Abstract
The present invention relates to application program control, in which a browser 203 receives content 208 from a server 205 and, based on the browser content, transmit a request 209 to a port on a device 202. A response is received 211 to the request from an application 204 associated with the port which indicates that the application 204 is triggered. A second request is transmitted 217 to the port on the device 202 to indicate to the application 204 that the browser 203 will handover control, at least in part, of the device 202 to the application 204.
Claims23
A method for operating a browser on a device comprising the steps of:
- receiving browser content from a server wherein said browser content includes at least one command;
- transmitting a first request to a port of said device based on said at least one command;
- receiving a response to said first request from an application on said device wherein said application is associated with said port of said device and said response to said first request indicates said application is triggered;
- and
- transmitting a second request to said port wherein said second request indicates to said application that said browser will handover to said application.
The method as claimed in in which said browser content includes a second command and said method further comprises the step of:
- performing a periodic request to said server based on said second command wherein said periodic request is for an updated browser content.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first input adapted to receive browser content from a server wherein said browser content includes at least one command;
- a first output adapted to transmit a first request to a port of said device based on said at least one command;
- a second input adapted to receive a response to said first request from an application on said device wherein said application is associated with said port of said device and said response to said first request indicates said application is triggered;
- and
- a second output adapted to transmit a second request to said port wherein said second request indicates to said application that said browser will handover to said application.
A computer program product comprising computer readable executable code for:
- receiving browser content from a server wherein said browser content includes at least one command;
- transmitting a first request to a port of said device based on said at least one command;
- receiving a response to said first request from an application on said device wherein said application is associated with said port of said device and said response to said first request indicates said application is triggered;
- and
- transmitting a second request to said port wherein said second request indicates to said application that said browser will handover to said application.
A method of operating an application on a device comprising the steps of:
- monitoring a port on said device;
- receiving a first request from a browser on said device via said monitored port wherein said first request triggers said application;
- transmitting a response to said first request to said browser wherein said response indicates that said application has been triggered;
- and
- receiving a second request from said browser wherein said second request indicates that said browser will handover to said application.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor adapted to monitor a port on said device;
- a first input adapted to receive a first request from a browser on said device via said monitored port wherein said first request triggers said application;
- a first output adapted to transmit a response to said first request to said browser wherein said response indicates that said application has been triggered;
- and
- a second input adapted to receive a second request from said browser wherein said second request indicates that said browser will handover to said application.
A computer program product comprising computer readable executable code for:
- monitoring a port on said device;
- receiving a first request from a browser on said device via said monitored port wherein said first request triggers said application;
- transmitting a response to said first request to said browser wherein said response indicates that said application has been triggered;
- and
- receiving a second request from said browser wherein said second request indicates that said browser will handover to said application.
A device, wherein said device operatively connects to a server and said device comprises a browser and an application, in which:
- said application monitors a port on said device;
- said browser receives browser content from said server wherein said browser content includes at least one command;
- said browser transmits a first request to said port of said device based on said at least one command;
- said application receives said first request from said browser via said monitored port wherein said first request triggers said application;
- said application transmits a response to said first request to said browser;
- said browser receives said response to said first request from said application wherein said response to said first request indicates said application is triggered;
- said browser transmits a second request to said port;
- and
- said application receives said second request from said browser wherein said second request indicates that said browser will handover to said application.
