Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for updating an executing executable file. Client executes a first executable file in a first location and makes a request. Server receives the request and transfers a configuration file to client. The configuration file comprises an executable file name, and a file address corresponding to a storage apparatus. Second executable file corresponds to the executable file name, stored in storage apparatus. First executable file receives the configuration file and links to storage apparatus corresponding to the file address, downloads second executable file and stores second executable file in a second location. First executable file activates second executable file and terminates first executable file. Second executable file duplicates itself to the first location. Second executable file in the second location activates second executable file in the first location and terminates second executable file in the second location.

Abstract: A method for reminding a user is applied to a computer system. The method includes a preset appearance-changing value and a appearance-changing counter with an initial value “0”. The method comprises: a) determining if a value of the appearance-changing counter is less than the preset appearance-changing value; if yes, going to step b; otherwise, terminating the method; b) assigning a first appearance-changing value to a appearance parameter of the object; c) pausing for a appearance-changing intermittence time; d) assigning a second appearance-changing value to the appearance parameter of the object; e) pausing for the appearance-changing intermittence time; and f) adding “1” to the value of the appearance-changing counter and going to step a. By providing the method for the present invention, the user can then be reminded by appearance-changing of the object on the screen.

Abstract: An automatic transaction system and method of advertising. The system comprises one server apparatus and at least one client apparatus. The first and second programs are preinstalled on the client apparatus and the server apparatus. When the first program sends a request message to the second program, the second program returns the most recent advertising schedule. When the first program receives the most recent advertising schedule with a plurality of time slot fields for selection therefrom, a time slot field is selected and the selected time slot field and advertising content are sent to the second program by the first program. A comparison is performed by the second program between the selected time slot field and a database. A transaction accepted/failed message is sent to the first program according to the comparison result.
