Abstract

A method that enables the use of distributed database and the application utilizing it independently from the terminal or the type of the terminal. The information of the distributed database (303, 305, 403, 405,407) is used in the terminal (301, 401) in a way that the local database (303, 403) is processed with the help of the management unit. (306,406). The query results gained from the local database (303, 403) are transmitted via the management unit (306, 406) to the browser application (302, 402) of the terminal (301, 401). With the help of the terminal'"'"'s (301, 401) browser application (302, 402) the query results are presented to the user.

Claims

1. A method for utilizing information stored in distributed database with a terminal comprising:

utilizing a local database via a management unit;

transmitting query results from said local database through the management unit to a browser application in the terminal; and

presenting query information to the user with the browser application in the terminal.

2. A system for the use of distributed database in a terminal comprising:

a terminal including a browser application;

a local database in the immediate contiguity of the terminal and a management unit in order to process the local database to a appropriate format and to transmit the query results gained from database to the browser application; and

said browser application of the terminal being organized to present the query results gained from the database with the terminal.
