Internet Human Meridian Information Visualization System Based on Web Services with Adaptive Data Transfer

Human meridian theory is the kernel of traditional Chinese medicine and is nowadays being accepted by the whole world. With people’s increasing interest in studying human meridian theory, the visualization of human meridian information is becoming more and more important. How to visualize the meridian information interactively in real time is a great challenge. A new architecture of human meridian information visualization system based on Web Services is presented in this paper. The system supports the adaptive presentation and data transfer according to the user’s context. Binary data that user requests and possibly needs is transferred while network is idle. And only a Web browser with X3D plug-in is needed for using this system. The experiment shows that the system can be used efficiently and friendly.
