Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it simple to switch without log on/off operation, in the case that, in a server based computing (SBC) system, a user switches from a client device being connected with a server device, to a different client device.SOLUTION: Communication means among client devices transmits switching notice (including terminal information) in response to user operation or the like directly from a switching destination client device (B) 20b to a switching source client device (A) 20a. The switching notice is transferred to a server device 10 by the switching source 20a. At this time, the switching source 20a re-sizes screen data G during display depending on the terminal information of the switching destination 20b and transmits it to the switching destination 20b to make it display the data. On the other hand, when the server device 10 receives the switching notice from the switching destination 20b transferred by the switching source 20a, it stores an operation state of an application at that time, and switches connection from the switching source 20a to the switching destination 20b. Then, the stored operation state of the application is restored, and the switching destination 20b is able to continuously perform work before the switching.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing client processing by the client device (B: switching destination) 20b of the SBC system.

  When the user performs a login operation on the client device (A) 20a used outside, authentication data including terminal information such as the user ID of the client device (A) 20a, the performance of the CPU 21, and the display screen size is sent to the server device 10. It is transmitted (step A1 (Yes) → A2).

  When the server device 10 receives the authentication data transmitted from the client device (A) 20a (step S1 (Yes) → S2), a login authentication process is executed to establish a connection (step S3). The terminal information of the connected client device (A) 20a is set in the RAM 14 (step S4).

  The operation of the application program at the end of the previous connection (logoff) stored in the application operation state memory 14b in the RAM 14 in association with the terminal information of the client device (A) 20a set in the RAM 14 The state is restored (step S5).

  Here, when an input operation by the user is performed in the client device (A) 20a (step A3 (Yes)), the input operation data (input event signal) is transmitted to the server device 10 (step A4). .

  When the server apparatus 10 receives the input operation data (input event signal) transmitted from the client apparatus (A) 20a (step S6), an application program corresponding to the input operation (input event) is executed ( In step S7), client display screen data G matching the terminal information (display screen size, etc.) set in the RAM 14 is generated and rendered in the client frame buffer RAM 14a. It is transmitted to the input source client device (A) 20a (step S8).

  When the event input source client device (A) 20a receives the screen data G generated and transmitted by the server device 10 (step A5), the screen data G is drawn and displayed in the frame buffer RAM 25. It is displayed on the device 26 (step A6).

  Thereby, in the client device (A) 20a, the screen data G generated according to the application program executed in the server device 10 is received and displayed on the display device 26 according to the input operation of the user (step A3). -A6 (S6-S8)).

  In this way, the user connects the mobile terminal type client device (A) 20a to the server device 10 at a place where he / she is away and returns to the office while performing a desired work, and the desktop type client device (B: switching destination) ) In 20b, the user performs an operation for instructing connection / switching, or the mobile terminal type client device is connected to the cradle connected to the communication I / F 29b of the desktop type client device (B: switching destination) 20b. (A: connected) 20a is attached, or connection between the portable terminal type client device (A: connected) 20a and the desktop type client device (B: switching destination) 20b is established by short-range wireless communication Then, from the desktop type client device (B: switching destination) 20b, the user ID, the performance of the CPU 21, the display screen Switching notification signal including the terminal information of the size or the like, the mobile terminal type client device: sent to (A connecting) 20a (step B1 (Yes) → B2).

  When the connected client device (A) 20a receives the switching notification signal transmitted from the switching destination client device (B) 20b (step A7 (Yes)), the process proceeds to the screen resizing process in FIG. (Step AR).

  In this screen resizing process, when a switching notification signal including the terminal information of the switching destination client device (B) 20b is received (step R1), the received switching notification signal (including the client device (B) 20b) is included. The terminal information is transferred to the server device 10 (step R2).

  Then, the switching destination client device (B) 20b that has received the screen data G stored in the frame buffer RAM 25 of the switching source client device (A) 20a and currently displayed on the display device 26 together with the switching notification signal. Are resized (enlarged / reduced) in accordance with the terminal information (display screen size) (step R3). Then, the resized screen data G ′ is transmitted to the switching destination client device (B) 20b (step R4).

  When the switching destination client device (B) 20b receives the screen data G 'resized and transmitted from the switching source client device (A) 20a (step B3), the received screen data G' Are drawn and stored in the frame buffer RAM 25 and displayed on the display device 26 (step B4).

  In this case, as indicated by the arrow x in FIGS. 2A and 2B, for example, screen data having a certain width from the upper part to the lower part of the screen data G displayed on the switching source client apparatus (A) 20a. Are sequentially resized and transferred to the switching destination client device (B) 20b, and each time the switching source screen data G is sequentially deleted, the switching destination screen data G 'is displayed.

  For this reason, in the switching destination client device (B) 20b, the initial screen (G ′) can be displayed in a quick and natural switching image without waiting for the completion of connection with the server device 10. Further, in the switching source client device (A) 20a, the screen data G is completely erased as the connection is switched, so that the security as the SBC system can be reliably maintained.

  The resize processing of the screen data G of the switching source and the transmission processing of the resized screen data G ′ to the switching destination are performed for each screen data of a certain width from the top to the bottom of the screen data G as described above. The screen data G may be resized and transmitted sequentially, or the screen data G that is the switching source may be resized and transmitted collectively, and the screen data G may be erased collectively.

