Description

  The present invention relates to an application management system that manages applications according to the operation of a terminal, and a program for such an application management system.

  Conventionally, document input, database processing, and the like have been performed using a computer. In performing such input and processing, there are cases where a plurality of applications are started on a computer. Also, even when the application that has been started is no longer used, another application may be started by forgetting to stop such an application. When various operations are performed in such a state, the load on the computer, particularly the CPU operation rate and the memory consumption amount, increase, and the calculation processing speed may decrease. Therefore, there is a technique for reducing such a problem (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  The program activation restriction system described in Patent Document 1 has a function of continuing activation of an activation program necessary for a service provided to a user and automatically ending unnecessary activation programs. In the program activation restriction system, determination information is registered in advance in order to determine a necessary program. Then, it is determined whether or not the determination information of the activated program matches the previously registered determination information. If it is determined that the determination information does not match, the activated program is forcibly terminated.

  The unnecessary window automatic termination system described in Patent Document 2 automatically terminates or icons an unnecessary window that is being activated. This unnecessary window automatic termination system calculates the elapsed time up to the present after the window is activated and no operation is performed on the window (after it is no longer accessed). When the elapsed time reaches a preset end time or iconification time, the target window is ended or iconified.

JP 2004-40172 A (paragraph number 0008, etc.) JP-A-10-69366 (paragraph number 0006, etc.)

  Even with the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is possible to reduce the load by terminating preset applications and unnecessary applications when the load on the computer increases. However, in these techniques, since the application to be terminated is terminated without considering the relationship with the currently used (processing) application, when the application to be terminated is terminated, It may affect the work. That is, for example, there is a possibility of an influence when working while browsing or when working while copying and using information. In addition, when the application to be ended is used in subsequent work, the load on the computer may be increased again by starting the application to be ended.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an application management system capable of specifying an application to be terminated without affecting the processing after the application is terminated, and a program for such an application management system Is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, the characteristic configuration of the application management system according to the present invention is to record operation log information recorded based on an operation performed on the terminal in order to manage an application according to the operation of the terminal. An operation log information management unit that acquires and stores, a load information acquisition unit that acquires load information indicating a load state of the terminal, and determines whether the terminal is in a predetermined load state based on the load information A load state determination unit; and an application identification unit that identifies an application activated and used in the terminal based on the operation log information when the load state determination unit is determined to be the predetermined load state; Based on the saved operation log information, the activated application and the used application are displayed. And determining relevance determining unit relevance between, depending on the degree of association is that a and a control object application notifying unit for notifying the control target application.

  With such a feature configuration, an application that has a high degree of association with the currently used application among the applications that are activated on the terminal is identified, for example, an application with a low degree of association is preferentially terminated. Control can be performed. Therefore, even when the application to be controlled is controlled to be terminated, the process after the application is terminated is not affected. For this reason, the user can continuously perform smooth processing.

  In addition, it is preferable that the application specifying unit specifies the used application based on a predetermined operation on the application and / or time information when the predetermined operation is performed.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately and in real time specify an application currently used by the user based on the operation log information.

  Further, the relevance level determination unit determines the relevance level according to a predetermined operation of both the activated application and the used application and / or time information when the predetermined operation is performed. It is preferable.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately determine the degree of association between the activated application and the used application based on the operation log information.

  The operation log information includes window coordinates, and the relevance determination unit determines the relevance according to the window of the activated application and the window of the application being used. It is preferable to judge.

