[First embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a schematic configuration of an operation control system 1 according to the present embodiment. In the operation control system 1, an instruction terminal 2 that sets an operable range and an instructed terminal 3 whose operation is controlled by the operable range are connected via a network 10. The operable range indicates a range in which an operation can be performed. The operation control system 1 controls an operation to be performed by the instructed terminal 3 based on the operable range set by the instruction terminal 2. In other words, the commanded terminal 3 has a function of executing or invalidating an operation for which an operation command has been issued. Hereinafter, functions provided in the operation control system 1 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the operation control system 1 includes an instruction terminal 2 and an instructed terminal 3 connected via a network 10. The instruction terminal 2 and the instructed terminal 3 are each provided with a network interface 23 and a network interface 35 as interfaces connected to the network 10. The instruction terminal 2 includes functional units such as an operation information management unit 20, a display object information acquisition unit 21, a permission range determination unit 22, and a control unit 24. In addition, the instructed terminal 3 includes an operation information management unit 30, a display object information acquisition unit 31, an operation identification unit 32, a determination unit 33, and a control unit 34. In the operation control system 1, the functional unit for performing various processes related to operation control using a CPU as a core member is constructed by hardware and / or software. Hereinafter, the configuration of each part of the operation control system 1 will be described.

  The operation information management unit 20 provided in the instruction terminal 2 acquires operation information indicating the content of the operation by the input device. The input device corresponds to a pointing device such as a mouse that the instruction terminal 2 has. Therefore, in the following description, the input device will be described as a pointing device. The operation information is information indicating the operation content in the instruction terminal 2, and includes a processing target, processing content, operation position, time, terminal identification information, user identification information, and the like. The operation content indicates, for example, an operation content related to a click operation or a movement operation of the pointing device. The operation information includes position information related to a click operation, a moving operation, and the like. The position information is indicated by cursor coordinate information on the operation screen M. Therefore, based on the operation information, it is possible to specify the operation of the pointing device performed at the instruction terminal 2 and the operation position where the operation is performed. Thereby, the operation information management unit 20 detects a position designation operation such as a click operation or a movement operation of the pointing device based on the operation content of the acquired operation information. When the operation information management unit 20 detects a position designation operation, the operation information management unit 20 issues an acquisition instruction to the display object information acquisition unit 21 and transmits the operation information to the permission range determination unit 22.

  The display object information acquisition unit 21 included in the instruction terminal 2 receives the acquisition instruction, and displays the display object displayed on the operation screen M of the instruction terminal 2 when the pointing device position specifying operation based on the operation information is performed. Get material information. The position designation operation is an operation for designating a position with a pointing device, and corresponds to a click operation or a movement operation of the pointing device. In addition, the display object is an object displayed on the operation screen M of the instruction terminal 2, for example, an icon displayed on the operation screen M, a button included in a task bar, a window, a window, a data input unit, or the like. Equivalent to. The display object information is information of a display object on the operation screen M, and includes display position information and processing target information. The display position information is information indicating the position of the display object, and the processing target information is information for identifying the display object. For example, a display such as a code, an application name or a file name of the processing target indicated by the display object is displayed. The processing contents and functions indicated by the objects are represented by a combination of these.

  Therefore, the display object information acquisition unit 21 performs the designation operation as display object information of the display object displayed on the operation screen M of the instruction terminal 2 at the time when the pointing device position specifying operation based on the operation information is performed. The display position information and the processing target information of the display object displayed on the operation screen M at the time of being performed are acquired. The display object information acquisition unit 21 transmits the acquired display object information to the later-described permission range determination unit 22. The display object information acquisition unit 21 can also acquire the above-described information for the entire area of the operation screen M, or acquire at least a part of the area specified by the pointing device. It is also possible.

  The permission range determination unit 22 sets an operation permission condition that defines a condition for permitting an operation on the instructed terminal 3 based on the display object information regarding the position specifying operation. The display object information related to the position specifying operation includes the display object information of the display object specified by the position specifying operation, the display object information of the display object that falls within the area (specified area) specified by the position specifying operation, The display object information of the display object in which a part of the display area is included in the area is shown. Further, for example, display object information of a display object when a position specifying operation is specified as a point such as a click operation performed only at a predetermined position is also included. Whether or not a display object is specified by the position specifying operation as described above is determined by a logical operation using the position information of the specified area and the display position information included in the display object information of the display object. Is called. That is, when the display object is included in the specified area as described above, or when at least a part of the display object is included in the specified area, or the point where the position specifying operation is performed is on the display object. In this case, it is determined that the display object is designated by the position designation operation. The operation permission condition includes the permitted operation position (area) and the permitted operation display object as the range for permitting the operation performed on the instructed terminal by the display object information of the display object specified by the position specifying operation. And their processing targets, and combinations thereof. The setting of the operation permission condition is performed as follows. First, the designated area is specified based on the position information included in the operation information transmitted from the operation information management unit 20. This designated area may be specified from a set of coordinates moved by the pointing device, or may be specified from the coordinates of the start point and end point of the pointing device. In the former case, the designated area can be specified as the area formed by the locus of movement of the pointing device, that is, the locus area. On the other hand, in the latter case, the designated area can be specified as an area formed by a rectangle whose diagonal is a line connecting the coordinates of the start point and the end point. It is also possible to designate a designated area as a point. The specified area may be a part of the display position of the display object. The operation information is information on the position specifying operation.

