- This invention relates in general to methods and information handling systems, and more particularly, to methods of generating information for a user and information handling systems for carrying out those methods.
- Characteristics of mobile devices vary widely. Some mobile devices may support only specific type(s) of markup languages. Other mobile devices have limitations due to screen size or other hardware, software, or firmware configurations.
- Information from websites or other network sources may do a poor job of presenting the information.
- a web page is generated for a specific markup language or for a specific type of presentation device.
- the ability to present information on various types of mobile devices has meant that the user of a particular device may have to deal with annoying organizations of information that is difficult to read or through which to navigate.
- a website operator may generate many different pages of the same information to accommodate the different combinations of markup languages and device limitations (e.g., screens for the devices). Generating many different pages in different formats to accommodate the different markup language- device combinations can be very costly.
- a system has been devised to generate a more user-friendly interface that can be used when sending the same information to a plethora of different mobile communicating devices.
- the system can use integration classes to separate presentation/user interface information from business logic.
- the system also can use a device profile of the connecting device and a transformation rule to get the information into the appropriate markup language for the connecting device.
- the system allows the ability to generate code for a web page as little as one time without having to re-code a web page for each combination of markup language and device.
- the system can be easily updated for new markup languages and devices that may be made available in the future.
- a method of generating information can comprise receiving a request for the information from a device.
- the method also can comprise accessing presentation information and business logic corresponding to the request.
- the method can further comprise determining an attribute of the device and accessing a transformation rule that can be used to transform the presentation information and the business logic for a markup language to a different markup language compatible with the user's device.
- the method can comprise generating a grammar consistent with the presentation information, the business logic, the attribute of the device, and the transformation rule.
- the method can also comprise using the grammar to generate the information.
- a method of generating information can comprise receiving a request for the information from a device.
- the method can also comprise determining that the information should be in a form using a specific grammar.
- the method can further comprise determining that the specific grammar resides in memory.
- the specific grammar may be consistent with presentation information, business logic, an attribute of the device, and a transformation rule.
- the presentation information and the business logic may correspond to the request.
- the transformation rule can be used to transform the presentation information and business logic in a markup language to a different markup language compatible with the device.
- the method can also comprise using the grammar in generating the information.
- an information handling system can be used for generating an information in response to a request from a device.
- the system can comprise a document profile component, a device profile component, a transformation rule component, and a presentation component.
- the document profile component can provide a presentation information and a business logic corresponding to the request.
- the device profile component can provide an attribute of a device.
- the transformation rule component can provide a transformation rule that can be used to transform the presentation information and the business logic in a markup language to a different markup language compatible with the device.

- FIG. 4 includes a software configuration 400 that can be used with the system.
- the configuration 400 can be used in transforming a specific type of extensible Markup Language (“XML”) called Application Description Markup Language (“ADML”) to other markup languages, including HyperText Markup Language (“HTML”) including all of its different versions, Wireless Markup Language (“WML”), Handheld Device Markup Language (“HDML”), VoiceXML, and the like.
- XML extensible Markup Language
- HTML HyperText Markup Language
- WML Wireless Markup Language
- HDML Handheld Device Markup Language
- VoiceXML VoiceXML
- ADML can be an XML-based resource that describes the presentation of an application in a device and network (platform) agnostic manner.
- the configuration 400 can include seven distinct Java and XML software components that leverage existing standards in their design and implementation as shown in FIG. 4.
- Those software components can include a document profile component 410, a device profile component 420, a transformation rule component 430, a user profile component 440, a mobile presentation engine (presentation component) 450, a Target Active Grammar (TAG) cache 462 and TAG f ⁇ le(s) 464, and a servlet engine (an execution environment or component) 470.
- TAG Target Active Grammar
- the software configuration 400 and much of the following discussion regarding methods of using the system refer to server computer 180, the alternative system shown and described in FIG. 2 could be used.
- the components within the configuration 400 may be executed by the page generator 220.
