Description

This invention relates to an information system, etc., that incorporates a technology to reduce the amount of data transmitted between a server and multiple clients. Conventionally, in a game system that provides a game playable on multiple user terminals accessible via a network, there existed a game system characterized by including a bookmark processing unit that registers any screen within the game as a bookmark, the bookmark processing unit assigning labels to the screens registered as bookmarks, and generating a bookmark screen that displays a list of the registered bookmarks and the labels assigned to them in association (see Patent Document 1).

Note that components denoted by the same reference numerals in the embodiments perform similar operations, and therefore, further explanation may be omitted. (Embodiment 1) In this embodiment, we will describe an information system having a service server and four or more terminal devices forming a group, wherein the four or more terminal devices are divided into two or more groups, and information is transmitted from the service server to a representative terminal representing each group, and said information is transmitted from the representative terminal to sub-terminals which are other terminal devices of the same group. Furthermore, this embodiment describes an information system in which some information is transmitted from the service server to a representative terminal, and this information is then transmitted to one or more sub-terminals via the representative terminal, while other information is transmitted directly from the service server to the sub-terminals. Furthermore, in this embodiment, we will describe an information system in which the group has two or more layers. Furthermore, this embodiment describes an information system in which the group's representative terminal changes dynamically. In this embodiment, for example, the representative terminal changes when the representative change conditions are met. Furthermore, this embodiment describes an information system in which the encryption key used when encrypting information sent by the representative terminal to the service server is different from the encryption key used when encrypting information sent by the representative terminal to sub-terminals. In this specification, information X being associated with information Y means that information Y can be retrieved from information X, or information X can be retrieved from information Y, and the method of association is irrelevant. Information X and information Y may be linked, exist in the same buffer, information X may be contained within information Y, or information Y may be contained within information X, etc. Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram of information system A in this embodiment. Information system A comprises a service server 1 and four or more terminal devices. The four or more terminal devices comprise one or more representative terminals 2 and two or more sub-terminals 3. The four or more terminal devices may also comprise one or more second sub-terminals 4. In other words, information system A comprises a service server 1, one or more representative terminals 2, and two or more sub-terminals 3. Information system A may further comprise one or more second sub-terminals 4. Service Server 1 is a server that provides services to terminal devices. In particular, Service Server 1 is a server that provides services to Representative Terminal 2. To provide services to terminal devices, Service Server 1 transmits information to Representative Terminal 2. Note that this information may also be instructions. In other words, the information includes data, instructions, or a combination of data and instructions. The service provided by service server 1 is, for example, a game. That is, users of terminal devices can play games using service server 1. However, the services that service server 1 provides to terminal devices are not limited to games. A terminal device is a device that receives services. Typically, a terminal device receives services from service server 1. A terminal device is typically a device used by a user. A terminal device can be a representative terminal 2, a sub-terminal 3, or a second sub-terminal 4. In information system A, four or more terminal devices are grouped into two or more groups.
