DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS DETECTION AND EMULATION

摘要

A system and method for facilitating characterizing a computing device or representation thereof. An example method includes obtaining information associated with a computing device that will be rendering a user interface display screen; providing a user option to adjust the information; and displaying the user interface display screen in accordance with adjusted information. In a more specific embodiment, the method further includes selectively transferring the adjusted information from a client device to a server. A browser of the client device may display a form factor drop down menu that facilitates user specification of a form factor of a computing device. The user specification facilitates displaying an emulation of the computing device or otherwise facilitates adjusting a user interface display screen to be rendered.
