Abstract
In an information processing system in which a server supplying document data and a client requesting the server to transfer the document data are connected via a network, the server assigns priorities to respective data constituting the document data. When the client requesting the transfer of a particular document datum detects the presence of a plurality of data embedded in the document data or linked to the document data, the client further requests the transfer of a plurality of such data. Upon receipt of the request for the transfer of a plurality of data, the server transfers the respective data in order of precedence, starting with a datum with the highest priority among the data. This enables the client to obtain data with higher priorities sooner. Further, even if a line is disconnected in the middle of transfer, the amount of data that must be reread by restoring the line connection can be minimized.
