Web-site consistency administration among inconsistent software-object libraries of remote distributed health-care providers
First Claim
1. A method of Web-site host consistency administration for network communications between a server and remote distributed clients belonging to the health-care provider field and in a computing environment in which the clients are treated as communicating from machines stored with inconsistent software-object libraries, comprising the steps of:
- providing a Web-site host with a library of DLL objects, a sufficient operating system, an application source program, application data access program, network program, Internet protocols, application data, and application first-stage-compiled objects with DLL references;
the Web-site host executing the operating system and further executing a repeatable cycle, which from a beginning comprises;
executing the network program using the Internet protocols;
receiving a request from a client in the form of keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs;
storing the received keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs;
analyzing the keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs and in consequence thereof, analyzing the request gotten thereby;
selecting, in accordance with the request, an applicable first-stage-compiled object with linked DLL references;
selecting requested data;
executing a second-stage-compile/interpretation of the selected first-stage-compiled object with linked DLL references in order to derive object and referenced DLL'"'"'S;
executing the derivative code;
developing screen images with requested data content;
translating the developed screen images into an open or public domain protocol;
executing network program Internet protocols;
transmitting the translated screen images; and
, going back to the beginning of the repeatable cycle, whereby said method provides high assurance that every client sees substantially the same result for the same request despite inconsistencies in DLL libraries onboard different client machines.

Abstract
A method of Web-site host consistency administration provides for consistent presentation of data despite presentation on client machines with inconsistent software-object libraries. The host sends screen images which contact the client'"'"'s onboard DLLs as little as possible. That way, inconsistency problems called binary incompatibilities are avoided. The client is excused from most of the processing load. The client'"'"'s role is practically limited to displaying the received screens and sending out keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs. The light role given the client correspondingly shifts more of a load on server-side processing and data storage. Nevertheless, the method provides high assurance the any client sees substantially the same result for the same request despite differences or inconsistencies in software-object libraries onboard the client'"'"'s machine.

providing a client with a library of DLL objects which are presumed inconsistent with those of the server'"'"'s library, at least a minimal operating system, a browser program, and Internet protocols;
the client executing the at least minimal operating system and further collecting and storing keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs;
analyzing the keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs and either discontinuing or else continuing by further executing a repeatable cycle, which from a beginning comprises;
executing the browser program using the Internet protocols;
sending a request for Web-site host service in the form of a transmission of applicable ones of the stored keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs;
executing the browser program using the Internet protocols;
receiving the requested translated screen images with requested data content;
displaying the screen images;
collecting and storing keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs; and
,going back to the step of analyzing the keystrokes and cursor-moving device inputs at the beginning of the repeatable cycle, whereby said method on the client-side of processing further provides high assurance a common look for every request despite inconsistencies in DLL libraries onboard different client machines.
