Abstract

L'invention concerne un système client serveur dans un appareil serveur initial qui stocke des données et des informations d'index des données ; un appareil serveur cache qui stocke les informations d'index reçues de l'appareil serveur initial, les informations indicatives cache indiquant que la source de transmission des informations d'index est l'appareil serveur cache et des informations d'identification du serveur initial qui identifient l'appareil serveur initial ayant les données indiquées dans les informations d'index ; un appareil client qui identifie, sur la base des informations indicatives cache reçues à partir de l'appareil serveur cache, la source de transmission des informations d'index et qui détermine en outre, sur la base des informations indicatives cache et des informations d'identification du serveur initial reçues à partir de l'appareil serveur cache, une activation de l'appareil serveur initial ayant les données indiquées dans les informations d'index. Lorsque l'on détermine que l'appareil serveur initial a été activé, l'appareil client sélectionne les informations d'index reçues à partir de l'appareil serveur initial.
