  The setting target device 300 is a setting target device, for example, a network device such as a router. The setting target device 300 is connected to the setting terminal 100 via a serial interface such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus). Note that the connection method is not limited to serial connection, and may be connected via a network, for example.

  The above is the configuration of the setting support system 1.

  Next, the hardware configuration of each device constituting the setting support system 1 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, each device constituting the setting support system 1 includes a control unit 11, a main storage unit 12, an external storage unit 13, an operation unit 14, a display unit 15, and a transmission / reception unit 16. , Is composed of. The main storage unit 12, the external storage unit 13, the operation unit 14, the display unit 15, and the transmission / reception unit 16 are all connected to the control unit 11 via the internal bus 10.

  The transmission / reception unit 16 includes a serial interface or a LAN (Local Area Network) interface. The transmission / reception unit 16 receives information transmitted from each device illustrated in FIG. 1 via a serial interface or a network. The transmission / reception unit 16 supplies the received information and the like to the control unit 11.

  The external storage unit 13 includes a nonvolatile memory such as a flash memory, a hard disk, a DVD-RAM (Digital Versatile Disc Random Access Memory), and a DVD-RW (Digital Versatile Disc Rewriteable), and controls each process described below. The program 19 is stored in advance, and the data stored in the external storage unit 13 is supplied to the control unit 11 in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 11, and the data supplied from the control unit 11 is stored.

  The main storage unit 12 includes a RAM (Random-Access Memory) and the like, reads the program 19 stored in the external storage unit 13, and is also used as a work area for the control unit 11.

  The control unit 11 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the like, and executes each process described later according to a program 19 stored in the external storage unit 13.

  The operation unit 14 includes an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, an operation key, and a touch panel, and an interface device that connects the input device and the like to the internal bus 10.

  The display unit 15 includes an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence). The display unit 15 displays each data and information.

  Each device in the setting support system 1 is not necessarily provided with the above-described components. The hardware configuration described above is an example of a general information processing apparatus. For example, the setting target apparatus 300 does not necessarily include the operation unit 14 and the display unit 15.

  The hardware configuration of each device constituting the setting support system 1 has been described above.

  Next, a detailed configuration of the setting support system 1 will be described.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the setting terminal 100 includes an information acquisition unit 110 and a setting reflection unit 120.

  The information acquisition unit 110 acquires position information, atmospheric pressure information, and an identification number that uniquely identifies the terminal, and transmits the acquired information to the file specifying apparatus 200 via the network. The information acquisition unit 110 includes a GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna, and obtains current position information based on a plurality of GPS signals received from GPS satellites.

  Further, the information acquisition unit 110 includes an atmospheric pressure sensor, for example, detects a change in the distance between the electrodes of the capacitor as a change in capacitance, and obtains atmospheric pressure information. The identification number is stored in advance in the external storage unit 13, and the information acquisition unit 110 acquires the identification number from the external storage unit 13. The identification number is, for example, a telephone number of the setting terminal 100 or a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card ID.

  The setting reflection unit 120 receives the setting file from the file identification device 200 and reflects the received setting file on the setting target device 300. The setting reflection method is performed by transmitting a setting file to the setting target device 300, for example. Since the general setting target device 300 has a function of reading the setting from the setting file, the setting is reflected only by the setting reflection unit 120 transmitting the setting file to the setting target device 300.

  The information acquisition unit 110 and the setting reflection unit 120 are functional units that are provided by the program 19 and are realized by the control unit 11 and the main storage unit 12 operating in cooperation.

  The file identification device 200 includes an information reception unit 210, a file identification unit 220, and a file storage unit 230.

  The information receiving unit 210 receives the above-described information acquired by the setting terminal 100 via the network, and outputs the received information to the file specifying unit 220. The information receiving unit 210 obtains altitude information based on the atmospheric pressure information and outputs the obtained altitude information to the file specifying unit 220 when outputting each information to the file specifying unit 220.

  The file specifying unit 220 specifies a setting file corresponding to the information received with reference to the file storage unit 230 based on each piece of information received from the information receiving unit 210.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the file storage unit 230 stores position information, barometric pressure information, altitude information, an identification number, and a setting file in association with each other. The file storage unit 230 also stores the setting file itself. Note that the file storage unit 230 need not necessarily store the identification number, the atmospheric pressure information, and the altitude information in association with each other when the unique setting file can be identified based on the position information.

