Distributed hypermedia method and system for automatically invoking external application providing interaction and display of embedded objects within a hypermedia document
US 20030154261 A1
A system allowing a user of a browser program on a computer connected to an open distributed hypermedia system to access and execute an embedded program object. The program object is embedded into a hypermedia document much like data objects. The user may select the program object from the screen. Once selected the program object executes on the user's (client) computer or may execute on a remote server or additional remote computers in a distributed processing arrangement. After launching the program object, the user is able to interact with the object as the invention provides for ongoing interprocess communication between the application object (program) and the browser program. One application of the embedded program object allows a user to view large and complex multi-dimensional objects from within the browser's window. The user can manipulate a control panel to change the viewpoint used to view the image. The invention allows a program to execute on a remote server or other computers to calculate the viewing transformations and send frame data to the client computer thus providing the user of the client computer with interactive features and allowing the user to have access to greater computing power than may be available at the user's client computer.
What is claimed is:
1. A computer program product for use in a system having at least one client workstation and one network server coupled to a network environment, wherein said network environment is a distributed hypermedia, environment, wherein said client workstation utilizes a browser to display, on said client workstation, at least a portion of a first hypermedia document received over said network from said server, wherein the portion of said first hypermedia document is displayed within a first browser-controlled window on said client workstation, wherein said first distributed hypermedia document includes an embed text format, located at a first location in said first distributed hypermedia document, that specifies, either directly or indirectly, the location of at least a portion of said object, wherein said portion is external to said first distributed hypermedia document, wherein said object has type information associated with it utilized to identify and locate computer readable program code external to the first distributed hypermedia document, and wherein said embed text format is parsed by said browser to automatically invoke said computer readable program code, the computer program product comprising:
a computer usable medium having computer readable program code physically embodied therein, said computer program product further comprising:
computer readable program code, identified by said type information, for being automatically invoked by the browser application to cause the client workstation to display an object and enable interactive processing of said object within the display area created at said first location within the portion of the first distributed hypermedia document being displayed in the first browser controlled window.
