Data-update monitoring in communications network
First Claim
1. A communications terminal connected to a server, in which specific data are stored, via a network, said communications terminal comprising:
- storage means for storing at least part of the specific data as storage data;
access means for accessing said server and receiving at least part of the specific data; and
difference data specifying means for specifying a non-coincident portion of the received data, which does not coincide with the storage data stored in said storage means, as difference data.

Abstract
A user I/F unit 200 transmits an instruction given by a user to an access management unit 100 and displays data on a monitor 76. The access management unit 100 transfers requirements to a communication control unit 300 and a data management unit 400 in response to the instruction from the user, transfers data from a communications host to the data management unit 400, and outputs data from a database 410 to the user I/F unit 200. The data management unit 400 writes data into the database 410 and reads storage data from the database 410 in response to the requirement from the access management unit 100. Data transmitted from the communications host are sorted out according to communication services and stored in the database 410. The communication control unit 300 translates the requirement from the access management unit 100 to a menu number representing each communication service available from the communications host or a command and sends the translated requirement to a communication I/F unit 500. This structure enables input data to be sorted out and stored without any overlap.

19. A communications terminal connected to a server, which can supply communication services, via a network, said communications terminal comprising:
-
storage means for storing information; access means for accessing said server and receiving information transferred from said server; writing means for writing the received information into said storage means; input means for inputting an instruction to participate in a particular communication service; particular communication service start requiring means for requiring said server to start the particular communication service, based on the input instruction; particular communication service stop requiring means for, when said access means receives title information with respect to the particular communication service transferred from said server and said writing means writes the title information into said storage means, requiring said server to stop the particular communication service; reading means for reading the title information from said storage means; and display means for displaying the title information read from said storage means. - View Dependent Claims (20)
