Filed:

Sep 30, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/570896

Inventors:

Joshua Scott Matthews - Baltimore MD, US

Assignee:

OPEN KERNEL LABS - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 9/445

US Classification:

717178, 717174

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a system that produces cross-platform software applications by installing different container applications on different hardware platforms. Each container application is native to that hardware platform and includes a web browser and a web server. Standard web applications run locally on the hardware platform due to the local web server, and the standard web applications appear native to each different hardware platform because a converter in the container application converts standard web browser controls to native appearing controls.

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for constructing a secure and flexible operating system. The presently disclosed system executes different user applications in different operating systems on different virtual machines. Each user application communicates with other processes via the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). In particular, each user application's user interface is implemented in a web browser that is running in its own operating system on its own virtual machine, and each user application interacts with the user interface by exchanging HTTP messages between the virtual machines.
