Abstract: A variety of data structures, components, runtime viewers and methods are described for defining, delivering and rendering wrapped packages of cards in a manner particularly well suited, but not limited to, display on mobile devices. Each card may selectively include media content, a palette of application functionality and/or supporting e-commerce related services. A wrap descriptor, composed of a plurality of card descriptors defines the structure, layout and content of a set of cards that constitute the wrap. The wrap descriptor may take the form of a JSON data object. A runtime viewer that executes on the rendering computing device may be used to transform the wrap descriptor into a runtime instance of the wrap that includes the content and functionality defined by the descriptor. In some implementations, the runtime viewer creates an object graph, which may then be converted to an object model suitable for rendering on the consuming device.

Abstract: An authoring tool for authoring wrap packages of cards. The authoring tool includes a set of tools that enable an author to create a new card of a wrap selected from a variety of card templates. In various embodiments, the card templates include textual, video, image/photo, document, gallery, chat, widgets, global components, location/GPS, transact, appointment, and end-of-wrap card templates. When a particular card template is selected, the template is then duplicated to create the new card. Thereafter, the author may author the card to include various components, content, attributes, layouts, styles triggers and/or behaviors. As the cards of the wrap are created, the authoring tool provides the author with the ability to order the sequence of the cards. The authoring tool thus enables authors to selectively create wrap packages that include media that conveys a narrative story and application functionality.
