Abstract

See full text

A server computer selects code updates to download to a client computer as follows. The server computer identifies code updates which are consistent with basic system characteristics of the client computer. Then, the server computer sends to the client computer one or more 'recognizer' programs which execute in the client computer to determine whether the client computer has a version other than a current version of the consistent code updates. The client sends the results to the server computer which generates a list of those code updates which are consistent with the basic system characteristics, and represent programs that exist on the client computer for which an update would be appropriate. The server computer also identifies new data which is consistent with attributes of a user of the client computer. Then, the server computer sends to the client computer one or more recognizer programs which execute in the client computer to determine whether the client computer already has the consistent new data. The client sends the results to the server computer which generates a list of that new data which is consistent with the user attributes and not currently resident in the client computer.
