Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device and method, a recording medium and a manufacturing method thereof, and in particular to an information processing device and method, a recording medium and a method for facilitating a series of user operations up to acquisition of content and improving the response of a user terminal to the user operations. its method of manufacture. Background technique [0002] Recently, the Internet has spread widely. As a result, the user connects the terminal owned by the user to the Internet as a client, and can obtain and use various contents transmitted from the server via the Internet. [0003] There are already many such contents delivered via the Internet at present, and it is expected that the number will continue to increase in the future. In addition, the places where they are installed (transmitters) are also scattered in various places on the Internet. [0004] Therefore, the function ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0017] That is, the so-called first problem is that since the communication between the browser 10 and the server 2 is always performed, the responsiveness of the client 1 to the user's instruction operation is poor.

Especially when communicating with server 2 in the access concentration, this 1st problem exists significantly
