Abstract: A technique that can reduce the load to the ASP server is provided. An application executed in the ASP server is installed into a user terminal 6. The application installed into the user terminal functions as a satellite ASP, exhibiting the same functions as those of the ASP server. When a user transmits a request for receiving ASP services from the ASP server, to the ASP server, the satellite ASP receives the request to execute the application instead of the ASP server.
