Description

  The present invention relates to a clipping system, a clipping device, a clipping method, and a clipping program, and more particularly to a technique for easily performing clipping for displaying only a necessary screen or a screen component among applications composed of a plurality of screens.

  When a user designates a desired screen among applications (for example, web applications) that change a plurality of screens (for example, web pages) and perform predetermined processing, the designated screen is hidden from the user, and other screens are displayed. There is known an apparatus that performs a process that enables only the user to display the image. In addition, when a user specifies a desired element (for example, a button image in which a link to another screen is set) among screens (for example, web pages) configured by a plurality of elements, the specified element is selected by the user. There is known an apparatus that performs a process of hiding and displaying only other elements to the user. Hereinafter, such an information processing technique is referred to as clipping.

  Clipping is used, for example, for selecting only a necessary screen from an application or processing or customizing a screen in accordance with an individual's business contents or preferences.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, when a user designates a desired area of a web page as a clip area, the information processing apparatus stores only display content in the area together with link information included in the area, and The configuration that enables display is described. This is also an aspect of clipping.

JP 2008-226202 A

  However, the conventional clipping techniques including Patent Document 1 are intended only for a single screen. For this reason, when a link is set between the screen on which clipping is performed and another screen, in other words, when there is a link reference relationship, various inconsistencies may occur.

  For example, it is assumed that clipping that designates not to display a specific screen A is performed in an application that can transition a plurality of screens. In this case, even if there is a screen B to which a link to the screen A is set, the screen B remains as it is without being affected by the clipping. For this reason, on the screen B, an unexpected failure such as a broken link to the screen A may occur. In order to avoid such a problem, the user needs to scrutinize the link reference relationship between the screen A and another screen before clipping the screen A, and correct the screen having the link reference relationship. It is a complex and time consuming task.

  In addition, it is assumed that clipping that specifies that an element (for example, a button image) included in the screen C and a link to another screen D is not displayed is performed. In this case, the screen D is basically unnecessary for the user, that is, a screen that should not be accessed, but continues as before. Such a problem can be solved if the user further clips the screen D, but if the screen D is a link destination from another screen E, the function of the screen E is unexpected as described above. May cause problems. Therefore, the user needs to examine the link reference relationship between the screen D and another screen before clipping the screen D, but this is a complicated and time-consuming operation.

  In particular, when the number of screens constituting the application is large and the link reference relationship between the screens is complicated, there is a problem that the above-described work burden on the user becomes enormous and it is difficult to ensure accuracy. It was.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and provides a clipping system, a clipping device, a clipping method, and a clipping program capable of performing clipping while ensuring consistency between screens with a minimum setting. For the purpose.

It is a figure which shows an example of the link reference relationship between the some screens which comprise the web application. It is a figure which shows an example of the clipping definition information. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing processing of a clipping system 100. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing processing of a clipping system 100.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, the configuration of the clipping system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The clipping system 100 includes a client terminal 1, a dynamic clipping unit 2, and a web server 3. The client terminal 1, the dynamic clipping unit 2, and the web server 3 are connected to be communicable with each other via a communication infrastructure such as the Internet.

  The client terminal 1 is a personal computer, for example, and includes a central processing unit, a storage device, an input / output device, and the like. Further, it may be a mobile terminal or a mobile phone with an Internet connection function. The client terminal 1 can logically configure an arbitrary processing unit by the central processing unit executing a program stored in the storage device. The client terminal 1 includes a web browser 4 as one of such processing units.

  The web server 3 is a server computer, for example, and includes a central processing unit, a storage device, an input / output device, and the like. The web server 3 can also logically configure an arbitrary processing unit when the central processing unit executes a program stored in the storage device. The web server 3 includes a web application 7 as one of such processing units.

  The dynamic clipping unit 2 is a processing unit that performs clipping processing according to the present invention. The dynamic clipping unit 2 can be provided in either the client terminal 1 or the web server 3. Alternatively, an arbitrary device (not shown) provided on the communication path between the web browser 4 and the web application 7 may be provided, for example, a proxy server. The dynamic clipping unit 2 includes a clipping setting unit 5, an application screen structure analyzing unit 6, a screen request receiving unit 8, a screen clipping unit 9, and clipping definition information 10.

  The web browser 4 performs processing for displaying screen information received from the outside as a web page and allowing the user to browse. A general web browser transmits a screen information acquisition request directly to the web application of the web server, and receives the screen information as a response from the web application. However, the web browser 4 in the present embodiment transmits a screen information acquisition request to the screen request receiving unit 8 of the dynamic clipping unit 2 and receives the screen information as a response from the screen request receiving unit 8.

