Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for providing an HTML-based application capable of controlling web actions and clients. The system includes an HTML skin-generating module to generate an HTML skin that includes instructions corresponding to business logic, and a script to control a skin according to the business logic. The system also includes an application drive file-generating module to generate an application drive file to interoperate with the HTML skin to execute the business logic.

Claims

1. A system for providing a HyperText Markup Language (HTML)-based application capable of controlling web actions and clients, the system comprising:

an HTML skin-generating module to generate an HTML skin, the HTML skin comprising instructions corresponding to a web action and business logic, and comprising a script to control the HTML skin according to the business logic; and

an application drive file-generating module to generate an application drive file, the application drive file being configured to hook event information generated by the HTML-based application and to execute corresponding business logic.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the event information is hooked by an operating system component.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the script comprises JAVASCRIPT®

capable of being called by the application drive file using the operating system component.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the business logic comprises a navigate argument.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the navigate argument is set as an instruction to execute control of the client.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the application drive file comprises an HTML uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the HTML skin.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising an application drive file-providing module to provide the generated application drive file to the clients.

8. The system of claim 7, further comprising:

an HTML skin storage to store the HTML skin;

an HTML uniform resource locator (URL)-receiving module to receive an HTML URL corresponding to the HTML skin from a client;

an HTML skin request module to search for the HTML skin in the HTML skin storage; and

an HTML skin-providing module to provide the HTML skin to the client.

9. A method of providing a HyperText Markup Language (HTML)-based application capable of controlling web actions and clients, the method comprising:

generating an application drive file configured to hook event information generated by the HTML-based application, and to execute corresponding business logic;

generating and storing an HTML skin configured to interoperate with the application drive file; and

providing the HTML skin to a client,

wherein the HTML skin comprises instructions corresponding to the business logic.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the application drive file is configured to hook event information by using an operating system component.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the HTML skin comprises JAVASCRIPT®

capable of being called by the application drive file using the operating system component.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the business logic comprises a navigate argument.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the navigate argument is set as an instruction to execute control of the client.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the application drive file comprises an HTML uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the HTML skin.

15. The method of claim 9, further comprising providing the generated application drive file to the clients.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

receiving an HTML uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the HTML skin from a client; and

searching for the HTML skin in an HTML skin storage.

17. A method of interoperating a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) region with an application region in an HTML-based application capable of controlling web actions and clients, the method comprising:

hooking event information generated in the HTML region;

determining whether the event information is an instruction corresponding to a web action or to business logic;

executing, in the application region, the business logic corresponding to the instruction, in response to a determination that the hooked event information is an instruction corresponding to business logic; and

displaying, in the HTML region, a result of executing the business logic, in response to business logic being executed in the application region.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the event information is hooked by an operating system component.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein displaying a result of executing the business logic comprises:

activating an operating system component in response to the specific business logic being executed in the application region;

calling a JAVASCRIPT®

function corresponding to the specific business logic using the operating system component; and

controlling the HTML region according to the JAVASCRIPT®

function.
