Abstract
A system for dynamically transcoding data transmitted between computers is implemented in an apparatus for use in transmitting data between a network server and a network client over a communications link. The apparatus includes a parser coupled to a transcode service provider. The parser is configured to selectively invoke the transcode service provider in response to a predetermined selection criterion.
Claims4
A method for providing a network client with a data object residing on a network server, said method comprising:
- receiving a request for a data object from the network client;
- retrieving the requested data object from the network server;
- determining whether the data object includes content created with an unauthorized software product, said determination comprising scanning the data object for a predetermined code associated with an authorized software product;
- selectively transcoding the data object according to a predetermined selection criterion in response to said determination;
- and
- providing the transcoded data object to the network client.
A method for providing a network client with a data object residing on a network server, said method comprising:
- receiving a request for a data object from the network client;
- retrieving the requested data object from the network server;
- determining whether the data object includes textual content meeting a predetermined selection criterion, said determination comprising scanning the data object for text written in a specified language;
- selectively transcoding the data object in response to said determination;
- and
- providing the transcoded data object to the network client.
