Abstract: A generic interface device may operate as an interface with different types of electronic data devices that perform data operations. The interface device may establish communications with one of these data devices, and identify the particular type of data device based on data received from the data device. Using the identified type of data device, the interface device downloads a suitable computer program from a server. By executing the downloaded program, the interface device is able to obtain, understand and output specialized data produced by the data device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for presenting remote and local information in the same user interface by means of a web browser. This is obtained by letting a web browser engine 250 communicate with an additional ECMAScript module 280 that has been designed for the browser, allowing JavaScript environment to be extended with new classes and methods implemented in native code. The module 280 can be conditionally compiled into a build of a web browser on potentially any software platform. Once a build of a web browser has been created with the JavaScript extension functionality enabled, then the JavaScript environment can be extended by placing a specially written library 270 in a certain directory on the electronic device along with a permissions initiation file 260, specifying which Web pages will have access to the extensions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a client terminal, and a computer program, in particular a Web browser, for presenting a (X)HTML document which includes a table on a display. The table in the (X)HTML document is examined and determined to be a true table or a non-true table. If the table is determined to be a true table, the content of the table, including its table structure, is presented on the display. If the table is determined to be a non-true table, the table is formatted by rejecting the table structure, and the content of the table is presented as a linear structure on the display. The invention is particularly suitable for presenting (X)HTML documents that include tables, on a client terminal with a display with a limited number of horizontal pixels, such as a mobile telephone or a PDA. The invention also relates to a method, a client terminal, and a computer program for determining if a table in a markup language document is a true table or a non-true table.
