Systems and methods for hosted application marketplaces
First Claim
1. A hosted application marketplace server system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory readable by the processor and storing instructions;
wherein the instructions, when read by the processor, direct the processor to;
obtain request data describing a request for hosted application data, wherein the request data comprises user profile data and computing device capability data;
identify a computing device based on the request data;
determine compatible application data based on the request data, wherein the compatible application data identifies a set of applications that are compatible with the computing device based on the computing device capability data;
generate hosted application data based on the compatible application data, wherein;
the hosted application data comprises a file containing a first set of instructions in a scripting language;
parsing of the first set of instructions in the scripting language by a virtual machine causes downloading of at least one remotely hosted file containing a second set of instructions in a rendering language, wherein;
the second set of instructions in the rendering language within the at least one downloaded remotely hosted file is modified in accordance with a predetermined page modification rule to create at least one modified file;
at least the instructions in the at least one modified file is used to build a document object model (DOM);
the DOM is modified in accordance with a predetermined DOM modification rule to create a modified DOM; and
the rendering engine process is configured to render a user interface page based upon the modified DOM generated by the execution of a background page; and
interpretation of the second set of instructions in the rendering language contained within the at least one remotely hosted file by a rendering engine process causes the rendering engine process to render pages forming a user interface; and
transmit the hosted application data in response to the obtained request data.

Abstract
Systems and methods for hosted application marketplaces in accordance with embodiments of the invention are described. In one embodiment, a hosted application marketplace server system includes a processor and a memory storing hosted application marketplace application, wherein the hosted application marketplace application directs the processor to obtain request data describing a request for hosted application data, wherein the request data includes user profile data and computing device capability data, identify a computing device based on the user profile data, determine compatible application data based on the request data, wherein the compatible application data identifies a set of applications that are compatible with the computing device based on the computing device capability data, generate hosted application data based on the compatible application data; and transmit the hosted application data in response to the obtained request data.

9. A method for providing applications from a hosted application marketplace to a computing device, the method comprising:
-
obtaining request data describing a request for hosted application data, wherein the request data comprises user profile data and computing device capability data comprising capability data selected from the group consisting of hardware capability data and software capability data; identifying a computing device based on the request data; determining compatible application data based on the request data, wherein the compatible application data identifies a set of applications that are compatible with the computing device based on the computing device capability data; generating hosted application data based on the compatible application data, wherein; the hosted application data comprises a file containing a first set of instructions in a scripting language; parsing of the first set of instructions in the scripting language by a virtual machine causes downloading of at least one remotely hosted file containing a second set of instructions in a rendering language, wherein; the second set of instructions in the rendering language within the at least one downloaded remotely hosted file is modified in accordance with a predetermined page modification rule to create at least one modified file; at least the instructions in the at least one modified file is used to build a document object model (DOM); the DOM is modified in accordance with a predetermined DOM modification rule to create a modified DOM; and the rendering engine process is configured to render a user interface page based upon the modified DOM generated by the execution of a background page; and interpretation of the second set of instructions in the rendering language contained within the at least one remotely hosted file by a rendering engine process causes the rendering engine process to render pages forming a user interface; and transmitting the hosted application data in response to the obtained request data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
