Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for reproducing the working states of application programs. SOLUTION: A management server 11 receives a file Z, in which restoration information (information on indicating positions at each window, the names of files under working, etc.), about a plurality of application programs is stored, from a company's terminal 21, and then writes the file Z into the storage area in a restoration information management area 111 identified by a user ID. When the management server 11 receives a request (GET) for reading a file stored in the restoration information management area 111 from a home terminal 31, the management server 11 transfers the file Z in the restoration information management area 111 identified by the user ID to the home terminal 31. The home terminal restores the working states of application programs, which have been set in the company's terminal 21, by using the restoration information in the file Z.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for reproducing a work state of a computer, and more particularly to a transfer and reproduction of a work state between different computers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 13 shows a client / server system for reproducing a working state of a computer. The file server 811 is connected to the upload-side client 821 and the download-side client 831 via a LAN, and has a network OS 813, 822, 832 (for example, Windows 2000 of Microsoft Corporation).

[0005] The uploading client 821 used by the user A is in a working state as shown on a display screen 823 at the time of logoff. Then, when a log-off command is given by the user, the profile A such as environment information (contents and positions of the icons a, b, and c) and the created file is uploaded to the file server 811 and then a log-off process is executed. Upon receiving the profile A, the file server 811 stores the profile A in the area of the user A in the file management area 812.

[0004] Thereafter, the download side client 83
1, when a log-on command is given by the user A, the download side client 831 accesses the file server 811 and checks the identifier of the user A (user I).
D, password, etc.). File server 11
Transmits the environment information and the created file stored in the file management area 812 to the download-side client 931.

[0005] The download-side client 831 executes a process of restoring the upload-side client 821 to a work state at the time of logoff based on the environment information and the like received from the file server 11. This allows
The display screen 833 of the download side client 831 is in the same state as the display screen 823 when the upload side client 823 logs off.

[0006] By using this system, the user A changes the environment set by the user on the upload side client 821 to the download side client 83.
1 can be used continuously.

[0007]

However, the above system has the following problems.

First, since the work of the application program has been completed at the time of logoff, the work state of the application program set on the uploading client cannot be reproduced on the downloading client.

For example, when a plurality of application programs are displayed on the uploading client, the application programs cannot be reproduced on the downloading client while maintaining the display positional relationship between the application programs.

Also, when a web page is displayed on the uploading client, the web page cannot be reproduced on the downloading client.

Further, the work state between applications in which the document editing program operates under the Kana-Kanji input mode of the Japanese front-end processor cannot be reproduced on the download side client.

Second, the uploading client cannot determine the work state that the user intends to reproduce on the downloading client.

An object of the present invention is to provide a work state reproduction system which can solve the above-mentioned problems and reproduce a work state of an application program at a predetermined time.

11, a document editing program, a browser program, Japanese FEP, an operating system (OS), and the like are stored.

3. Flowchart The upload process and the download process of the restoration programs 212 and 312 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D. In the following, the user X (user ID: 1000, password: XA1DCZ) changes the work state shown in FIG.
The case of restoration at 1 is described as an example.

The work state shown in FIG. 5 is a state in which the Japanese FEP 215 is operating in the foreground (foreground), and the document editing program 213 and the browser program 214 are operating in that order. This document editing program 213 operates under the “kana-kanji input” mode of the Japanese FEP 215, and outputs the file “D: / data /
report0303.jtd ". Further, the browser program 214 displays a web page of the URL “http://www.aaa.com/”.

3.1 Upload Process (FIGS. 4A and 4
b, 4c and 1a) First, the user X issues a write command on the company terminal 21 (ST11 in FIG. 4a). In response to this, the CPU 21a
Is based on the restoration program 212, based on each application program and operating system (O
The restoration information is obtained from S) (ST12) and stored in the restoration information table 211 shown in FIG. 6 (ST1 in FIG. 4a).

In “save target file”, this flag is set when there is a file that stores the state on the application program. "Japanese FEP setting status"
In this case, this flag is set when processing is performed in cooperation with Japanese FEP. In this embodiment, the state of the document data being edited on the document editing program 213, the cursor position, and the like are stored in the file “report03”.
03.jtd ”, the flag of“ Save target file ”is set.

Next, the CPU 21a of the company terminal 21 determines whether or not it is connected to the Internet (FIG. 4A).
ST14). When determining that the CPU 21a is connected to the Internet, the CPU 21a accesses the management server 11 (ST16). The management server 11 establishes a command transmission connection between the management server 11 and the company terminal 21,
The establishment is notified to the company terminal 21 (ST17 to S17).
T19).

Upon receiving the notification that the command transmission connection has been established, the company terminal 21 displays a user authentication screen (not shown) provided with user ID and password input columns (ST20, ST21 in FIG. 4B). . User X inputs user ID 1000 and password XA1DCZ. The company terminal 21 transmits a user authentication screen to the management server 11 (ST22, ST23).

Upon receiving the user ID and the like, the management server 11 performs user authentication based on the user information table shown in FIG. 7 (ST24, ST25 in FIG. 4b). In this case, it is determined that the user is a legitimate user, a connection for data transfer is established, and the establishment is notified (ST26,
ST27).

