COOPERATIVE WEB BROWSING USING MULTIPLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18339678 Titled 'COOPERATIVE WEB BROWSING USING MULTIPLE DEVICES'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a framework that allows multiple devices to browse the web together, even if some of the devices are not designed for web browsing and have limited capabilities. This is achieved through a proxy server that acts as a virtual browser, handling all the technical aspects of browsing and displaying web pages. The devices only need to have basic decoding and display capabilities to access the web. Additionally, the framework includes a touch controller that can be used as a remote control for devices that have limited user input capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
A proxy-based thin-client web browsing framework enables cooperative web browsing of multiple devices. The multiple devices may include devices that are not intended for web browsing and have limited or no web browsers and/or user input capabilities. The proxy-based thin client web browsing framework employs a virtual browser at a proxy server to perform all browser-engine logics, and retrieve, render and encode web pages on behalf of the multiple devices. The multiple devices therefore only need to have limited decoding and display capabilities to perform web browsing. The proxy-based thin client web browsing framework further includes a touch controller as a remote controller for a device that has no or limited user texting or manipulating capabilities.
