International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709219

Abstract:

A method and system are disclosed for delivering interactive links for presenting applications and second information at a client computer from remote sources in a network-configured computer processing system. In one embodiment, the method includes retrieving over a first communication connection, in response to a request of a client computer, informational content having computer program code embedded therein, and executing the embedded computer program code for establishing a second communication connection to an application server. The method further includes retrieving over the second communication connection first information including presentational information for presenting the application and the second information. The method also includes presenting the application and the second information based upon the presentational information, and storing on the client computer an interactive link for selectively re-establishing the second communication connection to the application server for retrieving the first information and presenting the application and the second information on an as-needed basis. Preferably, the storing of the interactive link includes downloading a graphical representation of the interactive link and storing a file containing information representing an operating environment of the client computer and a network address of the application server.

Abstract:

The computerized method and apparatus for mobile device interactivity includes hosting a network application on a server. The method and apparatus further includes receiving, at the network application on the server, an event message from a mobile application executing on a mobile device, the mobile application having executable code embedded therein for communicating with the network information for presenting a user interface for the network application on the mobile device, the event message reporting an action taken via the user interface. The method and apparatus further including executing application logic within the network application to generate data values based on the action reported in the event message and mobile device information and sending to the mobile device an update message with at least some of the generated data values and instructions for use by the executable code to present the data values within the user interface at the mobile device.

International Classification:

US Classification:

707503

Abstract:

A method and system for calculating values for fields interrelated by circular formulas in a data network is described. The system contains a first calculator for which a first field serves as an input value and a second field serves as an output and a second calculator for which the second field serves as an input value and the first field serves as an output. A conflict checker determines whether a circular conflict exists after input of the input value into the first field or the second field, and a conflict resolver resolves the conflict by suppressing the input value in the first field or second field upon determination of the circular conflict.
