System and method for providing character interactive input/output
First Claim
1. Method for establishing an interactive event dialog with a client, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a half duplex block mode architecture connection with said client;
issuing a query command to said client to discover client capabilities; and
receiving from said client a response selectively including capability indicia identifying said client as capable of interactive event processing.

Abstract
A system and method for conducting an interactive event dialog on a half duplex block mode connection between a first server and a client and optionally on a full duplex mode connection between a client display based application and a second server. The interactive event processing capabilities of the client are determined and either stored for future use in a logical unit descriptor and referenced by the server in response to a request from the client to interface a local client based display application, or else determined by the first server at the time of that request. Further responsive to the request from the client and determining that the client is capable of interactive event processing a client display based application negotiates an encoding scheme acceptable to said client and communicates with respect to the client in half duplex block mode encoded in accordance with the negotiated encoding scheme and optionally with respect the second server in full duplex mode.

20. A method for conducting an interactive event dialog, comprising the steps of:
-
establishing a half duplex block mode connection between a first server and a client;
establishing a full duplex mode connection between a client display based application and a second server;
operating said client display based application and said first server to determine over said half duplex block mode connection the interactive event processing capabilities of said client;
responsive to determining that said client is capable of interactive event processing, operating said client display based application to negotiate an encoding scheme acceptable to said client; and
communicating with respect to said client and said client display based application data in half duplex block mode encoded in accordance with said encoding scheme and with respect to said client display based application and said second server in full duplex mode.

21. A system for establishing an interactive event dialog with a client, comprising:
-
a half duplex block mode architecture connection with said client;
a full duplex connection with a remote server;
a server for issuing a query command to said client to discover client capabilities and for receiving from said client a response selectively including capability indicia identifying said client as capable of interactive event processing;
a display based application responsive to invocation by said client for sending to said client a request to communicate according to an encoding scheme;
said display based application further responsive to receiving data from said client according to said encoding scheme for communicating data on said full duplex connection with said remote server. - View Dependent Claims (22)

23. A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform method steps for establishing an interactive event dialog with a client, said method steps comprising the steps of:
-
establishing a half duplex block mode architecture connection with said client;
issuing a query command to said client to discover client capabilities; and
receiving from said client a response selectively including capability indicia identifying said client as capable of interactive event processing. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method for establishing an interactive event dialog with a client, comprising the steps of:
-
establishing a half duplex block mode architecture connection with said client;
negotiating capability indicia identifying said client as capable of interactive event processing;
communicating with a capable client over said half duplex connection according to an encoding scheme accepted by said client; and
responsive to a request from said client for establishing a cascaded session with a remote server, communicating over a full duplex connection with said remote server.
