  • FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation concept of generating an inline frame in the working environment and loading an adapter into the inline frame according to the step P2 of FIG. 7.
  • a calculator 52 incompatible with the working environment 4 is disposed within a tool cloud 13.
  • an inline frame 7 is generated in the working environment 4 and an adapter 8 corresponding to the calculator 53 is loaded with the inline frame 7.
  • a software development kit 21 (see FIG. 10) provided by the working environment 4 is used as a standard interface 22 of transmitting data and/or commands between the working environment 4 and the inline frame 7 so as to previously integrate the calculator 53 with the standard interface 22.
  • the software development kit 21 is compatibly executed between the working environment 4 and the inline frame 7.
  • the calculator 53 is integrated with the standard interface 22 by using and/or implementing a software function call, wherein the software function call is provided and/or defined by the standard interface 22.
  • the integrating method is well known to those skilled in the art, and is not redundantly described herein. Moreover, the method of integrating the calculator 53 with the standard interface 22 is not restricted.
  • a software module produced by previously integrating the calculator 53 and the standard interface 22 is an adapter 8.
  • the calculator 53 of the tool cloud 13 is configured in the projected workspace 6 according to the parsed contents of the projectable space instance 3. Consequently, the adapter 8 is loaded with the inline frame 7 and used as a unified tool 51, which is operated in the working environment 4.
  • the standard interface 22 is a drive interface for the working environment 4 to drive the unified tool 51. Under this circumstance, the working environment 4 can drive the unified tool 51 in order to execute the calculator 53 in the inline frame 7.
  • the unified inline frame as described in the step P1 of FIG. 7 is the unified tool 51.
  • FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating an implementation concept of executing the calculator in the working environment.
  • any data and/or command is transmitted between the working environment 4 and the inline frame 7 through a PostMessage function, but not limited to.
  • the PostMessage function is defined in HTML5 web messaging specification.
  • an initial command S1 is firstly transmitted to the inline frame 7.
  • the calculator 53 in the inline frame 7 is enabled.
  • the initial state of the calculator 53 is zeroed.
  • a calculation instruction set S3 e.g., “5+2”
  • the calculator 53 will perform calculation.
  • a result information S4 (e.g. “7” ) is transmitted back to the working environment 4 from the inline frame 7. Then, for disabling the calculator 53 in the inline frame 7 by the working environment 4, a close command S2 is transmitted to the inline frame 7. According to the close command S2, the calculator 53 is disabled.
  • any tool incompatible with the working environment can be executed in the working environment according to the method of the present invention. Consequently, the method of the present invention can facilitate the integration and application of various tools.
  • the above working environment is illustrated by taking the working environment of the workspace as an example. It is noted that the type of the working environment used in the present invention is not restricted.
  • the inline frame is generated in the working environment, and the adapter integrating the original tool and the standard interface is loaded with the inline frame. Consequently, the tool incompatible with the working environment can be executed in the working environment. Under this circumstance, if someone intends to take an unscrupulous action (e.g., an action of stealing data or an action of jumping the webpage to another website) through the tool, only the inline frame is damaged but the working environment is not adversely affected. Consequently, the threat to the information security is eliminated.
  • an unscrupulous action e.g., an action of stealing data or an action of jumping the webpage to another website
  • FIG. 11 is a schematic functional diagram illustrating a machine using the method of FIG. 7 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the machine 14 comprises a browser 141 and an executing unit 142.
  • a website-based working environment for operating a unified tool is loaded into the browser 141.
  • the executing unit 142 is used for generating the inline frame in the working environment which is loaded with an adapter to produce a unified tool compatibly operated in the working environment.
  • a software development kit provided by the working environment is used as at least one standard interface of transmitting at least one data and/or at least one command between the working environment and the unified inline frame.
  • the software development kit is compatibly executed between the working environment and the inline frame.
  • the adapter is produced as a software module which is the integration of an original tool incompatible with the working environment and the at least one standard interface.
  • the original tool in the inline frame is executed by the working environment through the at least one standard interface according to a drive means of driving the unified tool.
  • the details operations of the machine are similar to those depicted in FIGS. 7 ⁇ 10, and are not redundantly described herein.
