Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for imaging device display standardization.

Claims

1. A method for generating display information for display on an imaging device (IDev) display, said method comprising:

a) sending an application selection from an IDev to an application;

b) receiving application-specific template field data (ASTFD) and a form ID at said IDev from said application; and

c) integrating said ASTFD with a stored form identified by said form ID to generate integrated display information, said integrating occurring on said IDev.

2. A method as described in claim 1 further comprising, displaying said integrated display information at said IDev.

3. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said sending is, at least partially, accomplished with an HTTP request.

4. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said application resides on said IDev.

5. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said application resides on a remote computing device (RCD).

6. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said stored form resides on said IDev.

7. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said stored form resides on a remote computing device (RCD).

8. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said application-specific template field data (ASTFD) is formatted in a markup language.

9. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said form ID is an XHTML form reference.

10. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said form ID is received separately from said ASTFD.

11. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said integrated display information is formatted in a markup language.

12. A method for generating display information for display on an imaging device (IDev) display, said method comprising:

a) sending a request, comprising an application selection, from an IDev to an application;

b) receiving, in response to said request, application-related field data and a form ID at said IDev from said application, wherein said form ID identifies a form comprising fields that may be populated with field data;

c) retrieving a form identified by said form ID; and

d) populating fields in said form identified by said form ID with said application-related field data to generate integrated display information, said populating occurring on said IDev.

13. A method as described in claim 12 further comprising, displaying said integrated display information at said IDev.

14. A method as described in claim 12 wherein said sending is, at least partially, accomplished with an HTTP request.

15. A method as described in claim 12 wherein said application resides on said IDev.

16. A method as described in claim 12 wherein said application resides on a remote computing device (RCD).

17. A method as described in claim 12 wherein said stored form resides on a remote computing device (RCD).

18. A method as described in claim 12 wherein said form ID is an XHTML form reference.

19. A method as described in claim 12 wherein said integrated display information is formatted in a markup language.

20. A method for generating display information for display on an imaging device (IDev) display, said method comprising:

a) sending a first application selection from an IDev to a template server application (TSA), said first application selection having the purpose of accessing a first application;

b) receiving a first application-specific template field data (ASTFD) and a first form ID at said IDev from said TSA;

c) integrating said first ASTFD with a first stored form identified by said first form ID to form a first integrated display information;

d) sending a second application selection from said IDev to said TSA, said second application selection having the purpose of accessing a second application;

e) receiving a second ASTFD and a second form ID at said IDev from said TSA; and

f) integrating said second ASTFD with a second stored form identified by said second form ID to form a second integrated display information.
