In one embodiment, a computing device configured to execute a hosted application includes a processor and storage, where an operating system is installed on the computing device, an application platform application including a rendering engine process including a virtual machine and an integration process, at least one hosted application comprising a background page file, wherein the virtual machine is configured to parse instructions in the background page file to download at least one remotely hosted file for rendering a web page, build a document object model (DOM), and modify the DOM in accordance with a predetermined DOM modification rule to create a modified DOM based on the computing environment, and wherein the rendering engine process is configured to render a user interface page integrated into the computing environment of the operating system of the computing device based on the DOM generated by the execution of the background page.

Systems and methods for hosted applications

Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention enable streamlined content download that minimizes user input during the download process. One embodiment includes a system for streamlined downloading of content to a user computing device, including: an application server system configured to locate an intermediary application in response to a request received from a user computing device; where the intermediary application includes a content ID and configures a user computing device to initialize a download manager on a user computing device, and to pass the content ID to the download manager; and where the download manager configures the user computing device to utilize the content ID to retrieve content access information, and download content from a content server system utilizing the content access information.

Systems and methods for streamlined content download

Systems and methods for locally managing a user's interaction with content derived from web pages along with the tracking of the creation and update of the content in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment of the invention includes a computing device configured to create a user hosted application including an application platform application stored in the storage of the computing device, where the application platform application includes a rendering engine process and an integration process, at least one hosted application including a background page file, wherein the virtual machine is configured to parse the instructions in the scripting language contained within the background page file, and to obtain at least one user hosted application, where a user hosted application and transmit a notification message based on obtaining the at least one user hosted application.

Systems and methods for tracking and updating hosted applications

Systems and methods for locally managing a user's interaction with content derived from web pages within the user interface of an application executing within a runtime provided by an application platform on a computing device in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In many embodiments, a runtime provided by an application platform enables the execution of a non-natively implemented hosted application in which executing instructions in a scripting language within a background page control the downloading and modification of web content to create user interface pages for the hosted application.
