Abstract
A wrap descriptor, which defines a wrap package of cards, including (i) a plurality of card descriptors, each defining card-specific components that define content, structure and a layout for an associated card and (ii) a global component descriptor for specifying a global component associated with two or more cards of the wrap package. Unlike card descriptors that define only card-specific components, global descriptors define components that can be applied to all the cards, or a designated subset of the cards, of a wrap package.
Claims17
A wrap descriptor, embedded in a tangible computer readable medium, the wrap descriptor defining a wrap package including a plurality of cards, the wrap descriptor including:
- a plurality of card descriptors, each of the plurality of card descriptors defining one or more card-specific components that define content, structure and layout for the plurality of cards of the wrap package respectively;
- and
- a global component descriptor for specifying a global component associated with at least two of the cards among the plurality of cards of the wrap package respectively.
A method for generating a wrap descriptor that defines a wrap package including a plurality of cards, the method comprising:
- (i) selecting a card among the plurality of the cards of the wrap package:
- (ii) generating one or more data objects for each of one or more component(s) associated with the selected card, the associated component(s) including card-specific component(s) and any global component(s) associated with the selected card;
- (iii) generating a card descriptor from the one or more data objects generated for the card-specific and/or any global component(s) associated with the selected card;
- (iv) generating a plurality of card descriptors by repeating (i) through (iii) for each of the plurality of cards respectively;
- and
- (v) generating the wrap descriptor from the plurality of card descriptors.
The method of 10, wherein the global component comprises one of the following:
- a text component;
- an image or photo component;
- a video component;
- a buy or purchase component;
- a book or reservation component;
- a GPS or location service component;
- an online chat component;
- a media player component;
- a behavior component;
- or
- a widget that appears within a frame.
