Abstract
To suitably distribute the load between a client node and a server node in a client-server system, the client node sends a task request signal to the server node in response to input from a user. The server node, upon receiving the task request signal, acquires a CPU load ratio from the operating system and performs the requested task when the CPU load ratio is lower than a preset value to send the result of the task to the client node. Conversely, when the CPU load ratio is higher than the preset value, the server node sends a response signal to the effect that the client node is to execute the requested task. When the client node requests transmission of an application program in response to the response signal from the server, the server node sends an application program for use in performing the requested task to the client node. The client node executes the application program and obtains the result of the task.