  With such a configuration, for example, when the window of the activated application and the window of the application being used are displayed side by side, it can be determined that the degree of association is high. Further, when the window of the activated application is overlapped so as to be positioned behind the window of the application being used, it is possible to determine that the degree of association is low. As described above, it is possible to appropriately determine the degree of association based on the front-rear relationship (the positional relationship between the front surface and the back surface) between the window of the application being started and the window of the application being used.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, a program suitably used for an application management system that manages applications according to the operation of the terminal is also included in the scope of rights, and the characteristic configuration of the program is recorded based on the operation performed on the terminal. An operation log information management function for acquiring and storing operation log information, a load information acquisition function for acquiring load information indicating a load state of the terminal, and the terminal in a predetermined load state based on the load information. A load state determination function for determining whether or not there is an application, and an application that is activated and used in the terminal based on the operation log information when it is determined that the predetermined load state is present Based on the identification and the stored operation log information. A degree of association between the application and the application being used, and a control target application notification function for notifying a control target application according to the degree of association. It is in.

  A program for such an application management system can also obtain the above-described operation and effects as in the above-described application management system as the subject of the present invention, and has various additional feature configurations described above. be able to.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a schematic configuration of an application management system 1 according to the present embodiment. The application management system 1 has a function of managing applications in accordance with terminal operations. For this reason, when the load state of a terminal becomes a predetermined value or more according to the activation of the application or the like, it is possible to reduce the load on the terminal (details will be described later). In the present embodiment, a case will be described as an example where the application management system 1 is incorporated in a terminal whose load is to be reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the present application management system 1 includes a load information acquisition unit 10, a load state determination unit 11, a predetermined value table 12, a startup application specification unit 13, a use application specification unit 14, and an operation log information management unit 15. , An operation log information storage unit 16, an association degree determination unit 17, a control target application notification unit 18, a threshold table 19, and a control execution unit 20. In addition, the starting application specific | specification part 13 and the use application specific | specification part 14 comprise the application specific | specification part 21 in a claim of this application. In the application management system 1, the above-described functional units for performing various processes for managing applications in accordance with the operation of the terminal are constructed by hardware and / or software, with a CPU as a core member. Hereinafter, the configuration of each part of the application management system 1 will be described.

  The load information acquisition unit 10 acquires load information indicating the load state of the terminal. The load state is a load state determined by the resource usage rate in the terminal, and the load information includes resource information, resource usage rate, and time information. The resource indicates various functions for operating the terminal such as an access amount to the CPU, memory, network, and hard disk. Resource information is resource information, and in the present embodiment, includes the name of the resource. The resource usage rate indicates the resource usage. The time information is information indicating the time when the predetermined load information is acquired. The load information acquired by the load information acquisition unit 10 is transmitted to a load state determination unit 11 described later.

  The load state determination unit 11 determines whether the terminal is in a predetermined load state based on the load information transmitted from the load information acquisition unit 10. The determination as to whether the load is in a predetermined state is made by determining whether the load on the terminal is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. This predetermined value is stored in the predetermined value table 12. Here, the load state used for the determination performed by the load state determination unit 11 may be a load state for each resource, or may be a load state in consideration of the entire resource in the terminal. In the present embodiment, the description will be made assuming that the load state in consideration of the entire resource is determined. In such a case, the predetermined value table 12 stores predetermined values in consideration of the entire resources in the terminal. For example, the CPU operation rate is 90% or more, the memory free capacity is 10 MB or less, the network line free capacity is 50 kbps or less, and the like. If the load state is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the load state determination unit 11 notifies a start application specifying unit 13 and a use application specifying unit 14 described later.

  Here, the application management system 1 includes an operation log information management unit 15 that acquires and stores operation log information recorded based on an operation performed on the terminal. The operation log information is recorded in chronological order based on the operation performed on the terminal, and is stored in the operation log information storage unit 16 described later by the operation log information management unit 15. The operation log information includes operation contents related to the operation, terminal identification information, application information, file information, time information, window coordinate information, and the like. The operation content indicates the content of the target operation. For example, “start”, “end”, “copy”, “paste”, “active”, “inactive”, “move window”, and the like. The terminal identification information is information that can identify a terminal on which a target operation is performed, and includes, for example, a terminal ID. The application information includes the name of the application used when the target operation is performed. The file information includes the name of the file used by the application. The time information includes information indicating the time when the target operation is performed.

