Filed:

Feb 25, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/067122

Inventors:

Marcus Ash - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 13/38

US Classification:

710062000

Abstract:

A computing device receives source content and output characteristics associated with a target output device. The computing device formats the source content into multiple versions of context-aware content corresponding to specific output characteristics of the target output device. The computing device stores the multiple versions of the context-aware content in corresponding output characteristic content containers. The content containers are filtered such that only the versions of the context-aware content that correspond to the output capabilities of the target output device are made accessible to the user. The user is presented with a single namespace that is associated with the context-aware versions of the content. When the namespace is selected, the appropriate version of the context-aware content is executed based on the output characteristics of the target output device such that an optimal user experience is achieved.
