System and method for display of document comparisons on a remote device

Abstract

A system utilizing a remote, client device for displaying comparison of two versions of a document that utilizes a server to obtain two versions of the document and perform the comparison, and transmit back to the remote device a comparison output data in a format that utilizes an application operating on the remote device to display the comparison output result, where the remote device receives and utilizes static and dynamic resources to display the comparison output and permit a user operating the remote device to interact with the displayed comparison output.

1 . A computer system for comparing a first and a second version of a document embodied as two respective data files comprising:
 a server comprised of a comparison engine component adapted by logic to generate a comparison output data of a predetermined format, comprised of at least one data representing a corresponding at least one change between the first and second version of the document, said comparison output data generated in a pre-determined comparison output format;   a client device, comprised of a display, remotely connected to the server via a data network, said client device adapted by logic to display the comparison output data by: (i) receiving static resource data usable to display the predetermined format, (ii) receiving the comparison output data; (iii) receiving dynamic resource data corresponding to the received comparison output data and (iv) using the received static resources, dynamic resources and comparison output data to present on the display the at least one data representing a corresponding at least one change between the first and second version of the document with a visual indication of a corresponding type of said at least one changes.
