Abstract

A user terminal includes means for requesting a server managing data to transmit data, means for transmitting attribute information defining the data attribute required for the aforementioned data, means for receiving data appropriate for the attribute information, and display means for displaying the received data.

Claims

1. A user apparatus comprising:

a unit requesting transmission of data from a server that manages data;

a unit transmitting attribute information that defines a data attribute required for the data;

a unit receiving data that conforms to the attribute information; and

a display unit displaying the received data.

2. A user apparatus comprising:

a unit transmitting, to a server that manages data, a data transmission request and attribute information that defines a data attribute required for the data;

a unit receiving data that conforms to the attribute information; and

a display unit for displaying the received data.

3. A server comprising:

a unit receiving attribute information about data transmission-requested by a user apparatus;

a unit converting the data according to the attribute information; and

a unit transmitting the converted data to the user apparatus.

4. A server comprising:

a unit requesting transmission of data from a terminal that provides data;

a unit transmitting attribute information that defines a data attribute required for the data; and

a unit receiving data that conforms to the attribute information.

5. A user apparatus comprising:

a unit receiving attribute information about data transmission-requested by a server;

a unit converting the data according to the attribute information; and

a unit transmitting the converted data to the server.

6. A storage medium readable by a machine tangible embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps comprising:

a step requesting transmission of data from a server that manages data;

a step transmitting attribute information that defines a data attribute required for the data;

a step receiving data that conforms to the attribute information; and

a display step displaying the received data.

7. A storage medium readable by a machine tangible embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps, comprising:

a step transmitting, to a server that manages data, a data transmission request and attribute information that defines a data attribute required for the data;

a step receiving data that conforms to the attribute information; and

a display step displaying the received data.

8. A storage medium readable by a machine tangible embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps, comprising:

a step receiving attribute information about data transmission-requested by a user apparatus;

a step converting the data according to the attribute information; and

a step transmitting the converted data to the user apparatus.

9. A storage medium readable by a machine tangible embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps, comprising:

a step requesting transmission of data from a terminal that provides data;

a step transmitting attribute information that defines a data attribute required for the data; and

a step receiving data that conforms to the attribute information.

10. A storage medium readable by a machine tangible embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps, comprising:

a step receiving attribute information about data transmission-requested by a server;

a step converting the data according to the attribute information; and

a step transmitting the converted data to the server.

11. A data providing method for a server, the method comprising:

a step receiving attribute information about data transmission-requested by a user apparatus;

a step converting the data according to the attribute information; and

a step transmitting the converted data to the user apparatus.

12. A data providing method for a server, the method comprising:

a step requesting transmission of data from a terminal that provides data;

a step transmitting attribute information that defines a data attribute required for the data; and

a step receiving data that conforms to the attribute information.
