ABSTRACT:
An information server system is capable of optimization of multimedia data to be received from an information server depending upon transmission performance of a terminal for improving transmission efficiency and operability. The information server system is provided with an agent server as a gateway between a relatively low speed network, to which a terminal is connected, and a network connected to an information server, in which multimedia information forming one screen is divided into one or more image blocks and each block is transmitted therefrom with adding data amount and preference of thinning. The agent server is responsive to a demand for obtaining data from the terminal to the information server, determining thinning amount of data on the basis of the data amount and preference of thinning of respective blocks in the screen, added to the multimedia data from the information server depending upon transmission performance of the terminal.
