  • Patent number: 9026583
    Abstract: Polymorphic serialization is disclosed. In one embodiment polymorphic serialization may include generating a first reply in response to receiving a first request from a first device, the first reply including first content in a first serialization format. The first reply is transmitted to the first device via a first communication link. A second reply may be generated in response to receiving a second request from a second device, the second reply including second content in a second serialization format. The second reply is transmitted to the second device via a second communication link. The first and second devices are distinct from each other, and the first and second serialization formats are distinct from each other.

  • Publication number: 20120079009
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for choosing resources based on context and inheritance. In one embodiment of the method, a computer system receives a page request from a mobile device, wherein the page request comprises data that identifies a mobile device type. In response to receiving the page request, the computer system selecting a page definition, wherein the page definition comprises one or more resource identifiers. The computer system selects a first identifier from the one or more identifiers. The computer system creates a list of keys, wherein each key of the list is distinct from the other keys in the list, and each key of the list is created as a function of the first identifier and the data or a portion thereof. The computer system accesses a memory structure that directly or indirectly maps resources to respective keys. The computer system selects a first key from the list, and compares the first key with keys in the memory structure.