  The file storage unit 230 stores the above-described information in advance, and is stored by an engineer with skills at the time of development of the setting target device 300 or the conception of a system that employs the setting target device 300. .

  The information receiving unit 210 and the file specifying unit 220 are functional units provided by the program 19 and realized by the control unit 11 and the main storage unit 12 operating in cooperation.

  For example, the file specifying device 200 can specify a building such as a building in which the setting target device 300 is arranged by receiving position information from the setting terminal 100 connected to the setting target device 300. Further, the file identification device 200 can identify the floor (the number of floors, etc.) of the building by receiving the atmospheric pressure information from the setting terminal 100. That is, the file identification device 200 can recognize which floor of which building the setting target device 300 is arranged based on the position information and the atmospheric pressure information. The file specifying device 200 may store such building / floor information and a setting file in association with each other.

  If a plurality of setting target devices 300 are arranged at the same pressure (floor) in the same position (building), the file specifying device 200 sets the detailed position of the floor via the setting terminal 100. Even when a plurality of setting target devices 300 are arranged on the same floor of the same building, a unique setting file can be reflected on each setting target device 300.

  The detailed configuration of the setting support system 1 has been described above.

  Next, an example of the operation of the setting support system 1 will be described.

  For example, assume that the setting target device 300 is arranged in a certain system. In this case, first, the delivery company transports the setting target device 300 to a place where the system is located. At this time, the delivery company has the setting terminal 100.

  The delivery company arranges the setting target device 300 at a predetermined location, sets various cables (LAN cable and power cable), and connects the setting terminal 100 and the setting target device 300 via USB.

  Then, the delivery company operates the setting terminal 100 to start the setting process.

  When the setting process is started, the setting terminal 100 establishes communication with the file specifying device 200 as shown in FIG. 5 (S101). When the setting terminal 100 attempts to establish communication with the file specifying apparatus 200, the file specifying apparatus 200 starts a file specifying process and establishes communication with the setting terminal (S102).

  At this time, if communication with the file identification device 200 cannot be established, such as when the radio wave is not good, the setting terminal 100 displays that fact on the display unit 15 and ends the process.

  Next, the information acquisition unit 110 of the setting terminal 100 acquires position information based on the GPS (S103), acquires atmospheric pressure information based on the atmospheric pressure sensor (S104), and the identification number of the own terminal from the external storage unit 13 Is acquired (S105).

  The information acquisition unit 110 transmits the acquired information to the file identification device 200 (S106).

  The information receiving unit 210 of the file specifying apparatus 200 receives each piece of information from the setting terminal 100, obtains altitude information, and outputs it to the file specifying unit 220. The file specifying unit 220 refers to the file storage unit 230 and determines whether there is a setting file corresponding to each received information (S107).

  When determining, the file specifying unit 220 first determines whether there is a setting file corresponding to the position information received from the setting terminal 100. If there are a plurality of corresponding setting files, the file specifying unit 220 uses the identification number and altitude information. You may narrow down the configuration file. That is, when the file specifying unit 220 can specify a unique setting file based on the position information, it is not necessary to refer to the identification number or the altitude information. In addition, the file specifying unit 220 may narrow down setting files corresponding to position information, altitude information, and identification number from the beginning.

  When there is a setting file corresponding to each received information (S107; YES), the file specifying unit 220 acquires the setting file (S108), transmits the acquired setting file to the setting terminal 100 (S110), and performs processing. Exit.

  When there is no setting file corresponding to each received information (S107; NO), the file specifying unit 220 acquires a default setting file (S109), and transmits the acquired setting file to the setting terminal 100 (S110). The process ends.

  When receiving the setting file from the file specifying device 200 (S111), the setting terminal 100 transmits the setting file to the setting target device 300 (S112) and ends the process.

  Note that the default setting file is stored in the file specifying device 200 in advance, and the setting target device 300 reflecting the setting of the file operates to the extent that the system is not abnormally performed.

  The above is an example of the operation of the setting support system 1.

  As described above, the setting support system 1 according to the present embodiment specifies a setting file based on the position information, the atmospheric pressure information, and the identification number of the setting terminal 100, and the setting of the file is reflected in the setting target device 300. Therefore, even a worker without skill can easily set the setting target device 300.

