Dynamic display using pushed-streamed data
View Patent ↗A system and method for dynamic updating of display windows using a pushed stream of data.
1. A method in a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) system comprising:
establishing, by a streaming IFrame definition, a streaming HTTP connection between a client browser and a proxy server in response to data request from the client browser to one or more web servers connected to the proxy server;
scanning HTML of an IFrame application for one or more data update markers of HTML elements requiring real-time updates;
receiving continually at the client browser, over the streaming HTTP connection, the requested data included in a pushed streamed set of HTTP responses with a response size of the requested data set to a non-specified value from the proxy server;
wherein the streaming IFrame examines the pushed stream set of HTTP responses for data updates and modifies the HTML elements with latest data updates via DHTML; and
dynamically updating at the client browser the requested data corresponding to the one or more update markers for display in real-time without user refresh until the client browser is disconnected from the one or more web servers.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein one of the one or more web server is a World Wide Web server.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
registering the requested data with a JavaScript function call.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the requested data is financial data.
5. A system comprising:
a client processor operatively configured for:
establishing, by a streaming IFrame definition, a streaming HTTP connection between a client browser and a proxy server in response to data request from the client browser to one or more web server connected to the proxy server;
scanning HTML of an IFrame application for one or more data update markers of HTML elements requiring real-time updates; and
receiving continually at the client browser, over the streaming HTTP connection, the requested data included in a pushed streamed set of HTTP responses with a response size of the requested data set to a non-specified value from the proxy server;
wherein the streaming IFrame examines the pushed stream set of HTTP responses for data updates and modifies the HTML elements with the latest data updates via DHTML; and
a client display operatively configured for dynamically updating the requested data corresponding to the update markers received by the client browser and displaying in real-time the requested data without user refresh until the client browser is disconnected from the one or more web server.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein one of the one or more web server is a World Wide Web server.
7. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of:
registering the requested data with a JavaScript function call.
8. The system of claim 5 wherein requested data is financial data.
