Abstract: An information processing system including a host device and a client device which requests the host device to process information, includes: a communication unit which provides communication between the host device and the client device, wherein the host device includes: a communication completion judgment: unit which judges whether or not first communication information to be transmitted and received via one round of communication provided by the communication unit has all been transmitted or received; and a communication information process determination unit which, in the event that the communication unit is unable to transmit or receive the first communication information before it is judged by the communication completion judgment unit that the first communication information has all been transmitted or received, determines a process related to the first communication information in accordance with second communication information received via a next or subsequent round of communication.

Abstract: A system including a plurality of clients and a host is provided. In the system, each client includes a storage-type display device holding a non-volatile display state; a unit storing data of a displayed document; client-side connection units that, when the host is connected, cause the client to communicate with the host and respectively correspond to predetermined processing; and a unit storing a response map indicating the predetermined processing corresponding to the client-side connection unit. The host includes a host-side connection unit which connects the host to the client-side connection unit; a unit obtaining data from the document storing unit, the data being displayed on the client display device set to communicate; and a unit executing predetermined processing on the obtained data, the processing being associated with the client-side connection unit, to which the host-side connection unit is connected, by the response map.

Abstract: An information processing system including a host device and a client device which requests the host device to process information, includes: a communication unit which provides communication between the host device and the client device, wherein the host device includes: a communication completion judgment: unit which judges whether or not first communication information to foe transmitted and received via one round of communication provided by the communication unit has all been transmitted or received; and a communication information process determination unit which, in the event that the communication unit is unable to transmit or receive the first communication information before it is judged by the communication completion judgment unit that the first communication information has all been transmitted or received, determines a process related to the first communication information in accordance with second communication information received via a next or subsequent round of communication.

Abstract: An information processing system includes: a host device, and a plurality of client devices, each of which is in communication with the host device, the plurality of client devices having unique identification information for specifying each of them.

Abstract: An image display device for displaying a document containing a text and a graphic chart relevant to the text on a display screen includes a document relevance determination section for determining the relevance between the text and the graphic chart contained in the document by analyzing the document, and a display timing control section for controlling the display start and end on the display screen for the graphic chart contained in the document, based on a display state on the display screen for the text determined to be relevant to the graphic chart by the document relevance determination section.

Abstract: There is provided a network system in which, when the data of a plurality of pages having a hyperlinked structure is prepared for a server machine, a user can easily access an arbitrary service of an arbitrary page by using keys arranged on a user terminal. The network system includes a server machine and a plurality of user terminals 30. The server machine includes a memory for storing data of a plurality of pages having a hyperlinked structure described in a language along the specification of the HTML, and setup data described in the language along the specification of the HTML to perform allocation of functions of keys of the user terminal for each page and explanation of the functions allocated to the respective keys. Each of the user terminals 30 includes a plurality of keys 42 and processing means for displaying a page supplied from the server machine on a display 32.

Abstract: In a system constituted by using the Internet techniques, there is provided a network system which can spontaneously transmit data from a server machine to a desired user terminal. The network system is a server-client type network system including a server machine 10 for storing the data of a plurality of pages which are described in a language along the specification of the HTML to be hyperlinked, and a plurality of user terminals 30 for displaying a page of the server machine on a display by using a Web browser. The server machine 10 includes a data transmission unit 80 for spontaneously transmitting the data described in the language along the specification of the HTML to an arbitrary user terminal. Each of the user terminals 30 monitors reception of the spontaneously transmitted data by using the Web browser and displays the received spontaneously transmitted data on the display.