  Here, the operation permission condition is set based on the display object information, and the display object information includes display position information and processing target information. That is, the operation permission condition is set by at least one of display position information and processing target information included in the display object information of the display object specified by the position specifying operation as described above. The processing target information includes processing target identification information such as a window, an icon, and a button. When the processing target is a window, the operation permission condition is a condition for limiting the windows that can be operated. In addition, when the processing target is an icon, a button, or the like, it is a condition for restricting an icon, a button, or the like that can be operated. In this way, the operation permission condition is set. Then, the operation permission condition is transmitted via the network 10 to a determination unit 33 (described later) provided in the instructed terminal 3.

  The operation information management unit 30 included in the instructed terminal 3 acquires operation information indicating the content of the operation performed by the pointing device performed on the instructed terminal 3. Here, in the operation control system 1, the operation to be performed at the instructed terminal 3 is controlled based on the operation permission condition set in the instructing terminal 2 as described above. The operation to be broken is temporarily held, and it is determined whether or not the held operation is included in the operation permission condition set in the instruction terminal 2, and the held operation is executed based on the determination result. Or disable it. Therefore, in the following description, unless otherwise specified, the operation by the pointing device performed at the instructed terminal 3 is temporarily suspended until controlled by the control unit 34 (described later).

  The operation information acquired by the instructed terminal 3 is information indicating the operation content performed in the instructed terminal 3, and includes a processing target, processing content, operation position, time, terminal identification information, user identification information, and the like. The operation content indicates, for example, an operation content related to a click operation or a movement operation of the pointing device. This operation information includes position information related to a click operation, a movement operation, and the like. This position information is indicated by the coordinate information of the cursor on the operation screen M of the instructed terminal 3. Therefore, based on the operation information, it is possible to specify the operation of the pointing device performed at the instructed terminal 3 and the operation position where the operation is performed. Accordingly, the operation information management unit 30 detects a click operation or a movement operation of the pointing device based on the operation content of the acquired operation information. Then, when detected, the operation information management unit 30 transmits an acquisition instruction to the display object information acquisition unit 31 and transmits the operation information to the permission range determination unit 22.

  The display object information acquisition unit 31 included in the instructed terminal 3 receives the acquisition instruction and acquires the display object information of the display object displayed on the operation screen M of the instructed terminal 3. The display object corresponds to an icon, a task bar, a window, a button included in the window, a data input unit, or the like displayed on the operation screen M of the instructed terminal 3. The display object information is information of a display object on the operation screen M, and includes display position information and processing target information. The display position information is information indicating the position of the display object, and the processing target information is information for identifying the display object. For example, a display such as a code, an application name or a file name of the processing target indicated by the display object is displayed. The processing contents and functions indicated by the objects are represented by a combination of these. Therefore, the display object information acquisition unit 31 uses the display position information and the processing target information of the display object displayed on the operation screen M as the display object information of the display object displayed on the operation screen M of the instructed terminal 3. get. The display object information acquisition unit 31 transmits the acquired display object information to the determination unit 33 described later.

  Based on the operation information indicating the content of the operation performed on the commanded terminal 3 and the display object information on the operation screen M when the operation is performed, the operation specifying unit 32 performs the operation on the commanded terminal 3. Acquire operation range information for specifying the operation range. This operation range information is acquired as follows. First, the operation position is specified based on the position information included in the operation information transmitted from the operation information management unit 30. Next, the operation specifying unit 32 acquires operation range information corresponding to the above-described operation position based on the display object information transmitted from the display object information acquiring unit 31. The operation range information is determined by information included in the display item information. The display object information includes display position information and processing target information. The processing target information includes processing target identification information such as a window, an icon, and a button. When the processing target is a window, the operation range information is information indicating the window to be operated. Further, when the processing target is an icon, a button, or the like, the information indicates the icon, button, or the like to be operated. The operation range information is set based on the relationship between the operation position and the display position of the display object information. That is, the operation range information is set by calculating a logical operation between the operation position and the display position. In this case, when there is a portion where at least a part of the operation position and the display position overlap, the operation range information is set. And the said operation range information is transmitted to the determination part 33 mentioned later.

