Abstract
Data transmission system and methods in which data is automatically selected based upon, the processing ability of a client and the condition of a data transmission line connecting a server and the client. A terminal attribute unit that collects ability characteristics of the client and a line controller that collects the transmission rate of the data transmission line are provided in the server. A data attribute provider provides a proper data type and data amount of transmitting data in a profile based upon the collected information about the client. A data transmission agent refers to a correspondence table and selects data having a proper data amount. Then, the data transmission agent transmits the selected data to the client.
