US 9471287

US patent 9471287, titled "Systems and methods for integrating widgets on mobile devices," was invented by Steven H. Rempell, David Chrobak, and Ken Brown. The current and original assignee is EXPRESS MOBILE Inc. The patent was filed on May 8, 2015, and issued on October 18, 2016.

The abstract describes a system and method for generating code to display content on a mobile device platform. The system includes a database of web services and an authoring tool. The authoring tool allows a user to define an object for display, select a component of a web service from the database, associate the object with the selected component, and produce code that, when executed on the platform, presents the selected component on the display. The method also involves accepting a platform-dependent first code and providing a platform-independent second code, both of which are executed on the platform to deliver web components.
