System and method of providing context information for client application data stored on the web

A computer-implemented method for processing application data for storage on a network, the method comprising:

• providing a graphical user interface for a user to invoke web system services that includes a new document system service, a store document system service, and a restore document system service, wherein the user is a single registered user authenticated via a web application server, where said single registered user is the user for each client device;
• processing application data from a web application operating on a client device connected to the network;
• monitoring context information sources on the client device connected to the network, wherein the context information is to be incorporated into a web application document operating on different client devices;
• collecting context information from one or more additional devices connected to the network;
• storing the collected context information in the monitored context information sources;
• extracting the stored context information from the monitored context information sources;
• storing the extracted context information in a web application document, along with content and view information from the web application, wherein said view information is used to launch said web application;
• storing the web application document on a web server;
• wherein the stored web application document is accessible to the client devices connected to the network for:
• retrieving the stored web app application document;
• launching web applications from the client devices using the view information stored in the retrieved web application document;
• loading the content stored in the retrieved web application document onto the launched web applications using the extracted context information;
• modifying the content, wherein the content is formatted differently for each client device;
• storing the modified content onto the retrieved web application document;
• and
• restoring the web application document, wherein said web application document can be restored by a client device different from the client device that stored the web application document.

A computer system for processing application data for storage on a network, comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor;
• and
• computer-executable program code stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the computer-executable program code comprising:
• a processing module configured to process application data for an application operating on a client device connected to the network;
• a monitoring module configured to monitor context information sources on the client device connected to the network;
• and
• a collecting module configured to collect context information from one or more additional devices connected to the network, wherein each item of the context information belongs to a predefined context type for its associated application, and wherein the context information comprises a scope declared according to a predefined schema;
• wherein the content and context information is used by different web applications operating on different client devices;
• wherein the content is formatted differently for each client device;
• a storing module configured to store the context information in the monitored context information sources;
• a second storing module configured to store the context information, content, and view information in a web application document, wherein the view information provides information about an organization structure determining presentation of the application to a user, and wherein said view information is used to launch the application;
• wherein the user is a single registered user;
• wherein the single registered user is authenticated via a web application server, where said single registered user is the user for each of the client devices;
• a content loader for loading the content from the web application document onto the different web applications accessing the web application document;
• and
• a context information monitor operably coupled to each of the different web applications to monitor and collect context information specific to each of the different web applications accessing the web application document;
• wherein the memory comprises a graphical user interface for a user to invoke web system services that includes a new document system service, a store document system service, and a restore document system service.
