Information servicing method, recording medium recording with programs for realizing the method, and information servicing system
First Claim
1. An information servicing method for communicating server and a client terminal through a network comprising:
- under control of said client terminal, deciding whether an idle time with no user input has elapsed for a predetermined time period;
switching a prevailing processing to a background processing, when it is decided that the idle time has elapsed for the predetermined time period, and each time the prevailing processing becomes background processing transmitting personal information comprising user preference data and a daily schedule, registered in advance, to the server; and
displaying an answer corresponding to the transmitted personal information, when an answer is received from the server, and under control of the sever, receiving personal information from the client terminal;
selecting push information, correlating one of directly and indirectly to a preference of the user indicated by the daily schedule collecting the selected push information through the network; and
transmitting collected push information as the answer to the client terminal.

Abstract
To provide information beneficial for a user, with proper contents. Each client starts a screen saver when a user input has been idle for a predetermined time period. Personal information is transmitted at the start to a push server by a push demand program. The push server has an information database with push information of different categories. The push server selects the appropriate push information when it receives personal information in response to the push demand from the client. The selected push information is sent from the push server to the client that demanded the push information, to be displayed on a display device when the screen saver is operating.

11. A computer-readable recording medium storing a program and when executed by a computer for realizing a method for communicating information between a server and a client terminal through a network,
wherein the computer is programmed: -
under control of the client terminal, to decide whether an idle time with no user input has elapsed for a predetermined time period;
to switch a prevailing processing to a background processing, when it is decided that the idle time with no user input has elapsed for the predetermined time period, and each time the prevailing processing becomes background processing to transmit personal information comprising user preference data and a daily schedule; and
to display an answer corresponding to the transmitted personal information, when the answer is received from the server, and under control of the server, to receive personal information from the client terminal;
to select push information correlating one of directly and indirectly to a preference of the user indicated by the daily schedule to collect selected push information through the network; and
to transmit the collected push information as an answer to the client terminal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An information servicing system for communicating information between a server and a client terminal through a network, wherein the client terminal comprises:
-
a determining device that determines whether a user input has been idle for a predetermined time period;
a transmission device that switches a prevailing processing to a background processing, when said determining device determines that said user input has been idle for said predetermined time period, said transmission device further transmitting personal information comprising user preference data and a daily schedule, registered in advance, to said server each time the prevailing processing becomes background processing; and
a display device that displays an answer corresponding to said transmitted personal information, when said answer is received from said server, and wherein said server comprises;
a receiver that receives personal information from the client terminal a selector that selects push information correlated to a preference of the user indicated by the daily schedule;
a collection device that collects said push information selected by said selector, through said network; and
an answering device that transmits said push information collected by said collection means, as an answer to said client terminal. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
