Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for accessing a work situation (information processing environment) on a predetermined computer and a technique for managing the work situation on a computer when working while moving in various physical work spaces. It is ideal for collaborative work support.

  In various physical work spaces where the user moves, the work status in the calculation of the desktop environment etc. (sometimes referred to here as the information processing environment or virtual work space) and the collection of documents are continuously reproduced. Various techniques have been studied so far to make them available.

  As a technology that enables the personal desktop environment to be called and operated on various computers, there is a thin client technology in which the personal desktop environment is stored on the server and the environment is called by the destination client. . This technology originated from a product called WinFrame (trademark), which was developed based on the concept of "server-based computing" advocated by Citrix in the United States in 1995, and then network computer (NC.trademark) of Oracle Corporation. Sun Station's Java Station (trademark), Microsoft Corporation NetPC (trademark), Citrix Corporation WBT (trademark), and the like have been commercialized. However, these thin client technologies focus on the reproduction of personal desktop environments and do not target the reproduction of collaborative workspaces. For this reason, when a scene of collaborative work such as a meeting enters in a series of work processes, continuity of work cannot be realized. Further, since this technique is not combined with a sensing technique for identifying the position of the user on the physical space, the work space cannot be reproduced according to the work situation (context).

  Non-Patent Document 1 discloses that each user's desktop is held on a workstation, moved to the user's home file server, or deleted from the workstation. When the desktop is moved to the user's home file server, the work can be performed by moving the desktop from the home file server to the workstation using an arbitrary workstation. The desktop constitutes a user interface for each function such as e-mail, and also constitutes a directory that summarizes the entire user file. Similarly to the thin client method, this technology is not combined with the sensing technology for identifying the position of the user on the physical space, and therefore the work space cannot be reproduced according to the work situation (context).

  On the other hand, a “token” containing the address on the server where the document managed by the user is stored is stored in a small portable device and carried around. Non-Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 1 are technologies that send a “token” according to a placed situation (context) to transfer an entity of a corresponding document onto the device and perform operations related to the document. Etc. This technique enables selection of documents according to the user's situation, but the object to be handled is a collection of documents managed by an individual, not a work space on a computer, nor a collaborative work space. For this reason, the continuity of the work space cannot be realized.

On the other hand, as a method of dividing and managing a work space for each task, there is a technique described in Non-Patent Document 3 that enables a personal desktop environment to be switched according to a task. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-133867 discloses a technique for preserving the state of a desktop environment shared among a plurality of users in time series and supporting the grasp of the activity status. However, these technologies are premised on the situation where users work toward the same computer, and a work space is created in an environment where a plurality of users are working while moving in various environments and changing the work environment. It is not a technique for storing and reproducing continuously, and it is impossible to realize continuity of the work space in units of tasks.

Pendlebury, Satchel: Providing Access to Any Document, Any Time, Any Where, ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, Vol. (3), 2000 D. A. Henderson Jr. and S. K. Card, Rooms: The Use of Multiple Virtual Workspaces to Reduce Space Content in a Windows-Based Graphic User Interface, ACM Transactions. 5 (3), 1986

  In an office environment where work is performed while changing various places such as a living room, a conference room, a home, and a mobile, the computers used are also different. For example, a desktop PC is used at the desk where documents and presentation materials are created, a notebook PC or a PC connected to a projector installed in the conference room is used in a conference room, a PDA is used in a mobile environment, and a desktop PC is used again at home. As the work space changes, the equipment used also changes. In order to be able to work continuously in such an environment, each time the work space changes, the document must be moved between these different computers.

  Also, in meetings and other situations, in order to share documents shared during the collaborative process or newly created documents among participants, store them in a shared file folder and retrieve them by email or by email. Or distributed to participants. However, such work is complicated and causes continuity of work to be interrupted.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances. For example, in an office environment in which a user moves in various physical spaces, regardless of a personal work space or a collaborative work space, the work situation on the computer (work The purpose is to ensure the continuity of the space.

  According to this invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the configuration as described in the claims is adopted.

