Embodiment Construction

[0076] A.1. Client-Server Architecture

[0077] The system described in connection with FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B provides a plurality of ever expanding information services to a user of client device 108. In an example application, a user requests stock prices from server 114, using client device 108. In response, server 114 transmits the requested stock prices to client device 108. Client device 108 then displays the stock prices to the user on display 210.

[0078] A logical architecture 300 of an embodiment of the present invention is depicted in FIG. 3. Logical architecture 300 corresponds to the system of FIGS. 1A and 1B. Logical architecture 300 includes a client application 304 residing in client device 108, and a server application 306 residing in server 114. Client application 304 (also referred to as client 304) and server application 306 are, for example, computer programs respectively supported by computer controllers and memories of client device 108 and server 114.

Abstract

A system, method and apparatus for utilizing transaction databases in a client-server environment. The transaction databases can be used to receive and retain multiple server responses to consecutive client requests regardless of the temporal relationship between the multiple responses and consecutive requests. One method of the invention relates to how a client device displays information. This method is for use in a client-server system including one or more servers and a client device having a client transaction database, a client template database, and a user interface adapted to enable a user to enter requests. The method includes the steps of receiving a user request from the user via the user interface and retrieving a template from the client template database based on the user request. The template includes one or more data fields. The method also includes the step of retrieving information from the client transaction database based on the template, wherein the information relates to the one or more data fields of the template. A page is then displayed based on the template and the information relating to the one or more data fields.