- the device profile and transformation rules may be obtained from database 270 using the object manager 260.
- Business (back-end) logic, class definitions, and business data may reside in HD 248 of the application server 240 or database 250.
- Other organizations and divisions of components and information are possible. Therefore, the organizations and divisions are given as examples and not meant to limit the present invention.
- the document profile component 410 can include an editor 412 and an ADML file 414, which may be a resource file.
- ADML can be used as a language to describe an application in terms of presentation/user interfaces and business integration objects using integration classes in a device and network independent way.
- ADML can be defined in a document type definition ("DTD") based on XML, similar to HTML is defined by a different DTD and is also based on XML.
- ADML includes a superset grammar that reduces lines of code needed to be produced. This can be achieved by creating a union of the different markup languages so that potentially any or all markup languages may be used when sending information from the server computer 180 to the user 120.
- ADML can be tailored for mobile or wireless devices, such as devices 142, 144, 146, or 148 as shown in FIG. 1. These devices can vary greatly in how they present information to user 120. ADML can borrow from screen-based Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (“ J2ME”)TM (of Sun Microsystems, Inc. of Palo Alto, California) Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) user- interface rationale.
- J2ME Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition
- MIDP Mobile Information Device Profile
- the component 410 provides device and network independence and allows for the creation of mobile applications that leverage the unique characteristics of the device and network using various techniques including adaptive transformations.
- the component 410 follows a model- view-controller paradigm for the separation of presentation (the visual, user interface presented to the user 120) and business logic (legacy software programs or rules currently in used in the enterprise; also referred to as back-end logic) by defining the interaction between the interface components and underlying problem-domain integration class(es).
- ADML can support the notion of business integration objects for integration to allow access to existing back-end business logic and data sources via an integration class.
- ADML can be used to express information in terms of presentation information and integration classes.
- the classes can be declared and invoked.
- the definition of the class may reside within code in a different file. In the hardware configuration in FIG. 2, the class definition may reside within code in a file on HD 248 of the application server 240.
- the definition is typically expressed in terms of a computer programming language, such as Java, C" " , or the like, but not in terms of a markup language.
- the ADML file may reside within database 230.
- the document type definition may be found in database 270, and the class definitions and other back-end logic may be found within database 250.
- the files may reside in HD 228, 248, or 268.
- the files can reside on a single data processing system readable medium, such as HD 188 with in FIG. 1.
- the HD 188, 228, 248, 268, and database is 190, 230, 250, and 270 are examples of persistent memory.
- the ability to use only presentation information and classes is beneficial to operators of network sites (private or public (internet)) that communicate to mobile communicating devices that use only specific markup languages.
- Appendix I with ADML, a ⁇ CLASS> tag can be used to declare the class, and a
- ⁇ DYNAMIC> tag can make a call to the class that is defined external to the ADML code file (not part of the ADML file).
- the DTD for ADML defines how the tags are to be interpreted by the application. A portion of the DTD for ADML appears in Appendix II.
- the ⁇ CLASS> and ⁇ DYNAMIC> tags are examples of specialized tags. After reading this specification, skilled artisans can appreciate that other specialized tags may be created to perform substantially the same function.
- the classes are used to perform functions and provide data, usually from a source outside the ADML file, for use with the presentation information.
- the component 410 can be used to provide tags with support for adaptive transformation and provide native support for Java Logic Blocks, which are blocks of Java software programming (computer programming language) code external to the ADML code.
- the component 410 can use message catalogs in support of multilanguage.
- the italicized text represents the business (back-end) logic, which in this case is in the form of an integration class.
- the regular (not italicized) text represents the structure of presentation information.
- the first three italicized lines ( ⁇ CLASS name' ⁇ stBean” ... DummyListBean”/>) declares the class “listBean.”
- the italicized lines near the middle of the code (DYNAMIC_LIST ... "choice”/I>) invokes the class "listBean” and passes information to the class for processing.
- all the code within the ADML file only includes presentation information and classes (declarations and invocations).
