An Internet-based operating system whereby use of data and application software stored on a server may be selectively downloaded to a client device upon request therefrom allowing server-based applications to be accessed and executed on the client device. Because secure communication may readily be established between the server and the client device, many traditional problems of remote data access are overcome. Application software, typically Java code, provides an inherently virus-proof programming language. The end user, operating a client device may access a wide variety of application software with no need to purchase, install, and maintain the software on his machine. Using an easy-to-use GUI, a user selects an application, opens existing or creates new files. The application executable code is identified by a link embedded in a stream of markup language, typically XML. The operating system allows complex applications to be executed on thin clients having limited memory/storage capacity.

An interactive process navigation window is a hybrid of a file-based paradigm and a task-based paradigm. The window contains multiple panes, in which at least one pane (object pane) lists objects, while another pane lists tasks which are applicable to a selected object in the object pane, and which serves as a launchpad for various application software. A root object pane is placed in the upper left portion of the window, displaying groupings and sub-groupings of objects. A content object pane is placed in the upper right portion, the content pane displaying the contents of a group selected from the root pane. A task pane occupies the bottom of the window, the task pane displaying tasks applicable to the group selected from the root pane. In one embodiment, the task pane is divided into two parts, one of which displays tasks related to a selected group from the root pane, as described above, while the other displays a user-configurable list of frequently performed tasks, which does not vary with the contents of the object pane(s). The navigation window described herein provides diverse users with an interface which is both task-oriented and object-oriented, making it easy to switch from one paradigm to the other, depending on user preference, the type of task to be performed, or other appropriate factors.

A method of integrating host application software with data collection devices (e.g., bar code scanners) located on remote, wireless terminals. A data collection object executes on the host computer, using a predetermined interface between the host application software and the data collection object. That interface, and the communications between the host application software and the data collection object, are configured so that to the host application software the data collection device appears to be local hardware on the host computer. The data collection object creates and executes threads of execution for controlling operation of the data collection device, with the threads communicating with the remote terminals via a host computer transport layer, the wireless link, and a remote computer transport layer at the remote terminals. A data collection device driver on the remote terminal receives communications from the data collection object, and returns information to the data collection object, over the remote computer transport layer, wireless link, and host computer transport layer.

A system for dynamically integrating changes in rules governing business operations into a rule-implementing application program includes a dynamic business logic rule integrator (“DBLRI”) that provides rules to the application software as executable routines. The DBLRI presents to a user one or more GUIs through which the user writes functional-language expressions for the rules. The GUIs provide menus of associated functions, operators and parameters that are available for use. The set of parameters associated with a given GUI is dynamically updated, to correspond to changes in the underlying business logic rules. The user writes and/or edits the expressions by selectively combining the available functions, operators and parameters. The DBLRI evaluates the functional expressions and produces associated executable parse trees or DLLs, which the application software then calls at appropriate times. The DBLRI operates also with a dynamically configurable database that provides parameters required for the rules as the rules are updated, added and/or revised.
