Abstract

A platform-agnostic thick client system for remotely combining dynamic data with a continuous quantum queue includes a first corpus of data on a server, a dynamic content transmitter to generate and transmit to the remote device a packet set that combines the second corpus with a client redirection link that causes a display window to load a second packet set and a client-side module that configures the remote device to receive the dynamic packet set at the remote device and generate a static display including a first content viewing portion displaying the dynamic packet set, with the client-redirection link modified to load in a third content display portion. System may include a continuous queue transmitter to transmit quanta to a remote device, and client-side module may configure remote device to receive quanta, and static display may include a second content viewing portion that continuously displays quanta.

7. The system of claim 5 further comprising a second client redirection link in the first dynamic packet set, wherein selection of the second client redirection link directs the client program at the remote device to:

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the client-side module further configures the remote device to:

identify the second client redirection link; and

display a modified second client redirection link in the first content viewing portion, wherein the modified second client redirection link causes the remote device to;

receive a terminal quantum of the quanta transmitted by the first continuous queue transmitter;

continuously receive the quanta transmitted by the second continuous queue transmitter; and

display each received quantum of the quanta transmitted by the second continuous queue transmitter in the third content viewing portion upon receiving the terminal quantum of the quanta transmitted by the first continuous queue transmitter.

10. The system of claim 3, wherein the first continuous queue transmitter operates on the at least a server, and wherein the first continuous queue transmitter is designed and configured to:

continuously remove quanta from a first FIFO queue; and