- the definition of the class "listBean” is part of code in a different file.
- ADML code generation in ADML should be faster than conventional methods where many lines of Java, C, C* * , or the like are embedded within the markup language code (in other words, no invoking of classes that are inside or outside the markup language code). Also, as little as one ADML file can be used for all mobile communicating device-markup language combinations.
- the device profile component 420 can be responsible for determining attributes of the connecting devices including type of device (cellular phone, pager, etc.), maker (e.g., Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, etc.), model number, or the like.
- the device profile component 420 can generate device profiles 424 via the device profile manager 422, where the device profile 424 can describe attributes of the connecting device.
- the device profiles 424 can be used to supplement the information in the HTTP stream.
- a device profile 424 may contain the device characteristics and capabilities, including screen size, browser version, J2METM information, memory constraints, network characteristics, etc.
- Device profiles 424 may be defined in XML or may adhere to the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C's) Composite Capabilities/Preference Profiles.
- the device profile manager 422 within the device profile component 420 determines whether the appropriate device profile 424 for the corresponding device resides in a device profile cache (not shown) accessible by the device profile manager 422.
- the device profile cache which is a type of temporary memory, helps improve the computing performance related to accessing device information because accessing the device profile 424 from the device knowledge database 426 uses more resources and takes significantly longer than accessing it from the cache.
- Information for the device profiles can be obtained and loaded into the device knowledge database 426 manually.
- the device knowledge database 426 may be updated automatically by connecting server 180 to the site of a device manufacturer and downloading the appropriate device characteristics.
- the operator of the server computer 180 may subscribe to a service that can provide updates to the device knowledge database 426.
- Device profiles for new devices can be downloaded from a floppy diskette, CD ROM, or the like, or may be downloaded over a network, such as the internet. The downloading may be performed on a periodic basis or on an "as-needed" basis (device profile accessed when needed by the mobile presentation engine 450 and not found in the device knowledge database 426).
- the device knowledge database 426 may be part of the database 190 as shown in FIG. 1 or database 470 in FIG. 2.
- the device profile manager 422 can also provide a user interface for the administration of the device knowledge database 426 and the transformation hints for device families.
- Transformation hints can be defined by the device and device family information and describe the typical attributes for that device or device family. Transformation hints can include characteristics that describe families of devices. Supported device families may include "Phone,” “PDA,” “2way-pager,” “Smartphone-Landscape,” or the like. These hints may be part of the device profile 424 and can be used by the mobile presentation engine 450 to dynamically adapt the content targeted for a given device. For example, a four-column table may be adjusted to a two-column table that is twice as long for display on a phone. On a PDA, the same table may keep its original structure because all the four columns can be displayed. Transformation hints can be used in the absence of an explicit ADML overlay.
- the transformation hints are not required, but generally make the presentation of the information more aesthetically pleasing to the user.
- the transformation hints may persist in the device knowledge database 426 and be part of the device profile 424. Alternatively, the hints may persist in the repository 434 of the transformation rule component 430.
- the transformation rule component 430 can be used to select appropriate transformation rule(s) 422 for the markup language used by device 142, 144, 146, or 148.
- Transformation rules 432 can describe the acts used to transform ADML to other markup languages, such as HTML (and its various versions), HDML, WML, and the like. Transformation rule(s) may be based on the W3C's extensible Stylesheet Language ("XSL”) and XSL Transformations specifications.
- XSL extensible Stylesheet Language
- At least one transformation rule 432 may be sent to the mobile presentation engine 450.
- the architecture permits extensibility by allowing developers to add their own transformation rules, if desired. Similar to the device profiles, a subscription service may be used by the operator of the server computer 180 or computers in FIG. 2to keep current on the transformation rules between markup languages, particularly as new markup languages are created. The transformation rules can persist in the repository 434.
- the adaptive transformations can be used in the absence of an explicit ADML overlay.
- the transformation hints and rule can be transparent to web developers, ensuring low maintenance and low cost of development and ownership.
