Apparatus and method for managing user interface

An apparatus for displaying a user interface comprising:

• a remote client including a computer processor, comprising:
• a server retrieval unit that searches a storage server storing a state of a user interface in relation to a provided application;
• a state management request unit that generates a packet for a store command and a packet for an extract command in relation to the state of the user interface according to the searching result;
• wherein the store command and the extract command are according to an input of the remote client,
• a communication unit that transmits the state of the user interface, the packet for the store command, or the packet for an extract command through communication with the storage server using HTML;
• and
• an application viewer that displays a predetermined user interface received in response to the transmission of the packet for the extract command;
• wherein the server retrieval unit analyzes a notification packet received through the communications unit and determines whether at least one of remote server or the storage server exists on the network,
• wherein the state of the user interface comprises a state of the remote client and at least one of a state of a remote server providing the application,
• wherein the state of the remote client comprises at least one of a plurality of cookies of the web browser, a form input, and an audio/video object.

A method of managing a user interface comprising:

• generating a notification packet indicating that a storage server exists on a network;
• managing a store command of a state of a user interface of a predetermined application transmitted through the network and an extract command received as a result of distributing the notification packet;
• wherein the store command and the extract command are according to an input of a remote client,
• storing the state of the user interface according to the store command;
• and
• transmitting the state of a predetermined user interface extracted according to the extract command from the stored state of the user interface through communication with the remote client using HTML,
• wherein the state of the user interface comprises a state of the remote client and at least one of a state of a remote server providing the application,
• wherein the state of the remote client comprises at least one of a plurality of cookies of the web browser, a form input, and an audio/video object.

A method of displaying a user interface comprising:

• searching a storage server storing a state of a user interface in relation to a provided application;
• generating a packet for a store command and a packet for an extract command in relation to the state of the user interface according to the result of the searching;
• wherein the store command and the extract command are according to an input of a remote client,
• transmitting the state of the user interface, the packet for the store command, or the packet for an extract command through communication with the storage server using HTML;
• and
• displaying a predetermined user interface received in response to the transmission of the packet for the extract command;
• wherein the searching of said server comprises the steps of analyzing a notification packet received through transmitting the state of the user interface or packet and determining whether at least one of a remote server or the storage server exists on the network, wherein the state of the user interface comprises a state of the remote client and at least one of a state of a server providing the application,
• wherein the state of the remote client comprises at least one of a plurality of cookies of the web browser, a form input, and an audio/video object.
