The user inputs the "environmental regulation identification name" and the "environmental regulation name" for this area.

When the initialization unit 14b receives the logon operation on the logon screen after returning from the sleep state, the initialization unit 14b initializes the stored information regarding the wallpaper and icon settings changed before the transition to the sleep state with the predetermined setting information. For example, the computer executes a process of initializing the stored information with the last applied setting information as the predetermined setting information. Further, for example, as predetermined information, among the setting information selected by each user terminal 10, the setting information corresponding to the user information input at the time of logon operation, and the setting information instructed by another user terminal 10. , Initialize the stored information with either setting information.

For example, when the initialization unit 14b accepts a logon operation on the logon screen that has returned from the sleep state, the desktop setting information 15c is set as the storage information regarding the wallpaper and icon settings that have been changed before the transition to the sleep state. Initialize with information 15b. Note that the stored information regarding the setting of the wallpaper and the icon may include, for example, the tile of the start screen, the shortcut, the background of the start screen, the start menu, the arrangement and size of the icons, and the information about the wallpaper and the taskbar. Information may be initialized with the environment regulation information 15b.

Further, when the initialization unit 14b receives an operation for the user terminal 10, it determines whether the operation is a logon operation for the user terminal 10 or a restart operation. For example, the initialization unit 14b acquires the event log of the OS, and determines from the event log whether the operation is a logon operation or a restart operation for the user terminal 10. Then, when the received operation is logon, the initialization unit 14b updates the setting information regarding the user terminal 10 to the first setting data. Further, when the received operation is a restart operation, the user terminal 10 updates the setting information related to the user terminal 10 to the second setting data.

For example, the initialization unit 14b updates the desktop setting information 15c to the environment regulation information 15b when the received operation is logon. Here, the initialization unit 14b stores the desktop setting information 15c as the environment regulation information 15b when the "last applied environment regulation" is set in the item of application of the environment regulation of the environment setting information 15a. Update to the last applied environmental regulations. Further, the initialization unit 14b stores the desktop setting information 15c as the environment regulation information 15b when "select the environment regulation" is set in the item of application of the environment regulation of the environment setting information 15a. Update to the environment rules selected by the user.

Further, when the received operation is a restart operation, the initialization unit 14b restores all the setting information other than the setting information related to the desktop to the factory default state. It should be noted that the information in the environmental regulation information 15b is not updated even when the system is restarted. At the time of restarting, the desktop setting information 15c may be updated to the environment regulation information 15b, or the desktop setting information 15c may be restored to the factory default state.

Further, when the initialization unit 14b receives a specific operation on the user terminal 10, it determines whether or not a predetermined setting regarding the designation of the screen to be displayed on the display unit 12 is made in response to the operation. For example, when the initialization unit 14b receives the logon operation for the user terminal 10, it determines whether or not the "last applied environmental regulation" is set. The display unit 12 shall be notified of the determination result.

The display control unit 14c generates screen data according to the initialized setting information and displays it on the display unit 12. In other words, the tablet terminal for students returns the wallpaper and icons to the default settings every time it accepts a logon operation from the sleep state, so even if other students change the wallpaper etc. before sleep, it will be initial. It can be used in a converted state.

Further, when a predetermined setting is made, the display control unit 14c acquires the screen information last set in the user terminal 10 from the storage unit 15 as a screen to be displayed on the display unit 12 according to the operation. Then, the display control unit 14c causes the display unit 12 to display a screen corresponding to the acquired screen information, and if a predetermined setting is not made, the display control unit 14c acquires the predetermined screen information from the storage unit 15 and acquires the predetermined screen. The display unit 12 displays a screen according to the information. For example, when the "last applied environment regulation" is set, the display control unit 14c displays the environment regulation information 15b last applied to the user terminal 10 as a screen to be displayed on the display unit 12 according to the operation. Is obtained from the storage unit 15. Then, the display control unit 14c displays the screen corresponding to the acquired environment regulation information 15b on the display unit 12, and if the "last applied environmental regulation" is not set, the display control unit 14c stores the environment regulation information 15b in the storage unit 15. The display unit 12 is displayed with a screen obtained from the above and corresponding to the acquired environment regulation information 15b.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of initialization of the desktop screen. As illustrated in FIG. 8, for example, even when a student sets an image including a character as a desktop wallpaper or changes the position and size of an icon, the desktop setting information 15c at logon is in accordance with the environment regulations. Is initialized. Therefore, for example, if the student performs a logon operation on the user terminal 10 from the sleep state before the lesson starts, the desktop screen can be returned to the original state at the time of logon, and the user terminal 10 can be returned to the original state at the time of logon. Can be used in class.

Here, regarding the desktop initialization process, the method of applying the last applied environmental rule, the method of applying the selected environmental rule, the method of applying the environmental rule corresponding to the user of the logon operation, and the teacher. There is a method of applying the environmental regulation instructed to the user terminal 10. In the following, each method will be described with specific usage examples.

First, the method of applying the last applied environmental regulations will be described. In the method of applying the last applied environmental regulation, there are cases where the user terminal 10 is used at school and cases where the user terminal 10 is taken home. When used in a school, when a normal login operation is performed from the sleep state, the desktop setting information 15c is updated based on the environment regulation information 15b in the cache area, that is, the last applied environment regulation information.

