Abstract

A server provides information to a client via a network. The server includes a receiving module for receiving a request for providing the information from said client. The providing request contains a piece of access site information on an access site through which the client accesses said network. The server further includes an acquisition module for acquiring a piece of information corresponding to the access site information, and a transmitting module for transmitting the information acquired to the client.

Claims

1. A server for providing information to a client via a network, comprising:

a receiving module receiving a request for providing the information from said client, the providing request containing a piece of access site information on an access site through which said client accesses said network;

an acquisition module acquiring a piece of information corresponding to the access site information; and

a transmitting module transmitting the information acquired to said client.

2. A server according to claim 1, further comprising a database stored with plural items of information that should be provided to said client,

wherein said acquisition module acquires the information corresponding to the access site information out of said database.

3. A server according to claim 2, wherein said acquisition module creates a file of a Web page that contains the information acquired, and

said transmitting module transmits the created file to said client.

4. A server according to claim 1, further comprising a database stored with files of a plurality of Web pages with their contents different from each other,

wherein said acquisition module acquires the file corresponding to the access site information out of said database, and

said transmitting module transmits the acquired file to said client.

5. A server according to claim 1, wherein the information is a piece of information for indicating a location where the Web page is stored.

6. A server according to claim 1, wherein the access site information is a source address of the providing request.

7. A server according to claim 4, wherein said database is stored with the files of the plurality of Web pages each containing the same information expressed in a different language.

8. A method for a server to provide information to a client via a network, comprising:

receiving a request for providing the information from said client, the providing request containing a piece of access site information on an access site through which said client accesses said network;

acquiring a piece of information corresponding to the access site information; and

transmitting the information acquired to said client.

9. A method according to claim 8, wherein said acquiring involves acquiring the information corresponding to the access site information from a database stored with plural items of information that should be provided to said client.

10. A method according to claim 9, wherein said acquiring involves creating a file of a Web page on which the information acquired is displayed, and

said transmitting involves transmitting the created file to said client.

11. A method according to claim 8, wherein said acquiring involves acquiring the file corresponding to the access site information out of a database stored with files of a plurality of Web pages with their display contents different from each other, and

said transmitting involves transmitting the acquired file to said client.

14. A computer readable medium according to claim 13, wherein said acquiring step involves acquiring the information corresponding to the access site information from a database stored with plural items of information that should be provided to said client.

15. A computer readable medium according to claim 14, wherein said acquiring step involves creating a file of a Web page on which the information acquired is displayed, and

said transmitting step involves transmitting the created file to said client.

16. A computer readable medium according to claim 13, wherein said acquiring step involves acquiring the file corresponding to the access site information out of a database stored with files of a plurality of Web pages with their display contents different from each other, and

said transmitting step involves transmitting the acquired file to said client.

12. A system comprising:

a client; and

a server for providing information to said client via a network,

wherein said client transmits a request for providing the information to said server, the information providing request containing a piece of access site information on an access site through which said clients accesses said network, and

said server receives the providing request, acquires a piece of information corresponding to the access site information, and transmits the acquired information to said client.

13. A computer readable medium recorded with a program executed by a computer configuring a server in order for said server to provide information to a client via a network, said program comprising:

a receiving step of receiving from said client an information providing request containing a piece of access site information on an access site through which said client accesses said network;

an acquiring step of acquiring information (content) corresponding to the access site information; and

a transmitting step of transmitting the acquired content to said client.
