the JPEG file in the attachment viewer. | 03-11-2010 |
20120117460 | URL DOCUMENT VIEWING THROUGH A PLUG-IN APPLICATION FOR A MOBILE BROWSER ON A WIRELESS DEVICE - A method is set forth of displaying a document identified by a URL on a mobile browser, comprising registering an attachment viewer plug-in to the mobile browser for a predetermined data stream content type, registering a mobile data service transcoder for predetermined document types, sending a request for the document of one of the predetermined document types from the mobile browser to the mobile service transcoder, retrieving and converting the document to the predetermined data stream content type, and forwarding the converted document from the mobile data service transcoder to the mobile browser for display via the attachment viewer plug-in. | 05-10-2012 |
20120158874 | METHOD FOR VIEWING NON-IMAGE ATTACHMENTS ON A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method for viewing an attachment of an email message on a portable electronic device in which the attachment has a renderable format. The method includes: requesting to view the attachment in an attachment viewer of the device, building a graph structure within an attachment server representing a map of the attachment, the graph structure including at least one renderable identifier corresponding to a page of the attachment, requesting rendering of the attachment, the rendering request sent from the attachment viewer to the attachment server and including the at least one renderable identifier, initializing a rendering library and storing rendering commands corresponding to command types of the graph structure in the rendering library, drawing the rendering commands in an off-screen bitmap which is saved as a JPEG file, sending the JPEG file to the portable electronic device and displaying the JPEG file in the attachment viewer. | 06-21-2012 |
20120166595 | METHOD FOR PRE-FETCHING DATA CHUNKS OF AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT ON A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method for downloading an attachment to a portable electronic device's attachment viewer includes: sending an initial request from the attachment viewer to a server in response to receiving an email including the attachment by the device; from the server, accessing a graph structure representing a map of the attachment previously built on the server; reconstructing the graph structure in response to the request and encapsulating the graph structure in data having an attachment viewer readable format; (i) downloading successive chunks of the data from the server to the attachment viewer responsive to successive requests; (ii) storing each of the successive chunks on the device prior to display thereof; (iii) displaying the successive chunks on the device and automatically downloading respective next chunks of the data from the server; and (iv) while chunks remain to be downloaded from the server performing (i) to (iii). | 06-28-2012 |
