The transmission message counter 115 is reset (step S200), and the start time is measured by the system based on the CPU time (step S201). In the present embodiment, the start time is measured by the system time by the CPU. Alternatively, the start time may be measured by an absolute time.

Next, the message communication management means 104 is connected to the window system server 100 and the client application 103, and the window system server 100 and the client application 103 are connected.
When a message exchanged with the server is received, the message is stored in the transmission message buffer 105 (step S202).

The message stored in the transmission message buffer 105 is an event message generated by a user's input (for example, Ke in the case of the X window system).
It is determined whether the event is a yPress event message, a ButtonPress event message, or the like (step S203).

When the message stored in the transmission message buffer 105 is an event message generated by a user input, the message, the value of the message transmission counter 115, and the time when the message is stored in the transmission message buffer 105 The time information indicating the relative time from the reference time is recorded in the event message memory 107 in order (step S204).

Next, the transmission message buffer 105
Is transmitted to the destination (step S207), and the message transmission counter 115 is incremented by 1 (step S208). After the message transmission counter 115 is incremented, the process proceeds to step S
Returning to 202, the next message is received.

When the message stored in the transmission message buffer 105 is not an event message generated by the user's input (step S203), the client application 103 generates a new window based on the message stored in the transmission message buffer 105. It is determined whether or not the request is a window generation request to the window system server 100 (step S205).

The message stored in the transmission message buffer 105 is stored in the client application 10.
If the request is a window generation request from the third window to the window system server 100, the window ID of the window generated by the message is recorded in the first window ID memory 110 by the window ID recording means 109 (step S206). In recording this window ID in the first window ID memory 110, the first
The window IDs recorded in the window ID memory 110 are arranged in the order of windows requested to be generated by the client application 103, that is, in the order of windows actually opened.

Next, steps S207 and S208 are sequentially executed, and the process returns to step S202.

The message stored in the transmission message buffer 105 is stored in the client application 10
3 is not a window generation request to the window system server 100, the recording of the window ID in the first window ID memory 110 (step S206).
, The process proceeds to step S207.

Next, the reproduction processing operation will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the reproduction processing operation, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the reprocessing routine of FIG.

In this reproduction processing operation, message management processing and message reproduction processing by the message communication management means 104 are performed. More specifically, the message communication management unit 104 connects the window system server 100 and the client application 103 and relays messages exchanged between them, as in the recording process. The event message from the window system server 100 generated based on the input from the input device 101 is discarded without storing it in the message buffer 105 for transmission. Is set to be transmitted to the application client 103 as if the event message was reproduced by a user input. That is, it is set so that the input performed by the user during the recording process is reproduced, and the work content is reproduced based on the reproduced input.

First, when activated, as shown in FIG.
As in the recording process, the message transmission counter 115 is reset (step S300), and the start time is measured (step S301).

Next, the message communication management means 104 is connected to the window system server 100 and the client application 103, and the window system server 100 and the client application 103 are connected.
When a message exchanged with the server is received, the message is stored in the transmission message buffer 105 (step S302).

Next, the transmission message buffer 105
It is determined whether the message stored in is a window generation request from the client application 103 to the window system server 100 (step S205).

The message stored in the transmission message buffer 105 is stored in the client application 10.
3 is a window generation request to the window system server 100, the window ID of the window generated by the message is recorded in the second window ID memory 111 by the window ID recording means 109 (step S304). In the recording of this window ID in the second window ID memory 111, the second
The window IDs recorded in the window ID memory 111 are arranged in the order of windows requested to be generated by the client application 103, that is, in the order of windows actually opened.

Next, the transmission message buffer 105

When a message is stored in the reproduction message buffer 112 or after storing the event message, time information and the value of the message transmission counter 115 recorded in the event message memory 107, the value of the reproduction message counter 116 is The value of the message transmission counter 115 at the current time is compared, and it is determined whether or not the value of the message transmission counter 115 is equal to or more than a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value of the reproduction message counter 116 (the value of the reproduction message counter 116 -1). A determination is made (step S402).

When the value of the message transmission counter is equal to or more than (the value of the reproduction message counter 116 -1) or more, the window ID included in the event message in the reproduction message buffer 112 is
(Step S403). In this window ID conversion, the first window ID memory 11
The window IDs at the time of the event message recording process are recorded in the order of generation of the windows, and the window IDs of the windows generated from the start of the reproduction process to the present time are recorded in the second window ID memory 111 in the order of the window generation. As a result, the window ID conversion means 113 determines that the window ID contained in the event message in the message buffer 112 for reproduction is
Is searched in the first window ID memory 110, the window ID in the second window ID memory 111 corresponding to the searched number is retrieved, and the event message in the playback message buffer 112 is retrieved. Is converted to the extracted window ID.

Next, the playback message buffer 112
The time information (relative time at the time of the recording process) corresponding to the event message in the table is compared with the relative time from the reference time at the present time, and the reproduction message buffer 11 is compared.
The process waits until the relative time from the reference time at the present time matches the time information corresponding to the event message in 2 (step S404).

When the time information corresponding to the event message in the reproduction message buffer 112 matches the current relative time from the reference time, the event message in the reproduction message buffer 112 is stored in the transmission message buffer 105 and stored. The event message is transmitted to the client application 103 by the message communication management means 104.

After the transmission of the event message, the data stored in the reproduction message buffer 112 is cleared (step S406), and the message transmission counter 4
07 is incremented by 1 (step S40).
7). After the message transmission counter 407 is incremented, the process returns to step S400.

