Abstract
A containment framework sufficiently compact and efficient to run on a wide variety of resource-constrained, small footprint devices, such as personal data assistants (PDAs), smart cellular phones, global positioning system (GPS) receivers, etc. The containment framework may support services which integrate with network-based services to deliver personalized content to small footprint device users.
Claims34
A method for sending content to a device, the method comprising:
- the device connecting to a first network;
- the device communicating with a service accessible from the first network to send information to the service accessible from the first network;
- the service accessible from the first network storing the information;
- the service accessible from the second network communicating with the device to send the content to the device.
1 more element
A method for sending content to a device, the method comprising:
- the device connecting to a local area network (LAN);
- the device communicating with a first service executing on the LAN to send information to the first service;
- the first service executing on the LAN storing the information on the LAN;
- a second service executing on the LAN retrieving the information stored by the first service;
- the second service executing on the LAN generating content based on the information;
- and
- the second service executing on the LAN communicating with the device to send the content to the device.
4 more elements
