Abstract: Mechanisms for natively rendering and optimizing Internet contents on different displays of mobile computing devices receive screen description for a webpage from a server supporting a Web server hosting a software application and prepare and transmit an inquiry to multiple painters to inquire whether these painters have native capability and functionality to paint a single screen for optimal viewing experiences on displays of mobile computing devices having different sizes or resolutions. A receiving painter includes its own decision mechanism to respond to the inquiry either affirmatively or negatively. A painter is selected from one or more painters receiving the inquiry and responding affirmatively. When no receiving painters respond affirmatively to the inquiry, a web view screen painter is selected to paint the screen on a mobile communication device display in a way that the screen resembles or appears exactly like the webpage when displayed on a computer display.

Abstract: Help information for a software application is provided based on a user help knowledge base. The user help knowledge base includes a user help profile indicating help information previously selected by the user. Examples of data tracked for the previously selected help information include the application context in which it selected, a presentation mode in which it was presented, at least one associated help topic, and a help content format. The user help knowledge base can further comprise a user profile maintained by the software application. Based on the information in the user help knowledge base, as well as the current context of the application and/or user data entered, the help module selects help information pertinent to the user and the current context of the application. A presentation mode, for example a video mode, an audio mode or a display mode, is selected for the help information as well based on the user help knowledge base.
