  • Patent number: 7228544
    Abstract: In the prior art, a user bore a heavy burden on operating together different products having the same functions. A user 102 calls a job net managing function 105 via GUI/CLI 103, and defines a job net 106. A job net execution controlling function 109 interrupts a definition of the job net 106, and sequentially executes the defined jobs. The defined jobs call not real commands directly, but switchers 110 to 114 that define regularized interfaces. The switchers, referring to environment variables 101, select adaptors 115 and 116 properly to call real commands 117 and 118 corresponding thereto.

  • Patent number: 7165251
    Abstract: A computer has a table for managing a relationship between classes under which data to be processed unique to each of at least one first application program is classified according to a function/attribute thereof, and processes assigned to each class and each capable of being executed by a second application program. The table manages a relationship between said process and said second application program that executes said process. An in-context launching managing method comprises: when one of said data is selected, specifying the class to which said selected data belongs; extracting at least one process that is assigned to said specified class, creating a process list including the extracted process, and displaying said created process list; when one of said process is selected from said process list, accepting said selected process; and specifying the second application program related to said accepted process, and starting said specified second application program.
