The server may request and send the webpage resources to the computing device based on the manifest information, to which the computing device may render the webpage. The server may access the webpage and generate meta data to create the manifest. The server may alternatively send the manifest information to the computing device. | 2013-08-29 |
20130226993 | MEDIA ACQUISITION ENGINE AND METHOD - Disclosed is a media acquisition engine that comprises an interface engine that receives a selection from a plug-in coupled to a media client engine where a client associated with the media client engine identified as subscribing to a cloud application imaging service. The media acquisition engine further comprises a media control engine that directs, in accordance with the selection, a physical device to image a physical object and produce a media item based on the image of the physical object, the physical device being coupled to a cloud client. The media acquisition engine also comprises a media reception engine that receives the media item from the physical device, and a translation engine that encodes the media item into a data structure compatible with the cloud application imaging service.

20130226994 | COMBINING SERVER-SIDE AND CLIENT-SIDE USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS - A method and apparatus are disclosed for combining server-supplied user interface elements with client-supplied user interface elements. The server-supplied user interface elements can be received by a client device and inserted into a client-supplied object model, such as a Document Object Model (DOM). The object model can then be used to render a page, such as a webpage. By injecting server-supplied user interface elements into a client object model, the client can intelligently combine UI elements from a server with UI elements from a client. In the situation where there are conflicting or overlapping UI elements, the client device can modify the object model to eliminate such conflicts or overlaps. | 2013-08-29 |
