Background technology

Recent years, WWW (web) browser has become the powerful software package of ability.Except web presence is provided, Web-browser can move sometimes the applet that is called as " little (widget) ".Many Web-browsers also are supported in the ability of the more complicated web applications of operation on the Web-browser.Can utilize various web technologies, realize this web applications such as HTML, XHTML, XML and asynchronous JavaScirpt and XML (Ajax).

Although it is web applications has many advantages, still stranded in a lot of fields.For example, because web applications depends on Web-browser, so Web-browser must start before the web applications operation.The same with the situation of many mobile devices, this delay may make the final user dissatisfied, if especially the device of operation web applications has limited processing power.In addition, if Web-browser is not moving, then web applications does not move yet.Therefore, web applications can not upgrade its data.In addition, if the user wishes to move simultaneously several web applications, then this user must directly start each application program.And, there is not simple and easy method can make a plurality of web applications share one group of user's input control.

On such as cellular mobile device, some widget may operate on the Web-browser.These widget have some benefit of web applications, are easier to utilize the web technology coding such as developer's ratio, but but lock into other field.At first, the user can not be in order to download web presence in widget clickable hyperlinks.Secondly, wish that when a widget switched to another widget, the basic browsers of a user widget out of service then, started new browser instances (new browser instance), to move the 2nd widget as the user.Because operation when these two widget are different, so the cost plenty of time of the hand-off process from a widget to another widget, this is that the final user is undesirable.In addition, there is not the mechanism of managing a plurality of widget by general user interface yet.

Advertisement has become common way based on WWW, therefore, according to various criterions, advertisement is inserted in the web presence.Yet if Web-browser is not connected to the Internet, this advertisement just can not be inserted in the web presence.For such as cellular mobile device, when receiving weak signal or when having gone out service area, common this device and network disconnect.In addition, when this device off line, even the final user has watched and/or clicked this advertisement, provider is deposited in advertisement can not obtain advertising income.In this case, the advertiser need not the benefit for using communication medium just can obtain to advertise to provider's defrayment.And current widget is not easy to support the advertisement based on WWW.

And/or other suitable programming language, script or based on the language of VM.In addition, Web-browser 105 can be supported " this locality " surfing, not requiring with network to have under the connective situation, can visit the resource of " local host ".Even should be understood that when only needing the local host resource, some current Web-browsers are also attempted to be connected on the network, may disturb the operation of some embodiment like this.

In various embodiments, Web-browser 105 can provide the basis of user interface, and can comprise such as be used for such as

The language interpreter of the script interpretive routine of the computer programming language of VBScript and/or other Script Programming language is wherein by script, bytecode collection or the language of runtime interpretive routine real-time interpretation based on browser.The various web technologies of utilization such as HTML, XHTML, XML, asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) or the like, Web-browser 105 can be provided in the platform of operation web applications on the Web-browser 105.

Usually, application management framework 100 can be by writing such as one or more programming languages, script or based on the computer programming language of virtual machine (VM) language that Web-browser 105 is supported.For example, the various standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript and ECMAScript can be applied to create application management framework 100.Because many web page authors are familiar with these technology, the benefit of utilizing application management framework is conspicuous.We know that this machine of the special use programming language that utilizes web technology to develop common ratio such as C, C++ or the like is developed faster, and much easier.In addition, for mobile device, this machine programming language requires expensive developing instrument usually.Yet for web applications, large quantities of free available or cheap SDK (Software Development Kit) make bigger developer colony carry out the web applications exploitation becomes possibility.

As shown in the figure, application management framework 100 can comprise and encapsulate one or more web applications such as web applications 110-1 to 110-N, and wherein N is based on the arbitrarily suitable positive integer of described embodiment.Web applications 110-1 to 110-N all can be by any language compilation of Web-browser 105 supports.Web applications 110-1's to 110-N and application management framework 100 source code is highly transplantable between the large quantities of hardware and software platforms such as desk-top computer, mobile phone or the like.In addition, central server can be preloaded into one group of web applications 110-1 to 110-N in the application management framework 100, and provides whole application management framework 100 to many calculation elements.In certain embodiments, web applications 110-1 to 110-N can comprise, perhaps can be achieved by one or more applet or widget in application management framework 100.

