Abstract
A client/server network enables access to non-HTML objects from a web browser. The system includes a database for storing non-HTML files. A system user requests a non-HTML file from a database using a web browser. The web browser transmits the request to a server via a HTTP server and module. The server locates and retrieves the object requested. The module translates the object to a format supported by the web browser. The HTTP server communicates the translated file to the web browser over a network. The web browser then presents the translated file to the system user.
Claims20
A server system providing integrated scheduling and calendaring capability comprising:
- a server;
- at least one database associated with the server, the at least one database including a plurality of non-markup language objects, wherein at least one of the non-markup language objects comprises scheduling and calendaring information for at least one user;
- and
- a user interface that displays a plurality of object representations that correspond to the plurality of non-markup language objects,
- wherein the server enables selection of one or more of the plurality of object representations, and translates one or more non-markup language objects that correspond to the selected one or more object representations, the one or more non-markup language objects being translated to at least one markup language object.
A server system providing integrated scheduling and calendaring capability comprising:
- storing means for storing a plurality of non-markup language objects, wherein at least one of the plurality of non-markup language objects comprises scheduling and calendaring information for at least one user;
- displaying means for displaying a plurality of object representations that correspond to the plurality of non-markup language objects;
- selection enabling means, in communication with the storing means, for enabling the user to select one or more of the plurality of object representations;
- and
- translating means for translating one or more non-markup language objects that correspond to the selected one or more object representations, the one or more non-markup language objects being translated to at least one markup language object.
A method for providing a server with integrated scheduling and calendaring capability comprising the steps of:
- storing a plurality of non-markup language objects in at least one object store, wherein at least one of the non-markup language objects comprise scheduling and calendaring information for at least one user;
- displaying a plurality of object representations that correspond to the plurality of non-markup language objects;
- enabling selection of one or more of the object representations from the plurality of object representations;
- and
- based on the selection, translating one or more non-markup language objects that correspond to the selected one or more object representations, the one or more non-markup language objects being translated to at least one markup language object.
A processor readable medium having processor readable code embodied therein for providing a server with integrated scheduling and calendaring capability, the medium comprising:
- processor readable code for causing a processor to store a plurality of non-markup language objects in at least one database, at least one non-markup language object of the plurality of non-markup language objects comprising scheduling and calendaring information for at least one user;
- processor readable code for causing a processor to display a plurality of object representations that correspond to the plurality of non-markup language objects;
- processor readable code for causing a processor to enable selection of one or more of the plurality of object representations;
- and
- processor readable code for causing a processor, based on the selection, to translate one or more non-markup language objects that correspond to the selected one or more object representations to at least one markup language object.
