Abstract
Various embodiments enable local web applications to communicate asynchronously with web based services and applications based on a local device's current state and a user's communications preferences. In at least some embodiments, a synchronization engine receives a message in a “Web Inbox” from a web based service or application. In at least some embodiments, the synchronization engine notifies a local web application of the message, sends the message to the web application, and/or loads the web application if it is not in session. The web application's response to the message may be transferred to a “Web Outbox” where it resides until being sent to the web service. The synchronization engine then determines a time to transmit the response to the web service by querying the local device for its current state and a user's communication preferences.
