Automatic data download system and method

摘要

An automatic data download system and method for downloading data from a remote server (3) to a local database (20) via a communications network (8). The automatic data download system checks the local database before downloading required data from the remote server, and downloads only the data that are not stored in the local database. The automatic data download system includes a data check unit (11) installed in a client computer (1) which is electronically connected with the local database for checking data stored in the local database against data required to be downloaded; a data download unit (12) installed in the client computer for automatically downloading data that are required to be downloaded and that are not already stored in the local database; and a recording unit (13) installed in the client computer for recording data still not downloaded or not successfully downloaded.