  In addition, the web browser 4 transmits a clipping setting request regarding the web application 7 to the clipping setting unit 5. The clipping setting request is a screen unnecessary for the user among a plurality of screens constituting the web application 7, and a component (text, image, and link information to other screens associated with these) included in a specific screen. Etc.) is a message that includes information specifying an element that is unnecessary for the user and requests that the screen and the element be clipped, that is, a process not to be displayed to the user.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of an interface for allowing the user to input a clipping setting request. The user can specify a screen or an element unnecessary for the user by using the clipping setting screen 51 displayed on the web browser 4, and can transmit it to the clipping setting unit 5. For example, by inputting a URL for specifying a screen in the “screen URL” input field, the screen can be designated as unnecessary. In addition to the input of the screen URL, by inputting information (XPATH) for specifying the element included in the screen in the “screen item (XPATH)” input field, the element can be designated as unnecessary. The information input here is transmitted to the clipping setting unit 5 when the “OK” button is pressed.

  When receiving the clipping setting request from the web browser 4, the clipping setting unit 5 transfers the request to the application screen structure analysis unit 6.

  When receiving the clipping setting request from the clipping setting unit 5, the application screen structure analyzing unit 6 first analyzes the link reference relationship among a plurality of screens constituting the web application 7. The link reference relationship refers to the fact that a link is set from an element of a certain screen to another screen. The analysis of the link reference relationship can be easily realized by using various known link analysis methods. For example, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 reads the source code of each of a plurality of screens constituting the web application 7, and if links to other screens are described, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 sequentially records the links. Reference relationship analysis can be performed.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of a link reference relationship between a plurality of screens constituting the web application 7 which is found as a result of the analysis by the application screen structure analysis unit 6. In this example, a link to the screen 1 is set in the character string (element) “link 1” on the top screen, and a link to the screen 2 is set in the “forward” button (element). A link to the screen 3 is set in the character string “link 2” of the screen 1, a link to the screen 4 is set in the character string “link 3”, and a character string “link 4” is set. In this case, a link to the screen 5 is set. A link to the screen 5 is set in the “forward” button on the screen 2. In the character string “link 7” on the screen 3, a link to the screen 6 is set. In the character string “link 5” on the screen 4, a link to the screen 7 is set. A link to the screen 7 is set in the character string “link 6” on the screen 5, and a link to the screen 8 is set in the “forward” button.

  Subsequently, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 performs screens and elements to be further clipped in addition to the screens and elements designated by the user, based on the screens and elements designated as unnecessary by the user included in the clipping setting request, that is, Identify screens and elements that do not need to be displayed to the user. The specific identification procedure is as follows. First, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 searches for a screen in which a link is set only from screens and elements designated as unnecessary by the user based on the link reference relationship of a plurality of screens constituting the web application 7. The screen discovered by this search is added as a clipping target. That is, it is determined as an unnecessary screen. Further, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 recursively executes the same search based on the screen found by the search. That is, a screen on which a link is set only from that screen is further searched, and if a corresponding screen is found, a screen on which a link is set only from the found screen is further searched. All screens discovered in this way are added to the clipping target. Next, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 applies to a screen that is a clipping target among screens that are not a clipping target, that is, a screen that is designated as unnecessary by the user and all screens that are found by the search. Search for the element with the link. Elements found by this search are added to the clipping target. That is, it is determined as an unnecessary element. Finally, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 records the screens and elements that have been clipped by the above processing as clipping definition information 10. Clipping definition information 10 is stored in a storage means (not shown).

  The above-described processing of the application screen structure analysis unit 6 will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. First, it is assumed that the user designates the character string “link 2” on the screen 1 and the screen 5 as unnecessary in the clipping setting request. The application screen structure analysis unit 6 is a screen in which a link is set from the character string “link 2” of the screen 1 and the screen 5, and the link is set only from these screens and elements. Explore. This corresponds to screen 3 and screen 8. As for the screen 7, a link is set from the screen 5, but since a link from another screen, that is, the screen 4, is also set, it is not included in the search result here. The application screen structure analysis unit 6 adds the screen 3 and the screen 8 to the clipping target. Subsequently, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 searches for a screen on which a link is set only from the screen 3 and the screen 8. This corresponds to the screen 6. Further, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 searches for a screen on which a link is set only from the screen 6. Since there is no corresponding screen, the recursive search of the screen is stopped here. The screens and elements to be clipped by the processing so far are the character string “link 2”, screen 5, screen 3, screen 8, and screen 6 on screen 1.