- the appropriate transformation hints and rules are selected and applied based on device characteristics and markup language used by the specific device.
- a user profile component 440 can be used to describe the user information, including preferences, security information, and the like.
- a user profile may be represented in an XML grammar.
- the mobile presentation engine 450 can provide the TAG file or files (hereinafter "TAG file”) 464 to the servlet engine 470.
- TAG file 464 may include Java Server Pages (JSP) that can include embedded Java logic (software programming code) generated using the ADML file 414, integration objects, and target markup language (e.g., WML, HTML, HDML, etc.) to address devices that use the target markup language.
- JSP Java Server Pages
- target markup language e.g., WML, HTML, HDML, etc.
- the mobile presentation engine 450 may determine if a target active grammar ("TAG") corresponds to a TAG file 464 within the TAG cache 462 or if the TAG should be generated. If the TAG file for the user's device 142, 144, 146, or 148 resides in the TAG cache 462, the mobile presentation engine 450 accesses the TAG file 464 from the TAG cache 462 and sends the TAG file 464 to the servlet engine (execution environment or component) 470.
- the TAG cache 462 helps to reduce the number of transformations performed, thus resulting in significantly improved performance of the configuration 400.
- the mobile presentation engine 450 can generate the TAG file 462 from the ADML file 414, the device profile 424, a transformation rule 432, and optionally, a transformation hint and the user profile.
- the mobile presentation engine 450 can retrieve an ADML overlay to use, if any.
- the ADML overlays can be transparent to the developer. Overlays may replace sections (screens) of the generic/default ADML based on device characteristics. For example, a generic ADML file may be used with N different screen presentations that can be sent by the server computer 180, where N is a finite whole number. Overlays may be applied to specific sections of the generic ADML.
- the mobile presentation engine 450 would generate a TAG adapted to the first or third screen presentation.
- the overlays can provide a user interface representation for a given section of the application based on characteristics of the device 142, 144,
- the TAG file 464 can be sent to the servlet engine 470 after generation.
- the servlet engine 470 can function as a JSP execution environment.
- the servlet engine 470 can execute the TAG, invoke business logic using the integration classes (via a ⁇ CLASS> and ⁇ DYNAMIC> tags) for back-end data and access to applications that are external to the ADML code (file).
- the server computer 180 can access back-end logic and resources.
- the user 120 at any one of the devices 142, 144, 146, or 148 may send and the server computer 180 may receive a request for information (block 502 in FIG. 5).
- the mobile presentation engine 450 determines if the information should be in a form using a specific grammar (block 504) for a specific markup language and connecting device.
- the information for the specific grammar can be within an already existing TAG file 464 in the TAG cache 462.
- the method determines whether the grammar resides in memory (block 506).
- the mobile presentation engine 450 can perform this by accessing the TAG cache 462 to determine if it has the appropriate TAG file 464.
- the method proceeds along the "yes" branch from decision diamond 506.
- the TAG file 464 is passed to the servlet engine 470.
- the method can use the grammar to generate the information (block 672 in FIG. 6).
- the servlet engine 470 can use the TAG file 464 in generating a page for the user 120 that can be displayed on a screen of device 142, 144, 146, or 148, depending on the connecting device used.
- the method proceeds along the "no" branch from decision diamond 506 in FIG. 5.
- the method can access presentation information and business logic corresponding to the request as shown in block 512.
- the ADML file including the presentation information and business logic is accessed by the mobile presentation engine 450.
- the method can also determine attribute(s) of the user's device as shown in block 522.
- the attribute(s) of the user's device may come from the HTTP stream that includes the user's request and is received by the server computer 180.
- a device profile 424 corresponding to the user's device can be sent to the mobile presentation engine 450.
- the method continues with accessing transformation rule(s) 432 and hint(s) to transform information from one markup language to a different markup language (block 532) that is compatible with the user's device.
- the transformation hint(s) may be part of the device profile 424.
- the transformation rule(s) 432 may be retrieved from repository 434.
