Abstract

To display pieces of data provided by different servers in one page, a providing apparatus provides a page to a client terminal, the page including data retrieved from a server. The providing apparatus includes a) a page return unit for, upon receipt of a page retrieval request from the client terminal, returning a page including code to the client terminal, the code to be executed on the client terminal, the code causing the client terminal to transmit a data transmission instruction to the server, the data transmission instruction instructing the server to transmit the data to the providing apparatus, b) a data reception unit for receiving the data transmitted by the server, the server having received the data transmission instruction from the client terminal, and c) a transfer unit for transferring the data received from the server, to the client terminal.

Claims

1. A method performed in a providing apparatus for providing a page to a client terminal, the page including data retrieved from a server, the method comprising:

a page return step of, upon receipt of a page retrieval request from the client terminal, returning a page including code, the code to be executed on the client terminal, the code causing the client terminal to transmit a data transmission instruction to the server, the data transmission instruction instructing the server to transmit the data to the providing apparatus;

a data reception step of receiving the data transmitted by the server, the server having received the data transmission instruction from the client terminal; and

a transfer step of transferring the data received from the server, to the client terminal.

2. A method performed in a server for providing data to a providing apparatus, the method comprising:

a transmission instruction reception step of receiving the data transmission instruction transmitted by the client terminal that has received a page from the providing apparatus, the page including the code; and

a data transmission step of, upon receipt of the data transmission instruction, transmitting the data to the providing apparatus, the data being specified by the data transmission instruction.
