The first client-server structure 34 of the user terminal 18-2 includes a server 34-1 and a client 34-2. The first client server structure 36 of the user terminal 184 includes a * server 3 6-1, a first client 36-2 ', and a second client 36-3. The user terminal 18_2 may further include a first storage body 40 and a first storage body 42. In one embodiment of the present invention, the first client-server structures 24 and 34 and the first server 12-1 of the system server 12 communicate with each other using an interversion protocol (IVP). IVP includes a format for analyzing received messages such as queries in network communications. Other protocols that support this function can also be used in the present invention to replace IVP. The second clients 26-3 and 36-3 and the second server 12-2 of the system server 12 communicate with each other through a file transfer protocol (FTP). FTP is a typical protocol that supports file transfers between terminals. The servers 26-1 and 36-1 and the first clients 26-2 and 36-2 communicate with each other through a file transfer assistant protocol (FTAP) of a FTP sub-protocol. A main program installed in the user terminal 18-1, such as the agent program 28, provides a service to start and read the configuration file, and reads the current installation in the user terminal 18-1 Software version. Next through the client 24-2, the agent program 28 will request the first server 12-1 to provide a list of updated software versions, such as an upgraded version of the operating system missing from the user terminal 18-1. If the request shows that there is no missing upgrade version, the agent 28 will register with the first server 12-1 through the customer 24-2 who requested to update the software version list 11-1220227 10496twf.doc / 006. If the request shows that at least one update software version is missing, the first server 12-1 next sends a list of missing update software versions in the following format. __ P2P_____ 1 = (458068) 0.0.1.1; (272278) 0.0.1.2; __ 2 = (301257) 0.0.0.8; (445876) 0.0.0.9; __ where P2P represents a peer-to-peer data transmission That is, the updated software version existing in a user terminal different from the requested user terminal will be described in detail below. Next, the agent program 28 of the user terminal 18 · 1 analyzes the list sent by the first servo server 12-2 in the form shown in the first table. Table 1 Number Software Name SysA SysA SysB SysB Version 0.0.1.1 0.0.1.2 0.0.0.8 0.0.0.9 File Name SysA-0.0.1.1.zip SysA-0.0.1.2.zip SysB-0.0.0 · 8.zip SysB- 0.0.0.9.zip size (bytes) 458068 272278 301257 445876 Download method FTP P2P FTP P2P Remote server address According to table 1, the user terminal 18-1 lacks four updated software 12 1220227 10496twf.doc / 006 Versions, including SysA-0.0.1.1, SysA-0.0.1.2, SysB-0.0.0.8, and SysB-0.0.0.9. Table 1 is displayed in these four updated software versions at the same time, because it may exist in other user terminals ’, it is recommended to use P2P to download the SysA-0.0.1.2.zip and SysB-0.0.0.9.zip files. The other two files, SysA-O.O.l.l.zip and SysB-0.0.0.8.zip, are recommended to use the system preset FTP download. In this particular embodiment, the SysA-0.0.1.2.zip and SysB-0.0.0.9.zip files are upgraded versions of the SysA-O.O.l.l.zip and SysB-0.0.0.8.zip files, respectively. The user terminal 18-1 then processes the FTP download. The second client 26-3 in the second client-server structure 26 of the user terminal 18-1 will receive the SysA-0.0.1.l.zip and SysB downloaded from the second server 12-2 via FTP -0.0.0.8.Z1p file. To determine whether the downloaded SysA-O.O.l.l.zip and SysB-0.0.0.8.Z1p compressed files (zipped files) are correct, a file size check and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) check are performed next. Once all FTP download actions are completed, the user terminal 18-1 will transmit a query to the subnet including the user terminal 18-1 through the client 24-2 to query which one of the subnets is used. This terminal has at least one of the download files SysA-0.0.1.2.zip and SysB-0.0.0.9.zip. This query will be received by servers in the first client-server structure of other user terminals in the same subnet. Assuming that the user terminal 18_2 has the file SysA-0.0.1.2.Z1p, the server 34.1 will receive the query and respond to its user's terminal 18-1 with its Internet protocol (IP) address. The other clients of the first client-server structure of other user terminals that provided the file SysA_0.0.1.2.zip 13 10496twf.doc / 006 will provide their addresses to the user terminal 18-1. As a result, after the query was disseminated, the client 