A request reception module receives a request for an document stored within document server. A parsing module parses the requested document to generate therefrom a corresponding document object model (DOM) including at least one object. An instruction obtaining module obtains a transformation instruction directed to a first object of the DOM. An object transformation module transforms the first object in accordance with the transformation instruction. A flattening module flattens the DOM to generate therefrom a corresponding transformed document. A transmission module transmits the transformed document to a requesting client program.

Providing dynamic web pages by separating scripts and HTML code

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a computer implemented modification system for supporting localized data changes in a computer. A change is executed to data in a computer having a local database. The change is performed by the computer to modify data in the local database stored within a data storage device at the computer. The change is indicated as being global. When the local database on the computer is synchronized with a main database on another computer, only global changes are transmitted from the local database to the main database.

Modification system for supporting localized data changes in a mobile device

The present invention discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for generating a database application. In accordance with the present invention, a features list is built for the database application. The features list contains user-selected functions. The database application is dynamically configured based on the built features list.

Generating small footprint applications for mobile devices

The present invention provides a method and system for controlling a device. The system includes a personal digital assistant with a computer program for receiving a program information from a source and selecting a program based upon the program information; and an emulator for sending a signal to a device based upon the selected program. The personal digital assistant receives the program information from a source and selects a program based upon the program information. In the preferred embodiment, the device includes a television and a video cassette recorder. With the method and system of the present invention, a user can place into use the program schedule information in the personal digital assistant without the need for a separate remote control. This simplifies the use of the program schedule information in the personal digital assistant.

Method and system for using a personal digital assistant as a remote control

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a computer-implemented live connection manager. A statement is executed in a computer to retrieve data from a database stored on a data storage device connected to the computer. In particular, a first statement is received from another computer via an internet network. The first statement is prepared to create an executable structure for executing the first statement. A second statement is received from another computer via an internet network. Then, when the received second statement or portion thereof is the same as the first statement or portion thereof, processing the second statement or portion thereof by executing the executable structure created for the first statement or portion thereof.

Multi-level live connection for fast dynamic access to business

Disclosed are a method and processor for linking a dynamic data fetch command to a document file, the document file initially in a preliminary markup state having at least one matching pair of a special beginning tag and a special ending tag, the tags separately contained in sequential comment statements of the preliminary markup document file, the tags delimiting and identifying an area in the preliminary markup document file for placement of requested dynamic data, the dynamic data fetch command located in a predefined script file having a linkage identifier, comprising the steps of identifying, in the preliminary markup document file, the matching pair of the special beginning tag and the special ending tag to identify the delimited area therebetween; selecting the predefined script file; generating a linked document file from the preliminary markup document file, adding, at the identified area in the preliminary markup document file, the linkage identifier for the selected predefined script file; and merging the predefined script file having the dynamic data variable fetch command with the linked document file.

Merging tagged documents and scripts having dynamic content

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for replicating data stored in source database tables in a database management system implemented by a server at a remote client implemented on a client computer. The method comprises the steps of receiving a subscription message from the client computer, wherein the subscription message specifies a remote client database table and a data replication period, receiving a change log from the database management system at the data replication agent, generating a table of changed data by using the change log, data replication period, and source database table to reconstruct changes to the remote client database table, and transmitting the changed data table to the remote client.

Agent for replicating data based on a client defined replication period

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for providing access to information stored in a database management system. The method and apparatus uses an intelligent generic query agent to operate with a wide variety of remote users, and to allow implementation of a wide variety of optimization schemes. The method comprises receiving a request from the remote user at the agent, transforming the request into database management system commands optimized in accordance with user-specified optimization criteria, transmitting the database management system commands to the database management system, receiving the database management system command result from the database management system in the agent, transforming the database management system command result into a response message, and transmitting the response message to from the agent to the remote user.