When the company terminal 21 receives the notification (ST29, ST31), it creates a file Z for storing the restoration information stored in the restoration information table 211 together with the time stamp based on the restoration program 212. Then, a write request (PUT) for the file Z is made to the management server 11 (ST32, ST33 in FIG. 4c).

Receiving this, the management server 11 compares the time stamp in the restoration information management area 111 specified by the user ID 1000 in the user information table shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the data is new data (ST3 in FIG. 4c).
4, ST35). If it is determined that the data is new data, the file Z is written in that area (ST36). Then, a notification that the writing has been completed is transmitted to the company terminal 21 (ST3).
7). Company terminal 21 displays a writing end screen (not shown) (ST39 to ST41).

If it is determined in step ST14 of FIG. 4a that there is no connection to the Internet, the CPU 21a
Performs processing for connecting to the Internet (ST1).
5). If it is determined in ST25 of FIG. 4B that an authentication error has occurred, an error is transmitted to the company terminal 21 (S25).
T28). Upon receiving this, the company terminal 21 displays the error screen and the user authentication screen again (S
T29, ST30).

If it is determined in ST35 of FIG. 4c that the file Z is not new data, an error is transmitted to the company terminal 21 (ST38). Upon receiving this, the company terminal 21 displays an error screen (ST39, ST39).
42). Instead of this error screen, the management server 11 may inquire of the company terminal 21 whether or not to perform overwriting, and upon receiving a command from the user, the management server 11 may overwrite and store the restoration information.

The timing of disconnection of the connection between the management server 11 and the company terminal 21 is determined when the user issues a disconnection command or when the upload of the file Z is completed (ST3 in FIG. 4c).
3) or the time when a write end notification is received (ST40).

3.2 Download Processing (FIGS. 4A and 4
b, 4d, and 1b) Similarly to the above, when a read command is issued by the user X, the home terminal 31 accesses the management server 11 to have a command transmission connection established (FIG. 4aS).
T11 to ST18). Then, the home terminal 31 stores the user ID 1000 and the password XA1DCZ in the management server 1.
1 to establish a data transfer connection (ST19 to STb in FIG. 4b).

Home terminal 31 receives the notification that the data transfer connection has been established (ST27 to ST27).
31), the restoration information management area 11 for the management server 11
A read request (GET) for the file stored in No. 1 is made (ST32, ST43 in FIG. 4d). The management server 11 that has received the information stores the restoration information management area 1 identified by the user ID 1000 in the user information table shown in FIG.
Transfer the file stored in the storage area 205 in the home terminal 31 to the home terminal 31 (ST44 to ST47 in FIG. 4d).
In this case, the above-mentioned file Z is transferred.

Home terminal 31 stores the restoration information of file Z in its own restoration information table 311 (ST49 to ST49).
ST51). Then, the CPU of the home terminal 31 performs a restoration process using the restoration information stored in the restoration information table 311 based on the restoration program 312 (ST52).
Thereby, the work state shown in FIG. 5 is restored in the home terminal 31.

As described above, the work state of the application program in the company terminal 21, that is, the command standby state of the application program is changed to the home terminal 3.
1 can be restored.

If the management server 11 determines that no file is stored in the restoration information management area 111 in ST45 of FIG. 4D, it sends an error message to the home terminal 31 (ST48). Home terminal 31 displays an error screen to notify management server 11 that data is not registered (ST49, ST53).

The timing of disconnecting the connection between the management server 11 and the home terminal 31 is determined when a disconnect command is issued by the user or when the download of the file Z is completed (ST5)
0).

4. Other Embodiments In the above embodiment, the management server 11 establishes a data transfer connection after performing user authentication,
The company terminal 21 transmits the file Z to the management server 11. However, the company terminal 21 includes a user identifier (for example, user ID) for specifying the user in the restoration information.
May be transmitted to the management server 11.
In this case, the management server 11 determines from which user the data is transmitted based on the user identifier, and stores the data in a specific area in the restoration information management area 111.

In the above embodiment, the management server 1
1 transmits the file Z stored in the restoration information storage area 111 to the home terminal 31. However, the management server 11 transmits the list shown in FIG. 8A once describing the index of the restoration information to the home terminal 31, and stores only the restoration information selected by the user (for example, only the restoration information related to the browser program) in the home terminal 31. 31.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the company terminal 21 is controlled based on the write command (ST11 in FIG. 4a) by the user.
Uploads the restoration information to the management server 11. However, the restoration information may be automatically transmitted to the management server 11 at predetermined time intervals.

In the above-described embodiment, the restoration programs 212 and 312 perform the processing shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D. However, the operating system (OS)
May leave some of the processing to the user.

In the above embodiment, the home terminal 31
CPU automatically performs the restoration process using the restoration information downloaded from the management server 11 (FIG. 4D).
ST52). However, a list shown in FIG. 8B in which the index of the downloaded restoration information is described may be displayed on the display, and the user may be asked whether or not to execute the restoration processing. At this time, the user may be allowed to select a program for performing the restoration process.

