20100106775 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE USE OF APPLICATION SERVER APPLICATIONS - To enable use of an application on an application server at a mobile communication device, at a transaction server, a message received from the mobile is pushed out to the application. Any return messages is routed back to the mobile. The transaction server may use a queue to store all messages destined to a given application and attempt to push all messages on a given queue on receipt of a further message for the queue. | 04-29-2010 |

Any return messages is routed back to the mobile. The transaction server may use a queue to store all messages destined to a given application and attempt to push all messages on a given queue on receipt of a further message for the queue. | 04-14-2011 |
20110111742 | Automatic Application Definition Distribution - A new master application definition is installed at a server. Responsively, the server determines the identity of a user associated with the server-side application related to the master application definition. The server may then generate an application definition file specific to the application and to the remote wireless device associated with the identified user. The application definition file may contain definitions for: a user interface format; a format for network messages; and a format for storing data. Using these definitions, the wireless device may receive data generated by the server-side application and formatted in accordance with the definitions. The wireless device may then present a user interface for the application. Preferably, the application definition file is an XML file. Advantageously, when changes occur to previously established server-side applications, automatic updating of devices is efficiently accomplished. | 05-12-2011 |
20120265821 | DETERMINING OPERATIONAL STATUS OF A MOBILE DEVICE CAPABLE OF EXECUTING SERVER-SIDE APPLICATIONS - To determine the operational status of a wireless communication device capable of executing server-side applications, a message is sent to the device requesting operational status of the device. The message may be may be triggered by a system administrator at a middleware server. The wireless communication device may receive the message, compose a response message indicative of the operational status of the device, and send the response message back to the middleware server. The messages may be extensible markup language (XML) messages. Composition of the response message may entail verifying that a textual operational status description forming part of the response message omits illegal XML characters, e.g., by passing the description through an XML formatter for removal of any illegal XML characters. | 10-18-2012 |

20080282227 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEVICE SKINNING - A plugin for an Integrated Design Environment is provided, including a set of commands for defining an appearance of a UI design window in the Integrated Design Environment. The appearance of the application design window simulates a display screen of a portable electronic device and the set of commands being related to one type of portable electronic device. | 11-13-2008 |
20090328000 | SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROGRAMMING A COMPUTING DEVICE - Methods and apparatus for developing software for a computing device are provided. One method includes accessing input received from an input peripheral, accessing a definition file defining a plurality of tools for code development, providing a development assistance tool on an output peripheral based on conditions and instructions in the definition file that match the input. Another method includes receiving an engine definition file corresponding to a development assistance engine incorporated into the IDE, editing the engine definition file to include programming tools that correspond with the a computer language that is native to the computing device, and saving the edited engine define file for subsequent use by the IDE. | 12-31-2009 |
20100100869 | Method of Creating an Application That Provides for the Specifying of a New Menu Item in a Context Sensitive Menu - An improved application development tool enables the creation of an application and provides for the creation of additional context-sensitive menu items. | 04-22-2010 |
20100332969 | Dynamic Use of Device Theme Parameters for Rendering Markup Content - An improved method enables markup content on an electronic device, such as a web page or other markup content, that includes its own rendering parameters to be rendered on the electronic device according to the theme rendering parameters of the device rather than the rendering parameters included on the web page. | 12-30-2010 |

20090300578 | System and Method For Developing An Application For Extending Access to Local Software Of A Wireless Device - A system and method for developing an application for subsequent deployment on a mobile device, the mobile device configured for using the deployed application to communicate over a network with a data source through a transaction server. The system and method comprising: an interface component module for providing access to a defined interface component for use in providing communication between the application and a local software configured to be resident on the mobile device; and a composer module for defining a text file containing definitions expressed in a structured definition language, the definitions describing a message section and a data section and a user interface section of the application, the composer module further for inserting handler definitions in the text file such that the handler definitions are configured for calling the interface component of the interface component module. | 12-03-2009 |
20100217747 | TRANSPARENT VIRTUAL MACHINE FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS - The inclusion of metadata within an application description file allows a virtual machine to create an application descriptor file that may be registered with the mobile device operating system so that an icon associated with the application description file may be displayed in the main ribbon. Execution of an application defined by the application definition file may then be initiated by the selection, by the user, of the icon that is associated with the application definition file. This improves over the situation wherein execution of the application defined by the application definition file would require a selection of the runtime environment for the application and then the selection of the application. | 08-26-2010 |
20110113364 | DIRECTIONAL NAVIGATION OF PAGE CONTENT - A system and method for displaying and navigating through structured content, such as a webpage, is provided. The content includes focusable elements, at least one of which is a non-enableable element that is normally not capable of gaining focus when the content is displayed in a browser or other viewing application. Navigation of the content by moving focus from one element to another includes moving the focus to the focusable, non-enableable element. The non-enableable element is defined as a focusable element by an attribute. Focusable elements may also be defined with attributes for capturing directional navigation instructions and calling event handling functions in response to detected directional navigation instructions. | 05-12-2011 |
20140351691 | DIRECTIONAL NAVIGATION OF PAGE CONTENT - A system and method for displaying and navigating through structured content, such as a webpage, is provided. The content includes focusable elements, at least one of which is a non-enableable element that is normally not capable of gaining focus when the content is displayed in a browser or other viewing application. Navigation of the content by moving focus from one element to another includes moving the focus to the focusable, non-enableable element. The non-enableable element is defined as a focusable element by an attribute. Focusable elements may also be defined with attributes for capturing directional navigation instructions and calling event handling functions in response to detected directional navigation instructions. | 11-27-2014 |
