Patent ID: 8122107

Claim:
In a wireless network of the type including at least one disparate device communicating with a remote computing device over a wireless link, said disparate device being configured to receive input from an associated disparate device user, a method for asynchronously delivering tasks to said disparate device in a way such that the wireless disparate device is able to continue working on delivered tasks even when connectivity with said remote computing device has been lost, the method comprising: generating a description of a collection of tasks to be performed on the disparate device, said description comprising a sequenced plurality of nodes providing an integrated definition of an application and its associated data; transmitting said sequenced plurality of nodes to said disparate device over an electromagnetic wave comprising electromagnetic signals, said transmitted sequenced plurality of nodes representing a collection of managed objects or managed object representations effective to control processing of a plurality of information types at said disparate device; and controlling the disparate device to send responses independently of when they are inputted by the disparate device user into the disparate device, thereby permitting the disparate device to continue performing tasks even when connectivity between said disparate device and said remote computing device has been lost.
