Description

  The present invention relates to a user environment restoration system and a user environment restoration method for restoring a user environment of a first terminal to a second terminal.

  In recent years, with the advancement of corporate IT systems, the use of PCs in offices has become common. There are various forms of use of a PC in an office. For example, there is one that provides a shared terminal that can be used by a plurality of users. In this form, conventionally, a user stores a data file of a user terminal in an external storage device such as a flash memory, and uses the external storage device connected to a shared terminal.

Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for carrying various information on a PC desktop, folders, mail software, browser history, cookies, and the like using a USB memory.
http://www.finaldata.jp/product/mp1_1.html

  In the above-described prior art, OS setting information, network setting information, and application setting information, which are environment information of the user terminal, are not stored in the USB memory, so that the shared terminal has the same environment as the user terminal. Must manually set the same environment as the user terminal.

  To solve this problem, a script for dumping the OS setting information, network setting information, and application setting information of the user terminal to restore the OS setting information, network setting information, and application setting information suitable for the shared terminal (Command string) must be created in advance. However, since the OS setting information, network setting information, and application setting information of the shared terminal are not constant, it is difficult to create them universally.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and a user environment restoration system and user environment that can automatically restore the user environment of the first terminal to the second terminal. An object is to provide a restoration method.

  In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, in the user environment restoration system for restoring the user environment of the first terminal to the second terminal, the first terminal is a user of the first terminal. Information table generation means for acquiring environment information and generating a user environment information table based on the user environment information, and storage for storing the user environment information table generated by the information table generation means in an external storage device And the second terminal reads the user environment information table stored in the external storage device, and the first terminal is transferred to the second terminal based on the user environment information table. And an environment restoring means for restoring the user environment.

  In this case, the user environment information includes the OS setting information for restoring the OS of the first terminal, the network setting information for restoring the network of the first terminal, and the application of the first terminal.

  In these cases, the user environment information table includes a restoration order that is an attribute relating to the order of restoring the user environment of the first terminal, and an attribute relating to authority for restoring the user environment of the first terminal. And a dependency that is an attribute relating to the presence / absence of restrictions on restoring the user environment of the first terminal.

  In this case, the environment restoration unit is configured to use the user of the first terminal based on the information stored in the restoration order, the information stored in the management authority, and the information stored in the dependency relationship. It may be characterized by restoring the environment.

  In the user environment restoration method in the user environment restoration system for restoring the user environment of the first terminal to the second terminal, the first terminal acquires the user environment information of the first terminal. An information table generation step for generating a user environment information table based on the user environment information, and the user environment information table generated by the first terminal in the information table generation step in an external storage device A storing step for storing, and the second terminal reads the user environment information table stored in the external storage device, and the first terminal is transferred to the second terminal based on the user environment information table. And an environment restoration step for restoring the user environment.

  In this case, the user environment information includes the OS setting information for restoring the OS of the first terminal, the network setting information for restoring the network of the first terminal, and the application of the first terminal. It may be characterized by having at least one of application setting information for restoration.

  In these cases, the user environment information table includes a restoration order that is an attribute relating to the order of restoring the user environment of the first terminal, and an attribute relating to authority for restoring the user environment of the first terminal. And a dependency that is an attribute relating to the presence / absence of restrictions on restoring the user environment of the first terminal.

  In this case, the environment restoration step includes the user of the first terminal based on the information stored in the restoration order, the information stored in the management authority, and the information stored in the dependency relationship. It may be characterized by restoring the environment.

  In the user environment restoration system and the user environment restoration method according to the present invention, since the user environment information table is generated based on the user environment information, the user environment of the first terminal is automatically set to the second terminal. Can be restored.

  In addition, the user environment information table includes a restoration order that is an attribute relating to the order of restoring the user environment of the first terminal, a management authority that is an attribute relating to the authority to restore the user environment of the first terminal, When there is a dependency that is an attribute relating to the presence / absence of restrictions on restoring the user environment of the first terminal, only a user who has the authority to restore the user environment of the first terminal has the first order in the correct order.
