First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of serving data from a management module of a managed server, comprising:
- serving a web page to a requesting computer from the managed server, the web page comprising a source call to an object file and code including scripting functions defined by the object file, wherein the requesting computer is remote from the managed server, and wherein at least one of the scripting functions is for merging data associated with the object file with the web page;
receiving a request from the requesting computer at the managed server for the object file, wherein the request is received after the web page has been served to the requesting computer and after the requesting computer has evaluated the at least one scripting function;
populating the object file in real-time with data from the management module of the managed server after both serving the web page and receiving the request for the object file; and
serving the object file to the requesting computer after populating the object file.

Abstract
The present technique serves Web pages that are mixed with dynamic data from an embedded system using object files to access the dynamic data. The technique constructs the object files in the embedded system in real-time separate from the Web pages. The technique then merges the dynamic data with the Web pages and displays the data-populated Web pages via a Web browser. The data/page merging process may be performed at either the server side or the client side.

9. A method of displaying a web page, comprising:
-
requesting at least a frame of a web page from a managed server, wherein the frame comprises a first embedded object and a call to a scripting language function defined by the first embedded object, wherein the scripting language function is for merging data corresponding to the first embedded object with the web page; receiving the frame from the managed server; based on evaluating the scripting language function, requesting, by a requesting computer, the data corresponding to the first embedded object from the managed server after receiving the frame from the managed server; receiving, by the requesting computer, the data corresponding to the first embedded object; calling, by the requesting computer, the scripting language function defined by the first embedded object; and merging, by the requesting computer, the data corresponding to the first embedded object into the frame. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A server, comprising:
-
a management module configured to generate dynamic data; and a file system configured to store a web page that has both a first embedded object configured to access the dynamic data and a second embedded object configured to merge the dynamic data with the web page, wherein the first embedded object is executable on a client remote from the server to request the dynamic data from the server, and wherein the web page includes a scripting language function defined by the second embedded object, the scripting language function for merging the dynamic data with the web page; wherein the server is configured to further; send, to the client, the web page that has the first embedded object, the second embedded object, and the scripting language function defined by the second embedded object; after sending the web page, receive a request from the client that is based on evaluating the scripting language function of the web page at the client; in response to the request, retrieve the dynamic data and send the retrieved dynamic data to the client for merging with the web page. - View Dependent Claims (19)
