ABSTRACT

A system allowing a user of a browser program on a computer connected to an open distributed hypermedia system to
access and execute an embedded program object. The program object is embedded into a hypermedia document much
like data objects. The user may select the program object
from the screen. Once selected the program object executes
on the user's (client) computer or may execute on a remote
server or additional remote computers in a distributed processing arrangement. After launching the program object,
the user is able to interact with the object as the invention
provides for ongiong interprocess communication between
the application object (program) and the browser program.
One application of the embedded program object allows a
user to view large and complex multi-dimensional objects
from within the browser's window. The user can manipulate
a control panel to change the viewpoint used to view the
image. The invention allows a program to execute on a
remote server or other computers to calculate the viewing
transformations and send frame data to the client computer
thus providing the user of the client computer with interactive features and allowing the user to have access to greater
computing power than may be available at the user's client
computer.