- the transformation rule(s) 432 and optional transformation hint(s) are received by the mobile presentation engine 450.
- the method can access user profile information as shown in block 642 in FIG. 6.
- the user profile can be sent from the user profile component 440 and can be received by the mobile presentation engine 450.
- the method can then generate the grammar consistent with the presentation information, the business logic, attribute(s) of the user's device, and transformation rule(s)/hint(s) as shown in block 654.
- the mobile presentation engine 450 can use the ADML file 414 (having presentation information and business logic), the device profile 424 that corresponds to the attribute(s) of the user's device, and transformation rule(s) 432 and optional transformation hint(s) and use profile to generate the TAG file 464. Because the TAG file 464 may be used by the same user or a subsequent user with the same type of connecting device, the TAG file 464 can be stored in the TAG cache 462. Therefore, the method performs an optional act of storing the grammar in the grammar cache as shown in block 662.
- the method can use the grammar to generate the information as shown in block 672.
- the activity recited in block 672 was previously described with respect to the "yes" branch coming from decision diamond 506 in FIG. 5.
- a first user 120 may be using a cellular phone 148 to send a first request for information to the server computer 180.
- the TAG file 464 will be generated because the cache is empty.
- the TAG file 464 is stored in the TAG cache 462.
- a second user (not shown) sends and the server computer 180 receives a second request for the same information.
- the second user and the first user are using the same type of connecting device.
- the first and second users have cellular phones that are made by the same company and have the same model number.
- the method can determine that the TAG that was generated for the first user's device can be used for the second user's device.
- the TAG file 464 needed for the second user lies within the TAG cache 462. Therefore, the TAG file 464 can be used for the second device and is accessed from the TAG cache 462. The TAG file 464 is not regenerated.
- the use of the TAG cache 462 saves valuable computer resources and allows faster generation of the page to be sent to the second user.
- the method can further include sending the information using TAG file 464 to the second user.
- a third user (not shown) sends and the server computer 180 receives a third request for the same information as requested by the first and second users. Unlike the first and second users, the third user may be using a pager, such as pager 146 shown in FIG. 1.
- the TAG file for the cellular phone 148 may not work very well for the pager 146.
- the TAG cache 462 may not have a TAG file corresponding to the pager 146. Therefore, a TAG file can be generated using acts 512, 522, 532, 642, 654 as previously described.
- the TAG file can be saved to the TAG cache 462 for another user that may be connecting using a pager similar to pager 146.
- the servlet engine 470 can generate the information that is sent to pager 146.
- the mobile presentation system has many advantages over conventional systems, some of which have already been described.
- the JSP technology offers a Java-based way to create dynamic Web or other network applications that are both platform-independent and server-independent. JSP technology can allow for the complete separation of presentation and business logic, but can still invoke the integration class(es) to provide an integration with back-end business logic and data. Although much of the discussion herein has involved JSP, Active Server Pages (ASP) may be used in an alternative embodiment.
- ASP Active Server Pages
- the mobile presentation system can be used to provide information to a user in a more user- friendly manner. Conventionally, information may be provided in a static form, that is, each set of information is chosen with a specific language and presentation device in mind.
- the mobile presentation system can use the same information but adapt it for a specific markup language and device dynamically. This may allow web developers to generate more web pages on their own without the need to have a Java programmer modifier his or her code for the different languages and devices. This can reduce the cost of ownership of a website or other network site, particularly those tailored for mobile devices.
- the ADML file can achieve this because it describes the information by defining presentation information and business logic.
- the mobile presentation system is flexible. As new markup languages and devices are used, the corresponding device profiles 424, transformation hint(s) and transformation rule(s) 432 can be added to the device knowledge database 426 and repository 434.
- Thin- client generally refers to a device that has no significant way to transform data received from server 180 to a more readable format. Because most of the transformation can be performed on the server side, thin clients may not be neglected with respect to receiving information tailored more closely to the specific characteristics of their devices.
