Abstract
Supporting of web multitasking via a single web browser is important, especially for small sized communication device where a displayed web browser screen is a precious resource. The supporting of the web multitasking improves efficiency for use of the web browser resources for daily works, for example, while a person accessing a streaming video in a storage space across world wide web, the person also needs to handle an emergent incoming email. The supporting of the web multitasking is also an important step towards creating a web based computer user work environment for any type of operating system.

A method for supporting access to services, the method comprising:
- sending, by a server, information about a first service and a second service residing in the server or in at least one computing device to an end-user device to be displayed to a user to allow the user to select the first service from the information displayed to submit a first request for access to the first service;
- and
- processing by the server the first request received from the end-user device to carry out the access to the first service,
- wherein the processing of the first request comprises causing the displaying of the first and the second services on the end-user device without being blocked during a regular network traffic to allow the user to select the second service from the information displayed to submit a second request for access to the second service without waiting for completion of the first request for access to the first service.
A web based system supporting access to services, the web based system comprising:
- at least one server and one computing device interconnected across a communication network;
- and
- program code that, when executed by a server, causes the server to:
- send information about a first service and a second service, residing in the server or in the computing device, to an end-user device to be displayed to a user to allow the user selecting the first service from the information displayed to submit a first request for access to the first service;
- and
- process the first request received from the end-user device to carry out the access to the first service,
- wherein the processing of the first request comprises causing the displaying of the first and second services on the end-user device without being blocked during a regular network traffic to allow the user selecting the second service from the information displayed to submit a second request for access to the second service without waiting for completion of the first request for access to the first service.
The web system as recited in claim 30, wherein said processing of the first request comprises:
- distributing the first request to the computing device for further processing when the first service residing in the computing device, or processing the first request locally when the first service residing in the server.
A computer program product, for supporting access to services,
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that, when executed by a server, causes the server to:
- send information about a first service and a second service, residing in the server on or in at least one computing device to a first end-user device to be displayed to a first user to allow the first user selecting the first service from the information displayed to submit a first request for access to the first service;
- and
- process the first request received from the first end-user device to carry out the access to the first service,
- wherein the processing of the first request comprises causing the displaying of the first and second services on the first end-user device without being blocked during a regular network traffic to allow the first user selecting the second service from the information displayed to submit a second request for access to the second service without waiting for completion of the first request for access to the first service.
The program product as recited in claim 36, wherein the computer-readable medium further comprises program code that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device being operable to process and respond to the first request received from the server including to deliver the first service to the first end-user device.