Application management framework 100 can allow the user to switch fast between web applications 110-1 to 110-N, and needn't restart Web-browser 105 or HTML application environment.In various realizations, for example, a plurality of web applications 110-1 to 110-N can operate in the application management framework 100 simultaneously.In one embodiment, web applications 110-1 to 110-N may operate on the HTML " iframe " in the application management framework 100.When a plurality of web applications in operation and when residing in the internal memory, between web applications, switch the very short time of common needs, therefore improved user's impression.

Application management framework 100 can be caught the user interactions incident, such as click, stylus click, keyboard input, scroll key (jog wheel) input, touch-screen input, phonetic entry, button input or the like.Application management framework 100 can optionally be delivered to one or more capturing events one or more web applications 110-1 to 110-N that is included in the application management framework 100.This helps creating one group of web applications that has one group of common user input control together.In addition, for device, simplified the web applications exploitation like this with limited input control.For example, on mobile phone, it is favourable allowing with a finger control web applications.In various embodiments, application management framework 100 can support the user can utilize single only finger or " mouse-over (mouseover) " to switch fast between web applications 110-1 to 110-N, experiences happy to guarantee the user.

Application management framework 100 can be controlled the each side of the web applications 110-1 to 110-N that one or more comprised.For example, application management framework 100 can to which web applications preset time to the user be visual, web applications whether in effective deal with data and/or when indicate " renewal " web applications or web applications is downloaded on the Web-browser 105 again, control.Application management framework 100 can also be pointed out one or more web applications 110-1 to 110-N that comprises to download again or be upgraded its data.

In various embodiments, application management framework 100 developer that can give security introduces multitask the mechanism of one or more web applications 110-1 to 110-N.For example, " hide " web applications according to plan by utilizing concealed frame (hidden frame), application management framework 100 can make web applications move in background, and the user sees the user interface of different web applications simultaneously.

Application management framework 100 can also provide the developer will insert the mechanism of its web applications based on the advertisement of WWW.For example, web applications 110-1 to 110-N can use existing advertisement link and script compilation method, also be comprise on the device widely of computing machine and mobile phone observable.One or more web applications 110-1 to 110-N can comprise that banner and/or itself can be the advertisements that is subjected to application management framework 100 controls and configuration.We understand, application management framework 100 makes and provides the business affairs method of free or low-cost web applications to become possibility to the final user, in this method, advertising income can be shared between web applications developer, device manufacturer, service provider even final user.

Fig. 2 illustrates the calculation element 200 that is suitable for realizing various embodiment.As shown in the figure, calculation element 200 can comprise Web-browser 205 and WWW virtual machine (WebVM) 210.In various embodiments, application management framework 100 can be mutual with Web-browser 205, as mentioned above.In this realization, the ability of application management framework 100 can make up with the ability of WebVM 210.

Usually, WebVM 210 can realize local Web host, providing server capability on calculation element 200, and Web-browser 205 is used local applications.When being embodied as server on calculation element 200, WebVM 210 can support a plurality of application programs and visit to a plurality of application programs can be provided.WebVM 210 can be on calculation element 200 server-side code of local runtime such as PHP, Python, PERL or CGI programmed environment.In order to visit the local resource of calculation element 200, WebVM 210 can also pass through SOAP, XML PRC, REST or the like realize WWW method DLL (dynamic link library) and web services expansion.Therefore, calculation element 200 can provide the server end interface in order to the local resource of other managed resource of visit such as file system, telephone directory, media repository (media store), database, hardware component (for example, camera, microphone or the like), software part and/or calculation element 200.This interface can also be realized server-side code, in order to allow the user local resource such as telephone directory, media repository or the like is write.