  An example of such operation log information is shown in FIG. Like the operation log information shown in FIG. 2, in addition to the above-described information, user identification information and information related to the storage location are also included. The user identification information is information that can identify a user who uses the terminal, and includes, for example, a user ID. The information on the storage location includes information indicating the storage location of the file indicated in the file information. Note that “No.” described in the operation log information shown in FIG. 2 is described for convenience of explanation, and the presence or absence thereof is not related to the scope of application of the present invention.

  The operation log information of “No. 1” in FIG. 2 describes operation log information related to an operation performed by a person having the user ID “A” in the terminal having the terminal ID “ABC12345678”. The operation indicates that “file selection” has been performed on the file having the file name “customer information” by the application “spreadsheet software A”. It is also shown that the operation was performed at “11:01 on November 30, 2007”. Further, this “customer information” file indicates that the file is stored in the location indicated in the storage location column. Thus, based on the operation log information, the application management system 1 can specify an operation performed on the terminal.

  The operation log information storage unit 16 stores the operation log information acquired by the operation log information management unit 15 as described above.

  When the load state determination unit 11 determines that the load state of the terminal is a predetermined load state, the start application specifying unit 13 specifies an application started in the terminal based on the operation log information. As described above, when the load state determination unit 11 determines that the load state of the terminal is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the activation application specifying unit 13 is notified. Therefore, the activated application specifying unit 13 can recognize that the load state of the terminal is equal to or greater than a predetermined value based on this notification.

  Upon receiving this notification, the activation application specifying unit 13 specifies an application activated on the terminal based on the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16. This specification is performed as follows. First, the activation application specifying unit 13 refers to the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16. When the operation log information includes “start” operation log information indicating that the file is to be opened and there is no “end” operation log information indicating that the file is to be closed, the file is opened. Identify the application as the currently running application. Information relating to the activated application specified in this manner is transmitted to the relevance determination unit 17 described later.

  Specifically, the operation log information will be described. The operation log information as shown in FIG. 2 is stored in the operation log information storage unit 16, and the time information related to the current time stamp is “November 30, 2007, 11:32”. The activated application identification unit 13 identifies the currently activated application when there is no “file closed” operation log information despite the presence of “file open” operation log information for the same file. To do. That is, in FIG. 2, “spreadsheet software A”, “text editor B”, and “word processor software C” correspond and are identified as the specified activated applications. In addition, the activated application specifying unit 13 may specify an application that is activated every time operation log information is acquired or at a predetermined timing.

  When the load state determination unit 11 determines that the load state of the terminal is a predetermined load state, the use application specifying unit 14 specifies an application used in the terminal based on the operation log information. As described above, when the load state determination unit 11 determines that the load state of the terminal is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the use application specifying unit 14 is notified. Therefore, the use application specifying unit 14 can recognize that the load state of the terminal is a predetermined value or more based on the notification.

  Upon receiving this notification, the used application specifying unit 14 specifies an application used in the terminal based on the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16. This specification is performed as follows. First, the use application specifying unit 14 refers to the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16. Then, based on the time information included in the operation log information, the application with the longest startup time is identified as the currently used application. It is also possible to configure the application being used from among a plurality of activated applications identified by the activated application identification unit 13. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, information indicating the activated application is transmitted from the activated application identifying unit 13 to the used application identifying unit 14. In addition, the used application specifying unit 14 may specify an application that is used every time operation log information is acquired or at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the operation log information will be described. The operation log information as shown in FIG. 2 is stored in the operation log information storage unit 16, and the time information related to the current time stamp is “November 30, 2007, 11:32”. As described above, when there is “start” operation log information and there is no “end” operation log information, the application that opens the file is identified as the currently started application. Here, as shown in the operation log information of FIG. 2, “Spreadsheet Software A” is started at “11:01 on November 30, 2007”, and “Text Editor B” is “November 30, 2007”. “Date 11:16” is started, and “Word Processor Software C” is started “November 30, 2007 11:23”. Therefore, the use application specifying unit 14 specifies the “spreadsheet software A” having the longest startup time as the application being used. Information relating to the application being used that has been specified in this way is transmitted to the degree-of-association determination unit 17 described later.

