  When the newly created second toolbar B2 is exported, the control unit 101A generates management data AD1 including an identifier for identifying the second toolbar B2 and the date and time of export, as shown in FIG. (Step S2). The management data AD1 is an example of history information related to the second toolbar B2.

  When the user A performs an operation of transmitting the output toolbar data to the terminal device 10B, the control unit 101A controls the communication unit 105A to transmit the toolbar data to the terminal device 10B (step S3).

  The communication unit 105B of the terminal device 10B receives the transmitted toolbar data. When the user B performs an operation of importing toolbar data on the operation unit 104B in the terminal device 10B that is executing the document management application, the control unit 101B executes a process of importing the toolbar data (step S4). When the control unit 101B executes a process of importing toolbar data, a window having the second toolbar B2 in FIG. 3 is displayed on the display unit 103B.

  When the toolbar data is imported, the control unit 101B generates first data including the date and time of the import and second data including information relating to the imported second toolbar B2 (step S5). The first data and the second data are an example of history information related to the second toolbar B2. The first data BD1 and the second data BD21 illustrated in FIG. 8 are examples of the first data BD1 and the second data BD21 that are generated when the control unit 101B imports the toolbar data.

  The first data BD1 includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added to the imported toolbar data, the IP address of the imported terminal device 10B, and the date and time when the toolbar data was imported into the terminal device 10B.

  The second data BD21 includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added to the imported toolbar data, the edited contents of the second toolbar B2, the transmission destination of the edited toolbar data of the second toolbar B2, the edited first data 2 The date and time of import at the transmission destination of the toolbar data of the toolbar B2 are included. Since the second toolbar B2 is not edited in the terminal device 10B when the toolbar data is imported into the terminal device 10B, the item of editing content is “N / A” in the second data BD21. Since the second toolbar B2 is not transmitted from the terminal device 10B to the other terminal device 10 when the toolbar data is imported to the terminal device 10B, the transmission destination is “N / A” in the second data BD21. It has become. Further, since the toolbar data is not transmitted from the terminal device 10B to the other terminal device 10 when the toolbar data is imported to the terminal device 10B, the import date and time at the transmission destination is “N / A” in the second data BD21. "

  The control unit 101B controls the communication unit 105B to transmit the generated set of the first data BD1 and the second data BD21 to the terminal device 10A that is the transmission source of the imported toolbar data (step S6). The communication unit 105A receives the set of the transmitted first data BD1 and second data BD21. The control unit 101A stores the received set of the first data BD1 and the second data BD21 in the storage unit 102A (step S7).

  The control unit 101A that has acquired the first data BD1 and the second data BD21 associates history information related to the second toolbar B2 (step S8). Here, the control unit 101A displays the management data AD1 having the same identifier as the toolbar identifier included in the received first data BD1 as shown in FIG. 9 for the combination of the received first data BD1 and second data BD21. Tie to.

  The first data BD1 includes the date and time when the toolbar data transmitted from the terminal device 10A was imported by the terminal device 10B. When the user A performs an operation for displaying the associated data on the operation unit 104A, the user A can know the date and time when the toolbar data was imported in the terminal device 10B by the displayed data.

  Next, for example, when the user B performs an operation on the operation unit 104B to delete the “page rearrangement” button of the second toolbar B2 displayed by the import, the control unit 101B causes the “page reordering” to be performed from the second toolbar B2. The “reorder” button is deleted (step S9). When the user B performs an operation for exporting the edited second toolbar B2 on the operation unit 104B, the control unit 101B outputs the edited toolbar data of the second toolbar B2 (step S10).

  The toolbar data imported to the terminal device 10B is added with the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added by the terminal device 10A and the identifier of the terminal device 10A, but the control unit 101B edits and outputs them. The identifier (for example, IP address) of the terminal device 10B that output the toolbar data is further added to the toolbar data.

  When the user B performs an operation of transmitting the output toolbar data to the terminal device 10C, the control unit 101B controls the communication unit 105B to transmit the toolbar data to the terminal device 10C (step S11).

