ABSTRACT:
An agent accessory tool which enables integration of a Web-type application operating within a browser area and general application operating outside browser area is provided. The agent accessory tool includes an agent program interlocking by HTTP incorporated in a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as PC) of each of a plurality of clients, and a Web server having a CGI interface for executing communication software and an external application of the HTTP concerned to each client PC through a communication line. In this agent accessory tool interlocking with the integrated application on the Web server by the HTTP, the agent program accesses various data of a CGI program through the Web server under input conditions, and music and images to each client. When, as a result, the data are updated from previous access data or in conformity to predetermined conditions, an accessory tool including an avatar (digital actor) is caused to appear on the display of the PC of the client, and is also caused to conduct a predetermined action/reaction so as to transmit the existence of information, the non-conformity to the predetermined conditions, and music and images to each client. As a result, the agent accessory tool operates integrally with the Web application by accessing the Web server, without booting the browser software.
