Abstract
Applications are supplied to mobile devices. An application template is developed as a hierarchy of nested elements and layout data for a plurality of types of element. An application is generated by applying content data to one or more of the elements to form objects. The objects are supplied to a requesting mobile device, such that each object contains data, an identification of its position within the hierarchy and an identification of its element type. In addition, layout data is supplied to the mobile device for element types corresponding to the supplied object.
Claims1
A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a display screen, wherein the instructions when executed by the processor cause the mobile device to:
- request objects from a server computer over a network connection;
- receive objects from the server computer, wherein each object contains data, an identification of its position within a hierarchy of nested elements and an identification of its element type;
- receive layout data for element types corresponding to the objects from the server computer;
- combine the layout data with the objects to produce an application;
- and
- display the application on the display screen, the application displayed on the display screen independently of network connectivity of the mobile device.