  The degree-of-association determination unit 17 determines the degree of association between the activated application and the application being used based on the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16. As described above, the activated application is specified by the activated application specifying unit 13, and the used application is specified by the used application specifying unit 14. Information relating to each identified application is transmitted to the relevance determination unit 17.

  The degree of relevance is determined as follows. It is assumed that the current time stamp is “November 30, 2007 11:40”. First, the degree-of-association determination unit 17 determines the activation time of the “spreadsheet software A” specified as the application used by the use application specifying unit 14 based on the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16. Thus, the calculation is performed from “11:01 on November 30, 2007” to “11:40 on November 30, 2007”.

  Next, the relevance determination unit 17 calculates the activation times of “spreadsheet software A”, “text editor B”, and “word processor software C” identified as applications activated by the activated application identification unit 13, respectively. To do. Here, “spreadsheet software A” is excluded because it is calculated as the startup time of the application used as described above. Based on the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16, the activation time of the “text editor B” is changed from “11:16 on November 30, 2007” to “11:40 on November 30, 2007”. Up to “minute”, the startup time of “word processor software C” is calculated from “11:23 on November 30, 2007” to “11:40 on November 30, 2007”.

  Then, the degree-of-association determination unit 17 starts simultaneously with the “spreadsheet software A” specified as the application being used based on the calculated start times of these “text editor B” and “word processor software C”. Calculate the time spent. In the case of “Text Editor B”, “24 minutes” from “11:16 on November 30, 2007” to “11:40 on November 30, 2007”, and in the case of “Word Processor C”, “2007” It is calculated as “17 minutes” from “November 30, 11:23” to “November 30, 2007, 11:40”. The relevance determination unit 17 transmits such a calculation result as a relevance to the control target application notification unit 18 described later. It is also possible to calculate the relevance by converting it into points or percentages. When converting the degree of relevance, it is preferable to provide a table for setting relevance points for time and numerical values, and to calculate the relevance points when the corresponding numerical values are calculated. Further, when the degree of relevance is converted into a percentage, the ratio of the time of simultaneous activation to the total time of starting the application may be calculated.

  The control target application notification unit 18 determines an application to be controlled according to the relevance determined by the relevance determination calculation unit 17. The application to be controlled is determined with reference to a threshold value of relevance that is predetermined in the threshold value table 19. That is, when the threshold value is set to “20 minutes”, for example, the control target application notification unit 18 notifies the non-control target application because the relevance level of “text editor B” is “24 minutes”. To do. Similarly, since the degree of association of “word processor software C” is “17 minutes”, it is determined as a control target application. Here, the control target application is an application that is controlled by the control execution unit 20 described later, and the non-control target application is an application that is not controlled by the control execution unit 20. Information regarding the application determined as the control target application is transmitted to the control execution unit 20 described later.

  The threshold value table 19 stores a predetermined threshold value used for determining an application to be controlled as described above. This threshold value is a threshold value for determining whether an application used as described above is a controlled object application or a non-controlled object application. The above-mentioned “20 minutes” is merely an example, and another value may be used. Moreover, it is also possible to display rankings in descending order of relevance without setting a threshold.

  The control execution unit 20 performs predetermined control on the control target application determined by the control target application notification unit 18 described above. As this predetermined control, it is preferable that the control target application is terminated. In addition, a user who uses the terminal may be notified to prompt the end of the control target application. That is, it is possible to notify a confirmation message “Please quit word processing software C”. By terminating the control target application in this manner, it is possible to reduce the load on the terminal. In this case, among the activated applications, the application having a low degree of association with the application being used is terminated, so that the processing after the application is terminated is not affected. Therefore, even after the application is terminated, the user can use the terminal smoothly. It is also possible to configure to change the message to be displayed according to the load state. As an example of this case, when the load state becomes very high, it is preferable to display such as “Please quit word processor software C immediately”.