  When transmitting the output toolbar data, the control unit 101B generates the second data BD22 including information related to the second toolbar B2 (step S12). At this point in time, since the button has been deleted since the toolbar data was imported, the edit content item in the second data BD22 is “delete page rearrangement button”. Further, since the toolbar data is transmitted to the terminal device 10C, in the second data BD22, the transmission destination is the IP address of the terminal device 10C. The control unit 101B associates the generated second data BD22 with the first data BD1.

  The communication unit 105C of the terminal device 10C receives the transmitted toolbar data. In the terminal device 10C that is executing the document management application, when the user C performs an operation of importing toolbar data on the operation unit 104C, the control unit 101C executes a process of importing toolbar data (step S13). When the control unit 101C executes the process of importing the toolbar data, a window having the second toolbar B2 from which the “page rearrangement” button is deleted is displayed on the display unit 103C.

  When the toolbar data is imported, the control unit 101C generates first data and second data (step S14). The first data CD1 and the second data CD21 shown in FIG. 8 are examples of the first data CD1 and the second data CD21 generated when the control unit 101C imports the toolbar data.

  The first data CD1 includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added to the imported toolbar data, the IP address of the terminal device 10C, and the date and time when the toolbar data was imported to the terminal device 10C.

  The second data CD21 includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added to the imported toolbar data, the edited content of the second toolbar B2, the transmission destination of the edited toolbar data of the second toolbar, the edited second data Includes the date and time of import at the toolbar data destination of the toolbar. Since the second toolbar B2 is not edited in the terminal device 10C when the toolbar data is imported to the terminal device 10C, the item of editing content in the second data CD21 is “N / A”. Since the second toolbar B2 is not transmitted to the other terminal device 10 in the terminal device 10C when the toolbar data is imported to the terminal device 10C, the transmission destination is “N / A” in the second data CD21. It has become. Further, since the toolbar data is not transmitted from the terminal device 10C to the other terminal device 10 when the toolbar data is imported to the terminal device 10C, the import date and time at the transmission destination is “N / A” in the second data CD21. "

  The control unit 101C controls the communication unit 105C to transmit the generated set of the first data CD1 and the second data CD21 to the terminal device 10B that is the transmission source of the imported toolbar data (step S15). The communication unit 105B receives the transmitted set of the first data CD1 and the second data CD21. The control unit 101B causes the storage unit 102B to store the received set of the first data CD1 and the second data CD21 (step S16).

  When the control unit 101B obtains a set of the first data CD1 and the second data CD21 from the terminal device 10C that is the toolbar data transmission destination, the date and time included in the first data CD1 is used as the import date and time at the transmission destination. The second data BD22 including the IP address of the terminal device 10C is included as shown in FIG.

  Next, the control unit 101B associates data related to the second toolbar B2 (step S17). The control unit 101B searches for second data including the same IP address as the IP address of the terminal device 10C included in the acquired first data CD1. Here, since the second data BD22 includes the same IP address as the IP address of the terminal device 10C included in the first data CD1, a set of the first data CD1 and the second data CD21 is associated with the second data BD22. Here, each piece of data is linked as shown in FIG.

  When the association is completed, the control unit 101B controls the communication unit 105B to transmit the associated data to the terminal device 10A that is the transmission source of the imported toolbar data (step S18). The communication unit 105A receives the associated data. The control unit 101A specifies the first data BD1 at the highest level in the received linked data, and receives the management data AD1 having the same identifier as the toolbar identifier included in the first data BD1. The associated data is linked as shown in FIG. 11 (step S19).

  When the user A performs an operation of displaying the linked data, each linked data in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display unit 103A. Here, since the first data CD1 is associated with the second data BD22, the user A knows that the second toolbar B2 edited by the terminal device 10B has been imported by the terminal device 10C.

  Next, when the user B performs an operation of transmitting the toolbar data output in step S10 to the terminal device 10D, the control unit 101B controls the communication unit 105B to transmit the toolbar data to the terminal device 10D (step S20). ).

  When the toolbar data output in step S10 is transmitted, the control unit 101B edits the second data BD22 (step S21). Here, since the toolbar data is transmitted to the terminal device 10D, the IP address of the terminal device 10D is added to the second data BD22 as a transmission destination.

