Abstract
An information acquisition proxy system which conducts mediation for information acquisition between an information accessing terminal and an information distributing server. The system comprises a user authentication section for identifying a user and an information acquisition history managing section for retaining and managing a demand for information acquisition from the information accessing terminal, with the information acquisition history managing section retaining and managing demands in units of users. Also included in the system is an additional information managing section for managing additional information for the demand said information acquisition history managing section manages. With this arrangement, an additional information is added by one user when the user has access to specific information, and hence the user can refer to the additional information at the later information access using a different information accessing terminal, thus allowing effective information access work based upon the previous access situation.
