Claim:
An event-driven information display system comprising: a client; and a server connected to said client through an electric communication line; wherein said client receives display information corresponding to an event generated therein from said server through said electric communication line for display, and wherein said client includes: an event detecting section detecting the generation of an event; a storage section storing events and pieces of display information by correlating them with respect to each other with correlation information, and an on-line condition determining section determining whether said client is on-line or off-line, wherein when said on-line condition determining section determines that said client is on-line, said client transmits to said server correlation information that is defined corresponding to said event detected by said event detecting section without reading out the previously received display information from said storage section, and receives new display information sent from said server based on said correlation information to display it, and wherein when said on-line condition determining section determines that said client is off-line, said client reads out from said storage section the previously received display information correlated to an event detected by said event detecting section using said correlation information and displays said display information thus read out, and wherein said server includes a display information storage section storing display information defined corresponding to said related information, reads out from said display information storage section display information corresponding to said related information sent from said client, and transmits it to said client so that said display information sent from said server is displayed at said client.
