  • Method for reducing message translation and traffic through intermediate applications and systems in an internet application
    Patent number: 6067579
    Abstract: A mapping between terminal presentation and a Graphical User Interface to an end user using a web browser is provided. The mapping representation is created to support a selected screen image sent from the application to the web browser. A generic interpretative applet and the screen mapping representation is forwarded to a web server and in turn is downloaded to a web browser using a well known protocol. The applet generates and processes messages in an acceptable presentation, e.g. IBM 3270 format, and exchanges those messages directly with a receiving application across a computer network, thereby reducing or eliminating message translation and traffic through intermediate applications and systems.