  The communication unit 105D of the terminal device 10D receives the transmitted toolbar data. In the terminal device 10D executing the document management application, when the user of the terminal device 10D (hereinafter referred to as user D) performs an operation of importing the toolbar data on the operation unit 104D, the control unit 101D imports the toolbar data. Processing is executed (step S22). When the control unit 101D executes the process of importing the toolbar data, a window having the second toolbar B2 from which the “page rearrangement” button is deleted is displayed on the display unit 103D.

  When the toolbar data is imported, the control unit 101D generates first data and second data (step S23). The first data DD1 and the second data DD21 illustrated in FIG. 8 are examples of the first data DD1 and the second data DD21 that are generated when the control unit 101D imports the toolbar data.

  The first data DD1 includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added to the imported toolbar data, the IP address of the terminal device 10D, and the date and time when the toolbar data was imported to the terminal device 10D.

  The second data DD21 includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added to the imported toolbar data, the edited content of the second toolbar B2, the transmission destination of the edited toolbar data of the second toolbar, the edited second data Includes the date and time of import at the toolbar data destination of the toolbar.

  The control unit 101D controls the communication unit 105D to transmit the set of the generated first data DD1 and second data DD21 to the terminal device 10B that is the transmission source of the imported toolbar data (step S24). The communication unit 105B receives the set of the transmitted first data DD1 and second data DD21. The control unit 101B causes the storage unit 102B to store the received set of the first data DD1 and the second data DD21 (step S25).

  When the control unit 101B receives the set of the first data DD1 and the second data DD21 from the terminal device 10D that is the transmission destination of the toolbar data, the control unit 101B uses the date and time included in the first data DD1 as the import date and time at the transmission destination. The second data BD22 including the IP address of the terminal device 10D is included as shown in FIG.

  Next, the control unit 101B associates data related to the second toolbar B2 (step S26). The control unit 101B searches for second data having the same IP address as the IP address of the terminal device 10D included in the acquired first data DD1. Here, since the second data BD22 includes the same IP address as the IP address of the terminal device 10D included in the first data DD1, a set of the first data DD1 and the second data DD21 is associated with the second data BD22. Here, each piece of data is linked as shown in FIG.

  When the association is completed, the control unit 101B controls the communication unit 105B to transmit the associated data to the terminal device 10A that is the transmission source of the imported toolbar data (step S27). The communication unit 105A receives the associated data. The control unit 101A specifies the first data BD1 at the highest level in the received linked data, and receives the management data AD1 having the same identifier as the toolbar identifier included in the first data BD1. The associated data is linked as shown in FIG. 13 (step S28).

  When the user A performs an operation of displaying the linked data, each linked data in FIG. 13 is displayed on the display unit 103A. Here, since the first data DD1 is associated with the second data BD22, the user A knows that the second toolbar B2 edited by the terminal device 10B is also imported to the terminal device 10D.

  Next, when the user D performs an operation on the operation unit 104D to delete the “edit” button of the second toolbar B2 displayed by the import, the control unit 101D selects the “edit” button from the second toolbar B2. Delete (step S29). When the user D performs an operation for exporting the edited second toolbar B2 on the operation unit 104D, the control unit 101D outputs the edited toolbar data of the second toolbar B2 (step S30).

  The toolbar data imported to the terminal device 10D includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added by the terminal device 10A, the identifier of the terminal device 10A, and the identifier of the terminal device 10B. An identifier (for example, IP address) of the terminal device 10D that has output the toolbar data is further added to the output toolbar data.

  When the user D performs an operation of transmitting the output toolbar data to the terminal device 10E, the control unit 101D controls the communication unit 105D and transmits the toolbar data to the terminal device 10E (step S31).

  When transmitting the output toolbar data, the control unit 101D generates second data DD22 including information related to the second toolbar B2 (step S32). At this point, since the button has been deleted since the toolbar data was imported, the item of edit content in the second data DD22 is “delete edit button”. Further, since the toolbar data is transmitted to the terminal device 10E, in the second data DD22, the transmission destination is the IP address of the terminal device 10E. The control unit 101D associates the generated second data DD22 with the first data DD1.

