Abstract

A system and method for dynamic updating of display windows using a pushed stream of data.

Claims

1. A Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based system comprising:

a proxy server connected to more than one web servers and a client, wherein the proxy server

receives a request from the client seeking financial data from the more than one web servers over a first HTTP connection between the proxy server and the client,

searches the more than one web servers to obtain the financial data according to the request,

returns to the client a definition for a streaming IFrame for establishing a second HTTP connection between the proxy server and the client,

generates a pushed streamed set of HTTP responses including the financial data from the more than one web servers with a response size of the financial data set to a nonspecified value, and

continually pushes over the second HTTP connection the financial data included in the pushed streamed set of HTTP responses from the proxy server to the client in response to the request and updating the financial data for presenting at the client in real-time without requiring user refresh at the client until the client is disconnected from the HTTP based system.

2. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the more than one web servers is a World Wide Web server.

3. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based system of claim 1, wherein the proxy server further

receives information about real time data fields and their location through the second HTTP connection, and

returns to the client the definition for the streaming IFrame for registering the pushed streamed set of HTTP responses with a JavaScript function call.

4. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based system of claim 1, wherein the pushed streamed set of HTTP responses generated at the proxy server relates to securities market transaction data.

5. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based system of claim 1, wherein the pushed streamed set of HTTP responses including the financial data are formatted with one or more keywords marking one or more elements of the financial data for updating.
