Generating and delivering a wrap package of cards including custom content and/or services in response to a triggered event

摘要

Delivery of a wrap package in reply to a notice of the occurrence of a trigger event sensed by a “Thing” among the Internet of Things. In response, a wrap package, including custom content presented within cards of the wrap is automatically generated. The custom content selectively encompasses, one or more media types, application functionality and/or e-commerce related services. A wrap descriptor, which defines the wrap package including the custom content, is then delivered to a computing device associated with a target recipient. When consumed, the computing device generates a runtime instance of the wrap package from the wrap descriptor.

1. A method performed at a node on a network, comprising:
receiving a notice indicating that a trigger event as determined by a Thing among the Internet of Things (“IoT”) has occurred, the trigger event defined as an occurrence or condition that the Thing is configured to monitor or sense; automatically generating custom content pertinent to the event in response to the notice indicating that the trigger event as determined by the Thing has occurred; automatically generating a wrap descriptor for a wrap package, the wrap package including a plurality of cards arranged to be browsed in one or more directions, each card having: (1) a fixed aspect ratio; and (2) an immutable position of content within an immutable card layout, wherein at least one of the cards of the wrap package includes the custom content pertinent to the event that was automatically generated in response to the notice indicating that the trigger event has occurred; the wrap descriptor including a plurality of card descriptors, each card descriptor arranged to define: (3) a card component container defining the fixed aspect ratio for the associated card; and (4) one or more component descriptor(s) each defining a component container arranged to contain or associate a component with the associated card, each of the component container(s) having a fixed position within the associated card component container so that the immutable position of the component within the immutable card layout is maintained; ascertaining a target recipient for the wrap package; and automatically delivering the wrap descriptor to a computing device associated with the target recipient, the wrap descriptor arranged for the computing device to generate a runtime instance of the wrap package on a display associated with the computing device from the wrap descriptor, the runtime instance of the wrap package including: (a) the plurality of cards arranged to be browsed on the display in the one or more directions; and (b) the custom content pertinent to the event.
