Abstract

A method of controlling user experience with an application on a client device including at least two resident client entities is provided. The method includes modifying behavior of the application on the client device through negotiation between the at least two resident entities according to pre-defined rules; and rendering the application on the client device based on the pre-defined rules using at least one of the resident client entities.

Claims

1. A method of controlling user experience with an application on a client device including at least two resident client entities, the method comprising:

modifying behavior of the application on the client device through negotiation between the at least two resident entities according to pre-defined rules; and

rendering the application on the client device based on the pre-defined rules using at least one of the resident client entities.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the resident client entities is a client execution entity.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the client execution entity is a browser engine.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein at least one of the resident client entities is a resident client application capable of interacting with the client execution entity to modify the behavior of the application.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein behavior of the application is modified by modifying at least one element from the group comprising of data elements, media elements, semantics, mark-ups, styles, scripts, HTML, XHTML, XML, SVG, CSS and JS.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein negotiation comprises negotiating to obtain permission to modify one or more elements from the group comprising of data elements, media elements, semantics, mark-ups, styles, scripts, HyperText Markup Langue (HTML), eXtensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML), eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript (JS).

7. The method of claim 2, wherein negotiation comprises negotiating to delegate at least one task performed by the client execution entity to the resident client entity.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the at least one task is rendering the application.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein negotiation is performed using XML schema.

10. The method of claim 2, further comprising

obtaining application type information from the client execution entity by the resident client entity before initiating the negotiation.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the pre-defined rules are user defined preferences.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the pre-defined rules are pre-coded rules.

13. A method of controlling user experience with an application downloaded from a server to a client device, the client device comprising at least one client execution entity and at least one resident client entity, the method comprising:

modifying behavior of the application on the client device through negotiation between the at least one resident client entity and the server according to pre-defined rules;

providing permission, by the server, to modify behavior of the client application on the client device by the resident client entity according to the pre-defined rules; and

rendering the application, by the client execution entity, based on the pre-defined rules.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the client execution entity is a browser engine.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein behavior of the application is modified by modifying at least one element from at least one of data elements, media elements, semantics, mark-ups, styles, scripts, HyperText Markup Langue (HTML), eXtensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML), eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript (JS).

16. The method of claim 13, wherein negotiation comprises negotiating to obtain permission to modify at least one or more of data elements, media elements, semantics, mark-ups, styles, scripts, HyperText Markup Langue (HTML), eXtensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML), eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript (JS).

17. The method of claim 16, wherein negotiation comprises negotiating to delegate at least one task performed by the client execution entity to the resident client entity.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein the at least one task is rendering the application.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein negotiation is performed using XML schema.

20. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

obtaining application type information from the client execution entity by the resident client entity before initiating the step of negotiation.

21. The method of claim 13, wherein the pre-defined rules are user defined preferences.

22. The method of claim 13, wherein the pre-defined rules are pre-coded rules.
