Abstract:
1. A method for generating user interface output on an output device attached to a remote computer, wherein the remote computer communicates over a network to at least one server, comprising: receiving an object including user interface components and data from one server; generating user interface output from the user interface components and data in the object, wherein the user interface output generates a web browser interface; receiving standard application program interfaces (API) that are a member of a set of standard APIs in a first format from at least one server over the network; converting the standard APIs in the first format to a user interface API in a second format; executing the user interface APIs in the second format to manipulate the object and generate further user interface output from the components and data in the object, wherein the user interface output is controlled by the at least one server through the standard APIs sent by the at least one server over the network; receiving user input commands at the remote computer; generating user interface APIs in the second format to implement the user input commands; and executing the generated user interface APIs to manipulate the object and generate further user interface output from the components and data in the object.
