Method and computer-readable medium for delivering hybrid static and dynamic content
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of delivering hybrid content to a user of a computer system, comprising:
- (a) instantiating a first functional module on the computer system;
(b) commanding instantiation of a second functional module remote from the first functional module;
(c) receiving dynamic content from the second functional module;
(d) accessing a repository of static content;
(e) delivering hybrid content on the basis of the static content in the repository and the dynamic content received from the second functional module, delivering being achieved via a user interface defining at least one visual element defined by a set of parameters; and
(f) executing instructions of a computer-readable storage medium on the computer system, the first functional module and the repository being located on the computer-readable storage medium;
whereby operation of the computer system is governed by an operating system and whereby the first functional module interacts with the operating system to restrict manipulation of the parameters of the visual element by a user of the computer system.

19. A computer system configured and adapted to implement a method of delivering hybrid content to a user of a computer system, the method comprising:
-
(a) instantiating a first functional module on the computer system; (b) commanding instantiation of a second functional module remote from the first functional module; (c) receiving dynamic content from the second functional module; (d) accessing a repository of static content; (e) delivering hybrid content on the basis of the static content in the repository and the dynamic content received from the second functional module, delivering being achieved via a user interface defining at least one visual element defined by a set of parameters; and (f) executing instructions of a computer-readable storage medium on the computer system, the first functional module and the repository being located on the computer-readable storage medium; wherein operation of the computer system is governed by an operating system and wherein the first functional module interacts with the operating system to restrict manipulation of the parameters of the visual element by a user of the computer system. - View Dependent Claims (20)

21. A computer-readable storage medium comprising a repository of static content and a program element for execution by a computing device, whose operation is governed by an operating system, to deliver hybrid content via a user interface, the program element comprising:
-
(a) program code means for commanding instantiation of a functional module remote from the computing device; (b) program code means for receiving dynamic content from the remote functional module; (c) program code means for accessing the repository; (d) program code means for delivering hybrid content on the basis of the static content in the repository and the dynamic content received from the remote functional module, delivering being achieved via the user interface defining at least one visual element defined by a set of parameters; and (e) program code means for interacting with the operating system to restrict manipulation of the parameters of the visual element by a user of the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