WebVM 210 can carry out the secrecy provision such as secure HTTP (http) and/or other login method, with the acquisition user rs authentication, thereby prevents unauthorized access and uses application program and/or other resource.Can dispose this WebVM 210, between application program on the calculation element 200 and Web-browser 205, playing instrumentality, thus the local service of agency, and guarantee to have only trusted entity can permit visiting specific function.WebVM 210 can realize various secret model and restrict access based on web, assess so that the Web-browser of visiting the local resource of calculation element 200 from request is carried out function call.

When with WebVM 210 combinations, application management framework 100 has several attendant advantages.For example, one or more web applications 110-1 to 110-N in application management framework 100 can be mutual with local web applications or native application on the home server that operates in the WebVM 210, and they are all in calculation element 200 itself.In calculation element 200 was not connected to time on the network, perhaps in the time that data this locality of web applications need be stored on the calculation element 200, this had advantage.In various embodiments, can have the ability that the home base (home screen) of calculation element is made an announcement by the off line agency that realizes by WebVM 210 such as the resident or non-resident web applications of widget.

In addition, the web applications on the application management framework 100 can use the agency service of WebVM 210, from deriving from its different website access data or the services in website with web applications.Usually, " the initial strategy " that be used for web applications avoids this behavior, thus operate in script on the Web-browser can only access or modification be positioned at data on the website that this script derives from it.When with WebVM 210 combinations, application management framework 100 can provide the mechanism according to this restraint of labour.Then, in WebVM 210, realize suitable secrecy policy.

In addition, WebVM 210 is the high-speed cache desired data frequently, so that it can be used by web applications immediately, utilizes network access data and need not to require the user to wait for.This significantly improves user's overall feeling, even so that the speed on the network of being connected to slow or can not be connected on the network, user still sensory data is always available.

Fig. 2 illustrates a kind of of WebVM 210 and may realize, configuration WebVM 210 is to move on such as the calculation element 200 of mobile device (for example, mobile device 100) or desk-top computer.In various embodiments, can be called as the name of submitting on Dec 18th, 2006 " System for Running Web ApplicationsOffline and Providing Access to Native Services " the 11/612nd, No. 282 U.S. Patent application is described, realize web virtual machine (WebVM) 210, the full content of quoting this U.S. Patent application is for reference.

As shown in the figure, WebVM 210 is 215 directly mutual with Web-browser 205 by connecting, and this connection 215 is achieved by the http network connection that operates on the calculation element 200.Usually, this can by be connected to local host IP address (for example, 127.0.0.1) or the Web-browser 205 of the combination of other proper address or address and port activate.Therefore, WebVM 210 can and provide different application programs in different address port combinations simultaneously on different security classifications, and wherein each application program has different permission level and access right for local resource.

WebVM 210 is connected to device service by the application programming interfaces (API) that comprise Device memory API 238, device file API243, equipment thread API 247 and specialized equipment function and API 253.Note that WebVM 210 utilizes API 238,243 and 247 to connect and is convenient to carry out such as the built-in function of internal storage access, file system and tasks/threads and the resource that is used for transplanting WebVM 210 between different classes of the device and operating system.

Interface 253 can be achieved by one or more first interface of representing the expansion character of WebVM 210.Utilize the binding of SOAP, REST or other web services, operate on the WebVM 210 or pass through the WWW program that Web-browser 205 moves, such as passing through Ajax, can be to these calculation element 200 access specific service.For example, calculation element 200 can comprise the telephone directory or the Digital Media storage vault of the on-board camera that can be used as C++ or Java service.Externally server does not rely on and can and keep the client-server programming model according to WWW programming technique access local service, and under the intact situation of the secret model of WWW, utilize the interface capability of WebVM 210 by interface 253, can make web applications local runtime (for example, mobile device or desk-top computer) on calculation element 200.For example, can be based on the phone book application of WWW by the local phone book on the interface 253 access calculation elements 200, then, in this locality with contact information storage on local SQL database 213, to produce mixed function.Afterwards, same web applications can will send to or store into online portal website by the internet by the phone book information that interface 255 retrieves.

