Abstract

Abstract A method and a medium for rendering documents to a browser (110a-110d) from a server (120) are provided. According to the rendering method, the browser (110a-110d) requests a predetermined document and at the same time transmits user's computing environmental information to the server (120). The server (120) evaluates the computing environmental information received from the browser (110a-110d). The server (120) converts the requested document based on the evaluated user's computing environmental information. The server (120) transmits the converted document to the browser (110a-110d). The server (120) renders the documents to the browser in an appropriate manner by including only the information accessible in compliance to the user's computing environmental information, or converting it into the document accessible by the user. Thus, the data volume to be processed by the browser (110a-110d) as well as the network traffic are reduced, and thus the document transfer rate is enhanced. In addition, the user having a limited computing environment can sufficiently utilize the documents.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
A method for rendering a document to a browser (110a-110d) by a server (120) on a computer network, the method comprising the steps of: at said browser (110a-110d), making a request for a predetermined document to said server (120) and at the same time transmitting information about a user's computing environment to said server (120); at said server (120), evaluating the computing environmental information received from said browser 110a-110d); at said server (120), converting the requested document according to the evaluated user's computing environmental information; and at said server (120), transmitting said converted document to said browser (110a-110d).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said computing environmental information is included in a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) header.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
The method of claim 1 or 2, further comprising the step of agreeing as to how to receive and transmit the user's computing environmental information between said browser (110a-110d) and said server (120).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 76 words
The method of claim 3, further comprising the steps of: at said server (120), making request for the user's computing environmental information to a browser (110a-110d) , if a document request is sent from the browser (110a-110d) which has not agreed with said server (120) as to how to receive and transmit the users' computing environmental information; and at said browser (110a-110d), transmitting the user's computing environmental information to said server (120) based on the request.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 58 words
The method of claim 4, wherein said requesting step for requesting the user's computing environmental information comprises the steps of: transmitting a FORM embedded page to said browser (110a-110d) for requesting a user to fill in the FORM embedded page; displaying the FORM embedded page on a display; and transmitting user's computing environmental information to said server (120).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 110 words
A computer readable medium for rendering a document to a browser (110a-110d) by a server (120) on a computer network, the computer readable medium comprising: program code means for requesting a predetermined document from said server (120) and at the same time transmitting user's computing environmental information to said server (120), at said browser (110a-110d); program code means for evaluating the computing environmental information received from said browser (110a-110d), at said server (120); program code means for converting said requested document according to the evaluated user's computing environmental information, at said server (120); and program code means for transmitting said converted document to said browser (110a-110d), at said server (120).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 21 words
The computer readable medium of claim 6, wherein said computing environmental information is included in a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) header.
