Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG06F 17/24 (20060101)AbstractDisclosed is a method and system for creating a visual display of data from an input data set in which the data are not fixed into display-acceptable format until the data are stored in a local memory of the visual display. At least one of a plurality of sources of resource information is initially selected as required by the input data set. Control signals corresponding to the sources of resource information are thereafter embedded into the input data set to form an output data set. Subsequently, the selected sources of resource information and the output data set are applied to the local memory. They are concurrently taken from this local memory to produce a visual display. Fixation of the data into display acceptable format is thereby postponed until just prior to actual display to thereby provide a substantial increase in system flexibility.Other References
