1. A method for displaying information, comprising:
- receiving, from an information source, at a first network device having a first display format for displaying information, a plurality of data including a first element and a second element configured for simultaneous display on a second network device having a second display format for displaying information larger than the first display format, the plurality of data defining a screen page according to the second display format;
after receiving the plurality of data but prior to displaying any of the received data, the first network device separating the received data into at least the first element and the second element, wherein the separation is based on the first element being of a first type and the second element being of a second type;
upon separating the received data, automatically displaying only one or more elements of the first type at the first network device in the first display format;
detecting a first trigger at a controller on the first network device;
based at least on the detecting of the trigger, switching from displaying only the elements of the first type in the first display format to displaying only one or more elements of the second type in the first display format;
responsive to switching from displaying the elements of the first type to displaying the elements of the second type, starting a timer having a preset duration;
if a subsequent trigger is detected at the controller before the timer expires, continuing to display the elements of the second type and resetting the timer; and
if the timer expires without detecting a subsequent trigger at the controller, automatically switching from displaying the elements of the second type in the first display format back to displaying the elements of the first type in the first display format.

6. A terminal for a network, comprising:
-
a screen; and a control unit coupled to the screen, wherein the control unit is configured to; receive, from an information source, at the terminal, the terminal having a screen with a first display format, a plurality of data including first and second data configured for simultaneous display on a second network device having a second display format larger than the terminal, the plurality of data defining a screen page according to the second display format; separate the first and the second data at the terminal after reception of the plurality of data defining the screen page but prior to displaying any of the first and second data, wherein the separation is based on the first data being of a first type and the second data being of a second type; upon separating the first and second data, automatically display only data of the first type on the screen with the first display format; detect a first trigger; based at least on the detected trigger, switch from displaying only data of the first type to displaying only data of the second type on the screen with the first display format; responsive to switching from displaying only data of the first type to displaying only data of the second type, start a timer having a preset duration; if a subsequent trigger is detected before the timer expires, continuing to display only data of the second type on the screen with the first display format and resetting the timer; and if the timer expires without detecting a subsequent trigger at the controller, automatically switch from displaying only data of the second type on the screen with the first display format back to displaying only data of the first type on the screen with the first display format. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