According to some embodiment, interface 253 can comprise equipment caller ID API (Device Caller ID API).Utilize SOAP, REST or other web service binding, operate on the WebVM 210 or by Web-browser 205 operation, such as web program by the Ajax operation, can be to calculation element 202 access special services.For example, calculation element 202 can comprise telephone directory, message registration (call log) and to the access of the calling party's id information on the calculation element 202, they can be used as C++ or Java service.

Be in operation, as passing through the described alternately of path 215 by Web-browser 205 and network agent 260, the several sections of WebVM 210 operation http-server storehouses.Network agent 260 can comprise the rule-based network agent engine of realizing software stack, and this software stack makes the network traffics of input or flows to the external world by interface 255, perhaps flows to http-server 265 by path 245.For example, the XHTML special permission and the application program based on browser local script (in Web-browser 205) operation such as JavaScript or VBScript can be asked new resources, such as new page or the data call of XMLHttpRequest type.This request arrives http-server 265 by network agent 260 from Web-browser 205, to handle.If this request is to give web presence to server (for example, the WWW Advertisement Server), perhaps similar addressable asset search web presence, then http-server 265 can take out this resource, then, sends it back to Web-browser 205.Http-server 265 can obtain resource from one of several native object, and this native object comprises by http-server 265 and the local installation file system that is connected to by path 240 that the local application bundle management device (local application bundle manager) 235 of http-server 265 realizes.

If this request to the server side scripts language (for example is, PHP, Python, Java enterprise version (Java Enterprise Edition), servlet or CGI script) data call or the call back function that carry out, then http-server 265 is delivered to processing engine with this request.For the server side scripts language, this request is sent to the server end language by path 270 and supports processing engine 275, and this server end language is supported processing engine 275 to handle this request, the concrete feature of language is provided and is kept session management information or server end variable.If this request by WWW descriptive language interface (web description language interface) (for example is, SOAP, WSDL, the long-range preface of REST, XML are called or similar functions), then this request can be sent to the special-purpose web services manager 223 that is used for finishing as mentioned above this request function by path 285.Can also utilize the server end language to support processing engine 275 to finish by path 290 calling to special-purpose web services manager 223, thereby make or Ajax application program (for example, only having) or can enjoy the SOAP/REST/Web service plug only based on the code and the logic of server based on the code of browser and the application program of logic.

WebVM 210 also can visit the local SQL database 213 that is connected to web services manager 223 by path 217.Local SQL database 213 has the ability to store end user data, such as hobby, address or profile information.In certain embodiments, local SQL database 213 can stores advertisements and calling party's id information.Support server side scripts or (for example on the processing engine 275 by operating in the server end language by the direct web services software transfer of directly sending by web services manager 223, SOAP calls), the application program that operates on the Web-browser 205 can be visited local SQL database 213.Local SQL database 213 can also be connected to data synchronization engine 225 by path 203.Application resource is stored in the database of being realized by application program bundle management device 235 in application program binding mode, and this application program bundle management device 235 is directly connected to http-server 265 by path 240.The database of being realized by application program bundle management device 235 also is connected to data synchronization engine 225 by path 230.

In various realizations, have the http server parts or do not having under the situation of http server parts, utilize message passing interface 250 and web services manager 223 mutual, also can provide the application program binding 225 services.Can make application program finish direct service like this based on non-socket, thereby with effective means visit local hardware or storer.The example of interface 250 can comprise such as transmitting framework or other suitable message transmission framework in the message of Linux DBus.For example, web services manager 223 can be communicated by letter with application management framework 100 by direct message passing interface.In this model, this applied environment not only can be used for this browser, and can be used for the application program of browser class.In other words, the HTML and the helper storehouse that are provided for carrying out JavaScript/ECMAscript such as the browser supply engine (a browser rendering engine) of webkit, but itself is not a browser application.That is, the user does not think that they are in browser environment.

