To identify the most relevant prior art for US Patent 9928044, I need to consult the patent's own cited references. The USPTO's Patent Public Search tool is the authoritative source for this information.

Anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102:
Under 35 U.S.C. § 102, a claim is anticipated (and thus not novel and unpatentable) if every element of the claim, as broadly interpreted, is disclosed, either explicitly or inherently, in a single prior art reference. This means the prior art reference must contain all the limitations of the claim, arranged or combined in the same way as recited in the claim.

I will now proceed to search the USPTO database for US patent 9928044 and extract its cited prior art. Due to the limitations of this environment, I cannot directly perform a real-time search within the USPTO's Patent Public Search tool. However, I can analyze the information provided in the prompt, specifically the "Prior art keywords" and the general context of the patent, to anticipate the types of prior art that would be most relevant to claims 1, 13, and 14.

Based on the patent's abstract and independent claims, the key inventive concepts are:

  • A system/method for generating and distributing programming to mobile devices.
  • The use of device-specific "Players" and device-independent "Applications."
  • A WYSIWYG authoring environment.
  • The ability to bind web components to objects within the authoring environment to produce code that displays the web components on a mobile device.

Therefore, the most relevant prior art would likely involve:

  • Systems or methods for developing software for mobile devices.
  • Approaches to address device fragmentation (e.g., using platform-specific and platform-independent code).
  • Graphical user interface (GUI) or WYSIWYG development tools for software.
  • Mechanisms for integrating web services or web components into applications, especially mobile applications.
  • Concepts of "thin client" architectures or runtime environments on mobile devices.

To accurately fulfill the request, direct access to the "References Cited" section of US9928044 from the USPTO is essential. Without this, I cannot provide the specific prior art citations and their detailed descriptions as requested.

Therefore, I cannot identify the most relevant prior art with full citations, publication/filing dates, brief descriptions, and specific claim anticipations without direct access to the cited references within the USPTO database for patent 9928044.

To complete this task, I would need to perform the following steps:

  1. Access the USPTO Patent Public Search tool or a similar patent database.
  2. Search for US Patent 9928044.
  3. Locate and list all cited prior art references (both U.S. and foreign patents/publications).
  4. For each cited reference, retrieve its full citation, publication/filing date, and abstract/description.
  5. Analyze each reference against independent claims 1, 13, and 14 of US9928044 to determine which elements of the claims are disclosed in the single prior art reference. This would involve a detailed comparison of the claim language with the disclosure of each prior art document.
