Enhanced information and presence service
First Claim
1. A network-based system for routing data between software applications with access to the network comprising:
- at least one router connected to the network for establishing and maintaining routes between the router and the applications according to request;
a first version of software residing in and executable from the at least one router for controlling route creation and deletion and converting incoming data of differing markup languages into a common format;
at least one client device connected to the network, the at least one device adapted for communication with the at least one router; and
a second version of software residing in and executable from the at least one client device for determining how data sent to its host device is rendered for use by the device;
characterized in that data requested by the at least one client device is sent to the requesting device from the at least one router in the common format wherein the receiving device reads the data, builds an object model from logic instructions embedded in the data received and executes the object model to implement the logic at the device for rendering the data.

Abstract
A network-based system for routing data between software applications with access to the network is taught, the system including at least one router connected to the network for routing between applications and the router, software in the router for creating and deleting routes and for converting incoming data of differing markup languages into a common format, at least one client device connected to the network, the device adapted for communication with the router, and software in the client device for determining how data sent to its host device is rendered for use by the device. The client device receives data from the router in the form of the common format wherein the receiving device reads the data, builds an object model from logic instructions embedded in the data and executes the object model to implement the logic at the device for data rendering.

12. A server application distributed to a client device for enabling the client device to interact with an information and presence service hosted on a data-packet-network the application comprising:
-
a data-interpretation module for interpreting data sent to the device from the service and for creating an object model from any logic instructions embedded in the data;
a run-time engine for executing the created object model; and
a data-rendering module for applying the logic resulting from execution of the object model to the function and display devices supported on the client device;
characterized in that a user controlling the device may control how data is rendered in conjunction with the display and function attributes of the device through creation of unique query applications used by the device in requesting the data.

24. A method for client-side control of how data is rendered on a client device interacting with a Web based information and presence service comprising steps of:
-
(a) providing a server application capable of object modeling and object execution to reside and execute on the client device;
(b) providing an HTML template and JavaScript library to the client for use in developing query applications that contain data rendering logic;
(c) developing a query application containing a message requesting data and logic instructions for data rendering;
(d) sending the query application to the information and presence service;
(e) receiving a response from the service, the response containing message data and the data rendering logic;
(f) interpreting the data response and building a JavaScript object representing the logic instructions; and
(e) executing the JavaScript object and applying the results to render the message data according to display and function of the device according to the logic instructions.
