Abstract
A system and method for providing a web-based operating system is disclosed. A web-based operating system is downloaded from a server to a network-enabled device. The web-based operating system provides a platform from which to run web-based computer applications. Web-based computer applications are downloaded from the server onto the network-enabled device, and executed in conjunction with the web-based operating system. Those portions of the web-based operating system software and web-based computer application software are downloaded to the network-enabled device as needed. A component-based environment for the development and deployment of a web-based operating system and web-based computer applications is also provided. Components are deployed within library files as part of a component-based development model. The web-based operating system downloads those library files needed to execute the web-based computer applications.

20. A computer program product for enabling a processor in a computer system to implement a system for executing a web-based application within a browser, said computer program product comprising:
-
a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied in said computer usable medium for causing a program to execute on the computer system, said computer readable program code means comprising; means for enabling the computer system to load a top-level page, said top-level page referencing a first library file; means for enabling the computer system to load said first library file; means for enabling the computer system to load a second library file, wherein said second library file references said first library file; and means for enabling the computer system to execute said first library file referenced by said second library file. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

33. A computer program product for enabling a processor in a computer system to implement a system for implementing a web-based application program interface, said computer program product comprising:
-
a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied in said computer usable medium for causing a program to execute on the computer system, said computer readable program code means comprising; means for enabling the computer system to load a top-level page into a web-browser, said top-level page adapted to be processed by the web-browser; means for enabling the computer system to receive a request to load a first library file; means for enabling the computer system to determine if said first library file has been loaded; means for enabling the computer system to load said first library file into a new context in said top-level page if said first library file has not been loaded; means for enabling the computer system to determine if said first library file references a second library file; means for enabling the computer system to determine if said second library file has been loaded; and means for enabling the computer system to load said second library file into a new context in said top-level page if said second library file has not been loaded. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