  The determination unit 33 determines whether the operation range of the operation performed on the instructed terminal 3 is included in the operation permission condition. The operation range of the operation performed at the instructed terminal 3 is specified by the operation range information transmitted from the operation specifying unit 32 described above. The operation permission condition is transmitted from the permission range determination unit 22 provided in the instruction terminal 2 via the network 10. The determination unit 33 determines whether or not the operation range included in the operation range information is included in the operation permission condition, and transmits the determination result to the control unit 34.

  The control unit 34 included in the instructed terminal 3 controls the instructed terminal 3 according to the determination result based on the operation range and the operation permission condition transmitted from the determination unit 33 described above. Here, the operation based on the operation information specified by the operation information management unit 30 is suspended until it is controlled by the control unit 34 as described above. That is, when the determination result that the operation range is included in the operation permission condition is transmitted from the determination unit 33, the control unit 34 performs control so as to execute the operation information process. On the other hand, when a determination result indicating that the operation range is not included in the operation permission condition is transmitted from the determination unit 33, the control unit 34 performs control to invalidate the processing of the operation information. The control performed by the control unit 34 when the determination result that the operation range is not included in the operation permission condition is transmitted includes the restriction of the operation to invalidate the operation performed on the instructed terminal 3 or the instructed Warning notification to the terminal 3 and recording to a recording unit (not shown) are included. Further, this recording may be performed not only on the recording unit of the instructed terminal 3 but also on a recording unit (not shown) provided in the instruction terminal 2. Furthermore, an image indicating the operable range may be displayed on the instruction terminal 2 or the instructed terminal 3 according to the determination result based on the operation range and the operation permission condition transmitted from the determination unit 33 described above. The terminal 2 may be notified of the operable range. In this case, the display of the image and the notification on the instruction terminal 2 are performed by the control unit 24 provided in the instruction terminal 2. That is, it is performed by a logical operation between the operation range and the operation permission condition.

  Next, an example of setting as an operable range in the instructed terminal 3 based on the operation permission condition set in the instructing terminal 2 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2A shows the operation screen M of the instruction terminal 2 and shows that the window of application A and the window of application B are displayed on the operation screen M. Here, the window includes an input space in which characters and the like can be input and buttons that are pressed to perform character input and various processes. The operation information management unit 20 of the instruction terminal 2 acquires a position designation operation on the instruction terminal 2.

  Next, the display object information acquisition unit 21 acquires display object information of the display object displayed on the operation screen M at the time when the position specifying operation is performed by the pointing device. In the example of FIG. 2A, the position information of the window of the application A and the window of the application B, the identification information of the processing target as the operation permission condition (whether it is the window of the application A or the window of the application B, Or both of them) is acquired as display object information. The display object information acquisition unit 21 transmits the acquired display object information to the later-described permission range determination unit 22. Hereinafter, it is assumed that an input space is set as an operation permission condition in the window of the application A.

  The permission range determination unit 22 sets an operation permission condition based on the operation information acquired from the operation information management unit 20 and the display object information acquired from the display object information acquisition unit 21. That is, the input space is set as an operable area in the window of application A. The operation permission condition set in this way is transmitted to the determination unit 33 provided in the instructed terminal 3.

  Next, control of operations performed in the instructed terminal 3 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating an example in which the position and size of the application window displayed on the operation screen M of the instruction terminal 2 illustrated in FIG. The operation information management unit 30 included in the instructed terminal 3 detects that characters or the like are input at the instructed terminal 3. Here, the processing (display on the operation screen M) is temporarily suspended as described above.

  When the display object information acquisition unit 31 acquires operation information indicating that a character or the like is input, the display object information acquisition unit 31 acquires the input display object information and transmits it to the operation specifying unit 32. The operation specifying unit 32 acquires operation range information indicating that characters and the like are input in the input space of the window of the application A in FIG. 2B from the operation information and the display object information. This operation range information is transmitted to the determination unit 33.

  The determination unit 33 makes a determination by comparing the operation permission condition transmitted from the permission range determination unit 22 included in the instruction terminal 2 with the operation range information transmitted from the operation specifying unit 32, and the determination result is transmitted to the control unit 34. To communicate. It is determined whether or not an input of characters or the like on the instructed terminal 3 is an input to the input space of the window of the application A defined in the operation permission condition. This determination result is transmitted to the control unit 34.

  Based on the determination result acquired from the determination unit 33, the control unit 34 performs control to display or invalidate the input character on the operation screen M. Specifically, if the input of characters or the like on the instructed terminal 3 is not the input space of the window of the application A defined in the operation permission condition, the window of the application A displayed on the operation screen M of the instructed terminal 3 On the other hand, if the input of characters or the like is the input space of the window of the application A, the characters are displayed in the input space of the window of the application A displayed on the operation screen M. In this way, the operation control system 1 can control the operation of the instructed terminal 2 based on the operable range set by the instructing terminal 1.

