Description

  The present invention relates to a browser processing time management method in an Internet system in which a server accepts a request from a client and responds with a processing result after the server performs the processing. In particular, the server transmits the processing result to the client together with the processing result. The present invention relates to a method for checking that timeout occurrence is near by timer monitoring program information operating on a browser.

  Conventionally, as a method of checking the timeout time from when information is sent to a client in the Internet system until the next request is accepted, because the server accepts requests from an unspecified number of clients, timeouts are likely to occur on the server side in advance. It is difficult to check this in real time, and in general, a method is known in which the server side checks the elapsed time from the previous response time at the next request from the client.

However, according to the above-described method, there is a problem in that the client cannot recognize in advance that a timeout has occurred because the client does not know that a timeout has occurred until a request is transmitted to the server.
