Abstract

[Objective] To provide a technique for allowing, in a network communication system consisting of a first server for sending contents to a client and a second server for executing an application upon being called from the client, the first server to appropriately detect that the second server is called. [Solution Means] In a communication method in a network communication system composed of a first server, a second server, and a client, when predetermined contents are sent to the client from the first server, API information for executing an application program of the second server is included in the contents, and the application is executed on the second server by an API call from the client. During this, the second server generates execution certification information on the basis of dynamic common information that changes dynamically, and sends to the client the execution certification information along with the application execution result. The client sends the execution certification information to the first server, and the first server detects the execution of the application program on the second server.

Claims26

Dependent claims

A communication method in a network communication system composed of a first server, a second server, and a client connected via a network, comprising:

a contents transmission step of allowing a contents transmission means of the first server to send to the client predetermined contents including at least API (Application Programming Interface) information for executing a predetermined application program stored in the second server;
a contents reception step of allowing a contents reception means of the client to receive the contents;
an API call step of allowing an API call means of the client to call the second server based on the API information;
an application execution step of allowing an application execution means of the second server to execute, depending on the call, the application program stored in a storage means;
an execution certification information generation step of allowing an execution certification information generation means of the second server to generate execution certification information based on dynamically-changing dynamic common information;
an API response step of allowing an API response means of the second server to send the API execution result of the application execution means and the execution certification information to the client;
an API execution result reception step for allowing the contents reception means of the client to receive the API execution result and the execution certification information;
an execution certification information transmission step of allowing the execution certification information transmission means of the client to send at least the execution certification information to the first server;
an execution certification information reception step of allowing the execution certification information reception means of the first server to receive at least the execution certification information from the client;
and
an API execution detection step of allowing the API execution detection means of the first server to detect, based on the execution certification information, the execution of the application program by the application execution means of the second server in association with the contents transmission by the contents transmission means.

8 more elements

A network communication system composed of a first server, a second server, and a client connected via a network, wherein:

the first server includes:
a contents transmitter to send predetermined contents to the client so that the predetermined contents include at least API (Application Programming Interface) information for executing a predetermined application program stored in the second server;
an execution certification information receiver to receive at least execution certification information from the client;
and
an API execution detector to detect, based on the execution certification information, the execution of the application program by an application executor of the second server while being associated with the contents transmission by the contents transmitter, and
the client includes:
a contents receiver to receive contents from the first server and receive the API execution result and the execution certification information from the second server;
an API call section to call the second server based on the API information received from the first server;
and
an execution certification information transmitter to send to the first server at least the execution certification information received from the second server, and
the second server includes:
an application executor to execute the application program stored in a storage means depending on the call;
an execution certification information generator to generate execution certification information based on dynamically-changing dynamic common information;
and
an API responder to send, to the client, the API execution result of the application executor and the execution certification information.
