  • Publication number: 20110066681
    Abstract: It is possible to automatically execute an offline Web application without requiring installation of software. A mobile terminal includes: a client program, a server program execution environment and a local proxy server. An application server has a server program. The local proxy server of the mobile terminal acquires a server program from the application server in accordance with an HTTP request from the client program and installs the program in the server program execution environment. When the installation is complete, synchronization with the server program of the application server side is executed. The local proxy server divides the HTTP request from the client program to a server program on the mobile terminal and a server program on the application server.

  • Publication number: 20040095401
    Abstract: A multi-window display device is provided which is capable of preventing interference in displaying of windows caused by a window control request from any one of two or more application programs. A window manager judges whether or not a window control request from the application program corresponding to any one of two or more windows being displayed on a display section is allowed to be executed, based on preset display priority of the application program that has made a window control request and, if a result of the judgement shows that the request is allowed to be executed, executes the window control request and preferentially displays the any one of two or more windows and, if the result of the judgement shows that the request is not allowed to be executed, neglects the window control request.
