The invention is directed to increasing interoperability between web-based applications and hardware functions of a mobile device. The invention includes a thick-client hardware compatibility wrapper (HCW), which renders web-based applications and manages communication between hardware functionality and the web-based application. Specifically, the HCW monitors the web-based application and identifies commands to the hardware components of the mobile device. These commands are interpreted by the HCW, which then uses native calls to perform the hardware-specific activities. The HCW is also capable of calling functions on a webpage within the web-based application in response to query commands to the web-based application or in response to hardware events from the hardware components.
A method for increased interoperability between a web-based application and hardware functions of a mobile device, comprising the computer implemented steps of:
A system for increased interoperability between a web-based application and hardware functions of a mobile device, comprising:
A computer-readable storage device storing computer instructions, which when executed, enables a computer system to provide interoperability between a web-based application and hardware functions of a mobile device, the computer instructions comprising:
