Data output method and system

A system for outputting data to be displayed on a terminal having terminal-specific display limitations, the system including:

• a terminal identification unit;
• a controller, the controller including:
• a converter for converting the data to be displayed that are available in a terminal-independent data format into a terminal-dependent data format;
• and
• a post processor connected in series with the converter for adapting the converted data to a data format specific to requirements of the terminal;
• wherein the system parameters of the terminal are identified by querying an equipment identification code for the terminal;
• wherein the data to be displayed in a terminal-independent data format are maintained;
• wherein the data are converted from the terminal-independent data format into a terminal-dependent data format by selecting a predefined transformation protocol based on the identified system parameters of the terminal;
• wherein the data in the terminal-dependent data format are transformed using the selected transformation protocol,
• wherein the transformed data in the terminal-dependent data format are adapted based on equipment-specific characteristics of the terminal, wherein the equipment-specific characteristics of the terminal are determined by the system parameters of the terminal;
• and
• wherein the transfomed and adapted data in a terminal-dependent data format are transmitted to the terminal.
