Abstract

An apparatus and method for dynamically displaying data in a browser of a client computer. In one aspect, the invention is a method comprising: displaying a web page comprising a primary frame having dynamic fields in said browser, wherein said web page is created by programming language containing specialized tags containing instructional elements adapted to facilitate rendering of visual data in said dynamic fields; searching said programming language of said web page for said specialized tags and creating a companion file, said companion file comprising scripting information based upon said instructional elements and updated real world data stored in a memory source; downloading said companion file; and executing said scripting information contained within said companion file causing said rendering of visual data in said dynamic fields to correspond to said updated real world data.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A method of dynamically displaying data in a browser of a client computer comprising:

periodically collecting data representing real world conditions via data collection means;
storing said real world data in a memory source, wherein said stored real world data is periodically updated to represent current real world conditions;
creating a web page file with programming language containing specialized tags containing instructional elements adapted to facilitate rendering of visual data in dynamic fields;
storing said web page file on a host computer;
transmitting said web page file to said client computer, wherein a copy of said web page file is stored in a client-side memory;
displaying said copy of said web page file in the form of a visual web page in said browser, said visual web page comprising a primary frame comprising said dynamic fields;
searching said programming language of said web page file on said host computer for said specialized tags and creating a companion file, said companion file comprising scripting information based upon said instructional elements and said updated real world data stored in said memory source;
downloading said companion file to said client computer;
and
executing said scripting information contained within said companion file causing said rendering of visual data in said dynamic fields to correspond to said updated real world data.
