Abstract
Abstract A mapping-type data signal optimizer performs a DEVICE-SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTE ELIMINATION routine. If field attributes in an outgoing signal do not affect the appearance of a data display on, or the operational characteristics of, a peripheral device receiving the outgoing signal (e.g., field attributes are essentially meaningless on printers), then the outgoing signal is reformed so as not to include those attributes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A computer device comprising program instruction statements which, when executed by a programmable machine, result n the performance of the following steps: intercepting an outgoing signal directed to a peripheral device, said outgoing signal including zero or more display attributes; checking a table to determine whether said peripheral device supports said display attributes; and if said peripheral device does not support display attributes, constructing a new outgoing signal with no said display attributes and directing said new outgoing signal to said peripherals device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A computer device comprising program instruction statements which, when executed by a programmable machine, result n the performance of the following steps: intercepting an outgoing signal directed to a peripheral device, said outgoing signal including zero or more display attributes; checking a table to determine whether said peripheral device supports said display attributes; and if said peripheral device does not support display attributes, constructing a new outgoing signal with no said display attributes and directing said new outgoing signal to said peripherals device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A program storage device readable by a programmable machine and tangibly embodying a program of instructions adaptable to cause the machine to perform the method steps of claim 1.
