Abstract

Data structures, methods, program products and systems for creating and executing an executable file for the Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) where the file is capable of causing presentation of a document embedded in the file on a BREW system.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

identifying a document or document portion, the document or document portion being one of a Flash document, a Shockwave document, or a Portable Document Format (PDF) document;

identifying an executable module comprising a document loader, the executable module enabling porting of the document loader to different types of wireless devices, the executable module capable of causing presentation of the document or document portion of the application by signaling an external module; and

incorporating the document or document portion and the executable module into an escort application, the escort application executable on a wireless device effective to enable consumption of the document or document portion on the wireless device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the document is compressed, encrypted or both.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the external module is compiled separately from the executable module comprising the document loader.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the environment is Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW).

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the external module is a BREW extension.

6. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving an escort application for an environment that allows porting of the escort application to different types of wireless devices, the escort application containing a Flash document, a Shockwave document, or a Portable Document Format (PDF) document;

receiving an external module;

executing the escort application, where the executing causes presentation of the document by signaling the external module; and

causing an account to be debited or credited based on the first receiving, the second receiving, the executing or the signaling.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the escort application is for Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW).

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the external module is a BREW extension.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the external module is compiled separately from the application.

17. The method of claim 6, wherein the escort application is received from a wireless service provider'"'"'s Application download Server (ADS) via an application catalog.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the application catalog is a BREW Distribution System (BDS) catalog.

10. A computer program product, encoded on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:

identifying an executable module of an escort application for an environment that allows porting of the escort application to different types of wireless devices, the executable module capable of causing presentation of a document by signaling an external module, the document being a Flash document, a Shockwave document, or a Portable Document Format (PDF) document;

identifying the document; and

incorporating the document into the executable module.

11. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the environment is Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW).

12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein the external module is a BREW extension.

13. A computer program product, encoded on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:

first receiving an escort application for an environment that allows porting of the escort application to different types of wireless devices, the escort application containing a document, the document being a Flash document, a Shockwave document, or a Portable Document Format (PDF) document;

second receiving an external module;

executing the escort application, where the executing causes presentation of the document by signaling an external module; and

causing an account to be debited or credited based on the first receiving, the second receiving, the executing or the signaling.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the escort application is for Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW).

15. The program product of claim 14, wherein the external module is a BREW extension.

16. The program product of claim 13, wherein the external module is compiled separately from the escort application.
