Abstract:
1. An observation display method for dynamically changing on an observation monitor screen an object symbol or image related to object information to be observed on a computer network, comprising the steps of: at a communication terminal for monitoring on the computer network, providing an observation monitor screen; preparing observation display information to be displayed on the observation monitor screen in which said object symbol or image related to object information to be observed is included; and accessing a communication terminals for observation each of which communicates using its own protocol via the computer network to transmit and preset a predetermined push request thereto, based on connection setting information in which a communication address of the communication terminal for observation, a communication protocol and object information to be observed are at least specified per communication terminal for observation, the push request registering a predetermined event on the object information and requiring thereto a reply of an event response notice, wherein: at each of the communication terminals for observation accessing the communication terminal for monitor and replying thereto the object information specified by the push request as the event response notice, when the predetermined event occurs; and at the communication terminal for monitor, further decoding the event response whenever the event response notice is received from any of the communication terminals for observation, so that the object symbol or image is dynamically changed depending on the change in the object information related to the symbol or the image received from said any of the communication terminals for observation.
