Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement d'informations qui distribue de manière sécurisée des informations de prélecture à un terminal tout en réduisant l'influence sur la communication de données qui requiert des propriétés temps réel élevées. Le dispositif de traitement d'informations comprend : une unité de détermination d'informations de prélecture qui détermine un flux utilisé pour transmettre ultérieurement des informations de prélecture à un terminal d'après une demande d'acquisition d'informations reçue du terminal, détermine, en tant qu'informations de prélecture, le contenu d'un serveur qui est identique à une cible de la demande d'acquisition d'informations ou à une source d'une réponse d'après la demande d'acquisition d'informations ou la réponse du serveur, et définit une priorité de prélecture, qui est une priorité de transmission des informations de prélecture au terminal, comme inférieure à une priorité prédéterminée des informations qui requièrent des propriétés temps réel élevées ; une unité de notification de prélecture qui transmet au terminal une notification de prélecture comprenant un identifiant de flux représentant le flux et un identifiant d'informations de prélecture représentant les informations de prélecture ; une unité d'acquisition d'informations de prélecture qui acquiert des informations de prélecture à partir du serveur ; et une unité de transfert d'informations de prélecture qui transmet les informations de prélecture acquises au terminal selon la priorité de prélecture par le biais du flux notifié par la notification de prélecture.
