2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, an information display system having one information input device and a plurality of display devices connected to the information input device and subjected to display control has been developed in consideration of the convenience of managing and grasping displayed information. Many have been adopted.
The financial information display system is one of the information display systems, and will be described below by way of example.

As shown in FIG. 7, a conventional financial information display system generally uses a host personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as an information input device) installed in a management center of a head office.
A host computer 21 is connected to the host computer 21 via a modem 22, a public line 23, and a modem 24.
The display device 25 includes a display device 25 installed and subjected to display control by the host personal computer 21.

[0004] A display device 25 installed on the branch side is used.
Host computer 21 on the head office side
After deciding the information of the contents to be actually displayed,
As described above, the data is transmitted to each display device 25 via the public line 23 and the like, and is displayed under the control of the host personal computer 21.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional financial information display system, the host personal computer 21
Is displayed on each display device 25, the content determined on the host personal computer 21 side is displayed on each display device 25 as it is. For example, FIG.
As shown in the display screen of the host personal computer 21, when the information to be displayed on each display device 25 is determined and transmitted in the order from the upper row on the display screen and transmitted, the display device 25 As shown in the display screen, the order from the upper stage and the display pattern are displayed as they are, corresponding to the contents determined on the host personal computer 21 side.

In this case, the order determined by the head office and the contents of the display pattern are uniformly displayed on each display device 25 on the branch side. There was a problem that it was not possible to arbitrarily select or change the order from among the information.

[0007] Therefore, for example, on the branch side, the information of the display pattern which is currently most attracting the attention of the world is displayed on the uppermost display section of the display device 25 to attract the interest of the world and to improve the business results. Even if there is a request for connection, there is a problem that the branch side cannot freely change the order and display pattern to display. In this case, it is conceivable that the host PC 21 transmits the data after rearranging the order and the display pattern. However, in this method, all the display devices 25 on the branch side only display the same information uniformly. However, when the display request is different for each branch, the above problem has not been solved.

The present invention seeks to realize an information display system that can select arbitrary information from input information and display the selected information at a specified display position.
