Description

上記目的を達成する為、ネットワークに接続されたデバイスを利用するためのデバイスドライバをインストール可能なクライアント装置と通信可能なサーバ装置であって、前記クライアント装置の設置場所情報を含む設定状態を記憶するクライアント情報記憶手段と、前記デバイスの設置場所情報を含む設定状態を記憶するデバイス情報記憶手段と、前記クライアント装置の設置場所に対応するフロアに、前記デバイスの設置場所に応じてデバイスがレイアウト表示されるデバイスマップを生成するデバイスマップ生成手段と、前記クライアント装置にインストールされたデバイスドライバに対応したデバイスを特定可能なインストールデバイス特定手段と、前記インストールデバイス特定手段により特定されたデバイスが前記クライアント装置の設置されたフロアにあるか否かを判定する判定手段と、を有し、前記デバイスマップ生成手段は、前記判定手段により前記特定されたデバイスが前記クライアント装置と同じフロアにあると判定された場合、該クライアント装置と同じフロアのデバイスマップに当該デバイスをレイアウトし、一方、同じフロアにないと判定された場合には、当該デバイスを前記デバイスマップが表示するフロアに設置されていないことを識別可能に表示されるようデバイスマップを生成することを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the server device is capable of communicating with a client device capable of installing a device driver for using a device connected to a network, and stores a setting state including installation location information of the client device. The device information storage means, the device information storage means for storing the setting state including the installation location information of the device, and the device according to the installation location of the device are displayed in a layout on the floor corresponding to the installation location of the client device. A device map generating unit that generates a device map, an installation device specifying unit that can specify a device corresponding to a device driver installed in the client device, and a device specified by the installation device specifying unit is the client Determining means for determining whether or not the device is located on the floor where the device is installed, wherein the device map generating means determines that the specified device is on the same floor as the client device by the determining means. If the device is laid out on the device map on the same floor as the client device, and it is determined that the device is not on the same floor, it is determined that the device is not installed on the floor displayed by the device map. A device map is generated so as to be displayed in an identifiable manner.

Claims

A server device capable of communicating with a client device capable of installing a device driver for using a device connected to a network,
Client information storage means for storing a setting state including installation location information of the client device;
Device information storage means for storing a setting state including installation location information of the device;
Device map generating means for generating a device map in which devices are laid out according to the installation location of the device on the floor corresponding to the installation location of the client device;
An installation device specifying means capable of specifying a device corresponding to a device driver installed in the client device;
Determination means for determining whether or not the device specified by the installation device specifying means is on a floor on which the client device is installed;
When the determination unit determines that the specified device is on the same floor as the client device, the device map generation unit lays out the device on a device map on the same floor as the client device, while the same When it is determined that the device is not on the floor, the server device generates a device map so that the device is displayed in an identifiable manner that the device is not installed on the floor displayed by the device map.

A difference determination unit that compares a setting state of the device specified by the installation device specifying unit with a setting state when the client device previously accessed the device map ;
The server device according to claim 1, wherein the device map generation unit performs display control so as to be identifiable when the difference determination unit determines that the setting state of the device is different.

The device map generation means displays the device in the previously installed location when the difference determination means determines that the installation location of the device installed in the client device has been moved within the generated device map. The server apparatus according to claim 2, wherein display control is performed for a mark indicating that the device is moved with respect to the device displayed at the current installation location.

The device map generation means, when the difference determination means determines that the device driver version of the device displayed in the device map has been changed, a driver providing means for providing the changed version of the device driver. The server device according to claim 2, further comprising:

Client information storage means for storing a setting state including installation location information of the client device, capable of communicating with a client device capable of installing a device driver for using a device connected to a network, and installation location information of the device A device information storage means for storing a setting state including: a server device control method comprising:
A device map generating step for generating a device map in which devices are laid out according to the installation location of the device on a floor corresponding to the installation location of the client device;
An installation device identification step capable of identifying a device corresponding to a device driver installed in the client device;
A determination step of determining whether or not the device specified in the installation device specification step is on the floor where the client device is installed.
The device map generation step lays out the device on a device map on the same floor as the client device when the determined device is determined to be on the same floor as the client device, while the same When it is determined that the device is not on the floor, the server device generates a device map so that the device is displayed in an identifiable manner that the device is not installed on the floor displayed by the device map.

Client information storage means for storing a setting state including installation location information of the client device, capable of communicating with a client device capable of installing a device driver for using a device connected to a network, and installation location information of the device A server information storage means for storing a setting state including:
Device map generating means for generating a device map in which devices are laid out according to the installation location of the device on the floor corresponding to the installation location of the client device;
An installation device specifying means capable of specifying a device corresponding to a device driver installed in the client device;
Determination means for determining whether or not the device specified by the installation device specifying means is on a floor on which the client device is installed;
When the determination unit determines that the specified device is on the same floor as the client device, the device map generation unit lays out the device on a device map on the same floor as the client device, while the same If it is determined that the device is not on the floor, a device map is generated so that the device is displayed in an identifiable manner that the device is not installed on the floor displayed by the device map.
