As shown in FIG. 4 , the management device 10 has a user management section 11 , an environment payout section 12 , a history management section 13 , a storage section 14 and a reflection execution section 15 . The components of the management device 10 may be realized by circuits or may be realized as software functions (means).

The user management unit 11 manages user information. Upon receiving the login information from the terminal device 100, the user management unit 11 determines whether the received login information is appropriate. For example, when a user ID and a password are included in the login information, the user management unit 11 determines whether the login information is appropriate based on the comparison result of the password corresponding to the user ID registered in advance and the received password. Determine whether or not In the case where there is no need to set a password, if the received user ID is registered, it may be determined that the user ID is appropriate.

When the user management section 11 determines that the received login information is appropriate, it transmits the user ID included in the login information to the environment payout section 12 . On the other hand, when the user management unit 11 determines that the received login information is inappropriate, the user management unit 11 does not permit login from the terminal device 100 that sent the login information. For example, when it is determined that the received login information is inappropriate, the user management unit 11 may transmit an error notification to the terminal device 100 that sent the login information.

The user management unit 11 acquires the working environment associated with the user ID from the environment issuing unit 12 . Further, the user management unit 11 acquires from the environment issuing unit 12 the work environment linked to the user ID currently logged in from another terminal device 100 . The user management unit 11 transmits the acquired work environment to the terminal device 100 that is the transmission source of the user ID.

The environment payout unit 12 acquires the user ID from the user management unit 11 . The environment issuing unit 12 issues the work environment associated with the acquired user ID to the terminal device 100 . In addition, if there is a user ID logged in with another terminal device 100 , the environment issuing unit 12 also assigns to the terminal device 100 a working environment linked to the user ID of that user. The environment issuing unit 12 then transmits the work environment associated with the user ID to the user management unit 11 .

In the example of FIG. 1, user A is issued a copy of the original work environment in which user A makes changes. Further, when the user B logs in from another terminal device 100, in addition to the copy of the original working environment, a copy of the working environment reflecting the work performed by the user B is also issued to the user A.

The history management unit 13 manages work histories for each user ID registered in the environment building system 1 . The history management unit 13 acquires the work history associated with the user ID from the user management unit 11 . The history management unit 13 stores the work history for each user ID in each of the history files 140-1 to 140-n of the storage unit 14 (n is a natural number). FIG. 4 shows an example in which user A's history file 140-1, user B's history file 140-2, . . . , and user N's history file 140-n are stored. In the following description, the history files 140-1 to 140-n are referred to as the history file 140 when they are not distinguished from each other.

When the user A sets the original work environment (first work environment), the history management unit 13 stores the work history of the user A for the first work environment in the user A's history file 140- Merge to 1. Further, when the user A sets the work environment (second work environment) of the user B, the history management unit 13 stores the work history performed by the user A in the second work environment as the work history of the user B. Merge to file 140-2. Further, when the user B sets the work environment (second work environment) of the user A, the history management unit 13 stores the work history performed by the user B in the second work environment as the work history of the user A. Merge to file 140-1.

The storage unit 14 stores history files 140-1 to 140-n for each user ID (n is a natural number). A work history for each user ID is saved in each history file 140-1 to 140-n.

The reflection executing unit 15 receives a work environment update request from the terminal device 100 where the user who is logged in to the environment building system 1 is working. Upon receiving a work environment update request from the terminal device 100, the reflection execution unit 15 acquires the latest work environment corresponding to the update request from the storage unit 14, and transmits the acquired latest work environment to the terminal device 100. do.

As shown in FIG. 2, on the screen of the terminal device 100, in addition to the original work environment (first work environment), the work environment in which another user is working (second work environment) is displayed. The user can perform setting work for both the first work environment and the second work environment.

For example, when the setting work for the second work environment by the user is completed, the reflection execution unit 15 determines whether the work environment may be reflected to the terminal device 100 of the user who is working with the second work environment as the original. Send an acknowledgment to confirm. A user who is working with the second work environment as the original can check the settings made by other users by referring to the confirmation notification displayed on the screen of the terminal device 100 .

When permission for the confirmation notification is obtained, the reflection executing unit 15 generates a script for changing to the original environment, and enables the generated script for changing to be executed when the original environment is stopped.

On the other hand, if permission is not obtained for the confirmation notification, the reflection executing unit 15 suspends generation of the change script until the change work by each user is completed and all users agree. The reflection execution unit 15 generates a change script based on the change history at the time each user agrees.

The above is a description of an example of the configuration of the management device 10 of the present embodiment. Note that the configuration of the management device 10 shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and does not limit the configuration of the management device 10 of this embodiment.
