A scaleable graphical user interface system for migrating the running state of graphical user interface widgets between heterogeneous device platforms includes a platform independent presentation model. The current running state of a first platform specific presentation operating on a first heterogeneous device platform may update the running state of the platform independent presentation model. The platform independent presentation model may be customized to generate a second platform specific presentation for a second heterogeneous device platform. The running state of the platform independent presentation module may be applied to the second platform specific presentation module to implement the current running state from the first heterogeneous device platform on the second heterogeneous device platform.

Running state migration of platform specific graphical user interface widgets between heterogeneous device platforms

A scaleable graphical user interface system utilizes a device platform independent model to provide dynamic layout of graphical user interface widgets migrated between any of a plurality of heterogeneous device platforms. The device platform independent model includes at least one platform independent graphical user interface widget. Based on the device platform independent model, platform specific graphical user interface widgets that correspond to each of the platform independent graphical user interface widgets may be laid out on a page and compared to the size of a display screen of a heterogeneous device platform. Where the page does not fit within the display screen, the platform independent graphical user interface widgets may be dynamically rearranged within the page to fit the display screen. In addition, where designated as splitable, the platform independent graphical user interface widgets may be split among multiple pages of a presentation to fit within the display screen.

Layout of platform specific graphical user interface widgets migrated between heterogeneous device platforms

A scalable graphical user interface system may dynamically transform platform specific graphical user interface widgets migrated within an application graphical user interface between any of a plurality of heterogeneous device platforms. The scalable graphical user interface system includes a platform independent presentation model that is mapped to platform specific graphical user interface widgets. The platform independent presentation model includes platform independent graphical user interface widgets. The platform independent graphical user interface widgets may be selectively transformed with transformation rules to generate a platform specific presentation for use by the application graphical user interface on one of the heterogeneous device platforms. Applicable transformation rules may be prioritized for each selected platform independent graphical user interface widget. A highest priority transformation rule may be applied to transform the selected platform independent graphical user interface widget.

A method and system for preserving application session states among multiple terminals. An application session state is captured from a first terminal. The application session state is stored on a central storage device or repository server. The application session state is then retrieved from the central storage device with a second terminal. At least one application on the second terminal is then placed in the application session state using the information that is retrieved from the central storage device.

Application mobility service

Method and computer program product stored on a tangible medium that store instructions including providing a procedure file, storing and managing a plurality of tickets, each ticket including a first identifier given to a commodity, and searching, based on the first identifier and a ticket request submitted by a user, a ticket of the plurality of tickets corresponding to the first identifier. The method and computer program product then presents information about the commodity included in the ticket, information about a service that provides the commodity, and service provision content information acquired during the search.

There are provided a device and method for enabling entry of handwritten data, such as a signature, without use of an electronic tablet. In step S-, a user affixes a signature by means of moving a pen devicein midair. In step S-, camera meansphotographs the pen deviceand outputs the resultant image data. In step S-, coordinate computation meansdetermines coordinates of a pen tip of the pen meanson a screen on the basis of the image data (motion picture data), thereby determining signature data. In step S-, comparison verification meanscompares and verifies the thus-determined signature data with reference data. If a similarity exists between the signature data and the reference data, there is output an authentication result showing 'authentication of verification.' Thus, personal identification can be effected on the basis of the signature data written by the user in midair.
