Abstract
Administration of a Web page is contemplated. The contemplated administration may be used to facilitate identifying state of a Web page at a first device from a remotely located second device, optionally independently of a Web server that downloads the Web page to the device. The contemplated administration may be used to facilitate changing state of Web page as provided through the first device from the remotely located second device, optionally independent of the Web server that downloads the Web page to the device.
Claims20
A computer-readable medium having non-transitory instructions stored thereon which facilitate monitor and/or control of a first Web browser operating on a first device, the computer-readable medium having non-transitory instructions sufficient for:
- determining a document object model (DOM) associated with a Web page, the DOM including a plurality of DOM objects to be used with the Web browser to create a first visual representation of the Web page;
- and
- publishing a first copy of the DOM to a second device, the first copy identifying each DOM object as occurring at a first instance in time, the copy being sufficient for use with a second Web browser operating on the second device to create a second visual representation of at least a portion of the DOM objects identified within the copy, thereby facilitating monitor of the first Web browser.
A computer-readable medium having non-transitory instructions stored thereon which facilitate a first Web browser operating on a first device, the computer-readable medium having non-transitory instructions sufficient for:
- determining a document object model (DOM) associated with a Web page, the DOM including a plurality of DOM objects to be used with the Web browser to create a first visual representation of the Web page;
- and
- altering at least one of the DOM objects according to a control message received from a second device, the altering of the at least one of the DOM objects causing the first Web browser to create a second visual representation of the Web page, the second visual representation differing from the first visual representation in accordance with the altering of the at least one of the DOM objects.
A Web browsing system comprising:
- a device configured to facilitate download of a Web page from a Web server;
- a Web browser configured to process the downloaded Web page for visual presentation using the device;
- a model having a plurality of objects, the objects resulting from the downloaded Web page, at least some of the objects having controllable attributes, the Web browser using the model to render the visual presentation, including varying the visual presentation according to changes in the controllable attributes;
- a human computer interface (HCI) operable to facilitate changing one or more of the controllable attributes as a function of user interaction with the device;
- and
- a bridge computer interface (BCI) operable to facilitate changing one or more of the controllable attributes as a function of a control message received through a bridge, the bridge electronically connecting the device to a remotely located controller.