  The communication unit 105E of the terminal device 10E receives the transmitted toolbar data. In the terminal device 10E that is executing the document management application, when the user of the terminal device 10E (hereinafter referred to as user E) performs an operation of importing toolbar data on the operation unit 104E, the control unit 101E imports the toolbar data. Processing is executed (step S33). When the control unit 101E executes the process of importing the toolbar data, a window having the second toolbar B2 from which the “page rearrangement” button and the “edit” button are deleted is displayed on the display unit 103E.

  When the toolbar data is imported, the control unit 101E generates first data and second data (step S34). The first data ED1 and the second data ED21 illustrated in FIG. 8 are examples of the first data ED1 and the second data ED21 that are generated when the control unit 101E imports the toolbar data.

  The first data ED1 includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added to the imported toolbar data, the IP address of the terminal device 10E, and the date and time when the toolbar data was imported to the terminal device 10E.

  The second data ED21 includes the identifier of the second toolbar B2 added to the imported toolbar data, the edited content of the second toolbar B2, the transmission destination of the edited toolbar data of the second toolbar B2, and the edited second toolbar data. 2 Includes the date and time of import at the toolbar data transmission destination. Since the second toolbar B2 has not been edited in the terminal device 10E when it is imported to the terminal device 10E, the item of editing content is “N / A” in the second data ED21. Since the second toolbar B2 is not transmitted to the other terminal device 10 in the terminal device 10E when it is imported to the terminal device 10E, the transmission destination is “N / A” in the second data ED21. . In addition, since the toolbar data is not transmitted from the terminal device 10E to the other terminal device 10 at the time of import, the import date and time at the transmission destination is “N / A” in the second data ED21.

  The control unit 101E controls the communication unit 105E to transmit the generated set of the first data ED1 and the second data ED21 to the terminal device 10D that is the transmission source of the imported toolbar data (step S35). The communication unit 105D receives the transmitted set of the first data ED1 and the second data ED21. The control unit 101D stores the received set of the first data ED1 and the second data ED21 in the storage unit 102D (step S36).

  When the control unit 101D acquires the set of the first data ED1 and the second data ED21 from the terminal device 10E that is the transmission destination of the toolbar data, the control unit 101D uses the date and time included in the first data ED1 as the import date and time at the transmission destination. The second data DD22 including the IP address of the terminal device 10E is included as shown in FIG.

  Next, the control unit 101D associates data related to the second toolbar B2 (step S37). The control unit 101D searches for second data including the same IP address as the IP address of the terminal device 10E included in the acquired first data ED1. Here, since the second data DD22 includes the same IP address as the IP address of the terminal device 10E included in the first data ED1, a set of the first data ED1 and the second data ED21 is associated with the second data DD22. Here, each data is linked as shown in FIG.

  When the association is completed, the control unit 101D controls the communication unit 105D to transmit the associated data to the terminal device 10B that is the transmission source of the imported toolbar data (step S38). The communication unit 105B receives the associated data. The control unit 101B stores the acquired data in the storage unit 102B (step S39).

  Next, the control unit 101B associates data related to the second toolbar B2 (step S40). The control unit 101B specifies the first data DD1 at the highest level in the received linked data, and specifies the second data including the same IP address as the IP address of the terminal device 10D included in the first data DD1. . Here, since the second data BD22 includes the same IP address as the IP address of the terminal device 10D included in the first data DD1, the control unit 101B links the received linked data to the second data BD22. . Here, in the terminal device 10B, each data is linked as shown in FIG.

  When the association is completed, the control unit 101B controls the communication unit 105B to transmit the associated data to the terminal device 10A that is the transmission source of the imported toolbar data (step S41). The communication unit 105A receives the associated data. The control unit 101A specifies the first data BD1 at the highest level in the received linked data, and receives the management data AD1 having the same identifier as the toolbar identifier included in the first data BD1. The associated data is linked as shown in FIG. 16 (step S42).

