Be wireless handset units custom table column data
Background
Present invention relates in general to wireless data communication system.
Wireless data communications can provide the up-to-date information of stock, weather, news and physical culture etc. for the wireless data service user.Many wireless data services are based on a kind of wireless technology that is called wireless application protocol (wap).Referring to WAP-100, the WAP (wireless application protocol) specification for structure, it can be from being positioned at California 94040, and the Wireless Application Protocol ForumLtd. (WAP Forum company) of Mountain View obtains.WAP is the set of a wireless protocols standard, and its target is with wireless handset units (such as cell phone and pager) access internet data and professional mode standardization.WAP standard support and expand existing internet standard makes the developer of web app can make their content be suitable for wireless user's needs.
WAP uses or is professional based on wireless markup language (wml) and WML script (WMLS).WML is based on extend markup language (XML).It utilizes card deck/card (deck/card) metaphor (metaphor) to stipulate a WML business.Card is the unit with user interactions, or the expression of information or from user's information request.The set of card is called card deck, and it constitutes a WML business.Each WML document is represented a card deck.WMLS is the ECMA script, and it is a kind of process script of lightweight.It can be used to strengthen the business of writing with WML.For example, it can be used to import the real user of wireless handset units Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Except being independent of wireless network, WAP also is independent of any specific radio hand-held equipment.And the WAP standard handheld device bottom line minimum functional.
Unlike desk-top computer, the client computer of wireless data service (for example cell phone or PDA(Personal Digital Assistant)) has a not too powerful processor, less storer, limited power consumption, different input equipment (for example telephone keypad) and less displays.The size of display is less, has limited the information content that can show on wireless handset units.For example, it is capable that the display of an exemplary cellular telephone approximately comprises 5-6, and every row is approximately 12-20 character.This restriction may have a strong impact on the information content or the type that can show on wireless handset units.By contrast, a lot of wireless data service users get used to checking the abundant content that comprises tabulated data in their desktop system.
Tabulated data is a bidimensional.It can have the information of the row and the row of arbitrary number.In typical case, the specific aspect or the character of an entity is shown in every tabulation, and every row is just represented the information of different entities.For example, the share certificate data may comprise following message for each stock in these security: stock market includes device, code name, time, ultimate price, opening price, day highest price, day lowest price, highest price since 52 weeks, lowest price, quantity and average magnitude since 52 weeks.
Tabulated data generally on Web server from database table or persistent storage such as generating the text.CGI (Common Gateway Interface) (CGI) script is mainly used to dynamically create tabulated data.WAP uses or service can utilize the CGI scripting technology, and for example Active Server Page (ASPs), JavaServlets, the java server page (JSPs) etc. come to be lived with on the web server.
Because the wireless handset units display sizes is less, so the indicator gauge column data has proposed some challenges on wireless handset units.Wireless data service supplier can be on wireless handset units one of simple displaying tabulated data than smaller subset.In other words, the data that be displayed on the wireless handset units have been carried out pre-packing by service supplier on Web server.As a result, wireless data service user other relevant informations in just can not the access list column data.
Therefore, need better method and make things convenient for the demonstration of tabulated data on wireless handset units.
