Abstract
A method for organizing frames of data into queues for prioritized transmission is disclosed. Frames in queues can be transmitted to the other computer systems, and the priority of transfer is set according to the type of data. The frame currently being viewed is provided with a high priority. If the user changes frame before the first frame of data has been completely transmitted, the transmission of the first frame will be suspended and the second frame of data will begin transfer even though the information in the first frame has not been completely transferred. When the transmission of the second frame of data has been completed and if there are no other interruptions, the transmission of the first frame of data will resume. If the user switches back to the first frame of data before the transmission of the second frame is completed, the transmission of the second frame will be suspended and placed in a different priority queue. The first frame of data will resume transmission because it is now assigned to a higher priority.
