Abstract: Data transmission delays can be significantly reduced by a method comprising by a client computer, receiving a command for downloading distributed information being identified by a primary location on a server sending information about the primary location to a proxy server, and retrieving at a primary piece of information of the distributed information being wherein the primary piece of information includes instructions for obtaining secondary pieces of information each being identified by secondary locations and determining a sequence of importance of the secondary pieces of information. The proxy server as well determines the sequence of importance and sends a first data stream comprising at least a portion of the secondary pieces of information to the client computer according to the sequence.

Abstract: Method for reducing the latency time for interactive data communication between a client computer (12) and a server computer (8), connected via a satellite network (1) containing a geostationary satellite (6), whereby a data processing program (10) is running on the server computer (8) producing data, which are transferred to the client computer (12) in the form of data packets (20, 20m, 20mUDP) and displayed by said client computer via a display medium (14) connected to the client computer (12) in the form of an interactive user program (26), and whereby the operator of the client computer (12) is given an input prompt (22) by the user program (26) to enter further data, which are transmitted to the server computer (8) in the form of further data packets (24, 24m, 24mUDP) via the satellite network (1), wherein the transmission of further data packets (24, 24m, 24mUDP) from the client computer (12) to the server computer (8) occurs essentially without an acknowledgement of the receipt of the transmitted furth

Abstract: A method for reducing the latency time for interactive data communication between a server computer (6) and a client computer (2) via a satellite network (4) comprising a geostationary satellite (12), whereby a data processing application (14), in particular a database application, runs on the server computer (6) and generates screen displays of an interactive user application with several data fields (18) that are processed one after the other in a processing sequence in line with predetermined parameters (#1, #2, #3) based on commands and data entered via an input medium (30) connected to the client computer (2), and then transferred to the client computer (2) in the form of data packets essentially without acknowledgment of receipt and displayed by this client computer (2) on a display medium (26), whereby an input prompt (7) on the display medium (26) signalizes that additional data is to be entered in a corresponding data field (18) via the input medium and then transferred in the form of additional data
