Patent number: 10210260Abstract: A client device presents a resource to a user. In order to present the resource, the client device generates and renders one or more presentation strings. The client device generates a presentation string by identifying a template module that corresponds to an content resource object in a dataset downloaded by the client device. The client device then performs a template execution operation on the content resource object. The template module corresponding to the content resource object specifies the template execution operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jonathan Thomas Campbell, Zhenguang Chen, Anthony Lawrence Jackson, Ping Jiang, Arun Krishnamoorthy, Boxin Li, Charles Reeves Little, II, Charles Keller Smith, Brian William Timm, Andrew Joseph Violino, Kerem Yuceturk
