US Classification:

715240, 715234, 715241

Abstract:

Tools and techniques for creating presentations via dynamic digital content (DDC) tools using a display dependent markup language interface facilitating dynamic content are described. The markup language, “DXyml”, identifies content elements, including dynamic content elements, for display and specifies pixel locations at which to position the content elements on a client device. Pixel locations are selected for particular screen configurations, allowing the presentations to be created in advance of being served to specific types of devices with the particular screen configurations.

International Classification:

G06F007/00

US Classification:

707/002000

Abstract:

A method includes providing a field replaceable unit having a memory device. A first data element including dynamic information associated with the service life of the field replaceable unit is generated. A first tag is generated for the first data element. The first tag is prepended to the first data element to generate a first tagged data element. The first tagged data element is stored in the memory device. A computing system includes a field replaceable unit having a memory device configured to store a first tagged data element, the first tagged data element including a first data element including dynamic information associated with the service life of the field replaceable unit and a first tag associated with the first data element.
