摘要

Data monitoring means adds tag information representing a document conversion method to hyperlink information included in a hypertext type document sent to a user-side device from a server-side application, and sends to the user-side application the hyperlink information to which the tag information is added. When the tag information representing the document conversion method is included in a command to request retrieval which is sent from the user-side application, the data monitoring means converts the document sent from the server- side application as the results of the retrieval in accordance with the document conversion method represented by the tag information and sends the converted document to the user-side application.