  Next, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 selects a screen that is a clipping target from among the components that are not the clipping target, that is, the top screen, the screen 1, the screen 2, the screen 4, and the screen 7. That is, the elements for which links to the screen 5, the screen 3, the screen 8, and the screen 6 are set are searched. This corresponds to the “forward” button on the screen 2 in which a link to the screen 5 is set. The application screen structure analysis unit 6 adds the “forward” button on the screen 2 to the clipping target.

  Finally, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 performs the “advance” of the character string “link 2”, the screen 5, the screen 3, the screen 8, the screen 6, and the screen 2, which are the clipping targets in the processing so far. The button is recorded as clipping definition information 10.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the clipping definition information 10. The clipping definition information 10 can be stored in a storage means (not shown) as such a table. The clipping definition information 10 includes one or more records indicating screens or elements to be clipped. Each record includes information for specifying a clipping target screen (for example, screen name and URL) and information for specifying an element in the screen (for example, XPATH). When the entire screen is a clipping target, it is sufficient that the record has information for specifying the screen, and information for specifying the element is not necessary. In this example, only the records relating to the screen 1 and the screen 5 are screens and elements that the user explicitly designates as clipping targets. Other records indicate screens added by the application screen structure analysis unit 6. It is preferable that the clipping definition information 10 is configured to be held for each user by associating with the user identification information or the like.

  The screen request receiving unit 8 receives the screen information acquisition request transmitted by the web browser 4 and transfers it to the web application 7. When the web application 7 receives the request from the screen request accepting unit 8, the web application 7 transmits screen information corresponding to the request to the screen clipping processing unit 9. The screen request receiving unit 8 transmits the screen information received from the screen clipping processing unit 9 to the web browser 4.

  When the screen clipping processing unit 9 receives the screen information as a response from the web application 7, the screen clipping processing unit 9 refers to the clipping definition information 10, and the screen, specifically, the screen name, URL, and the like exist in the clipping definition information 10. In other words, it is determined whether the entire screen or the element is designated as a clipping target. When the screen or element is not designated as a clipping target, the screen clipping processing unit 9 transfers the screen information received from the web application 7 to the screen request receiving unit 8 as it is. On the other hand, when the entire screen is designated as a clipping target, the screen clipping processing unit 9 generates screen information including an error message (for example, “404 Not Found”) indicating that the screen is not found, and generates a screen request. It transmits to the reception unit 8. On the other hand, when an element included in the screen is specified as a clipping target, the screen clipping processing unit 9 uses the element specified by the clipping definition information 10 (for example, XPATH or the like) from the screen information received from the web application 7. The element that can be specified by (1) is deleted, and the processed screen information is transmitted to the screen request receiving unit 8.

  The web application 7 is an application that changes a plurality of screens (web pages) to realize predetermined processing. When receiving the request from the screen request receiving unit 8, the web application 7 in the present embodiment generates screen information for displaying the screen corresponding to the request on the web browser 4, and the screen clipping processing unit 9 Send back.

  Subsequently, the operation of the clipping system 100 will be described in time series using the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 to 6.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing for designating a screen and an element to be clipped.

  Step A1: The web browser 4 on the client terminal 1 transmits a clipping setting request regarding the web application 7 to the clipping setting unit 5 on the dynamic clipping unit 2. The clipping setting request includes information specifying a screen or an element unnecessary for the user, in other words, a screen or an element to be clipped among a plurality of screens constituting the web application 7.

  Step A2: Upon receiving the clipping setting request from the web browser 4, the clipping setting unit 5 transfers it to the application screen structure analysis unit 6. The clipping setting unit 5 does not transfer the clipping setting request received from the web browser 4 as it is, and sends a message in an arbitrary format including information that can identify the screen or element to be clipped to the application screen structure analysis unit. 6 may be transmitted.

  Step A3: When the application screen structure analysis unit 6 receives a clipping setting request or the like from the clipping setting unit 5, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 analyzes a link reference relationship among a plurality of screens constituting the web application 7.

  Step A4: The application screen structure analysis unit 6 extracts a screen or element designated as a clipping target by the user from the message received in Step A3, that is, a clipping setting request or the like.

  The application screen structure analysis unit 6 executes the following processing (steps A5 to A8) for all screens or elements designated as clipping targets by the user. In addition, if there is a screen newly added as a clipping target by the application screen structure analysis unit 6 in the process of the following (Steps A5 to A8), the following processing (Steps A5 to A8) is also performed on the screen. To do.

  Step A5: The application screen structure analysis unit 6 determines whether the object designated as the clipping target is the entire screen or an element in the screen. If it is the entire screen, the process proceeds to step A6. On the other hand, if it is an element in the screen, the process proceeds to step A9.

