A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING ELECTRONIC FORMS FOR USE WITH RESOURCE CONSTRAINED DEVICES

摘要

A wireless telephone, personal digital assistant (PDA), smart remote control, or other Internet-enabled processing device includes a scalable electronic forms processing engine which supports a designated subset of the W3C recommended XForms standard. The designated subset may be selected for a given device based on the computational and memory capabilities of the device. Advantageously, the invention allows "thin" devices to process electronic forms without requiring implementation of the complete W3C recommended XForms standard.
