Method and system for dynamic hierarchical data display
First Claim
1. A method of processing data to be viewed on a portable computing device, the method comprising:
- processing a source data set to produce a first relational database data;
processing the first relational database data to produce a second relational database data;
further processing the second relational database data to build a portable database data adapted to be rendered by the portable computing device;
rendering and viewing the portable database data on the portable computing device.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for viewing hierarchical data on a portable computing device. The method and system provides for processing, organizing, and viewing hierarchically arranged data on a portable computing device display in a variety of embodiments. The system includes a central relational database for storing the source data, a data processing unit for converting the source data, and a text viewing software for multiple viewing platforms, including that of a personal digital assistant (PDA). The method disclosed provides for the processing of the source data, such as a medical text, into a relational database, and further processing of the database into platform-specific portable database files for viewing on a PDA. The data is arranged into a hierarchical data structure for dynamic viewing on a PDA display.
