Abstract
An information transmission method and device for preventing a client from getting an impression that they are being kept waiting for a response, even when the go response contains a large amount of data. A search request is made from an information communication system of a vehicle, an information providing center receives the request, and searches a database to obtain a search result. If the search result contains data of more than one data type such as texts and images, a data group is formed for each data type and the amount of data for each data group is calculated. Transmission order is determined by arranging the data groups in an ascending order of data amount from smallest to largest. The transmission order is further determined for each data group by arranging data in an ascending order from smallest to largest, and data is transmitted to the vehicle in this order.
