Abstract
A service provision method and system, by which a stable access condition can be held to the utmost, losses of service providing chances for users can be suppressed to the least and a stable service can be provided via a network are provided. When an access request is sent from a user to a service providing server and the accessable number exceeds, the server informs information of the number of accesses at that time to the user without immediately executing the access to said server, updates the information as occasion and connects the user to the server when the server becomes accessable.
Claims18
A service provision method for service provision from a server connected to a client via a network to a user through said client, comprising:
- a first step of, in response to an access request from said client to said server, immediately connecting said client to said server, when it is judged that said server becomes accessable, and suspending said access request and displaying information of the number of accesses to said server on said client, when it is judged that said server does not become accessable;
- a second step of displaying said information of the number of accesses updated in a fixed time interval on said client after displaying said information of the number of accesses at said first step;
- and
- a third step of connecting said client whose access request is suppressed to said server at the time when said server becomes accessable after displaying said information of the number of accesses at said first step.
A service provision method for service provision from a server connected to a client via a network to a user through said clients, comprising:
- a first step in which at the time said client sends an access request to said server, said client is immediately connected to said server, when it is judged that said server becomes accessable, and said access request is suppressed and said client displays said information of the number of accesses of said server, when it is judged that said server does not become accessable;
- a second step in which said client displays said information of the number of accesses updated in a fixed time interval after displaying said information of the number of accesses at said first step;
- and
- a third step in which said client is connected to said server when said server becomes accessable after displaying said information of the number of accesses at said first step.
A service provision system, which includes first, second and third servers connected to a client via a network, for service provision from said third server to a user through said client, wherein:
- said first server, in response to an access request from said client to said third server, immediately connects said client to said third server, when said third server becomes accessable, and connects said client to said second sever, when said third server does not become available;
- and
- said second server displays said information of the number of accesses of said third server on said client, when connected to said client, displays the information of the number of accesses updated in a fixed time interval after that, and connects said client to said third server at the time said third sever becomes accessable.