In addition, when taking it home, prepare before taking it home and prepare to return it to the school environment after taking it home. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of switching to a take-out environment. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of switching to a school environment. In the examples of FIGS. 9 and 10, user terminals 10A and 10B for students and user terminals 10C for teachers are illustrated. Here, in order to switch to the "take-out environment", for example, the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student accept an application start operation that allows the user to select where the user is on the desktop. Then, for example, the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student accept the selection of "one group per year" as the current classroom by the operation of the student after the application is started.

Then, for example, on the user terminal 10C for teachers, a list of student PCs of "one group per year" is displayed as the current classroom. Then, the user terminal 10C for the teacher notifies the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student of an instruction to switch to the "take-out environment". The user terminals 10C for teachers and the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student communicate by P2P (peer-to-peer) using infrared communication and Bluetooth (registered trademark).

Here, by switching to the "take-out environment", for example, the last applied environmental regulation is updated to the environment regulation for home study. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, in the environmental regulation information 15b, the icon identification name "icon A" is set as the environmental regulation in the school environment, but when the environment is switched to the "take-out environment", the icon identification name is learned at home. It is updated to the icon identifier corresponding to the icon of the calculator function for. Information on wallpapers and icons corresponding to this take-out environment can be updated on the user terminal 10C for teachers. In addition, the server 20 manages the information of the wallpaper and the icon corresponding to the latest take-out environment.

Therefore, when the server 20 is switched to the "take-out environment", the server 20 checks the environment regulation information 15b of the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student. Then, when the environment regulation information 15b is not the latest, the server 20 causes the student user terminals 10A and 10B to download the latest environment regulation. Then, when the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student are used at home, a logon operation is performed, the environment regulation information 15b of the "take-out environment" is applied, and the desktop screen is displayed. ..

In order to switch to the "school environment" on the teacher user terminal 10C, for example, each student user terminal 10A and 10B accepts an application startup operation that allows the user to select where the user is on the desktop. Then, for example, the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student accept the selection of "one group per year" as the current classroom by the operation of the student after the application is started.

Then, for example, on the user terminal 10C for teachers, a list of student PCs of "one group per year" is displayed as the current classroom. Then, the user terminal 10C for the teacher notifies the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student of an instruction to switch to the "school environment". Here, by switching to the "school environment", for example, the last applied environmental regulation is updated to the environmental regulation for the lesson .

Then, when the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student are used in a school class, a logon operation is performed, the environment regulation information 15b of the "school environment" is applied, and the desktop screen is displayed. It will be. In this way, the method of applying the last applied environmental regulations not only allows the desktop screen for lessons to be displayed during school lessons, but also allows home study even when taken home. desktop screen of use can be made to be displayed.

Next, a method of applying the environmental regulation selected by each user terminal 10 will be described. In the method of applying the environment regulation selected by each user terminal 10, when a normal login operation is performed from the sleep state, the environment regulation information 15b in the cache area, that is, the environment regulation information selected by the user is used as the basis. Update the desktop setting information 15c.

The environment regulation information 15b is stored in the cache area as described above, but communicates with the server 20 only at the first setting to acquire the selected environment regulation information. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of setting common environmental regulations. For the user terminals 10A and 10B, when "Select environment regulation" is selected at the time of initial setting and "Environmental regulation identification name" and "Environmental regulation identification name" are input, "Environmental regulation identification name" is input from the server 20. , And the information of the environmental regulation corresponding to the "environmental regulation name" is acquired and stored in the cache area as the environmental regulation information 15b.

As a result, unless the environment regulation is changed, the server 20 is not communicated and the environment regulation information 15b stored in the cache area is applied. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, by making the "environmental regulation identification name" and the "environmental regulation name" set in the user terminals 10A and 10B the same, the user terminals 10A and 10B have a common environment from the server 20. Receive each regulation and store the same environment regulation in the cache area. Therefore, for example, in a school, it is possible to standardize the desktop screen of each user terminal 10 used by the student.

Next, a method of applying the environmental rules corresponding to the user who performed the logon operation will be described. In the method of applying the environmental regulations corresponding to the user who performed the logon operation, the user logs on from the original logon screen of the education support application instead of logging on by the normal OS. On this original logon screen, the student who is the operator can easily log on by simply selecting the grade, group, and name. Here, when the logon is performed on the original logon screen, the user terminal 10 transmits the user information of the student who logged on to the server 20. Here, the user information may be, for example, the name of a student who is a user, an ID that identifies a student, or the like. When the server 20 receives the user information, the server 20 searches for the environment regulation corresponding to the user information and transmits the environment regulation corresponding to the searched user information to the user terminal 10.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of setting environment regulations for each user. In the example of FIG. 12, it is assumed that the user terminal 10A is used by the student user A and the user terminal 10B is used by the student user B. Further, in the example of FIG. 12, the server 20 stores the environment regulation A in association with the user A and the environment regulation B in association with the user B. In such a case, when logon is performed on the original logon screen by the operation of user A, the user terminal 10A transmits the user information of the logged-on user A to the server 20. Then, when the server 20 receives the user information of the user A, the server 20 searches for the environment regulation A corresponding to the user information of the user A, and transmits the searched environment regulation A to the user terminal 10A.

