Abstract: A simplified and accelerated determination of how much of a display element, generated by instructions executing on a computing device, is displayed is achieved through approximations based on a two-dimensional array whose dimensions are commensurate with a size of the display element. Each entry in the array is initialized to one binary value. If the display element is cut off by either physical display boundaries or by boundaries of a host display element, or if it is overlapped by another element, then the entries in the array corresponding to those portions of the display element that are not visible are changed to another binary value. Subsequently, the quantity of entries in the array having the original, initialized binary value, as compared with the total quantity of entries in the array, can provide an accurate approximation for how much of the display element was displayed.

Abstract: A client computing system comprises, in one example, a communication interface configured to communicate with a server environment that hosts a set of application services that interact in accordance with a communication protocol to provide service functionality to the client computing system, a development component configured to develop the service functionality by generating a protocol logic component that controls messaging between the set of application services using the communication protocol, and a runtime component configured to generate a message on the client computing system using the protocol logic component and send the message to the server environment.