  Further, since the file specifying device 200 does not need to store information for uniquely specifying the setting target device 300, even if the setting target device 300 has an initial failure, it can be exchanged on the spot. That is, the setting file is associated with the location of the setting target device 300 such as position information and atmospheric pressure information, not the setting target device 300 itself. For this reason, for example, even when a plurality of setting target devices 300 are arranged, the setting target devices 300 having the same function may be arranged anywhere.

(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, a setting support system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the part equivalent to the setting assistance system 1 which concerns on Embodiment 1. FIG.

  In the case of the setting support system 1 according to the first embodiment, when the file specifying device 200 arranges a plurality of setting target devices 300 on the same floor of the same building, the detailed position of the floor is set via the setting terminal 100. A detailed position in the floor is specified by allowing 100 users to input. In the present embodiment, a setting support system capable of automatically specifying a detailed position even in such a case will be described.

  The setting support system 2 according to the present embodiment has the same device configuration as the setting support system 1 as shown in FIG.

  The setting terminal 100 according to the setting support system 2 includes a movement information transmission unit 130 in addition to the information acquisition unit 110 and the setting reflection unit 120.

  The movement information transmission part 130 is provided with measuring instruments, such as an acceleration sensor, and calculates | requires the moving direction of east, west, south, and north, when the setting terminal 100 moves. That is, when the setting terminal 100 moves from the south side to the north side, the movement information transmission unit 130 obtains the movement direction as “south to north”. In the following description, in order to facilitate understanding, a case where four directions of east, west, north, and north are obtained will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and 16 directions such as southeast and north-northwest can be obtained.

  The movement information transmission unit 130 is a functional unit that is provided by the program 19 and is realized by the control unit 11 and the main storage unit 12 operating in cooperation.

  The file specifying apparatus 200 according to the setting support system 2 includes a detailed position specifying unit 240 in addition to the information receiving unit 210, the file specifying unit 220, and the file storage unit 230.

  The detailed position specifying unit 240 receives the above-described movement information from the setting terminal 100, and obtains a detailed position where the setting target device 300 is arranged based on the received movement information. The detailed position specifying unit 240 specifies a setting file with reference to the file storage unit 230 based on the obtained detailed position.

  The detailed position specifying unit 240 is a functional unit that is provided by the program 19 and is realized by the control unit 11 and the main storage unit 12 operating in cooperation.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the file storage unit 230 stores detailed position information in association with the setting file together with position information, atmospheric pressure information, and the like.

  The detailed configuration of the setting support system 2 has been described above.

  Next, an example of the operation of the setting support system 2 will be described. In the description here, the case where the setting target device 300 is arranged in a certain system will be described as in the description in the first embodiment.

  Similar to the setting support system 1 according to the first embodiment, the setting terminal 100 starts the setting process, and transmits the position information, the atmospheric pressure information, and the identification number information to the file specifying device 200. The file specifying device 200 The specifying process is started, and the corresponding setting file is specified based on the information received by the file specifying unit 220.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the file specifying unit 220 determines whether or not detailed position information is necessary in addition to the received information (S201). For example, when there are two or more setting files specified based on each received information, that is, when there are a plurality of setting files specified based on position information, atmospheric pressure information, altitude information, and identification numbers, the file specifying unit 220 Then, it is determined that detailed position specification is necessary.

  When the file specifying unit 220 determines that detailed position information is necessary (S201; YES), the detailed position specifying unit 240 performs a detailed position specifying process (S202) and ends the process. The detailed position specifying unit 240 causes the setting terminal 100 to start the movement information transmission process when starting the process. And the movement information transmission part 130 of the setting terminal 100 starts a movement information transmission process (S203), and complete | finishes a process. These processes will be described later.

  When the file specifying unit 220 determines that detailed location information is unnecessary (S201; NO), the file specifying unit 220 acquires a setting file (S108) and acquires the same as described in the first embodiment. The setting file thus transmitted is transmitted (S110), and the process is terminated.

  The setting terminal 100 receives the setting file (S111), transmits the setting file to the setting target device 300 (S112), and ends the process.

  The above is an example of the operation of the setting support system 2.

