A system and method for error handling associated with a widget are disclosed. The system comprises a registration module, a communication interface, a command module, a manager monitoring module and an error detection engine. These entities are communicatively coupled to each other. The registration module registers a widget to be hosted on the host page. The host page is presented on a user device. The communication interface receives a notification indicating that the widget is ready to be displayed on the host page and sends the notification to the manager monitoring module. The manager monitoring module instructs the command module to generate a command to display the widget. The command is sent to the user device for displaying the widget. The manager monitoring module monitors the displayed widget. The error detection engine detects an error associated with the widget and performs an error correction procedure to the widget.

A system and method for deferring the loading of user interface (UI) components of a web page. A processing module receives data describing user activities and generates user behavior data for a user in a social network. A component engine generates the data for loading different UI components of the web page. A user behavior module receives the user behavior data and determines an order in which each UI component of the web page is loaded. A loading engine transmits data to a user's browser for loading a static version of the web page and then loads the different UI components according to the order.

Deferred loading of a web page

A sender email client, in response to a request to send an email with attachment, determines whether a recipient of the email has distributed storage separate from an incoming email server of the recipient for storing email attachments. If so, a location server is consulted for the distributed storage's network address and its availability is determined. The send request is then serviced accordingly. An email service, in response to receiving an email with attachment, determines whether a recipient of the email has distributed storage for storing email attachments. If so, its network address and availability are likewise determined. The attachments are forwarded to the recipient's distributed storage for storage, when it becomes available. An email recipient client, in response to a request to access an email attachment, retrieves the attachment from the recipient's distributed storage or the incoming email server, as appropriate.

The invention provides apparatus, computer program, and method for multiple operating system support and a fast startup capability in a computer or information appliance. It permits execution of one of a plurality of available operating systems at the time of powering on the device and where data generated within one of the plurality of operating systems is available to a different application program executing within a different operating system on the same device. Provides for unattended file transfers and appliance mode operation for playing back digital audio without the overhead associated with conventional systems. Permit various microprocessor based systems to operate efficiently and with lower overhead. In one aspect, the invention provides a device, such as a computer or information appliance, including a processor and memory coupled to the processor; a storage system coupled to the processor and storing a portion of a first operating system in a first storage region and a portion of a second operating system in a second storage region; the storage system further providing read/write compatible storage and retrieval of data for first and second application programs executing in each of the first operating system and the second operating system respectively; and a boot controller responsive to receipt of a boot control indicator when the processor initiates a boot to an operational state to control booting or the processor into a selected one of the first operating system and the second operating system. Method, computer program, and computer program product are also provided.

An object-oriented printing system includes objects that provide query, data transfer, and control methods. The inventive object-oriented printing system communicates with the remainder of the operating system by means of a standard interface such as a grafport and printer drivers are provided for each printer type within the operating system. Thus, an application not only need not worry about the particular printer/computer combination with which it is to operate, but also need not have a built in document formatting capability. The printing system includes objects that provide queries for device identification, optimized imaging, and printer status. Other objects are also provided for data transfer to bracket connections prior to sending and receiving information. Still other objects are provided for cancelling a print job, pausing a job, and clearing out a job. Finally, an object is also provided for supporting multiple streams of communication to an imaging task.

A method and system for graphic state processing in which a graphic state object separate from a graphic contains state information. The state object can be accessed during times other than drawing. The object is comprised of sub-states which represent particular graphic processing states. A graphic need only send the graphic hierarchy, and the graphic state object automatically takes care of the sending of the graphic states to the rendering device. The graphic state object is an entity separate from the graphic which is to be drawn.

A system and method providing a cursor tool framework and tool server with support for multiple cursors on any given system, and supporting the selection of a cursor tool using a cursor. The framework and server facilitate the association of cursor tools to a cursor in a process-independent space such that tools can be used cross-process and cross-document. The framework also provides default functionality for communication among cursor tools and the canvas on which they are used. This high degree of interaction allows any cursor tool and any document to function together such that the cursor tool can be written without the participation of the document developer.

An object-oriented document architecture provides system level support for document processing features from within an active document utilizing a novel technique termed a proxy. A proxy integrates external document management functions simultaneously and seamlessly into the standard operating system document processing commands. The system utilizes a revolutionary object-oriented framework system to provide an interface facilitating document access and editing functions from within a document or other active application.

An object-oriented compound document architecture provides system level support for document processing features. The object-oriented compound document framework supports a variety of document processing functions. The framework provides system level support of collaboration, linking, eternal undo, and content based retrieval, among other things. System level support is provided for document changes, annotation through model and linking, anchors, model hierarchies, enhanced copy and pasting, command objects, and a generic retrieval framework.

An operating system software architecture, implemented in an object-oriented design, supports and processes color. The object-oriented design has two levels, one being a class (TColor) defining a virtual abstract base class and being a container class containing calibrated colors, the other being a class (TDeviceColor) defining a virtual abstract base class and a container class containing uncalibrated colors. Several calibrated color classes including a class (TXYZColor) defining XYZ color space descend directly from class (TColor), several uncalibrated color classes including a class (TRGBColor) descending directly from class (TDeviceColor), a class (TColorGamut) storing color gamut information of peripheral devices that may interface with the architecture, and a class (TColorProfile) storing tonal reproduction curves of the peripheral devices provide data structures, together with method functions for various color processing. The architecture is extensible to add new color classes as new color models and devices are developed, to add new color matching algorithms as desired, allows users to work in color space of their choice, and provides for color matching amongst any peripheral devices interfacing with the architecture.
