Patent number: 9772986Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein provide access to a markup document form. A user interface virtualization (UIV) agent identifies name fields and input fields in rows of the markup document form. The UIV agent maps each of the name fields to a respective one of the input fields to identify name-input pairs. The UIV agent generates user interface (UI) metadata having row metadata specifying the rows of the markup document and name-input pair metadata specifying the name-input pairs. The UIV agent sends the UI metadata to a mobile client device configured to render a form having UI elements native to the mobile client device based on the UI metadata.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Yao Zhang, Yu Xin Kou, Chang Yan Chi, Zhibin He, Junfei Wu

Patent number: 9477496Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading classes to virtual machines and a method and apparatus for reorganizing class archives. The method for loading a class to a virtual machine includes organizing a class archive before class loading such that the organized class archive includes a class contraction portion and loading only the class contraction portion of the class archive to the virtual machine at the moment of class loading. By first loading the class contraction portion from the organized class archive to the virtual machine at the moment of loading, the present invention curtails code redundancy, shortens loading time and reduces occupied memory resources.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2009Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Chang Yan Chi, Xin Hui Li, Wen Peng Xiao

Patent number: 9355081Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein transform HTML forms into forms with graphical user interfaces (UIs) native to mobile devices. A user interface virtualization (UIV) agent divides an HTML form into rows based on row breaks. The UIV agent then identifies name-input pairs in the HTML form by applying a trained naïve Bayes classifier to determine name fields, and mapping the name fields to corresponding input fields. In addition, the UIV agent generates metadata which includes both information describing the rows in the form and the name-input information. Based on the metadata, a native form renderer running in the client device draws the form with native UI elements. In addition, the native form renderer forwards native UI events as HTML events.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Yao Zhang, Yu Xin Kou, Chang Yan Chi, Zhibin He, Junfei Wu