  A specific configuration of the present invention is that the work status (document usage status, etc.) of the work space on the computer operated by the user in an office environment where the user works in various places such as his seat, conference room, etc. By storing the user in association with a tag carried by the user or the user and reproducing the work situation in the previous work space when the user is recognized in any work space in which the user moves The work can be continued seamlessly even if the physical work space where the user exists changes.

  In this configuration, the user who moves in various workspaces is recognized by the ID card carried by the user or a sensing mechanism installed in each workspace (such as biometric authentication such as fingerprint authentication or face recognition technology from images). Then, the work status in the work space on the computer that the recognized user has performed in the previous work space is called and reproduced on the work space in which the user exists.

  In a more specific example, the continuity of the work space on each user's computer is managed in units of “tasks”. Further, the work space is managed separately into a personal work space and a shared work space, and documents and the like can be exchanged between the personal work space and the shared work space.

  The collaborative work space functions as a work space in which the collaborative work spaces of the workers who participated in the collaborative work are virtually combined, and the result of the collaborative work is shared and stored.

  A snapshot of the work state in the work space is acquired for a plurality of devices placed in the work space, and the work space is reproduced for the plurality of devices even when the work space is reproduced.

  The work space reproduced in each work space is automatically selected according to the user's situation. For example, in a conference room with multiple users, it is possible to infer a task from the set of participants recognized by the sensor and invoke a collaborative workspace for that task, while in a personal desktop environment It enables automatic selection of a work space according to the situation, such as calling a personal work space.

  In this example, even if the physical work space is moved, the work space on the computer is continuously reproduced, so that the work can be continued seamlessly. (Since the same work situation is reproduced even if the computer environment to be used changes, the document created on the desktop PC is moved to a notebook PC or conference room PC. (This can greatly reduce the trouble of moving.)

  In addition, in a joint work such as a meeting, the result of combining the work spaces of multiple users can be reproduced as a joint work space, and the work space at that time can be continued even after the joint work is over. Can be used. (After the meeting is over, in order to share the use brought by each user, it is possible to greatly reduce the trouble of storing and contacting materials on a specific server.)

  Further, the present invention will be described with reference to the principle configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG.

  That is, according to one aspect of the present invention, in order to achieve the above-described object, the physical work used by the user when information processing is performed using computers respectively provided in a plurality of physical work spaces. To an information processing environment management apparatus for managing a work situation on a computer in a space for each user: a user specifying means (103) for specifying a user existing in a physical work space; specified in relation to the specified user A work status detection means (105) for detecting a work status on a computer in a physical work space where the user exists; and a work for holding the work status detected by the work status detection means in relation to the specified user. Status holding means (107); in the computer of the physical work space in which the user is specified, the work status held in relation to the user is read from the work status holding means. So that provided the current working situation reproducer (104).

  The user specifying means is, for example, a tag reader that reads a tag device (tag IC card) carried by the user, but is not limited thereto. The user may input a user ID or the like using a predetermined input device. The work status holding means may be realized by a dedicated computer (server), but may be held in a distributed manner by computers arranged in each physical work space.

  In this configuration, even if the physical work space where the user works changes to various places such as living room, conference room, home, mobile, etc. Seamless reproduction is possible, and the user can continue work without moving a document between computers.

  In this configuration, the work status on the computer corresponding to each user held by the work status holding means is managed in a predetermined work status unit, and the work status reproduction means displays the work status for each work status unit. It is preferable to reproduce.

  The user may specify the work status unit as a “task name”, but is not limited to this.

  In this case, for example, it becomes possible to manage the work status for each "task", so that even if the user participates in multiple tasks, it is possible to manage documents and information separately for each task In addition, it is possible to prevent to some extent that a document handled in a task is accidentally leaked out of the task.

  In addition, the work status on the computer corresponding to each user held by the work status holding means can be shared with a user other than the user in a personal work situation that can be operated only by the user and in a joint work situation. It is preferable that the management is divided into different collaborative work situations.

  In this case, the work status (work space) in which the individual is working is managed separately from the work status (work space) for collaborative work. Can be prevented from being used by a person.

