System and method for dynamic imagery link synchronization and simulating rendering and behavior of content across a multi-client platform

Abstract

The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for simulation of web based content. Specifically, the systems and methods described herein are configured to provide simulation of the rendering and behavior of web (e.g., HTML) documents within multiple client, browser and device platforms. Although the principles can be generally used, the invention is particularly aimed towards simulating emails within different email clients and devices. Embodiments of the present invention further generally relate to synchronization of links with dynamic imagery provided to a remote computing device. Specifically, these embodiments of the invention relate to a web-based system and method for synchronizing URLs and other hyperlinks to dynamic imagery provided to a remote computing device by a server or other content providing device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for simulation of web based content. Specifically, the systems and methods described herein are configured to provide simulation of the rendering and behavior of web (e.g., HTML) documents within multiple client, browser and device platforms.

Embodiments of the present invention further generally relate to synchronization of links with dynamic imagery provided to a remote computing device. Specifically, these embodiments of the invention relate to a web-based system and method for synchronizing URLs and other hyperlinks to dynamic imagery provided to a remote computing device by a server or other content providing device.CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0002]This present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Applicat...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing a system and method that will allow the simulation of email content being rendered in different clients so that a designer is able to quickly see how the email renders in multiple different email clients and devices.

Problems solved by technology

With the popularity of mobile devices, the problem has been compounded as a web developer now has to test code on multiple devices in addition to the desktop.

The problem is even more acute in the space of email design.

The screen capture process is tedious and time consuming since the designer needs to send an email to the various email clients and services and having a screenshot taken.