When the user A performs an operation of displaying the linked data, each linked data in FIG. 16 is displayed on the display unit 103A. Here, since the first data ED1 is associated with the second data DD22, the user A knows that the second toolbar B2 edited by the terminal device 10D has been imported by the terminal device 10E.
Also, the user A who is the distribution source of the second toolbar B2 can know the status of the second toolbar B2 in the other terminal devices 10 when the second toolbar B2 is sent to the plurality of terminal devices 10. .
Further, the user A can know the status of the second toolbar B2 in the terminal device 10D or the terminal device 10E without knowing the IP address of the terminal device 10D or the terminal device 10E to which the second toolbar B2 is secondarily distributed. it can. Further, since the first data and the second data are transmitted from the terminal device to another terminal device, it is possible to know the history of processing for the second toolbar B2 without going through the server device.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, It can implement with another various form. For example, the present invention may be implemented by modifying the above-described embodiment as follows. In addition, you may combine each of embodiment mentioned above and the following modifications.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a plurality of second data is generated in one terminal device 10, the generated plurality of second data is displayed in association with the first data, but is limited to this configuration. It is not something. For example, the second data BD21 and the second data BD22 generated in the terminal device 10B are displayed in association with the first data BD1, but in the terminal device 10A, as illustrated in FIG. The second data BD21 to which the first data is not linked may not be displayed. The second data DD21 and the second data DD22 generated in the terminal device 10D are displayed in association with the first data DD1, but in the terminal device 10A, the first data of the transmission destination is associated. The second data DD21 that is not present may not be displayed.

In the above-described embodiment, when displaying the associated first data and second data, editing the second data in the set of the first data and the second data associated downstream of the second data. When the content is “N / A”, the terminal device 10 that generated the linked downstream data and the terminal device 10 that generated the upstream data of the binding use the second toolbar B2 having the same content. Will be using. In this case, the terminal device 10A may display the upstream side data and the downstream side data with the same background color in the frame.
For example, when displaying linked data as shown in FIG. 17, the terminal device 10A determines the background of characters in the frame for the first data BD1, the second data BD22, the first data CD1, and the second data CD21. The first data DD1, the second data DD22, the first data ED1, and the second data ED21 may be displayed as red for the first data DD1, the second data DD22, and the second data ED21.

  In the embodiment described above, when the terminal device 10 displays the associated data, the first data and the second data are displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the second data may not be displayed and the first data may be displayed in association with each other.

  Further, in the terminal device 10, when displaying the associated data, the display of the second data is omitted, the display mode is not limited to that shown in FIG. 18, and other display modes It may be. For example, it can be seen from the contents of the second data BD22 and the second data DD22 that the second toolbar B2 has been edited twice, and the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10A and the page rearrangement button have been deleted. It can be seen that there are three types: 2 toolbar B2 and second toolbar B2 from which the page rearrangement button and the edit button are deleted. The terminal device 10A analyzes the linked data, and as shown in FIG. 19, the horizontal axis represents the date and time when the second toolbar was imported, and the vertical axis represents the number of types of the second toolbar, and the registration date and time and editing. The first data may be arranged and displayed in accordance with the number of times of being performed.

In the embodiment described above, the terminal device 10 that has received the toolbar data transmits the generated first data, second data, and associated data to the terminal device 10 that is the toolbar data transmission source. However, for example, when a failure occurs in communication with the toolbar data transmission source, the data does not reach the toolbar data transmission source.
In this case, the terminal device 10 refers to the IP address of the terminal device 10 added to the toolbar data, and sends the first data, the second data, and the associated data to the other terminal device 10 that transmitted the toolbar data. You may make it transmit.
For example, when the set of the generated first data DD1 and the second data DD21 cannot be transmitted to the terminal device 10B, the terminal device 10D transmits the set of the first data DD1 and the second data DD21 to the terminal device 10A.
For example, when the terminal device 10E cannot transmit the generated set of the first data ED1 and the second data ED21 to the terminal device 10D, the terminal device 10E transmits the set of the first data ED1 and the second data ED21 to the terminal device 10B. However, if transmission to the terminal device 10B is not possible, the transmission may be made to the terminal device 10A.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the toolbar data is imported in the terminal device 10, the set of the first data and the second data and the associated data are transmitted to the other terminal devices 10. It is not limited. For example, when the second toolbar B2 is edited, the second data may be generated, and the set of the first data and the second data may be transmitted to the terminal device 10 that is the transmission source of the toolbar.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the second toolbar B2 is composed of a plurality of tab bars, export and import may be performed including the order of arrangement of the tab bars, and the processing history for the second toolbar B2 Various data and information for obtaining data may be transmitted or received.
