An apparatus for and method of utilizing an Internet terminal coupled to the world wide web to interface with an existing proprietary data base management system through a customized user interface which permits access to a corresponding application service. Instead of coupling the customized user interface directly to the corresponding application service, all communication between these two elements is via the proprietary data base management system. This technique permits the customized user interface and the corresponding application to be separately and independently developed, because all communication there between is via the predefined access rules of the proprietary data base management system.

Method and mechanism for the development and implementation of a web-based user interface

An apparatus for and method of utilizing an Internet terminal coupled to the world wide web to interface with an existing proprietary data base management system through a user interface which permits access to an application service by presentation of one of a plurality of display pages which differ from one another only in resolution. The use of one of a plurality of nearly identical display pages offers a highly efficient way of optimizing the user interface from one work station to another.
