Abstract

A container application is a native application that allows a web based application to access a computer's system resources and windowing system. Web based applications are downloaded from application servers and run inside container applications. If a container application is associated with a window, then the web based application can alter or control many, or all, aspects of the container application's content area and meta user interfaces (UIs). A container startup module stored in a non-volatile memory can launch container application instances that automatically download and run web based applications. As such, an entire web based user environment can be easily launched.
