AUXILIARY DISPLAY MINI-APPLICATION FOR DISTRIBUTED CONTENT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G06F9/06 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention describes a technology through which a specific mini-application program is installed (e.g. created) in a main computer system which receives data (e.g. RSS-channel) from a distribution source, wherein channel data contain information needed for installing the mini-application. After installation, the mini-application is used to receive content from its corresponding data source and provide content for displaying on an auxiliary display. The channel data may include metadata, such as an attachment associated with the mini-application, from which the installer can record information corresponding to the metadata into a register or similar, and associate the mini-application with one or more specific auxiliary displays. By processing these metadata, another application is installed and then run if needed, so as to process content data from the corresponding data source in order to display the content on the auxiliary display.

EFFECT: broader functionalities owing to the possibility of loading into a computing platform and installing mini-applications.
