One or more of the user interface screen devices are associated (e.g., bound) to occurrences of the same JSON message as were bound to fields of the user interface form. The selected one or more interface screen devices are output in a format of data that describes the selected interface screen devices in a manner for deployment on corresponding a mobile device or devices.

Abstract: A server system receives requests for content from a computing device, retrieves the content, and renders the content in a virtual client, e.g. virtual browser, and transmits the rendering to the computing device. The capabilities of the computing device are evaluated. Some content, such as video content may be transmitted directly to the computing device rather than rendered in the virtual client. The capabilities of the computing device may include processing speed and available bandwidth. Content may also be reformatted by the server system before transmitting to the computing device. Co-use, e.g. co-browsing, of the content may be performed by transmitting images of a virtual screen of the virtual client to multiple computing devices and processing inputs from the multiple computing devices in the virtual client.

Abstract: Embodiments can provide interactivity to one or more components (e.g., windows, dialog boxes, tool bar, etc.) in a visual analyzer application while blocking interactivity for other components displayed on a GUI of the application.
