US Patent 8478245, titled "Method and system for rendering content on a wireless device," was filed on August 1, 2007, and issued on July 2, 2013. The original assignee was Phunware Inc, with the current assignee listed as Gotv Streaming LLC. The inventors are Pierre Carion and Kevin Smith.

Abstract:
The patent describes a method for rendering content on a wireless device. The wireless device initiates communication by sending a message to a server, requesting an application and identifying its rendering capabilities. The server responds by providing an identification of a custom configuration for the device's rendering blocks, which then configures these blocks. Subsequently, the wireless device receives compiled content from the application executing on the server. This content includes rendering commands that use a device-generic syntax but incorporate parameters specific to the wireless device's rendering capabilities. An engine/reader on the wireless device processes this compiled content and issues commands to the individual rendering blocks of a graphical user interface, utilizing both the rendering commands and the custom configuration to display the application content.
