Abstract:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps to communicate with a remote terminal for displaying graphic user interface, comprising:receiving a drawing request to display a fragment on the remote terminal, the fragment including a plurality of glyphs; determining whether the fragment has been cached in a fragment cache at the remote terminal; when it is determined that the fragment has been cached, sending a fragment index associated with the fragment to the remote terminal, the fragment index identifying an entry in the fragment cache that stores data representing the fragment; checking whether each of the glyphs in the fragment has been cached in glyph caches at the remote computer; and for a glyph in the fragment that has not been cached, sending graphic representation data for said glyph and a cell index to the remote terminal, the cell index identifying a cell in the glyph caches for storing the graphic representation data for said glyph.
