Description

従来の同期システムにおいて、サーバアプリケーションのバージョンとクライアントアプリケーションのバージョンとが相違していると、一方のデバイスで利用できる新規機能が他方のデバイスで利用できない場合がある。また、このような場合、ユーザはサーバアプリケーションのバージョンとクライアントアプリケーションのバージョンとの不整合により新規機能が利用できない状態であることを把握することができない。
例えば、同期システムによりサーバ・クライアント間で認証ユーザのユーザ名・パスワード等の認証ユーザ情報を同期する機能を提供していたとする。同期システムのアプリケーションをバージョンアップすると、認証ユーザ情報に加え、ユーザがカスタマイズしたアイコン情報が同期可能となった場合、クライアント側のアプリケーションを先行してバージョンアップすると上述したような課題が発生する。
より具体的には、サーバアプリケーションは認証ユーザの認証ユーザ情報のみ同期可能であるため、最新バージョンのクライアントアプリケーションからのアイコン情報を同期することができない。
本発明は、サーバ装置とクライアント装置とのプラットフォームのバージョンアップが同時に行われない構成であっても、サーバ装置のプラットフォームのバージョンアップを促すことを可能とする。 In the conventional synchronization system, if the version of the server application is different from the version of the client application, a new function that can be used in one device may not be used in the other device. In such a case, the user cannot grasp that the new function cannot be used due to inconsistency between the version of the server application and the version of the client application.
For example, assume that the synchronization system provides a function for synchronizing authenticated user information such as the user name and password of the authenticated user between the server and the client. When the application of the synchronization system is upgraded, when the icon information customized by the user can be synchronized in addition to the authenticated user information, the above-described problem occurs when the client-side application is upgraded in advance.
More specifically, since the server application can synchronize only the authenticated user information of the authenticated user, the icon information from the latest version of the client application cannot be synchronized.
The present invention makes it possible to prompt the upgrade of the platform of the server device even if the platform upgrade of the server device and the client device is not performed at the same time.

本発明は、サーバ装置であって、ネットワークを介して接続された複数のクライアント装置で共有する設定値を管理する管理手段と、前記複数のクライアント装置のうちの一のクライアント装置のプラットフォームのバージョンが前記サーバ装置のプラットフォームのバージョンよりも新しい場合、前記サーバ装置のプラットフォームのバージョンをより新しいバージョンにすることを促す情報を出力する出力手段と、を有する。 The present invention is a server device, and includes a management unit that manages setting values shared by a plurality of client devices connected via a network, and a platform version of one of the plurality of client devices. the newer than the platform versions of the server apparatus, and an output means for outputting information urging to the platform version of the server device to a newer version.

本発明によれば、サーバ装置とクライアント装置とのプラットフォームのバージョンアップが同時に行われない構成であっても、サーバ装置のプラットフォームのバージョンアップを促すことができる。 According to the present invention, be configured such that the platform of the upgrading of the server device and the client device are not performed simultaneously, it is possible to prompt the platform upgrading of the server.

Claims

A server device,
Management means for managing setting values shared by a plurality of client devices connected via a network;
If the platform version of one of the plurality of client devices is newer than the platform version of the server device, an output that outputs information that prompts the server device platform version to be a newer version Means,
A server device.

Further comprising determination means for determining a new or not than platform version of the platform versions the server device according to one of the client devices of the plurality of client devices,
If the determination means determines that the platform version of one of the plurality of client devices is newer than the platform version of the server device, the output means determines the platform version of the server device. The server device according to claim 1, wherein information that prompts a newer version is output.

A receiving unit configured to receive device configuration information of the client device from one of the plurality of client devices;
The determination unit, the server apparatus according to claim 2, wherein determining said any new or not than platform version of the platform version of the client device and the server device contained in the device configuration information.

The server device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the output unit displays information for prompting the platform version of the server device to be a newer version on a screen.

Wherein the plurality of newer than platform version of the platform versions the server device of the one client device of the client device, wherein for one of the client device, indicating that it is impossible to start sharing settings 5. The server apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising response means for responding to an error.

6. The server device according to claim 1, further comprising: a transmission unit configured to transmit a setting value sharing process execution request to the plurality of client devices when a version of the platform of the server device is upgraded. .

An information processing method executed by a server device,
A management step for managing setting values shared by a plurality of client devices connected via a network;
If the platform version of one of the plurality of client devices is newer than the platform version of the server device, an output that outputs information that prompts the server device platform version to be a newer version Steps,
An information processing method including:

The program for functioning a computer as each means of the server apparatus in any one of Claims 1 thru | or 6.
