LINK PRESENTATION AND DATA TRANSFER

摘要

A computer-implemented data access method, that may be implemented in a computer program residing on a computer-readable medium, includes receiving data at a computer from another computer prior to a user request for the data, storing the received data at the computer, and presenting a link associated with the received data using a distinguishing characteristic that differentiates the link from links to data stored only at remote computer systems. A computer system can include an interface operatively coupled to a communications link to exchange data with another computer, a display device for the presentation of data to a user, an input device to receive a user request, a memory storing executable instructions, and a processor. The processor can retrieve executable instructions from the memory to carry out aspects of the method.
