Data processing device with server-generated graphic user interface
First Claim
1. A data processing device comprising at least one microprocessor, a display screen for displaying data, and memory means in which is stored a browser program executable by the at least one microprocessor to request data in a known data format from a server program, to interpret and render the data and generate therefrom signals suitable for display in the display screen;
- characterised in that a graphic user interface (GUI) is stored in the memory means in the known data format, together with a local server program, which is executable by the at least one microprocessor to transmit data, which data includes the GUI, in the known data format from the memory means to the browser program in response to requests from the browser program.

42. A method of generating a GUI for display in a display screen of a data processing device having browser and server means, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing data comprising the GUI in a memory in a known data format;
transmitting the data to the server means;
transmitting the data in the known data format to the browser means in response to a request from the browser means; and
interpreting and rendering the data and generating signals suitable for display in the display screen using the browser means. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44)
