Abstract

A method for synchronous updating of multiple language web content for use in a primary server and several secondary servers. The method first employs a timer to notify the primary server. The primary server then searches for updated content in web content, composes an updated web content file, and synchronously transmits the updated web content file to the secondary servers in response to the notification. After receiving the updated web content file, the secondary server compiles the updated web content file, codes it by dynamically linking to a language code setting, transfers the updated web content file according to a specific language, and updates web content corresponding to the web content on the primary server using the updated web content file.

Claims

1. A method of synchronously updating of multiple language web content, comprising the steps of:

providing a primary server and a plurality of secondary servers, in which the primary server has web content and a timer, and each secondary server has a language code setting and web content corresponding to the web content on the primary server;

notifying the primary server by the timer such that the primary server searches for updated web content, composes an updated web content file, and synchronously transmits the updated web content file from the primary server to the secondary servers in response to notification;

compiling updated web content file, and coding the updated web content file by dynamically linking to the language code setting of each secondary server; and

updating the web content on each secondary server based on the updated web content file.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising translating the updated web content file from a language used on the primary server into a specific language used on the secondary server.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the web content comprises one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the web content comprises one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the updated web content file is a compressed data file, which can be transmitted over a network.

6. A method of web content updating for use in a primary server having web content, comprising the steps of:

searching an updated content in the web content and composing the updated content into a updated web content file; and

transmission the updated web content file.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising synchronously transmitting the updated web content file to a plurality of secondary servers.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein the web content comprises at least one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein the updated web content file is a compressed data file, which can be transmitted over a network.

10. A method for synchronous updating of web content for use in a secondary server having a language code setting and web content, comprising the steps of:

receiving a updated web content file;

compiling the updated web content file, and coding the updated web content file by dynamically linking to the language code setting; and

updating the web content using the updated web content file.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the updated web content file is received from a primary server.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising transferring the updated web content file from a language used in the primary server into a specific language used in the secondary server.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the web content comprises at least one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the updated web content file is a data compressed file, which can be transmitted over a network.

15. An apparatus for updating web content, comprising:

a primary server having web content and a timer to receive a notification from the timer, searching for updates in the web content, composing an updated web content file, and transmitting the updated web content file in response to notification; and

a plurality of secondary servers, each of which has a language code setting and web content corresponding to the web content on the primary server, to receive the updated web content file from the primary server, compile the updated web content file, code the updated web content file by dynamically linking to the language code setting, and updating the web content based the updated web content file.

16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 15 wherein each of the secondary servers further translates the updated web content file to a specific language used by the secondary server.

17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 15 wherein the web content on the primary server comprises at least one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser.

18. The apparatus as claimed in claim 15 wherein the web content in the secondary server comprises at least one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser.

19. The apparatus as claimed in claim 15 wherein the updated web content file is a data compressed file, which can be transmitted over a network.

20. A machine-readable storage medium storing a computer program which when executed causes a computer to perform a method of updating web content for use in a primary server having web content, comprising:

a first program for searching for updates in the web content and composing an updated web content file; and

a second program for transmitting the updated web content file.

21. The storage medium as claimed in claim 20 the second program further comprising transmitting the updated web content file to a plurality of secondary servers synchronously.

22. The storage medium as claimed in claim 20 wherein the web content comprises at least one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser.

23. The storage medium as claimed in claim 20 wherein the updated web content file is a compressed data file, which can be transmitted over a network.

24. A machine-readable storage medium storing a computer program which when executed causes a computer to perform a method of synchronous updating of web content for use in a secondary server having a language code setting and web content, comprising:

a first program for receiving an updated web content file;

a second program for compiling the updated web content file, and coding the updated web content file by dynamically linking to the language code setting; and

a third program for updating the web content based on the updated web content file.

25. The storage medium as claimed in claim 24 wherein the updated web content file is received from a primary server.

26. The storage medium as claimed in claim 24 the third program further comprising transferring the updated web content file according to a specific language used on the secondary server.

27. The storage medium as claimed in claim 24 wherein the web content comprises at least one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser.

28. The storage medium as claimed in claim 24 wherein the updated web content file is a compressed data file, which can be transmitted over a network.