  Subsequently, an example of the above-described detailed position specifying process (step S202 in FIG. 8) and the movement information transmission process (step S203 in FIG. 8) will be described. Here, the case where the 1st setting object apparatus 300 and the 2nd setting object apparatus 300 are arrange | positioned in the place of the same position and the same atmospheric pressure is demonstrated.

  When starting the detailed position specifying process, the detailed position specifying unit 240 causes the setting terminal 100 to start the movement information transmission process and transmits a display instruction to the setting terminal 100 as shown in FIG. 9 (S301).

  When starting the movement information transmission process, the movement information transmission unit 130 receives a display instruction from the detailed position specifying unit 240 and displays an operation instruction to the user via the display unit 15 (S302). This instruction is, for example, “Please move the terminal from the current setting target device to a position to be set next”.

  After displaying the operation instruction as described above, the movement information transmission unit 130 waits for the user to operate (S303). Here, if the user does not start the operation even after a certain time has elapsed, the movement information transmission unit 130 transmits an error to the file identification device 200 and ends the process.

  When the user moves the setting terminal 100 according to the operation instruction, the movement information transmitting unit 130 acquires movement information after the setting terminal 100 has moved (S304). For example, the user moves the setting terminal 100 from the first setting target device 300 to the second setting target device 300 in accordance with an instruction “move the terminal from the current setting target device to a position to be set next”. After the movement, the movement information transmission unit 130 acquires from which direction to which direction it has moved via the acceleration sensor. When the user moves the setting terminal 100 from south to north, the movement information transmission unit 130 obtains movement information as “from south to north”.

  Next, the movement information transmission unit 130 transmits the obtained movement information to the file identification device 200 (S305).

  When receiving the movement information from the setting terminal 100, the detailed position specifying unit 240 obtains the arrangement direction of the first setting target device 300 (S306). For example, when the movement information “from south to north” is received, the detailed position specifying unit 240 indicates that the detailed position of the first setting target device 300 is “south” and the detailed position of the second setting target device 300 is “north”. ", Asking.

  Next, the detailed position specifying unit 240 refers to the file storage unit 230 and determines whether there is a setting file corresponding to the determined detailed position (S307). That is, a unique setting file is specified based on detailed position information from among a plurality of setting files corresponding to the same position information and the same atmospheric pressure (altitude) information obtained by the file specifying unit 220.

  When there is a setting file corresponding to the obtained detailed position (S307; YES), the detailed position specifying unit 240 specifies the setting file (S308), and transmits the specified setting file to the setting terminal 100 (S310).

  When there is no setting file corresponding to the obtained detailed position (S307; NO), the detailed position specifying unit 240 specifies a default setting file (S309), and transmits the specified setting file to the setting terminal 100 (S310). .

  When the setting terminal 100 receives the setting file (S312), the movement information transmission unit 130 displays an instruction to connect the user with the setting target device 300 (S313). This display is, for example, “Please reconnect to the device that was connected earlier”.

  When the setting terminal 100 and the first setting target device 300 are connected, the setting terminal 100 transmits a setting file to the first setting target device 300 (S314).

  By performing the processing in this way, the setting to the first setting target device 300 connected previously is completed. After this setting process, the movement information transmitting unit 130 and the detailed position specifying unit 240 determine whether or not the setting of all the setting target devices 300 has been completed (S311 and S315). Note that the setting terminal 100 may perform this determination by causing the user to input this determination.

  When the settings of all the setting target devices 300 are not completed (S311; NO, S315; NO), the detailed position specifying unit 240 returns to step S306, and the movement information transmitting unit 130 returns to step S312.

  The detailed position specifying unit 240 specifies the detailed position of the second setting target device 300 based on the movement information received in the previous process (S306). After specifying the detailed position, the detailed position specifying unit 240 transmits the setting file of the second setting target device 300 to the setting terminal 100 through the determination of the setting file (S307) and the specification of the setting file (S308, S309). (S310). And the detailed position specific | specification part 240 discriminate | determines that the setting to all the setting object apparatuses 300 was completed (S311; YES), and complete | finishes a process.

  The movement information transmission unit 130 receives the setting file from the file identification device 200 (S312), and displays a connection instruction with the second setting target device 300 (S313). After that, the movement information transmitting unit 130 transmits the setting file to the setting target device 300 (S314), determines that the settings for all the setting target devices 300 are completed (S315; YES), and ends the process.