  Next, application management control performed by the application management system 1 will be described using a flowchart. FIG. 3 is a flowchart regarding the management control. First, the load information acquisition unit 10 acquires load information indicating the load state of the terminal (step # 01). This load information is transmitted to the load state determination unit 11. Next, the load state determination unit 11 determines whether the load state of the terminal is equal to or greater than a predetermined value based on the load information (step # 02). The predetermined value used for this determination is stored in the predetermined value table 12.

  When the load state of the terminal is determined not to be greater than or equal to the predetermined value by the load state determination unit 11 (step # 03: No), the process is terminated. On the other hand, when the load state determination unit 11 determines that the load state of the terminal is the predetermined load state (step # 03: Yes), the load state determination unit 11 determines the activation application specifying unit 13 and the use application specifying. Notification is made to the unit 14. Upon receiving this notification, the activated application specifying unit 13 specifies the activated application based on the operation log information stored in the operation log information storing unit 16 (step # 04). Similarly, in response to the above notification, the used application specifying unit 14 specifies a used application based on the operation log information stored in the operation log information storing unit 16 (step # 05).

  Information regarding the activated application and the application being used is transmitted to the relevance determination unit 17. The degree-of-association determination unit 17 determines the degree of association between the used application and the activated application based on the information and the operation log information (Step # 06). This determination result is transmitted to the control target application notification unit 18.

  The control target application notification unit 18 determines whether or not the degree of association is less than the threshold based on the above-described degree of association and a threshold set in advance in the threshold table 19. If the degree of association is not less than the threshold (step # 07: No), the control target application notification unit 18 determines this application as a non-control target application, and ends the process. On the other hand, if the degree of association is less than the threshold (step # 07: Yes), the control target application notification unit 18 notifies this application as a control target application (step # 08). Information regarding the control target application is transmitted to the control execution unit 20.

  The control execution unit 20 performs predetermined control on the used application notified as the control target application by the control target application notification unit 18 (step # 09). As this predetermined control, for example, the control execution unit 20 may control the application that is being used to be ended, or a notification that prompts the user to end the application that is being used. This process is continuously performed by the used application specifying unit 14 until it is performed on all applications specified as being used (step 10: No). When the control target application or the non-control target application is determined for all the used applications, the process ends (step # 10: Yes).

  In this way, the application management system 1 can reduce the load on the terminal by terminating the control target application according to the load state of the terminal. In this case, among the activated applications, an application having a low degree of association with the application being used is terminated, so that the processing after the application is terminated is not affected. Therefore, even after the application is terminated, the user can use the terminal smoothly.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above embodiment, the load state determination unit 11 has been described as determining whether the terminal is in a predetermined load state based on the load information transmitted from the load information acquisition unit 10. The determination of the load state is preferably a configuration in which the load state is periodically determined every predetermined time.

  In the embodiment described above, the load state used for the determination performed by the load state determination unit 11 is described as a load state that takes into account the entire resources in the terminal. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the load state used for the determination performed by the load state determination unit 11 can be the load state for each resource. In such a case, the predetermined value stored in the predetermined value table 12 may be stored separately for each resource.

  In the above-described embodiment, the use application specifying unit 14 refers to the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16 and selects the application with the longest startup time based on the time information included in the operation log information. As described, as an application being used. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. As described below, it is possible to identify an application being used based on a predetermined operation on the application and / or time information when the predetermined operation is performed.

(1) For example, when the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit 16 is configured to include active state information indicating whether the application is in an active state, based on the active state information Of course, it is also possible to identify the currently active application as the application being used.

