CACHE METHOD

摘要

A method of transmitting update-display data (1) from a thin server device to a thin client device, the method comprising the steps of: generating a (short) key representing new update-display data (1) to be transmitted; comparing a newly generated key to a key or keys previously generated; compiling a message to be transmitted to the client device; the message comprising a header and code words representing the update-display data, wherein the header is set in dependence upon the result of the comparison step to identify to the client whether the update-display data is already cached, to be cached or not to be cached. Preferably DCT coding is used. A thin client server system using this method is faster and more efficient.