  By performing the processing in this way, the setting of the second setting target device 300 is completed. Even when three or more setting target devices 300 are arranged at the same position and the same atmospheric pressure, the same processing is performed.

  In addition, although the process which sets the setting object apparatus 300 separately was demonstrated here, it is not restricted to this, For example, the file specific apparatus 200 transmits the setting terminal 100 several setting files at once, and the setting terminal 100 carries out. Processing for setting each setting target device 300 may be performed while holding the setting file.

  The above is an example of the detailed position specifying process (step S202 in FIG. 8) and the movement information transmission process (step S203 in FIG. 8).

  Next, in order to facilitate understanding, an example of a specific operation of the setting support system 2 will be described. In this specific example, a case where the setting terminal 100 is a smartphone and the setting target device 300 is a router will be described.

  First, when arranging the router A that is the setting target device 300, the delivery company arranges the router A on the designated floor of the designated building as shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, the delivery company connects the designated smartphone A with the router A using a USB cable. When the connection is completed, the delivery company operates the smartphone A and issues a setting start instruction.

  When a setting start instruction is issued, the smartphone A establishes a connection with the file identification device 200, acquires the current position information, atmospheric pressure information, and telephone number, and transmits them to the file identification device 200. At this time, the position information is “north latitude 35” 38′37.61, east longitude 139 ″ 12′06.35 ”, the atmospheric pressure information is“ 1013.4 hpa ”, and the identification number is“ 080222222222 ”. ”.

  The file specifying device 200 specifies a setting file based on the received position information, atmospheric pressure information, and telephone number. When the received information is the above-described information and each file shown in FIG. 7 is stored in the file storage unit 230, the file specifying device 200 specifies “config02.conf” as the setting file. The file identification device 200 transmits the identified “config02.conf” file to the smartphone A, and the smartphone A transmits the received “config02.conf” file to the router A.

  Thus, the delivery company can arrange the router A by simply placing the router A at the designated location and pressing the button of the smartphone A.

  Next, when the router B and the router C are arranged, the delivery company arranges the router B and the router C at a designated location, and first connects the router B and the designated smartphone B by USB, A setting start instruction is issued.

  The smartphone B establishes a connection with the file specifying device 200, acquires the current position information, atmospheric pressure information, and identification number, and transmits them to the file specifying device 200. At this time, the position information is “north latitude 35” 38′37.61, east longitude 139 ″ 12′06.35 ”, the atmospheric pressure information is“ 1013.5 hpa ”, and the identification number is“ 08033333333 ”. ”.

  The file specifying device 200 specifies a setting file based on the received position information, atmospheric pressure information, and telephone number. When the received information is the above-described information, the file specifying device 200 refers to the file storage unit 230 illustrated in FIG. 7 and specifies two files “config04.conf” and “config05.conf” as setting files.

  In this case, in order to reflect the unique setting file in the routers B and C, detailed location information is required, and the file specifying device 200 issues an instruction to the delivery company via the smartphone B and moves the smartphone B. . The smartphone B displays “Please move from the currently connected device to the planned placement location of the device to be set next” on the screen according to the instruction of the file specifying device 200.

  The delivery company moves the smartphone B from the router B to the router C according to the guidance on the screen of the smartphone B. At this time, the router B and the smartphone B are temporarily disconnected.

  Smartphone B acquires movement information as the terminal moves. In this case, information indicating that the movement has been performed from “north to south” is acquired, and this movement information is transmitted to the file identification device 200.

  Upon receiving the movement information, the file specifying device 200 specifies the detailed position of the router B. When the smartphone B is moved from the router B to the router C, the file specifying apparatus 200 can determine that the router B is arranged on the north side and the router C is arranged on the south side.

  By determining the detailed positions of the routers B and C in this way, the file specifying apparatus 200 has a unique setting for each router, such as “config04.conf” for the router B and “config05.conf” for the router C. The file can be allocated.

  Upon receiving the setting file, the smartphone B instructs the delivery company to return the connection with the original router, and reflects “config04.conf” on the router B after the connection with the router B.

  After that, an instruction is given to connect to the router C to be set next, and the “config05.conf” file is reflected on the device to be set next, that is, the router C.

