Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02082334A1] The invention relates to a method of distributing information data (ID) from at least one central server system (S) to at least one decentral client computer (DCC), said method comprising the steps of -installing at least one viewer program (VIP) on said at least one decentral client computer (DCC), said viewer program (VIP) being adapted to displaying information data (ID) on said at least one decentral client computer (DCC), -storing request criteria (RC) on said at least one decentral client computer (DCC), -said at least one decentral computer comprising at least one computer input device (CID) -transferring updated information data (ID) to said at least one decentral client computer (DCC) from said at least one central server system (S) via communication lines (DL) upon request (IDR) by said client computer when said at least one request criterion (RC) is met. -said viewer program (VIP) being adapted to displaying said information data (ID) on said at least one decentral client computer (DCC) when the computer input devices (CID) of said decentral computer (DCC) have been inactive for a predetermined period of time (IAP). According to the invention, an update schedule, i.e. the request criteria, may be stored by the decentral computers, thereby facilitating an update of information data under the control of the decentral computer. The decentral control of the update makes is possible to optimize the data transfer from the central server to the decentral client computers in the sense that the conditions of the decentral computers may be taken into consideration individually when a data transfer is intended.
