Reuse of information previously received over the Internet, uses proxy cache to hold information that is likely to be accessed again along with an index for quick access to the information

摘要

The information reuse system uses a proxy cache (10) as an intermediate storage. A control unit (20) ensures the proxy cache stores and indexes information that meets certain criteria, for example objects above a certain size, autonomous easily reused objects or objects consistent with the user's interests. Files of links (32) to the stored objects are created, and these files are indexed.