  In this way, the delivery company can complete the setting of the routers B and C simply by placing the routers B and C at designated locations, pressing the button on the smartphone B, and operating according to the guidance on the screen.

  The above is an example of a specific operation of the setting support system 2.

  As described above, the setting support system 2 according to the present embodiment can obtain the same effects as those of the setting support system 1 according to the first embodiment, and further, the setting target device 300 is set to the same position information and atmospheric pressure information. Even in the case of arranging, the configuration file can be reflected at the top.

  In addition, since the detailed position is specified based on the movement information and the setting file is specified based on the specific position, even a worker without skill can easily set the setting target device 300.

  In addition, since a detailed position can be automatically specified, human error can be reduced.

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the placement location of the setting target device 300 is the same position information and the same atmospheric pressure information and the placement location of a more detailed direction is specified based on the acceleration sensor has been described. Absent. That is, even when there are a plurality of setting files specified from the arrangement location of the setting target device 300, a method for assigning a unique setting file to the setting target device 300 is arbitrary.

  For example, the setting order of the setting target device 300 may be determined in advance, and the file specifying device 200 may be configured to specify the setting file according to the setting order. When this configuration is adopted, the file storage unit 230 of the file identification device 200 may store the “setting order” in association with the detailed position shown in FIG.

  In addition, for example, a delivery company of the setting target device 300 inputs an identifier for specifying a detailed position such as a rack number or a room number of an arrangement location, and the file specifying device 200 specifies a setting file based on the identifier. It may be configured. When this configuration is adopted, the file storage unit 230 of the file identification device 200 may store “detailed position identifier” in association with the detailed position shown in FIG.

  Further, for example, a detailed position may be specified by communicating with the setting terminal 100 using an apparatus existing at the arrangement location. For example, a detailed position may be specified by wireless LAN communication between the setting terminal 100 and the access point using a wireless LAN access point. In addition, for example, a detailed position may be specified by communication between the setting terminal 100 using Bluetooth and the apparatus.

  In the present embodiment, the setting target device 300 is set based on the setting file stored in the file specifying device 200. When the setting target device 300 is a network device such as a router, the setting file includes an IP ( Information on various networks such as an Internet Protocol address is described. The file specifying device 200 can create an IP address based on the position information and automatically create a setting file even if an IP address or the like is not determined in advance.

  When adopting this configuration, for example, when the file specifying apparatus 200 generates a list of IP addresses created based on the position information and then receives position information of a place close to the position information of the list, An operation such as describing an IP address of the same network as the IP address in the setting file is performed. As described above, when the file specifying device 200 learns the setting file, if the system builder or the engineer stores only a certain rule, it is not necessary to create the setting file in advance.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration for specifying the arrangement location (building, floor, etc.) of the setting target device 300 based on the position information, the atmospheric pressure information, and the moving direction has been described. It is optional if can be specified. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the address of the arrangement location is stored in advance in association with the setting file, and the setting file is specified by the delivery company inputting the address via the setting terminal 100.

  In addition, the setting support systems 1 and 2 according to the present embodiment can be realized using a normal computer system without using a dedicated system. For example, the program 19 for executing the above-described operation is stored and distributed on a computer-readable recording medium (flexible disk, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.), and the program 19 is installed in the computer. Thus, the setting support systems 1 and 2 that execute the above-described processing may be configured. Alternatively, the setting support systems 1 and 2 may be configured by storing the program 19 in a storage device included in a file identification device on a communication network such as the Internet and downloading it by a normal computer system.

  When the functions of the setting support systems 1 and 2 are realized by sharing of an OS (operating system) and an application program, or by cooperation between the OS and the application program, only the application program portion is recorded on a recording medium or a storage device May be stored.

  It is also possible to superimpose the program 19 on a carrier wave and distribute it via a communication network. For example, the program 19 may be posted on a bulletin board (BBS: Bulletin Board System) on a communication network, and the program 19 may be distributed via the network. The program 19 may be activated and executed in the same manner as other application programs under the control of the OS, so that the above-described processing can be executed.

  Note that the present invention can be variously modified and modified without departing from the broad meaning and scope of the present invention. Further, the above-described embodiment is for explaining the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the present invention. That is, the scope of the present invention is shown not by the embodiments but by the claims. Various modifications within the scope of the claims and within the scope of the equivalent invention are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