24-2 would provide a reference list as described below to the agent program 28, indicating that the file SysA- 0.0.1 · 2 · ζίρ exists at the following address. __ 172.16.239.203; 172.16.239.237; 172.16.239.5; _ In response to this reference list, for example, agent 28 will use the first address 172.16.239.203 as a remote server for downloading the SysA'0.0.1.2.zip file Device address. Similarly, in response to the reference list, for example, the user terminal 18-1 will download the SysB-0.0.0.9.zip file using at least one address like 172.16.239.5. These two addresses, 172.16.239.203 and 172.16.239.5, will be entered into the remote server address field of the first table to form the second table. Table 2 Number Software Name SysA SysA SysB SysB Version 0.0.1.1 0.0.1.2 0.0.0.8 0.0.0.9 File Name SysA-0.0.1.1.zip SysA-0.0.1.2.zip SysB-0.0.0.8.zip SysB0.0. 0.9.zip size (bytes) 458068 272278 301257 445876 Download method FTP P2P FTP P2P Remote server address 172.16. 239.203 172.16. 239.5 1220227 10496twf. Doc / 006 Next, the second client of user terminal 18-1 -The first client 26-2 in the server structure 26 will receive the files SysA-0.0.1.2 · Z1ρ and SysB-0.0.0.9 downloaded from the servers at 72.16.239.203 and 172.16.239.5 respectively. zip. In an embodiment of the present invention, a file size check and a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) check are performed on the downloaded compressed files SysA-0.0.1.2.zip and SysB-0.0.0.9.zip to determine whether the files are correct . If P2P download fails, FTP download is used next to get a target file from the system server. If an error is found during the P2P download process, the second client-server structure 26 will roll back and automatically start the P2P download after a predetermined time period, such as 10 minutes. Once all P2P downloads are completed, the second client-server structure 26 will upgrade the previous registrations by upgrading the software version list currently installed in the user terminal 18-1 so that when the server 24-1 receives the After the query propagated by other user terminals in the same subnet, the server 26-1 can download a specific updated software version to the other user terminals. Next, the agent program 28 registers the version upgrade with the first server 12-1 via the client 24-2. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first server 12-1 next sends a piece of information about the time interval (e.g., one hour) to the agent program 28 to perform the version upgrade action. When the time interval is reached, the agent 28 will start processing again. FIG. 3 shows a flowchart for explaining the steps of a data control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 15 1220227 10496twf.doc / 006. Referring to FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps: First, in step 51, a system server and a subnet including a plurality of user terminals are provided. Next, in step 53, update software versions are provided to the system server, and the updated software versions are then installed in the user terminals to facilitate network communication. In step 55, when a predetermined time interval for the software version upgrade is reached, one of the user terminals is selected. Next, in step 57, the selected user terminal asks the system server for a list of updated software versions that are missing in the selected user terminal. Next, in step 59, it is determined whether the selected user terminal needs to upgrade the software. In other words, if the request in step 57 shows that there is no lack of an updated software version, then in step 61, the selected user terminal is registered in a system server requesting the missing software version. If it is requested to show that at least one update software version is missing, the method proceeds to step 63 to determine whether the remaining user terminals not selected in step 55 contain any missing update software versions. If no unselected user terminal contains the missing updated software version, then in step 65, the selected user terminal receives the missing updated software version from the system server. If any unselected user terminal contains the missing update software version, then in step 67, the selected user terminal receives the missing update from one of the unselected user terminals. Software version. Next, in step 69, the selected user terminal is upgraded with the received missing updated software version, and will upgrade the list of software versions currently installed in 16 1220227 10496twf.doc / 006. Next, in step 61, the selected user terminal is registered in a system server requesting the missing software version.
