Abstract

In a server (10), all column data items are extracted from a master data storage unit (11) and sent to a client (20) in addition to target data corresponding to a data acquisition request that has been sent from the client (20), and in the client (20), the target data and data items received from the server (10) are displayed on a screen in a user-interface selectable mode, thereby making it possible to download from the server (10) to the client (20) the minimum target data required when attempting to perform a desired process on the client (20), and doing away with the waste associated with downloading all the data. In addition, by also downloading and displaying in a selectable manner on a screen data items pertaining to data other than the target data, a user can be shown, in an operable-like manner, data items pertaining to actual data without downloading the actual data.

Claims

1. A client and server type data processing system having a structure in which a client and a server are connected through a network, data stored in a master data storing section provided in the server is downloaded to the client, and desirable data processing can be carried out by the client,

the server comprising:

a request receiving section for receiving a data acquirement request transmitted from the client;

a data extracting section for extracting target data coinciding with the data acquirement request from the master data storing section and extracting data items related to the target data and the other data from the master data storing section; and

an extracted data transmitting section for transmitting, to the client, the target data and the data items extracted by the data extracting section, and

the client comprising;

a request transmitting section for transmitting the data acquirement request to the server;

an extracted data receiving section for receiving the target data and the data items transmitted from the server;

a data storing section for storing, in a local data storing section, the target data and the data items received by the extracted data receiving section; and

a display control section for displaying the target data and the data items stored in the local data storing section in a selectable mode by a user interface on a screen.

2. The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the data extracting section extracts all of the data items included in the master data storing section from the master data storing section.

3. The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the client comprises:

a second request transmitting section for transmitting, to the server, a second data acquirement request for requesting acquirement of data on the selected data item when the selected data item is a data item related to data other than the target data in the case in which the data item displayed on the screen by the display control section is selected by the user interface;

a second extracted data receiving section for receiving second target data transmitted from the server in response to the second data acquirement request; and

a second display control section for displaying the second target data received by the second extracted data receiving section and stored in the local data storing section by the data storing section in a predetermined mode on the screen, and

the server comprises;

a second request receiving section for receiving the second data acquirement request transmitted from the client;

a second data extracting section for extracting the second target data coinciding with the second data acquirement request from the master data storing section; and

a second extracted data transmitting section for transmitting, to the client, the second target data extracted by the second data extracting section.

4. The data processing system according to claim 3, wherein the second data extracting section extracts, as the second target data from the master data storing section, any of the data on the data item selected by the user interface from which overlap is eliminated in response to the second data acquirement request, and

the second display control section preview displays data corresponding to the data item selected by the user interface using the second target data stored in the local data storing section.

5. The data processing system according to claim 4, wherein the second data extracting section extracts, as the second target data from the master data storing section, any of the data on the data item selected by the user interface from which overlap is eliminated, and a number of data which can be preview displayed on a screen without scroll by the second display control section in response to the second data acquirement request.

6. The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the display control section displays the target data stored in the local data storing section in the selectable mode by a user interface on the screen, and displays only the selected target data and other target data stored in the same row on the master data storing section in a continuous selectable mode by a user interface on the screen when any of the target data displayed on the screen is selected by the user interface.

7. A server connected to a client through a network for downloading data stored in a master data storing section to the client in response to a request given from the client, comprising:

a request receiving section for receiving a data acquirement request transmitted from the client;

a data extracting section for extracting target data coinciding with the data acquirement request from the master data storing section and extracting data items related to the target data and the other data from the master data storing section; and

an extracted data transmitting section for transmitting, to the client, the target data and the data items extracted by the data extracting section.

8. A client connected to a server through a network for enabling downloading of data stored in a master data storing section provided in the server from the server to carry out desirable data processing, comprising:

a request transmitting section for transmitting a data acquirement request to the server;

an extracted data receiving section for receiving, from the server, data to be extracted from the master data storing section in the server in response to the data acquirement request, and target data coinciding with the data acquirement request, and data items related to the target data and the other data;

a data storing section for storing, in a local data storing section, the target data and the data items received by the extracted data receiving section; and

a display control section for displaying the target data and the data items stored in the local data storing section in a selectable mode by a user interface on a screen.

9. A computer readable program for managing data used in a server in a client and server type data processing system having a structure in which a client and the server are connected through a network, data stored in a master data storing section provided in the server is downloaded to the client, and desirable data processing can be carried out by the client, and serving to cause a computer to function as:

request receiving means for receiving a data acquirement request transmitted from the client;

data extracting means for extracting target data coinciding with the data acquirement request from the master data storing section and extracting data items related to the target data and the other data from the master data storing section; and

extracted data transmitting means for transmitting, to the client, the target data and the data items extracted by the data extracting means.

10. A computer readable program for managing data used in a client in a client and server type data processing system having a structure in which the client and a server are connected through a network, data stored in a master data storing section provided in the server is downloaded to the client, and desirable data processing can be carried out by the client, and serving to cause a computer to function as:

request transmitting means for transmitting a data acquirement request to the server;

extracted data receiving means for receiving, from the server, data to be extracted from the master data storing section in the server in response to the data acquirement request, and target data coinciding with the data acquirement request, and data items related to the target data and the other data;

data storing means for storing, in a local data storing section, the target data and the data items received by the extracted data receiving means; and

display control means for displaying the target data and the data items stored in the local data storing section in a selectable mode by a user interface on a screen.
