METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DISCRIMINATION OF AN ALPHABET FOR VISUAL OR SOUND RESTITUTION OF AN HTML DOCUMENT, AND DEVICE FOR MANAGING HTML DOCUMENTS THEREFOR

摘要

The method involves determining the address suffix of a URL and based on successful determination, ordering the reception of the document. At least one reference alphabet is determined for the document as a function of its header data describing the alphabet used, or if this is unsuccessful, a default alphabet is assigned. Independent claims are included for a system interfacing a terminal and server over an IP network, and for a gateway interfacing system between a videotex terminal and a server over the PSTN.