  Further, the position and size of the window of the application displayed on the operation screen M of the instruction terminal 2 as shown in FIG. 3A and the operation screen of the indicated terminal 3 as shown in FIG. Even when the position and size of the window of the application displayed on M are different, according to the present invention, the operation of the commanded terminal 3 is controlled based on the operable range set by the command terminal 2. Is possible. That is, the operation permission condition transmitted from the instruction terminal 2 to the instructed terminal 3 includes processing target information that can identify the processing target as described above. If “space” is defined, it is possible to control the instructed terminal 3 to enable input in “input space of the window of application A”. For example, if the input space is defined as a spreadsheet application, it is possible to specify only a table cell. Furthermore, since the operation permission condition is defined based on the processing target information as described above, even if the display magnifications of the application windows displayed on the operation screen M of the instruction terminal 2 and the instructed terminal 3 are different, Operation control can be performed.

  Next, operation control performed by the operation control system 1 will be described using a flowchart. FIG. 4 is a flowchart regarding the operation control. First, the operation information management unit 20 acquires operation information indicating a click operation performed on the instruction terminal 2 (step # 01). Next, the display object information acquisition unit 21 acquires display object information on which the click operation has been performed (step # 02). The permission range determination unit 22 sets the position where the click operation is performed as an operation permission condition based on the above-described operation information and display object information (step # 03). This operation permission condition is transmitted from the permission range determination unit 22 to the determination unit 33 provided in the instructed terminal 3.

  Then, the operation information management unit 30 provided in the instructed terminal 3 detects an operation performed on the instructed terminal 3 and acquires operation information indicating the operation (step # 04). Further, based on the operation information, the display object information acquisition unit 31 included in the instructed terminal 3 acquires display object information of a region where an operation corresponding to the operation information is performed (step # 05).

  The operation specifying unit 32 acquires operation range information corresponding to the operation from the above-described operation information and display object information (step # 06). The operation range information is transmitted to the determination unit 33. The determination unit 33 compares the operation range information with the operation permission condition transmitted from the permission range determination unit 22 included in the instruction terminal 2 and transmits the determination result to the control unit 34. When the operation range information is included in the operation permission condition (step # 07: Yes), the control unit 34 executes the operation (step # 08). On the other hand, when the operation range information is not included in the operation permission condition (step # 07: No), the control unit 34 invalidates the operation (step # 09). In this way, the operation control system 1 controls operations performed on the instructed terminal 3.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the operation control system 1 will be described. In the first embodiment described above, the operation control system 1 is configured by the instruction terminal 2 and the instructed terminal 3, but in the second embodiment, a plurality of terminals connected to the network 10 and the management server 4. It differs in the point comprised from. This will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 shows an operation control system 1 including a management server 4.

Is omitted. In the first embodiment, the operation information management unit 20 and the display object information acquisition unit 21 are individually provided in the instruction terminal 2 and the instructed terminal 3, but are provided in common in the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of terminals (for example, x, y) are specified as the instruction terminal 2 or the instructed terminal 3 based on the user identification information included in the operation information. In accordance with the acquired user identification information, the management server 4 identifies whether the operation information or display object information acquired from each terminal is that of the instruction terminal 2 or that of the indicated terminal 3. Get. Then, the operation permission condition is set based on the operation information and the display object information from the terminal specified as the instruction terminal 2, and the operation permission condition is set based on the operation information and the display object information from the terminal specified as the instructed terminal 3. Get the operation range information of the operation to be performed. Then, based on the operation permission condition and the operation range information, an operation corresponding to the operation information from the terminal identified as the instructed terminal 3 is controlled. Since this control is the same as in the first embodiment described above, a description thereof will be omitted. In this way, it is possible to control the operation of the terminals connected to the network 10 constituting the operation control system 1.

[Other Embodiments]
In the first embodiment, the operation control system 1 has been described as including the instruction terminal 2 and the instructed terminal 3. For example, when the operation control system 1 is used in an educational institution such as a school, it is preferable that the instruction terminal 2 is configured as a teacher machine used by a teacher and the instructed terminal 3 is configured as a student machine used by students and students. Further, in a company, a public office, or the like, it is preferable that the instruction terminal 2 is configured as a management machine used by a network administrator, for example, and the instructed terminal 3 is configured as a client PC used by a general user.

  In the above embodiment, the input device has been described as a pointing device. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a device for inputting data, commands, etc., a keyboard, a tablet, a barcode reader, or the like may be used.
