Abstract
A home page updating notification apparatus is provided for avoiding useless access operations for accessing the same content of home page several times, so that updated necessary information opened in home pages can be effectively acquired. A home page formed in a home page forming apparatus and then transferred is written into a home page storage portion of a memory, so that updating of this home page is detected. When updating of this home page is detected, a document of an electronic mail, and an address of a transmission destination of this electronic mail are read which have been previously stored. Then, an electronic mail is formed based on the read document and the read address, and the formed electronic mail is transmitted to an address of a transmission destination. As a result, a user of a terminal allocated to this address can be notified by such a fact that the home page is updated by observing the electronic mail.
