System and method for facilitating a windows based content manifestation environment within a WWW browser
DCFirst Claim
1. A network client configured to operate within a data processing system and to receive content from a remote server system to facilitate a windowed content manifestation environment, comprising:
- a content retrieval module configured to receive content from a network server system via an electronic data network; and
a processing engine coupled to said content retrieval module configured to operate a content manifestation environment within the data processing system, to process said content to produce at least one window object within said content manifestation environment, said at least one window object configured to manifest at least a portion of said content therein, said at least one window object corresponding to at least one executable program object and being controlled by said processing engine without requiring said content manifestation environment to be refreshed, said at least one window object is associated with a controllable attribute, said controllable attribute configured to permit at least one window object to be controlled as a result of performing at least one of a moving operation, a resizing operation, a minimizing operation, or a maximizing operation within said content manifestation environment.

Abstract
A network client configured to operate within a data processing system and to receive content from a remote server system to facilitate a windowed content manifestation environment. The network client includes and involves a content retrieval module configured to receive content from a network server system via an electronic data network, and a processing engine coupled to the content retrieval module configured to operate a content manifestation environment within the data processing system, and to process the content to produce at least one window object within the content manifestation environment. The window object is configured to manifest at least a portion of the content therein. The window object corresponds to at least one executable program object and is controlled by the processing engine without requiring the content manifestation environment to be refreshed. The window object is associated with a controllable attribute which is configured to permit the window object to be controlled as a result of performing at least one of a moving operation, a resizing operation, a minimizing operation, or a maximizing operation within said content manifestation environment.

6. A network client configured to operate within a data processing system and to receive content from a remote server system to facilitate a windowed content manifestation environment therein, comprising:
-
a content retrieval module configured to receive content from a network server system via an electronic data network; and
a processing engine coupled to said content retrieval module configured to instantiate a content manifestation environment within the data processing system, to process said content to produce at least one window object within said content manifestation environment, said at least one window object associated with a set of controllable attributes and configured to manifest at least a portion of said associated content therein, said controllable attributes configured to affect manifestation of said at least one window object by said the network client within said content manifestation environment, said at least one window object corresponding to at least one executable program object and being controlled by said processing engine without requiring said content manifestation environment to be refreshed, said at least one window object is associated with a controllable attribute, said controllable attribute configured to permit at least one window object to be controlled as a result of performing at least one of a moving operation, a resizing operation, a minimizing operation, or a maximizing operation within said content manifestation environment. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for facilitating a windowed content manifestation environment within a web browser, comprising:
-
a server system configured to transmit a software system and associated content via an electronic data network; and
a web browser client operating within a data processing system that is coupled to said server system via the electronic data network and having a content manifestation environment, said web browser client operative to receive said software system and said associated content from said server system via the electronic data network, to process said software system and said associated content to produce a window object solely contained within said content manifestation environment, said window object is associated with a controllable attribute and is configured to manifest at least a portion of said associated content therein, said controllable attribute configured to affect manifestation of said window object by said web browser client within said content manifestation environment, wherein said window object executes within and is controlled by said web browser client which operates within said data processing system, and said controllable attribute associated with said window object permitting said window object to be controlled as a result of performing at least one of a moving operation, a resizing operation, a minimizing operation and a maximizing operation within said content manifestation environment and without requiring said web browser client to refresh said content manifestation environment.
