Abstract

A method and system for defining an offlinable view/controller graph. In one embodiment of the method a first view definition is received from a server via data communication link, wherein the first view definition comprises a first identifier. The first view definition is stored in memory at a location identified by a first universal resource locator (URL). The first URL is mapped to the first identifier in a table.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method comprising:
receiving a first view definition from a server via data communication link, wherein the first view definition comprises a first identifier;
storing the first view definition in memory at a location identified by a first address;
mapping the first address to the first identifier in a table;
displaying a first view that corresponds to the first view definition;
storing a second identifier of the first view definition in the table;
receiving a second view definition from the server via the communication link, wherein the second view definition comprises the second identifier;
storing the second view definition in the memory at a location identified by a second address;
mapping the second address to the second identifier in the table;
selecting first view components based on a first page definition;
merging the first view components with the first page definition to create a first result;
generating the first and second identifiers based on metadata of the first page definition;
adding the first and second identifiers to the first result to directly or indirectly generate the first view definition;
selecting second view components based on a second page definition;
merging the second view components with the second page definition to create a second result;
generating the second identifier based on metadata of the first page definition;
adding the first and second identifiers to the second result to directly or indirectly generate the second view definition.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising a mobile device displaying a second view that corresponds to the second view definition.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the second view is received by a mobile device in response to user activation of the actionable view component.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first identifier is a view Uniform Resource Identifier, and wherein the second identifier is a target view Uniform Resource Identifier.

5. The method of claim 4 further comprising:
identifying one or more target view Uniform Resource Identifiers of the view Uniform Resource Identifier to be mapped to addresses in the table.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the adding of the first and second identifiers to the first result to directly or indirectly generate the first view definition comprises updating the first view definition to indicate the identified target view Uniform Resource Identifiers.

7. A memory storing instructions, wherein a mobile device implements a method in response to executing the instructions, the method comprising:
receiving a first view definition from a server via data communication link, wherein the first view definition comprises a first identifier;
storing the first view definition in memory at a location identified by a first address;
mapping the first address to the first identifier in a table;
displaying a first view that corresponds to the first view definition;
storing a second identifier of the first view definition in the table;
receiving a second view definition from the server via the communication link, wherein the second view definition comprises the second identifier;
storing the second view definition in the memory at a location identified by a second address;
mapping the second address to the second identifier in the table;
selecting first view components based on a first page definition;
merging the first view components with the first page definition to create a first result;
generating the first and second identifiers based on metadata of the first page definition;
adding the first and second identifiers to the first result to directly or indirectly generate the first view definition;
selecting second view components based on a second page definition;
merging the second view components with the second page definition to create a second result;
generating the second identifier based on metadata of the first page definition;
adding the first and second identifiers to the second result to directly or indirectly generate the second view definition.

8. The memory of claim 7 wherein the first identifier is a view Uniform Resource Identifier, and wherein the second identifier is a target view Uniform Resource Identifier.

9. The memory of claim 8 wherein the method further comprises:
identifying one or more target view Uniform Resource Identifiers of the view Uniform Resource Identifier to be mapped to addresses in the table.

10. The memory of claim 7 wherein the method further comprises the mobile device displaying a second view that corresponds to the second view definition.

11. The memory of claim 7 wherein the second view is received by the mobile device in response to user activation of the actionable view component.

12. The memory of claim 9 wherein the adding of the first and second identifiers to the first result to directly or indirectly generate the first view definition comprises updating the first view definition to indicate the identified target view Uniform Resource Identifiers.

13. A computer readable memory storing instructions, wherein a computer system implements a method in response to executing the instructions, the method comprising:
selecting a first page definition based on a request received from a mobile device;
transmitting a first view definition to the mobile device, wherein the mobile device implements a method, the method comprising:
receiving a first view definition from a server via data communication link, wherein the first view definition comprises a first identifier;
storing the first view definition in memory at a location identified by a first address;
mapping the first address to the first identifier in a table;
displaying a first view that corresponds to the first view definition;
storing a second identifier of the first view definition in the table;
receiving a second view definition from the server via the communication link, wherein the second view definition comprises the second identifier;
storing the second view definition in the memory at a location identified by a second address;
mapping the second address to the second identifier in the table;
selecting first view components based on a first page definition;
merging the first view components with the first page definition to create a first result;
generating the first and second identifiers based on metadata of the first page definition;
adding the first and second identifiers to the first result to directly or indirectly generate the first view definition;
selecting second view components based on a second page definition;
merging the second view components with the second page definition to create a second result;
generating the second identifier based on metadata of the first page definition;
adding the first and second identifiers to the second result to directly or indirectly generate the second view definition.

14. The computer readable memory of claim 13 , wherein the first identifier is a view Uniform Resource Identifier, and wherein the second identifier is a target view Uniform Resource Identifier.

15. A method comprising:
transmitting instructions to a mobile for storage in memory thereof, wherein the mobile device is configured to implement a mobile device method in response to executing the instructions, the mobile device method comprising:
receiving a first view definition from a server via data communication link, wherein the first view definition comprises a first identifier;
storing the first view definition in memory at a location identified by a first address;
mapping the first addre