The whole web applications assets of application program bundle management device 235 management.Application program can provide service by the WWW archive file of a collection of necessary application file that comprises web applications.The WWW archive file can comprise the binding or the encapsulation of the WWW assets of web applications, this web applications comprises: index file, html file, script file are (for example, JavaScript or such as the server script of PHP, Python or Perl), figure (for example, JPEG, GIF), animation, dictionary and other web applications parts.The archive storehouse of utilization such as zip, gzip or zlib or other suitable encapsulation scheme can encapsulate, stores and compress this WWW archive file.

When the stored specific file of a part that can be used as the atom binding that comprises this application assets is asked, network agent 260, http-server 265 and application program bundle management device 235 sequential workings, to resolve this document, just as its host on Internet server.These parts are the same manner work to adopt with browser cache also, maintains secrecy and carry out to resolve identical original strategy.In other words, xyz.foo.com/mypage.xhtml can be locally stored, but unlike accessed with program mode (PM) with the browser cache of (non-programmed control) method work automatically.Be resolved to local address clearly (such as the port that operates on the 127.0.0.1, promptly, http loopback address (http loopback address)) uniform resource locator (URL) is resolved to local Web-browser 205 by http interface 210, and is sent to local Web-browser 205.In some cases, Web-browser 205 does not know clearly the actual address that this document is provided.

Utilize synchronization engine 225, the additional function of WebVM 210 is provided, by

path

230 and 203, upgrade the application program of local storage with respectively, such as those application programs in database that is stored in application program bundle management device 235 and the local SQL database 213.The application program of storing in the binding mode is stored on the calculation element 200 with atomic way as single file.Then, synchronization engine 225 can be managed storage, renewal, upgrading and the reservation state of several this application programs.For example, server can be stored the information of the reservation application program that will strengthen about local synchronization engine 225.When this is subscribed when expired, this application program binding will be lost efficacy or be deleted.This function will expand to the application program based on WWW with the application memory type that special-purpose runtime (for example, Java miniature edition (Java MicroEdition)) once was correlated with.

In addition, synchronization engine 225 can be stored, synchronously and the application data of managed storage in local SQL database 213.In typical case's (based on server) application, user data (for example, sharing the photograph of website based on on-line shop (web store) the shopping cart information or the photo of ecommerce) can be stored on this database of this website.Yet, utilize WebVM 210, call by web services, can obtain at once to utilize based on the agreement of WWW ability at local storing applied data.In addition, so synchronization engine 225 can be retracted the standard runtime server that is arranged in internet url with the user data that is stored in the local SQL database 213.Therefore, synchronization engine 225 allows application program and user data all are stored on the calculation element 200 this locality.If calculation element 200 can't find, perhaps the user obtains a device new, that may be upgraded, then this application program of user or application data smoothness seamlessly can be delivered to this new equipment again.

Synchronization engine 225 can also utilize path 220 by network agent 260 visit external the Internet.This can make synchronization engine 225 mobile code assets and be stored in the database of application program bundle management device 235 or user data and the application data in the local SQL database 213, and according to subscribing or providing the business rules of user application to keep them.Because it utilizes binding of database storing application program and user data,, more many or different data to allow the certain user to visit than other user so WebVM 210 can also support different application permissions to different users.

In exemplary embodiments, this announcement application program can comprise the XHTML widget that writes with JavaScript and XHTML.This is acted on behalf of the announcement program and can receive from the request of passing through the Internet retrieve data result from the remote data server of announcing application program.Can be included in path and appended announcement parameter from this request of this announcement application program such as the remote data server of uniform resource locator (URL).

Comprise the request of appended announcement parameter and pass through to the path of remote data server that by high-speed cache this is acted on behalf of the announcement program and can handle from the request of announcing application program.By the return data result, this remote data server can be made response in a usual manner.This acts on behalf of the announcement program can receive data result from remote data server, and by store the high-speed cache announcement parameter of this data result and this announcements application program in this locality, handles this data result.

