Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of identifying a common visible region in purposing media, the method comprising: receiving selection, in an integrated development environment (IDE) encoded on a computer readable medium, of a first mask from a plurality of masks, each of said plurality of masks representing one or more mobile communication device formats, each of said plurality of masks having at least one of the one or more mobile communication device formats being different than at least one of the one or more mobile communication device formats of another of said plurality of masks, and each of said plurality of masks having: wherein the visible display area represented by the un-obscuring region for the first mask is different than at least one visible display area represented by at least one un-obscuring region for one or more additional masks from said plurality of masks; wherein said first mask is layered separately from the content when displayed in said IDE; receiving, in the IDE encoded on said computer readable medium, selection of said one or more additional masks from said plurality to lay over said content; displaying a common intersection of said un-obscuring region of said first mask and said one or more additional masks to identify a common visible display part of said represented one or more mobile communication device formats of said first mask and said one or more additional masks; and distinguishing overlapping regions of said first mask and said one or more additional masks, wherein the distinguished overlapping regions correspond to respective portions of said content that are visible on the common visible display region of respective proper subsets of the represented mobile communication device formats, wherein receiving selection of the first mask, receiving selection of the one or more additional masks, displaying the common intersection, and distinguishing the overlapping regions are performed by a data processing apparatus.