  Step A6: When the clipping target is the entire screen, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 records the screen designated as the clipping target in the clipping definition information 10.

  Step A7: The application screen structure analysis unit 6 determines that if an element to which a link that refers to a screen designated as a clipping target is set exists in a screen that is not a clipping target, the element is defined as clipping definition information. Record in 10.

  Step A8: The application screen structure analysis unit 6 determines that the screen referenced as the link destination only from the screen designated as the clipping target exists as the clipping target information when the screen is not the clipping target. Record.

  Step A9: When the clipping target is an element in the screen, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 records the element specified as the clipping target in the clipping definition information 10.

  Step A10: When the screen that is referred to as the link destination only from the element designated as the clipping target exists as a screen that is not the clipping target, the application screen structure analysis unit 6 uses the screen as the clipping definition information 10 Record.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a process of clipping the screen information of the web application 7 based on the clipping definition information 10.

  Step B1: The web browser 4 on the client terminal 1 transmits a screen information acquisition request for a screen having the web application 7 to the screen request receiving unit 8 of the dynamic clipping unit 2.

  Step B2: Upon receiving a screen information acquisition request from the web browser 4, the screen request receiving unit 8 transfers the request to the web application 7. The screen request receiving unit 8 does not transfer the request received from the web browser 4 as it is, but transmits a message in an arbitrary format including information that can identify the screen to be acquired to the web application 7. Also good.

  Step B3: When the web application 7 receives the request or the like from the screen request accepting unit 8, the web application 7 generates screen information for causing the web browser 4 to display a screen corresponding to the request or the like. Send.

  Step B4: The screen clipping processing unit 9 receives screen information from the web application 7. Here, the screen clipping processing unit 9 refers to the clipping definition information 10.

  Step B5: The screen clipping processing unit 9 determines whether or not the screen related to the received screen information or the element of the screen is recorded in the clipping definition information 10 as a clipping target. If it is a clipping target, the process proceeds to step B6. On the other hand, if it is not a clipping target, the process proceeds to step B9.

  Step B6: The screen clipping processing unit 9 determines whether the clipping target is the entire screen or an element in the screen. If it is the entire screen, the process proceeds to step B7. On the other hand, if it is an element in the screen, the process proceeds to step B8.

  Step B7: When the clipping target is the entire screen, the screen is a screen that should not be displayed to the user, so the screen clipping processing unit 9 includes a screen including an error message indicating that the screen to be displayed cannot be found. Information is generated and transmitted to the screen request receiving unit 8.

  Step B8: When the clipping target is an element in the screen, the screen clipping processing unit 9 transmits screen information obtained by deleting the element from the screen information received from the web application 7 to the screen request receiving unit 8.

  Step B9: The screen clipping processing unit 9 transmits the screen information received from the web application 7 to the screen request receiving unit 8 as it is.

  Step B10: The screen request receiving unit 8 transmits the screen information received from the screen clipping processing unit 9 in steps B7 to B9 to the web browser 4.

  In this embodiment, when the dynamic clipping unit 2 accepts designation of unnecessary screens and elements by the user, it analyzes link reference relationships of a plurality of screens constituting the web application 7, and based on the analysis result. Based on the above designation by the user, screens that are further unnecessary are determined autonomously, and other elements that refer to these unnecessary screens and elements are autonomously deleted. Thereby, the user can ensure the consistency between a plurality of screens only by performing a minimum setting operation of designating an arbitrary clipping target. For example, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of mistakes such as forgetting to delete links to unnecessary screens and mistakes to delete links to necessary screens, which were conventionally caused by manually correcting the consistency between screens. It is possible.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the clipping setting request is transmitted from the web browser 4, but this is not necessarily the case, and is input to the clipping setting unit 5 via any other input means. May be.

  In the above-described embodiment, the clipping setting unit 5, the application screen structure analysis unit 6, the screen request reception unit 8, the screen clipping unit 9, and the clipping definition information 10 that constitute the dynamic clipping unit 2 are all the same. The example provided in the device, for example, the client terminal 1, the web server 3, or the proxy server has been described. However, these components of the dynamic clipping unit 2 may be distributed in a plurality of arbitrary devices. For example, some components such as the clipping setting unit 5 are provided in the client terminal 1, and some components such as the application screen structure analysis unit 6 are provided in the web server 3 and are connected to be communicable with each other. Also good. The clipping definition information 10 may be stored in a recording medium that can be attached to and detached from the client terminal 1, the web server 3, or a proxy server.
