ABSTRACT:
The data providing device has a request input means for receiving data request commands from data request sections of a plurality of data request devices, a request-command storing section for storing the data request commands by grouping them for each data request section of each data request device, a data generating section for generating data in accordance with the data request commands, a data transmitting section for transmitting the data generated by the data generating section to the data request sections of the data request devices over a network, and a request-command sequencing control section for transferring the data request commands, received from the respective data request devices and stored in the request-command storing section, to the data generating section one command at a time at predetermined intervals of time in the order in which the requests were received.
