Abstract

Capability to exhibit and change appearance, functionality and behavior, in combination with network communication and an interface event listener, is compiled into binary code (Step 1) loaded (Step 2) and run (Step 3) on a device. The binary code running on the device requests and receives instructions at any time, previously assembled and stored on a server (Step 4) to trigger the capability code to exhibit any appearance, functionality and behavior on the device (Step 5). New retrieved instructions trigger different capability code exhibiting different appearance, functionality and behavior without recompiling and downloading code to the mobile networked device (Step 6). This method is applied to display and change animation, video and 3D player on a device, where capability includes ability to present image frames contained in a larger image and instructions include frame size, frequency, start frame and restart frame, with image frame display possibly directed by user interaction.

(Step 2) after Step 1, load said compiled binary code on said device;

(Step 3) after Step 2, run said compiled binary code loaded on said device;

(Step 4) after Step 3, request and receive instructions, which are characterized as other than compiled code, HTML or scripting language, over a network at any time by said compiled binary code loaded and running on said device of step 3; and

(Step 5) after Step 4, said instructions of Step 4 trigger execution of selected said capability in said compiled binary code loaded and running of Step 3, wherein;

a) at least one of said instructions is required to trigger at least one said capability in said compiled binary code loaded and running on said device, and

b) said instructions may be ordered to constitute a collection of said instructions, wherein the combination, and instantiation of said instructions is ordered to trigger said capability in said compiled binary code loaded and running on said device to exhibit said appearance, functionality and behavior; and

whereby

(Step 6), after Step 5, different appearance, functionality and behavior is exhibited on said device by new instructions said requested and received, by said compiled binary code loaded and running on said device using Step 4 said triggering different capability in said compiled binary code loaded and running on said device as in Step 5, without having to recompile the code, download new code, or reprogram said device, and without the user having to download a new compiled application.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising said appearance, functionality and behavior capability includes at least one of color, physical configuration, logic, interface, user interface, and artificial intelligence.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising, programming a server to store said instructions and said server responds to requests from said compiled computer code on said device to send said stored instructions to said device.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising programming a browser or compiled program to enable assembly of said instructions and to send said assembly of said instructions to said server for storage.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising said server sending to said device new said instructions based upon geographical locations determined by GPS on said device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said received instructions are in the form of integers, characters or bitmasks in a text file.

7. A method to exhibit and change appearance, functionality and behavior, on a device to present video and audio, said device including at least a computer processor, screen and ability to connect to a network comprising:

(Step 1) compile into binary code appearance, functionality and behavior capability to display video and audio, wherein said capability includes ability to display image frames extracted from a video file and packed into a larger image with a set image frame width and height at a frequency which displays on said device screen like the original said video;

to replay the sequenced frames starting at a specified frame;

to move the video frame along a X and Y axis of the parent frame while said presenting image frames; and

to respond to user interaction to reposition the next image frame to display; and

to play audio;