  Also, when each user collaborates in the same physical work space, the work status reproduction means refers to each user's work status held in the work status holding means and integrates the work status of each user. It is preferable that the integrated work situation after the joint work is held in the work situation holding means as the work situation of each user.

  In this case, the information shared in the collaborative work space can be continuously shared without being stored in a server or the like.

  Further, it is preferable that the work situation reproduction means selects a type of work situation to be reproduced according to a situation where the user specified by the user specifying means is placed.

  In this case, in a collaborative work scene such as a conference room where multiple users are gathering, a task space according to the situation, such as identifying a task from a set of participating users and calling up the collaborative work space related to the task. Can be reproduced, and the time and effort for the user to select a work space can be reduced.

  The present invention can be realized not only as an apparatus or a system but also as a method. Of course, a part of the invention can be configured as software. Of course, software products used to cause a computer to execute such software are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  These and other aspects of the invention are set forth in the appended claims and will be described in detail below with reference to examples.

  According to the present invention, even if the physical work space is moved, the work situation on the computer is continuously reproduced, so that the work can be continued seamlessly. Even if the computer environment used changes, the same work situation is reproduced.For example, a document created on a desktop PC is moved to a notebook PC or conference room PC. It is possible to greatly reduce the trouble of moving the camera.

  In a specific example, in a joint work such as a meeting, the result of combining the work situations of multiple users can be reproduced as a joint work space (work situation). It can be used continuously even after collaborative work is over. For example, in order to share the use brought by each user after the conference is completed, it is possible to greatly reduce the trouble of storing and contacting a material on a specific server.

  Examples of the present invention will be described below.

[Principle configuration of the embodiment]
FIG. 1 shows the basic configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the configuration of an implementation example of this embodiment. In FIG. 1, an information processing environment management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user identification unit 103, a work state reproduction unit 104, a work state detection unit 105, and a work state holding unit provided for each physical work space 102. The work status holding server 106 constituting the network 107 is connected via the network 101. The work space 102 may be any space as long as the worker can perform work, such as a conference room, a worker's room, a worker's seat, and the like. The user specifying means 103 may be anything as long as it has a function for specifying a user, and an IC card, various recognition devices, and various input devices can be used. An input device for inputting a user ID number may be used. The work status detection unit 105 detects the user's work status based on the user information obtained by the user specifying unit 103. This work status is transferred to and held in the work status holding means 107 of the work status holding server 106. The work situation reproduction means 104 reproduces the work space by taking out the work situation from the work situation holding means 107 of the work situation holding server 106 based on the user information obtained by the user specifying means 103.

  In this configuration, even if the user moves in the work space, the previous work situation is held in the work situation holding means 107 and can be taken out, so that the work situation can be reproduced at the destination.

  The user recognition unit 103 is basically provided for each work space. However, the user recognition unit 103 may recognize which work space is based on the position of the user.

[Realization configuration of the embodiment]
Next, an implementation configuration of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and subsequent drawings. FIG. 2 shows an implementation configuration example of the information processing environment management apparatus according to the present invention. In this example, the user works while moving in his / her seat (work space α) 202 as a personal work space, a conference room (work space β) 203 as a joint work space, a conference room (work space γ) 204, and the like. Assume the situation. Here, a work status holding server 208 that holds a work status used by each user (also referred to as a virtual work space or a portable work space) is connected to the network 201, and each work space includes a user A tag reader 206 for reading a portable tag device 205 (RFID tag) and a work space server 207 to which they are connected are installed. A conference room (work space β) 203 and a conference room (work space γ) 204, which are joint work spaces, include a joint work computer 209 for displaying presentation materials, a projector 210, a projection screen 211, a whiteboard. A whiteboard capture device 213 that captures and stores the content written in 214 is installed by a camera, and a personal work computer 212 is installed in a self-seat (work space α) 210 used for personal work purposes. Has been.

  The embodiment shown here is realized on the Java (trademark) platform, and the work status held in the work status holding server 208 can be reproduced as an applet on the collaborative work computer 209 or the personal work computer 212. .