This announcement parameter can comprise the decoding parametric relevant with this announcement application program, is used to allow the display application program variable of this data result but not this announcement application program is decoded and it is transformed to the decoding variable that is used to show.Decoding parametric can be announced the variable that minimizes this announcement application program of expression and extract by called after.For example, by only announcing one day high temperature, widget can announce the expression that minimizes of weather application, and perhaps by only announcing the quantity of unread message, widget can announce the expression that minimizes of email application.

Decoding parametric can also comprise data extract rule and data formatting rule, how (for example to be used to indicate this display application program from data result, response text) (for example extracts the web request data in, weather), (for example how to format these data, with the web request data combination of this character string and extraction together) and how to show these data (for example, show such as URL or text additional information and this response text).

Subsequently, this is acted on behalf of the announcement program and can receive inquiry from this display application program.In some cases, this display application program can be from the specific named request request msg.For example, this display application program can be asked and the data of announcing that application program is relevant.In other cases, this display application program can be acted on behalf of whole List Nameses that the announcement program requires non-special use (announcement) request msg of current storage to this.If this display application program does not require specific names, then as acquiescence, this acts on behalf of the announcement program can return whole naming rules.

One receive the available name of this display application procedure Selection after, this is acted on behalf of the announcement program and can will comprise local storage data result and announce that the matching result of parameter deliver to this display application program.By utilizing this extracting rule to extract and this variable of decoding, and utilize this format rule to show this extraction value in a suitable manner, this display application program can be handled this matching result.In certain embodiments, by utilizing this data extract rule to extract variable from this data result and variable and the data formatting rule extracted being delivered to this display application program, this acts on behalf of the announcement program can reduce the desired processing of this display application program.

Usually, when this announcement application program was based on the application program of WWW, this display application program can or can not provide based on the outer mobile device home base (homescreen) of the Web-browser of the standard content of WWW by reader application and be achieved.For example, this display application program can comprise that home base (active home screen), news party device (newsaggregator), billboard (billboard) or the mobile device quotation of C/C++ activity include device (mobile device ticker), this mobile device quotation is included device and is only shown a little information, but it requires the conversion of the data result of high-speed cache to use.Utilize the decoding parametric of announcing that application program provides, this display application program can be transformed to cached data operable form.In a single day this display application program obtains the variable of available formats, and this display application program just can be announced these data again with another kind of form.

According to auto transformation mode, this announcement parameter can comprise decoding parametric, is used to allow this display application program the decode variable of this data result and the variable of the decoding that conversion is used to show.This decoding parametric can comprise that name parameter (for example, var_name) and variable name, is used to the variable that this announcement application program name is extracted.This variable name can be used by external application, with the parameter of this web applications reservation of addressing.This variable name may not be the title of off line proxy requests coding, but it is the title (for example, " Temp_Hi ") of external application indication.

Decoding parametric can comprise the data extract parameter of regularity (for example, extraction_rules, var_extract_regex) and be used for from the instruction of this response or data result information extraction.This announcement application program can make this act on behalf of the announcement program will to be used for storing with this information request from the instruction of this response information extraction.External application (for example, the display application program) or act on behalf of the announcement program and can use this extraction instruction extracts (discovery) by this name parameter (for example, var_name) information of indication from the off line proxy requests of storage.

This extract instruction can with such as the server side scripts language of PERL regex by regular expression (regex) (for example, JSON call): get_bytes[23-28] or " expression formula of capture rule ", be achieved.This extraction instruction can also be achieved by Xpath or XQuery.This extraction instruction can also comprise the XSLT conversion.This extraction instruction can also comprise custom program, and this custom program itself is the instruction that is used to handle this request.For example, be used for to be achieved by the XHTML webpage that contains JavaScript from the storage instruction of this data result information extraction.

