Abstract
A system for displaying a web page in which a server 1 stores content data 101 and definition data 102 of a web page. A first device 3 transmits availability data. A second device 5 sends a request to the server 1 and receives in response the web page data. The server 1, in response to the receipt of the availability data from the first device 3, determines the update data for the web page. The update data include data to link the first device 3 and the second device 5. The server 1 sends the update data to the second device 5 to adapt the content of the web page independently of any request to refresh the definition data 102 associated with the web page displayed by the second device 5.

Web page display system comprising:
- a server (1) storing content data (101) and definition data (102) of a web page (7),
- at least one first device (3) comprising communication means (31) suitable for communicating with the server (1), the first device (3) being arranged to send availability data (301, 303, 305, 307) to the server (1),
- at least one second device (5) comprising communication means (51) suitable for communicating with the server (1), the second device (5) being arranged to send a request (501) to the server (1) and to receive in response web page data (103) derived from the content data (101) and the definition data (102) of the web page (7),
- characterised in that
- the server (1) is also arranged, in response to receiving the availability data (301, 303, 305, 307) from the first device (3), to determine update data (105) from the availability data (301, 303, 305, 307) received from the first device (3), said update data (105) comprising data to link the first device (3) and the second device (5), the server (1) being arranged to send the update data (105) to the second device (5) to adapt the contents of the page (7) derived from the content data (101) and displayed by the second device (5), independently of any request to refresh the definition data (102) associated with the web page (7) displayed by the second device (5).
Method for displaying a web page involving a server (1) storing content data (101) and definition data (102) for a web page (7), at least one first device (3) comprising communication means (31) suitable for communicating with the server (1), and at least one second device (5) comprising communication means (51) suitable for communicating with the server (1), said method comprising the following steps:
- a. Sending from the second device (5) a request (501) to the server (1),
- b. Receiving in response web page data (103) derived from content data (101) and definition data (102) defining the web page (7),
- c. Sending from the first device (3) to the server (1) availability data (301) for the first device (3),
- the method being characterised in that it also comprises the following steps:
- d. Determining update data (105) from the availability data (301) received from the first device (3), said update data (105) comprising data to link the first device (3) and the second device (5),
- e. Sending from the server (1) to the second device (5) the update data (105),
- f. Adapting the content of the web page (7) derived from the content data (101) and displayed by the second device (5), independently of any request to refresh the definition data (102) associated with the web page (7) displayed by the second device (5).
