Apparatus and method for the server-sided linking of information
First Claim
1. Apparatus for a client-sided creating, receiving, delivering, transmitting, representing, outputting and displaying of server-sided stored data in a via an electronic network (100) connected client-server system, with a client-sided electronic data processing equipment (10), which is connected with the electronic network (100), a document-visualization/output/representation unit (30), which is designed as component of the electronic data processing equipment (10) for the representing, displaying, and visualization of the electronic document (25) and a function unit(60) that is assigned to the document-visualization/output/representation unit (30), which is designed to access data of the electronic document (25) and to transmit data to a server unit (150) that is connected to the network (100), characterized in that said function unit (60) comprises a content signature unit (50), which is designed to build or to form a plurality of unambiguous or unique digital signature data of a content of said electronic document (25), in particular of a document segment (35) and/or of a file (45), which is contained in said electronic document (25) and is designed for the separate transmitting of said digital signature data by means of the network (100) to the server unit (150) and in the server unit (150) a signature-data-to-additional-data relationship unit (200) is provided, which is designed for the supply of server-sided additional data that are assigned to said digital signature data, whereby said function unit (60) is designed to select and receive of additional data from said server unit (150) and said function unit (60) effects a client-sided representing, outputting or visualization of the additional data, particularly by means of the document-visualization/output/representation unit.

Abstract
The invention pertains to an apparatus for the client-sided receiving, transmitting, delivering, representing, outputting and displaying of server-sided stored data by means of unambiguous or unique content signatures, which together with additional data, are stored on the server-side. Server-sided additional data are called via this content signature on the server-side by a client-sided program. Additional data are displayed on the client-side and can be used as hyperlinks for further searches or linking. Further additional data can be inserted on the client-side by creators related to content signatures, which are transmitted to the server and stored on the server-side. Via the assignment of predetermined category names, server-sided additional assignments can be defined for category terms and upon client requests, after which it is sent to the client.
