Abstract
A system and method for creation, distribution, integration, and maintenance of visual objects across various locations independent of any underlying operating systems, applications, network locations, etc. In various embodiments, information can be easily communicated, distributed, shared, and updated among various containers (e.g., browsers, applications, desktops, mobile devices, etc.) through dynamically configurable objects, regardless of where the containers are located, or what applications are running underlying the containers.
Claims20
A method for creating an object element for use in a container, comprising:
- receiving an embedded element in a target container;
- determining a type of the embedded element;
- creating an object element corresponding to the embedded element based on the determined the type of the embedded element;
- and
- integrating the object element into the target container.
A method for distributing information embedded in various data elements across different containers, comprising:
- extracting an embedded element from a source container;
- determining, in a target container, whether the embedded element is an object element;
- converting the embedded element into an object element if embedded element is determined not to be an object element;
- and
- integrating the object element converted from the embedded element into the target container.
A system for information distribution across various containers, comprising:
- a source container including one or more embedded elements;
- and
- a target container configured to receive one or more of the embedded elements from the source container, determine a type of the one or more of the embedded elements received from the source container and integrate an object element corresponding to the one or more of the embedded elements received from the source container into the target container.