Referring to FIG. 11, first, it is determined whether or not the message stored in the transmission message buffer 605 is an event message generated by a user input (step S1101). The event generated by the user input is the input device 101
This is an event that occurs when a key input from a keyboard is performed, and an event that occurs when a button of the mouse that is the input device 101 is pressed or the mouse is moved.

If the message stored in the transmission message buffer 605 is not an event message generated by a user input, escape from this routine is performed.

If the message stored in the transmission message buffer 605 is an event message generated by a user input, the transmission counter value, the time stamp, the index flag, and the content of the event message are set to 1 according to the recording format shown in FIG. It is recorded as a unit in the event message memory 609 so as to be arranged in the order of event messages generated (steps S1102 to S110
1107). The index flag is set according to the mode number stored in the execution mode number buffer 618, and the set index flag is recorded in the event message memory 609. Specifically, the index flag is recorded as ON when the execution mode number is “1”, and is recorded as OFF when the execution mode number is “0”.

After recording the event message, escape from this routine is performed.

In the first and second window ID memories 611 and 612, these window IDs are recorded so as to be arranged in the order of the generated windows.

After the window ID is stored in the first window ID memory 611 or after the window ID is stored in the second window ID memory 612, the process exits from this routine.

Next, the operation of the event message reproducing routine executed by the event message reproducing means will be described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 13, first, it is determined whether or not a message to be reproduced is prepared in the reproduction message buffer 614 (step S130).
1).

If a message to be reproduced is not prepared in the reproduction message buffer 614, a transmission counter value (hereinafter referred to as a reproduction number), a time stamp, an index flag, and the content of the event message are read from the event message memory 609. Are read and stored in the message buffer 614 for reproduction (step S1302).

When a message to be reproduced is stored in the reproduction message buffer 614 or when a message to be reproduced is stored, the reproduction number in the reproduction message buffer 614 and the value of the message transmission counter 606 at the present time are read. Then, it is determined whether or not the reproduction number is equal to or less than the value of the message transmission counter 606 (step S1303).

The reproduction number is the message transmission counter 6
If it is greater than 06, exit from this routine is performed.

When the playback number is message transmission counter 6
When the value is equal to or smaller than the value of 06, the execution mode number is referred to (steps S1304 to S1307).

If the execution mode number is 2 (stop), the standby is continued until the execution mode is changed by an external input from the user (step S1304).

The execution mode number is 4 (skip playback)
If so, the index flag in the reproduction message buffer 614 is referred to (step S1306). If the index flag is OFF, window ID conversion is executed (step S1309), and if the index flag is ON, the execution mode number buffer 6
After changing the execution mode number in 18 to 2 (stop) (step S1308), window ID conversion is executed (step S1309). If the execution mode number is 5 (1 event playback),
The execution mode number in the execution mode number buffer 618 is changed to 2 (stop) (step S1308).
Later, window ID conversion is performed (step S1).
309).

If the execution mode number is other than that (3: normal reproduction, 6: time adjustment reproduction, 7: digest reproduction), window ID conversion is executed (step S13).
09).

In the window ID conversion, the window ID conversion included in the event message in the reproduction message buffer 614 is performed by the window ID conversion means 615. In the first window ID memory 611, the window IDs at the time of the event message recording process are recorded in the order in which the windows were generated.
Window ID memory 612 stores the window IDs of the windows generated at the present time in the order in which the windows were generated.
The D conversion means 615 includes a message buffer 614 for reproduction.
Is searched in the first window ID memory 611 to find the window ID of the event message in the list, and the window ID in the second window ID memory 612 corresponding to the searched number is taken out. The window ID portion in the event message in the playback message buffer 614 is
Convert to

If the execution mode number is 3 (normal reproduction) after the conversion of the window ID, the event message in the reproduction message buffer 614 is stored in the transmission message buffer 605 (step S1312). The contents are cleared (step S1313).

Next, the event message in the transmission message buffer 605 is transmitted by the message communication management means 604 (step S1314), and the value of the message transmission counter 606 is incremented by 1 (step S1315). After the message transmission counter 606 is incremented, the process returns to step S1301.

After the conversion of the window ID, if the mode number is 6 (time adjustment reproduction) or 7 (digest reproduction), a time adjustment routine is executed (step S13).

Referring to FIG. 14, first, it is determined whether or not the execution mode number is "6" (step S1401). If the execution mode number is “6” (time adjustment reproduction), a wait time is calculated (step S1402). The wait time is a value obtained by multiplying the time stamp in the reproduction message buffer 614 by the value stored in the weight coefficient memory 805, and is stored in the wait time buffer 804.

When the execution mode number is not "6",
That is, when the execution mode number is "7" (digest playback), the time stamp in the playback message buffer 614 is compared with the value (interval time) stored in the interval time memory 806,
It is determined whether the time stamp is greater than the interval time (step S1403).

If the time stamp is smaller than the interval time, the process shifts to step S1402, where a wait time is calculated.

If the time stamp is larger than the interval time, the wait time is calculated by multiplying the interval time by the value stored in the weight coefficient memory 805 (step S1404). The wait time calculated here is stored in the wait time buffer 804.

After calculating the wait time, the current time stamp is measured, and the measured time stamp is stored in the time stamp buffer 803 (step S1405).

Next, it is determined whether the value stored in the wait time buffer 804 is equal to or less than the value stored in the time stamp buffer 803 (step S).
1406). If the value stored in the wait time buffer 804 is less than or equal to the value stored in the time stamp buffer 803, the process exits from this routine.

If the value stored in wait time buffer 804 is larger than the value stored in time stamp buffer 803, the processing is repeated from step S1405.