  On the other hand, when the server apparatus 10 receives the switching notification signal (including terminal information) from the client apparatus (B: switching destination) 20b transferred by the currently connected client apparatus (A: switching source) 20a (steps) S9 (Yes)), the process proceeds to the client switching process in FIG. 7 (step SC).

  In this client switching process, the operating state of the application program being executed in response to an input operation (input event) from the currently connected client device (A: switching source) 20 a is stored in the application operating state memory 14 b in the RAM 14. Stored and saved (step C1).

  Then, the connection with the connected client device (A: switching source) 20a is disconnected (logged off) (step C2), and is received at step S9 via the client device (A: switching source) 20a. Based on the terminal information included in the switching notification signal from the client device (B: switching destination) 20b, the connection notification signal is transmitted to the client device (B: switching destination) 20b (step C3).

  When the switching destination client device (B) 20b receives the connection notification signal transmitted from the server device 10 (step B5 (Yes)), the user ID of the client device (B) 20b, the performance of the CPU 21 Then, authentication data including terminal information such as a display screen size is transmitted to the server device 10 (step B6).

  When the server device 10 receives the authentication data transmitted from the switching destination client device (B) 20b, the login authentication processing is similar to the initial login authentication processing for the switching source client device (A) 20a. Is established (step S3), and the terminal information of the connected client device (B) 20b is set in the RAM 14 (step S4).

  Then, the operation state of the application program at the time when the connection with the switching source client device (A) 20a stored in the application operation state memory 14b in the RAM 14 is completed (logoff) is restored (step S5).

  Here, when an input operation is performed by the user (step B7 (Yes)) in the switching destination client device (B) 20b, the input operation data (input event signal) is transmitted to the server device 10 (step S7). B8).

  When the server apparatus 10 receives the input operation data (input event signal) transmitted from the client apparatus (B) 20b (step S6), an application program corresponding to the input operation (input event) is executed ( In step S7), client display screen data G matching the terminal information (display screen size, etc.) set in the RAM 14 is generated and rendered in the client frame buffer RAM 14a. It is transmitted to the switching destination client device (B) 20b that is the input source (step S8).

  When the screen data G generated and transmitted by the server device 10 is received in the switching destination client device (B) 20b (step B9), the screen data G is drawn in the frame buffer RAM 25 and displayed on the display device. 26 (step B10).

  As a result, the in-house client device (B) 20b switched from the switching source client device (A) 20a follows the application program continuously executed by the server device 10 in response to an input operation by the same user. The generated screen data G is received and displayed on the display device 26 (steps B7 to B10 (S6 to S8)).

  Therefore, according to the SBC system having the above-described configuration, for example, a client device (A: switching source) 20a that has been used by connecting to the server device 10 when going out is used as an in-house client device (B: switching destination) 20b. When it is desired to continuously use the connection by switching the connection, the communication means (29b) between the client apparatuses directly responds to the switching source client apparatus (A) 20a from the switching destination client apparatus (B) 20b according to a user operation or the like. Switch notification signal (including terminal information) is transmitted. Then, the switching notification signal is transferred by the switching source client device (A) 20 a and transmitted to the server device 10. At this time, the switching source client device (A) 20a resizes the screen data G currently being displayed according to the terminal information of the switching destination client device (B) 20b, and the switching destination client device (B) ) Send to 20b and display. On the other hand, in the server device 10, when the switching notification signal from the switching destination client device (B) 20b transferred by the switching source client device (A) 20a is received, the operation state of the application at that time is changed. After being saved, the connection is switched from the switching source client device (A) 20a to the switching destination client device (B) 20b. Then, the operation state of the application saved before the switching of the switching source client device (A) 20a is restored, and the switching destination client device (B) 20b can continuously execute the work from before the switching. .

  For this reason, when the same user switches the client device (A) 20a connected to the server device 20 to another client device (B) 20b and uses it, the user performs a switching operation by a logoff operation and a logon operation each time. There is no need to do so, and the connection can be switched very easily and the work from before the switching can be continuously executed.

  In the embodiment, the screen data G displayed on the switching source client device (A) 20a is resized according to the terminal information (display screen size etc.) of the switching destination client device (B) 20b. The enlargement / reduction processing is executed in the switching source client device (A) 20a.

  In contrast, when a switching notification signal including the terminal information is received from the switching destination client device (B) 20b by the switching source client device (A) 20a, the switching source client device (A) 20a. The CPU performance of the switching destination client device (B) 20b is compared. If the switching source client device (A) 20a has higher performance, the screen data G ′ resized in the switching source client device (A) 20a is transferred to the switching destination client device (B) 20b. Send to and display. On the contrary, when the switching destination client device (A) 20a has higher performance, the screen data G displayed on the switching source client device (A) 20a is converted to the switching destination client device (B). After transmission to 20b, the screen data G ′ that has been resized in the switching destination client device (B) 20b may be displayed.

  Further, the resizing process of the screen data G in the above embodiment is configured to be executed by software processing, but may be configured to be executed at high speed by hardware.
