System for controlling information processing frequency at each stage in a loop based on receiver's updated request information
First Claim
1. A method for interchanging information in which a receiving side, which receives information, sends to a sending side, which keeps said information, a request for transmission of said information through a communication system, said sending side, in response to said request, sends said receiving side said information through said communication system, and said receiving side receives said information which has been sent and displays said information in the form of an image with or without voice, on the assumption that generation of said request in said receiving side is a preliminary processing step and said displaying at said receiving side is a final processing step, there is at least one intermediate processing step in at least any of said receiving side, said sending side, and said communication system, between said preliminary processing step and said final processing step, the route along which an ensuing processing step is executed by using the result of a preceding processing step constitutes a loop, and the number of times for updating processing within a unit time is a frequency, wherein said method comprises:
- repeatedly updating said request and said loop, andkeeping the frequency of at least one step before the preceding processing step from said final stage processing step lower than a permissible frequency for which said final stage processing step has been confirmed.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for interchanging contents information and a system for interchanging contents information. A loop that a receiving side CL1 sends a request signal CL1a carrying position data pd to a sending side SV1 through a communication system NT, the sending side SV1 sends back contents information corresponding thereto as a sending signal SV1a, and the receiving side CL1 displays the signal is repetitively updated and performed at a high frequency by repetitively updating and sending the position data pd at a high frequency. Since the achievable frequency of repetitive updating and performing the loop varies by the combination of receiving side CL1, communication system NT, and sending side SV1, the achievable maximum frequency mxfQ for each loop is determined from a given table or by actual measurement. A standard frequency stfQ which does not exceed the thus determined frequency is set, the processes along the loop are performed at the standard frequency stfQ or a lower frequency. As a result, power consumption is reduced and communication load is mitigated.

1. A method for interchanging information in which a receiving side, which receives information, sends to a sending side, which keeps said information, a request for transmission of said information through a communication system, said sending side, in response to said request, sends said receiving side said information through said communication system, and said receiving side receives said information which has been sent and displays said information in the form of an image with or without voice, on the assumption that generation of said request in said receiving side is a preliminary processing step and said displaying at said receiving side is a final processing step, there is at least one intermediate processing step in at least any of said receiving side, said sending side, and said communication system, between said preliminary processing step and said final processing step, the route along which an ensuing processing step is executed by using the result of a preceding processing step constitutes a loop, and the number of times for updating processing within a unit time is a frequency, wherein said method comprises:
-
repeatedly updating said request and said loop, and keeping the frequency of at least one step before the preceding processing step from said final stage processing step lower than a permissible frequency for which said final stage processing step has been confirmed. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A method for interchanging information in which a receiving side, which receives arbitrary information, sends to a sending side, which keeps said information, a request for transmission of said information through a communication system, said sending side, in response to said request, sends said receiving side the information through said communication system, and said receiving side receives said information which has been sent and displays said information in the form of an image with or without voice, on the assumption that generation of said request in said receiving side is a preliminary processing step and said displaying in said receiving side is a final processing step, there is at least one intermediate processing step in at least any of said receiving side, said sending side, and said communication system, between said preliminary processing step and said final processing step, the route along which an ensuing processing step is executed by using the result of a preceding processing step constitutes a loop, and the number of times for said loop to repeatedly update within a unit time is a frequency, and the maximum permissible times for repeated updating of the said loop in a unit time is a maximum frequency, wherein said method comprises:
repeating the preceding processing step at an arbitrary frequency not exceeding said maximum frequency when repeatedly updating said request and repeatedly updating said loop. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
- 10. A method for interchanging information in which a receiving side, which receives information, sends to a sending side, which keeps said information, a request for transmission of said information through a communication system, said sending side, in response to said request, sends said receiving side said information through a communication system, and said receiving side receives said information which has been sent and displays said information in the form of an image with or without voice, wherein said method is characterized in that said request is composed of arbitrary position data and time data to specify arbitrary time and said information possesses said image with or without voice associated with said position data and said time data, with said image being so constructed as to be displayed in frame units, wherein said reQuest is repeatedly updated.
- 12. A method for interchanging information in which a receiving side, which receives information, sends to a sending side, which keeps said information, a request for transmission of said information through a communication system, said sending side, in response to said request, sends said receiving side the information though a communication system, and said receiving side receives said information which has been sent and displays said information in the form of an image with or without voice, wherein said method is characterized in that said request is composed of arbitrary position data, viewing direction data indicating an arbitrary direction as said position, and time data to specific arbitrary time, and said information possesses said image with or without voice associated with said position data, said viewing direction data, and said time data, with said image being constructed as to be displayed in frame units, wherein said reciuest is repeatedly updated.
