Data display method and system
First Claim
1. A data display method, for connecting an input/output interface of a client terminal to a data display system, wherein the data display system is linked to a website of World Wide Web to allow the client terminal to interact with the website via the input/output interface;
- the data display method comprising the steps of;
(1) inputting a website address or name via the client terminal to the input/output interface;
(2) upon receiving the website address or name from the input/output interface, connecting the input/output interface of the client terminal to the website via the data display system, and determining via the data display system if data resources provided from the website may be displayed on the input/output interface of the client terminal;
if yes, the data resources from the website being transmitted to the input/output interface of the client terminal, and proceeding to step (4);
if no, proceeding to step (3);
(3) upon determining that the data resources from the website may not be displayed on the input/output interface of the client terminal, figuring out a file format of the data resources via the data display system, and searching in a file-format versus browser-software database of the data display system for a format conversion program that may convert the file format of the data resources into one suitably displayed on the input/output interface of the client terminal;
converting the file format of the data resources through the use of the searched format conversion program, and transmitting the format-converted data resources via the data display system to the input/output interface of the client terminal; and
(4) upon receiving the data resources via the input/output interface of the client terminal, displaying the data resources provided from the website via the input/output interface.

Abstract
A data display method and a data display system are provided, and used to connect an input/output device of a client terminal to a data display system (for example, by means of Internet to establish network connection), wherein the data display system is linked to a website of World Wide Web to allow the client terminal to interact with the website via the input/output device. In the use of the data display method and system, the input/output device of the client terminal with a common network browser program but not installed with particular application software, can browse data resources of different file formats provided from the website; therefore, memory utilization of the input/output device of the client terminal can be reduced, and costs of software installation in an electronic device (such as PDA, computer device, etc) for an enterprise or person can also be reduced.

11. A data display system, for connecting an input/output interface of a client terminal to a data display system, wherein the data display system is linked to a website of World Wide Web to allow the client terminal to interact with the website via the input/output interface;
- the data display system comprising;
an input module connected to the input/output interface of the client terminal, for receiving a website address or name and a request inputted from the client terminal via the input/output interface;
an analysis module connected to the input module, for receiving the inputted website address or name and request from the input module, and for constructing linkage to the website according to the inputted website address or name, to correspondingly respond to the inputted request, so as to display data resources provided from the website on the input/output interface of the client terminal, wherein the analysis module comprises a format search module and a format conversion module;
a file-format versus browser-software database connected to the format search module, wherein when the analysis module fails to display the data resources from the website on the input/output interface of the client terminal, the format search module searches in the file-format versus browser-software database for a format conversion program corresponding to a file format of the data resources from the website, and the format conversion module converts the file format of the data resources through the use of the searched format conversion program; and
an output module connected to the analysis module, for transmitting the format-converted data resources from the format conversion module to the input/output interface of the client terminal for display, so as to allow the client terminal to obtain the data resources provided from the website. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