In the above embodiment, the management server 1
1 acquires a storage area specified by a user ID with reference to the user information table shown in FIG. However, when the data file is written in the restoration information management area 111, the data file is specified in the full path format, and if the user ID is determined, the data file is stored only with reference to the restoration information management area 111. The area can be obtained. For example, the storage area allocated to the user with the user ID 1000 in the full path format is http: //www.justsystem/internetdisk/use
If it is r1000, http: //www.justsystem/internetdis
It is represented by k / user1000 / fileZ.

Further, in ST12 of FIG. 4a, the determination as to whether or not the connection to the Internet is made, for example, by confirming with a dial-up connection program.

In the above embodiment, the management server 1
The home terminal 31 that is separate from the company terminal 21 that has uploaded the restoration information to the management server 1 downloads the restoration information from the management server 11 and performs the restoration processing. However,
The same terminal computer that uploaded the restoration information to the management server 11
The restoration process may be performed by downloading restoration information from.

In the above embodiment, the management server 1
1 transmits to the home terminal 31 without converting the data format of the restoration information received from the company terminal 21. However, the download terminal may make a request for conversion to a specific data format, and the management server 11 may convert the restoration information into that data format and transmit this to the download terminal.

In the above embodiment, the company terminal 21
The case where an application program similar to the application program stored in the home terminal 31 is stored in the home terminal 31 is described. However, even when the same type of application program is not stored in the home terminal 31, the system can be used.

An example of the processing of the system in such a case will be described with reference to FIG. A document editing program A for creating document data of document format A and document format B is provided in the uploading terminal 51 and the downloading terminal 61, respectively.
511, a document editing program B 611 is stored.
In the working state as shown on the display screen 52,
The uploading terminal 51 uploads the file A storing the restoration information to the management server 11. The management server 11 stores the file A in the restoration information management area 111. Then, the management server 11 stores the download terminal 6
1, when there is a download request, the conversion table 121
Using the conversion data for the download side terminal 61 in
A file B that converts the document data of the document editing program A into a document format B and contains the restoration information of the document editing program B
Is transmitted to the download side terminal 61. Thereby, the download side terminal 61 can restore the work state as shown on the display screen 62.

In the management server 11, the number of files stored in the restoration information management area 111 for each user is one.
The number of files is not limited to one, and a plurality of files may be stored. An example of using this system will be described with reference to FIG. The company terminal 21 operates at each time (19:00, 20:00, 21: 0
The files X, Y and Z storing the restoration information of 0) are uploaded at the respective times. The management server 11 stores them in the restoration information management area 111, and when a download request is made from the home terminal 31, transmits a file specified by the home terminal 31 (for example, file Y) to the home terminal 31. Also, the company terminal 2 that has performed the upload process
1 may request the management server 11 to download a predetermined file (for example, file Y).
As a result, the user of the company terminal 21 receives the predetermined time (2
At 2:00), the company terminal 21 can be returned to the work state at the desired time (20:00).

In the above embodiment, the company terminal 21
Between the home server 31 and the management server 11
In between, a data file for storing restoration information is transmitted and received by FTP. However, the management server 1
1 may assign a mail address for each user and use this to send and receive restoration information by e-mail.
An example of this system will be described with reference to FIG. The company terminal 21 sends the restoration information to the management server 11 by mail. The management server 11 stores the restoration information in the user ID
And stored in the mail storage file 131. The restoration program 312 of the home terminal 31 uses the mail address assigned to the user to
1. Request confirmation of the e-mail. The management server 11 extracts the electronic mail in which the restoration information is recorded from the mail storage file 131 and delivers it to the home terminal 31. The restoration program 312 of the home terminal 31 executes a restoration process based on the restoration information.

In the above-described embodiment, the process of restoring only the working state of the application program is described as an example. However, the restoration process may be executed for the work state of the icon, the wallpaper, and the like together with the application program.

Further, even when the application program is minimized (for example, a button on a task bar on a Windows screen of Microsoft Corporation) on the uploading terminal, the state is maintained on the downloading terminal as it is. Can be restored. FIG. 12A and FIG. 1 show an example in which the browser program in the working state shown in FIG. 5 is minimized.
This will be described using 2B. The uploading terminal is in the work state shown in FIG. 12A, and the file uploaded to the management server 11 includes a browser program in addition to information such as the XY coordinates and the position in the Z direction of each application program. Is recorded. When the restoration process is executed in the download terminal, the work state shown in FIG. 12A is restored. When the button of this browser program is clicked, the position in the XY direction displayed on the uploading terminal (the position in the XY direction of the browser program in FIG. 5)
The browser program is displayed in the foreground (Fig. 1
2B).

When a plurality of windows are displayed in the application program on the uploading terminal, restoration information relating to those windows may be uploaded to the management server 11. For example,
When a window for inputting a search key and a window for displaying a web page are displayed side by side in the browser program, the position information of these windows is uploaded to the management server 11 together with the URL and the like. As a result, each window can be restored in the download terminal while maintaining the display position of the window in the browser program set in the upload terminal.

When the referred URL points to a local file, the local file may be saved. Thus, the work state of the uploading terminal can be restored in the downloading terminal.