Decoding parametric can comprise that the data formatting parameter of regularity (for example, formatting_rules) and be used for showing with the form that external application (for example, this display application program) uses the instruction of the variable in this data result.This announcement application program can make this act on behalf of that the announcement program is represented how to show with one group and the optional independent instruction that formats these extraction data is stored with this information request.This format instruction can comprise character string, and this character string is extracted application program exactly can content displayed in the warning dialogue.This parameter can utilize the different phonetic parameter to duplicate.This format instruction can be the transformation rule collection, and this transformation rule collection is got this extraction value and to show it such as the specific format (for example, if 2007.04.11 is this date, then by regex it being transformed to April 11,2007) by XSLT.This extraction instruction is used for extraction and by this invokes application (for example is positioned at, announce application program) data returned of the server of the URL that forms, and how these these extraction data of format instruction detailed description should appear in the application-specific (for example, display application program) that is positioned at outside this invokes application.

This format instruction can be achieved by the regular expression (regex) that is independent of the regex that extracts this data use.This format instruction can also comprise the XSLT conversion.This format instruction can also be achieved by stored programme according to its oneself right.For example, this stored programme itself can be used as parameter and transmits, and it carries this extraction data, and in the mode that the external application outside this invokes application can use and handle, and shows or formats this extraction data.For example, this stored programme can comprise the script application programe such as XHTML+JavaScript.This demonstration and format instruction can also be achieved by the custom language of creating in order to format these extraction data.This demonstration and format instruction can also authorize string function parameter (capable string function parameter) to be achieved by A C/C++ sprintf ().

This decoding parametric can comprise special parameters, and (for example, set_request_private), this special parameters can be achieved by attribute set, and therefore, the off line proxy requests can not be read by external application.The agency never encourages to realize maintaining secrecy from the request of application-specific by indication, and this announcement application program can have a mind to not expose its data.Like this, can prevent that application-specific from receiving the cached data result of given announcement application program and announcing parameter.Therefore, this announcement application program can be carried out the off line request, and this off line request is to use other application program special-purpose (rather than sharing).

This announcement parameter can comprise event argument or order, and this is acted on behalf of the announcement program and represents the application program outside the Request Processing to carry out action to be used for requirement, so that web applications works as conventional application program, but having background wakes task up.Whether this optional parameter can be carried out depends on security classification and operating system.This event argument can comprise wake_upon (condition) parameter or order, is used for asking this to act on behalf of the announcement program and waking (startup) application program up in the time satisfying specific off line and act on behalf of condition (for example, receiving Email).Whether actual this application program that starts is by privacy clearance or operating system decision.This acts on behalf of the announcement program can the executive operating system service, so that the application program sleep, thereby announce the service that can read and can be sent to other application program.For example, the C/C++ application program can utilize this to act on behalf of the request that the bulletin self of announcement program is upgraded and proposed shared announced result.Usually, when satisfying specific wake-up condition, any application program by compiling (static linkage) can be utilized this to act on behalf of the announcement program and wake up.

This event argument can comprise alert_upon (condition) parameter or order, is used for asking this to act on behalf of the announcement program this operating system being given a warning when satisfying condition (for example, announcing that application program should be noted that).This can make web applications pass through this and act on behalf of announcement program bulletin information.This response can be text or the icon notification on the home base/free screen of the message of bulletin in the dialog box or this device.For example, the script widget application program that operates on the honeycomb telephone device can provide Email to check service, and can set incident, so that when this acts on behalf of announcement program discovery new e-mail, event request is sent to the free screen of this device, check its Email so that this user knows.The warning parameter can also comprise optional alert_msg parameter and optional alert_urgency parameter.

Can be according to the secrecy policy of operating system, the off line powers and functions of application program are announced in restriction.For example, this act on behalf of the announcement program can with mutual secrecy policy of this operating system and permission, the use of announcing application program off line powers and functions with restriction.Whether in certain embodiments, for secret purpose, this is acted on behalf of the announcement program and comprises application signature ID or reference page, be used for operating system decision and respond and wake up or change condition and carry out request.
