Abstract
A data processor controlled display system for displaying documents including natural language text representative of data transmitted in a markup language such as HTML to a display station from a location remote from said station. The HTML tags are tokenized prior to transmission, comments are removed from the HTML file prior to transmission and the file is then subjected to a conventional general text compression. After the HTML file is received at the display station, it is decompressed, detokenized and the resulting HTML file is used to create a document or page on the display.
Claims12
In a data processor controlled display system for displaying documents including natural language text representative of data transmitted to display stations from a location remote from said stations,
- means at said remote location for storing said data in a markup language format including tags identifying the contents of said data,
- means for tokenizing only said tags,
- means for transmitting said data including said tokenized tags to at least one of said display stations,
- means for detokenizing said tokenized tags received at said one display station whereby said received data is restored to said markup language format, and
- means associated with said display station for translating said received data from said markup language format into said displayed natural language text documents.
A computer implemented method for displaying documents including natural language text representative of data transmitted to display stations from a location remote from said stations comprising:
- storing at said remote location said data in a markup language format including tags identifying the contents of said data,
- tokenizing only said tags,
- transmitting said data including said tokenized tags to at least one of said display stations,
- detokenizing said tokenized tags received at said one display station whereby said received data is restored to said markup language format, and
- translating said received data from said markup language format into said displayed natural language text documents.
A computer program having data structures included on a computer readable said program being for transmission and display of documents including natural language text representative of data transmitted to display stations from a location remote from said stations and comprising:
- means at said remote location for storing said data in a markup language format including tags identifying the contents of said data,
- means for tokenizing only said tags,
- means for transmitting said data including said tokenized tags to at least one of said display stations,
- means for detokenizing said tokenized tags received at said one display station whereby said received data is restored to said markup language format, and
- means associated with said display station for translating said received data from said markup language format into said displayed natural language text documents.