Similarly, when logon is performed on the original logon screen by the operation of user B, the user terminal 10B transmits the user information of the logged-on user B to the server 20. Then, when the server 20 receives the user information of the user B, the server 20 searches for the environment regulation B corresponding to the user information of the user B, and transmits the searched environment regulation B to the user terminal 10B. Therefore, it is possible to apply different environmental regulations to each user, and it is possible to display a desktop arbitrarily set by each user.

Next, a method of applying the environmental regulations instructed by the user terminal 10C for teachers will be described. In the method of applying the environmental regulations instructed by the user terminal 10C for teachers, for example, the user terminal 10C for teachers gives an instruction to switch to the environmental regulations corresponding to the subject of the lesson to the user terminals 10A and 10B for students. Notice.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of switching environmental regulations according to the lesson. In the example of FIG. 13, user terminals 10A and 10B for students and user terminals 10C for teachers are illustrated. For example, when a Japanese language class is to be held as a group of classes per year from now on, in order to switch to the "Japanese language environment", for example, on the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student, select where the user on the desktop is now. Accepts possible application launch operations. Then, for example, the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student accept the selection of "one group per year" as the current classroom by the operation of the student after the application is started.

Then, for example, on the user terminal 10C for teachers, a list of student PCs of "one group per year" is displayed as the current classroom. Then, the user terminal 10C for the teacher notifies the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student of an instruction to switch to the "national language environment". Further, when switching to the "national language environment", the server 20 searches for the environment regulation corresponding to the "national language" and transmits the "environmental regulation 1" corresponding to the searched user information to the user terminal 10.

Then, when the logon operation is performed on the user terminals 10A and 10B for each student, the environment regulation information 15b of the "national language environment" is applied and the desktop screen is displayed. In this way, by applying the environmental regulations instructed by the user terminal 10C for teachers, it is possible to easily change the applicable environmental regulations according to the content of the lesson.

[Processing flow]
Next, a series of processing flows when the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment receives a logon operation or a restart operation will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the initialization process.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the initialization unit 14b receives an operation on the user terminal 10 (affirmation in step S101), the initialization unit 14b determines whether the accepted operation is a restart operation (step S102). As a result, when the initialization unit 14b determines that the received operation is a restart operation (affirmation in step S102), the initialization unit 14b restores the settings related to the user terminal 10 to the factory default state (step S103).

Further, when the initialization unit 14b determines that the accepted operation is not a restart operation (denial in step S102), the initialization unit 14b determines whether or not the accepted operation is a logon operation (step S104). As a result, when the initialization unit 14b determines that the received operation is not a logon operation (step S104 is denied), the initialization unit 14b returns to step S101. If the initialization unit 14b determines that the received operation is a logon operation (affirmation in step S104), the initialization unit 14b determines whether or not the user has logged on from the original logon screen (step S105).

As a result, when the initialization unit 14b determines that the user has logged on from the original logon screen (affirmation in step S105), the initialization unit 14b acquires the environment regulation corresponding to the user from the server 20 and applies the acquired environment regulation (the acquired environment regulation is applied). Step S106), the process proceeds to step 113. Further, when it is determined from the original logon screen that the initialization unit 14b is not logged on (step S105 is denied), the initialization unit 14b acquires the environment setting information 15a from the storage unit 15 (step S107). Then, the initialization unit 14b refers to the environment setting information 15a and determines whether or not the item of application of the environment regulation is set to the "last applied environment regulation" (step S108).

As a result, when it is determined that the application item of the environmental regulation is set to the "last applied environmental regulation" (step S108 affirmative), the initialization unit 14b applies it last in the local cache. The environmental regulations are applied (step S109), and the process proceeds to step 113. Further, when it is determined that the initialization unit 14b is not set in the "last applied environment regulation" (denial in step S108), the initialization unit 14b determines whether or not the teacher's user terminal 10 has received an instruction to switch the environment. (Step S110). Here, when the application item of the environmental regulation is not set to "Last applied environmental regulation", that is, it means that the application item of the environmental regulation is set to "Select environmental regulation". To do.

Then, when it is determined that the initialization unit 14b has not received the instruction to switch the environment from the teacher's user terminal 10 (denial in step S110), the initialization unit 14b applies the selected environment regulation in the local cache (step S111). ), Proceed to step 113. If it is determined that the initialization unit 14b has received the instruction to switch the environment from the teacher's user terminal 10 (affirmation in step S110), the initialization unit 14b applies the instructed environmental regulation (step S112), and steps. Proceed to 113. That is, when it is determined that the initialization unit 14b has received the instruction to switch the environment from the teacher's user terminal 10, the initialization unit 14b acquires the environment regulation corresponding to the environment instructed to switch from the server 20 and obtains the environment regulation corresponding to the environment. Apply environmental regulations. In step S113, the display control unit 14c displays the desktop screen based on the applied environmental regulations (step S113), and ends the process.

[effect]