  FIG. 3 shows the data structure of the data object handled in the processing in the embodiment of the present invention. Among these data, tag data 301 is held by the tag device 205, personal work status history data 302, work status (portable work space) data 303, document data 304, and document reference data 305 are a work status holding server 208. Hold. The physical work space data 306 is held by the work space server 207, and the device data 307 is a variety of devices placed in the work space such as the collaborative work computer 209, the personal work computer 212, the whiteboard capture device 213, and the like. Hold.

[Associating workspaces with tags]
The tag device 205 carried by the user stores a tag ID, a user ID, a password, and a work space URL, as shown in the tag data 301 of FIG. 3, and is installed in a work space such as a seat or a conference room. When the tag reader 206 is placed on the tag reader 205 and recognized, the “storage mode” and “reproduction mode” are automatically selected according to the length of time the tag device 205 has been placed on the tag reader 206. Then, processing corresponding to each is performed (overall processing 401 in FIG. 4). In this example, the “storage mode” is set when the time is longer than the predetermined time, and the “reproduction mode” is set when the time is less than the predetermined time (S10, S11), but the present invention is not limited to this. “Storage mode” and “reproduction mode” may be explicitly specified.

  If the tag device 205 is left on the tag reader 206 for a predetermined time or longer, the “storage mode” is automatically selected, and the tag reader 206 is in a busy state so that the tag reader 206 does not accept reading of other tag devices during the following processing. (S12). Then, the work space server 207 to which the tag reader 206 is connected takes out the state of the document used on various devices installed in the work space as the work state (S13). Here, based on the addresses of the various devices installed in the work space stored in the “component device set” in the physical work space data 305 held by the work space server 207, Thus, a message “status acquisition message” 601 (see FIG. 6) relating to a request for providing information related to the currently used document is transmitted. The “status acquisition message” 601 includes the address of the work space server 207 of the message source as a reply destination. As shown in the process 501 in FIG. A “status response message” 602 (see FIG. 6) is returned as a reply destination.

  That is, in each device, a program that collects information related to the actual address of the document used on the device, the state of the document (open, collapse, etc.), the display position / size, and the associated application program is a background process. When the “status acquisition message” 601 is received from the workspace server 207 (S30 in FIG. 5), these statuses are collected and a “status response message” 602 is generated and sent to the workspace server 207. The collected information is returned (S31 in FIG. 5). In the case of the present embodiment, the collaborative computer 209 and the whiteboard capture device 213 installed in the work space correspond to these devices, and a program for performing the above processing operates in these devices. is doing.

  As described above, when information regarding a document is returned from various devices to the work space server 207, document data 304 is generated based on the information regarding the document. In the newly generated document data 304, the logical name of the used device is “logical device name”, the display position on the device is “display position”, and the address where the document entity is stored. Is set to “content”, the display state of the document (open, collapse, etc.) is set to “state”, and an application program that is activated when the document is operated is set to “activation application”.

  Furthermore, the document data 304 generated based on information collected from various devices is held in a “personal work space” or “shared” according to the type of work space collected (self-seat, conference room, etc.). After selecting whether to save in the “work space”, it is generated as work status (portable work space) data 303 together with the time and place name (physical work space name) at the time of saving.

  Further, along with the generation of the work status (portable workspace) data, the workspace server 207 displays an interface confirmation dialog as shown in FIG. 8 and associates the task status (portable workspace) data 303 with the task name. Is designated in the task name designation field 802. Here, when assigning to an existing task name, the selection button 803 is pressed to open the task name selection window 806, the task name to be associated is selected on the task name list view 807, and then the task name determination button 808 is pressed. The task name registration button 804 is pressed. When a new task name is to be associated, a new task name is entered in the task name designation field 802 and a task name determination button 808 is pressed. Then, the task name designated as the “task name” of the work status (portable work space) data 303 is set (S14, S15).