(2) For example, based on the active state information, it is possible to identify an application that has the longest active state as an application in use. In other words, it is preferable to identify the application having the longest editing time as the application being used.

(3) For example, when the load state determined by the load state determination unit 11 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is possible to identify an application in an active state as an application being used. Even in this case, the identification can be made based on the active state information included in the operation log information.

(4) For example, it is possible to use an application having the largest total size (area) of windows in a predetermined time. In addition, the sum can be the sum of the areas of the windows displayed on the screen during the time when the application is activated. In such a case, it is preferable to calculate the area excluding the portion hidden behind the other windows.

  In the above-described embodiment, the relevance level determination unit 17 has been described as determining the relevance level according to the time when the application being used and the activated application are simultaneously activated. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. As described below, the degree of association between the activated application and the application being used can be determined in accordance with both predetermined operations and / or time information when the predetermined operations are performed. In such a case, the threshold value stored in the threshold value table 19 can be changed according to the configuration.

(1) For example, it is possible to calculate the ratio of the time that is started simultaneously with the application being used in the total startup time of the applications that are being started, and if the ratio is large, the degree of relevance may be high It is.

(2) For example, it is possible to determine the relevance level according to the number of operations performed between the application being used and the application being activated. That is, when a related operation such as copying and pasting, which is performed between the application being used and the activated application, is performed, the degree of relevance can be high.

(3) For example, it is possible to calculate the degree of association according to the file name of the file used in the activated application and the file name of the file used in the used application. That is, depending on the similarity between the name of the application being used and the name of the activated application, or the similarity between the file name opened by the application being used and the file name opened by the activated application It is possible that the degree of relevance is high. Specifically, when the similarity is high, the degree of association can be high.

(4) For example, it is possible to determine the degree of association according to the window of the application being started and the window of the application being used. That is, the degree of association can be determined according to the window size, the window coordinate position, and the overlapping state of the windows. For example, when the window of the activated application and the window of the application being used are displayed side by side, it is preferable that the degree of association is high. In addition, when the window of the activated application is overlapped so as to be positioned behind the window of the application being used, it is preferable that the degree of association is low.

(5) For example, it is possible to determine the degree of association according to operation log information in a terminal other than the terminal from which the load information is acquired. That is, it is possible to determine the degree of relevance based on operation log information of a third party who is not the principal. With such a configuration, for example, since the degree of association can be determined based on operation log information of people in the same department, it is easy to determine the degree of association in a department where there are many people who perform similar operations. It becomes.

  In the above embodiment, the threshold value table 19 has been described as storing a predetermined threshold value used for determining an application to be controlled. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, this threshold value can be configured to change according to the load information.

  In the above embodiment, the control execution unit 20 has been described as performing predetermined control on the control target application notified by the control target application notification unit 18. And as this control, it demonstrated that the control which terminates the application notified as a control object application is performed, or the control which notifies with respect to a user is performed. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when operation log information of an application notified as a control target application is retrieved from the operation log information storage unit 16 and there are a plurality of applications activated by the control target application, control is performed on a file with less operation log information. It is also possible to configure so that

  Further, for example, the control execution unit 20 performs control to end the application notified as the control target application, and then restarts the ended application again when the load state of the terminal becomes lighter. It is also possible to configure. In such a case, for example, application information specifying the terminated application is saved, and when the load state of the terminal becomes light, the terminated application is restarted by referring to the application information. It is preferable.

  In the flowchart in the above embodiment, even if the load state is a predetermined load state (step # 03: Yes), if the degree of relevance is not less than the threshold (step # 07: No), the process ends without performing any processing. explained. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the relevance level of all the used applications is less than the threshold, it is preferable that the control execution unit 20 controls the application having the highest relevance level. With such a configuration, it is possible to eliminate a state in which the load state of the terminal is kept high without performing any processing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the application management system 1 has been described as an example when incorporated in a terminal. However, the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this.
