Abstract

An electronic apparatus that reads an HTML file and an applet from a storage portion storing the HTML file and the applet, and transmits the HTML file and the applet to a computer through a communication network, has a data collection portion that collects data from an external process, and a communication portion that transmits the HTML file and the applet read from the storage portion, and the data collected by the data collection portion to the computer through the communication network, wherein the applet involves a CGI applet using CGI, which requests to transmit the data collected by the data collection portion.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus that reads an HTML file and an applet from a storage portion storing the HTML file and the applet, and transmits the HTML file and the applet to a computer through a communication network, comprising:

a data collection portion that collects data from an external process; and

a communication portion that transmits the HTML file and the applet read from the storage portion, and the data collected by the data collection portion to the computer through the communication network,

wherein the applet involves a CGI applet using CGI, which requests to transmit the data collected by the data collection portion.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the communication portion transmits the HTML file, the applet and the data to the computer with using an identical port.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the communication portion has a CGI communication portion that obtains data from the data collection portion in response to a request from the CGI applet.

4. An electronic apparatus system comprising an electronic apparatus and a computer which are connected through a communication network,

wherein the electronic apparatus comprises:

a data collection portion that collects data from an external process; and

a communication portion that transmits an applet read from a first storage portion storing an HTML file and the applet, and the data collected by the data collection portion to the computer,

the applet involves a CGI applet using CGI, which requests to transmit the data collected by the data collection portion, and

the computer comprises a second storage portion storing the HTML file stored in the first storage portion, and reads the HTML file from the second storage portion.

5. The electronic apparatus system according to claim 4,

wherein the computer performs a backup process in order to write the HTML file stored in the first storage portion into the second storage portion.

6. The electronic apparatus system according to claim 4,

wherein the communication portion transmits the applet and the data to the computer with using an identical port.

7. The electronic apparatus system according to claim 4,

wherein the first storage portion stores a communication proxy in order to communicate between the computer and the electronic apparatus,

the second storage portion stores the applet stored in the first storage portion and the communication proxy, and

the computer reads the HTML file, the applet and the communication proxy from the second storage portion.

8. The electronic apparatus system according to claim 7,

wherein the computer performs a backup process in order to write the HTML file, the applet and the communication proxy stored in the first storage portion into the second storage portion.