  The work status (portable work space) data 303 generated as described above is saved using the user name and password included in the tag device 205 recognized by the tag reader 206 connected to the work space server 207. It is transmitted and stored to the work status holding server 208 at the address held in the space URL (S16). Note that the tag device 205 associated with the work space as described above does not change the work state on the work space unless the association process is explicitly performed again. The associated state is maintained to reproduce the work space. (Rather than maintaining the state of the work space at the time of being associated with the tag, if the state on the work space changes in the subsequent work, the work space in the changed state is associated. )

[Reproduction of work status by tag authentication]
When the time that the tag 205 is placed on the tag reader 206 is less than a certain time (S10, S11), the “reproduction mode” is set so that the tag reader 206 does not accept reading of other tag devices during the following processing. The busy state is set (S17), and execution of the following processing is recommended.

  That is, the work space server 207 to which the tag reader 206 is connected accesses the work status holding server 208 indicated by the work space URL using the user ID and password included in the tag device 205 recognized by the tag reader 206, Work status (portable work space) data 303 associated with the tag ID is acquired (S18).

  Here, the “work space type” of the physical work space data 306 held by the work space server 207 includes “personal work space”, conference room, and the like in the case of a personal work space such as a self-seat. In the case of the collaborative work space, the “collaborative work space” is set, and the work situation corresponding to each case is reproduced (S19, S20, S21).

  When the “work space type” of the physical work space data 305 held by the work space server 207 is “joint work space” (that is, the place where the work space is reproduced is a place such as a conference room), the above is acquired. The document data 304 in the “joint work space” included in the work status (portable work space) data 303 is extracted one by one. Here, in the case of the document data 304, the device corresponding to the logical device name included in the data is identified from the device data 306 included in the “component device set” held in the physical work space data 305. Then, the document data 304 is transmitted to the device of “address” included in the device data 306.

  Each individual work space and collaborative work space reproduced in the above process has an overview as shown in FIG. 7, and is designated by selecting a task name from the task selection pull-down menu 702. It can also be reproduced by switching to the work status corresponding to the task name.

  On various devices to which the document data 304 has been transmitted as a result of the above processing, the data such as “content URL”, “display position”, “state”, “startup application”, etc. included in the document data 304 is included. Based on this, the usage state of the document is reproduced.

[Combine work status with multiple tags]
After the above-described work status reproduction process is completed, when another user causes the tag reader 205 to recognize the tag device 205, the work status associated with the newly recognized tag device 205 is processed under the same process as described above. Is reproduced. At this time, when reproducing the work status of the collaborative work space having the same task name, the work space server 207 holds the reference information to the already reproduced document in the “current document” of the physical work space data 305. The same document as the already reproduced document is not reproduced, but only the newly added document is reproduced.

  The work situation of the work space synthesized as described above is stored in the “joint work space” of the work situation (portable work space) 303 of each person as the state of the joint work space associated with the task. Even after the work in the space is completed, the user can access the work status (portable work space) 303 from the collaborative work space.

[Reproduction of work conditions in workspaces with different configurations]
Various devices placed in the work space α (self-seat) 202, the work space β (conference room) 203, and the work space γ (other conference rooms) 204 are given logical role names in the work space. It has been. For example, in the conference room (work space β) and the conference room (work space γ), the collaborative work computer 209 used for displaying the main presentation screen includes a “main display”, a wall of the conference room (work space β), A name such as “captured white board” is given to the whiteboard capture device 213 that captures the contents described in the whiteboard. As in this embodiment, the workspace is changed from the workspace β (conference room) to the workspace. Even when moving to γ (another conference room), the device that reproduces the document is determined based on this logical name, so if there is a device with the same logical name in the workspace, A similar environment is reproduced when a device is selected.

[Effect of Example]
Even if the physical work space is moved, the work status on the computer is continuously reproduced, so that the work can be continued seamlessly. (Since the same work situation is reproduced even if the computer environment to be used changes, the document created on the desktop PC is moved to a notebook PC or conference room PC. (This can greatly reduce the trouble of moving.)

  In a collaborative work such as a meeting, the result of combining the work status of multiple users can be reproduced as a joint work space, and the work space at that time can be continuously maintained even after the joint work is over. Can be used. (After the meeting is over, in order to share the use brought by each user, it is possible to greatly reduce the trouble of storing and contacting materials on a specific server.)
