Operation definition information producing method, operation definition information producing apparatus, operation definition information producing program, recording medium and data structure

An operation definition information producing method for producing operation definition information that defines an operation of a client when using service in a system in which a server providing the service and the client using the service are connected by a network, the operation definition information producing method comprising:

• a defining step of causing a user to define an action of the client when using the service and an operation in the action;
• and
• a producing step of producing the operation definition information that defines the action of the client when using said service from the action of the client when using the service and the operation in the action that are defined by said user.

An operation definition information producing apparatus for producing operation definition information that defines an operation of a client when using service in a system in which a server providing the service and the client using the service are connected by a network, the operation definition information producing apparatus comprising:

• defining means for causing a user to define a state of the client when using said service and an operation in the state;
• and
• producing means for producing the operation definition information that defines the operation of the client when using the service from the state of the client when using the service and the operation in the state that are defined by said user.

An operation definition information producing program that causes a computer, which produces operation definition information that defines an operation of a client when using service in a system in which a server providing the service and the client using the service are connected by a network, to function as:

• defining means for causing a user to define a state of the client when using said service and an operation in the state;
• and
• producing means for producing the operation definition information that defines the operation of the client when using the service from the state of the client when using the service and the operation in the state that are defined by said user.

A computer readable recording medium storing an operation definition information producing program that causes a computer, which produces operation definition information that defines an operation of a client when using service in a system in which a server providing the service and the client using the service are connected by a network, to function as:

• defining means for causing a user to define a state of the client when using said service and an operation in the state;
• and
• producing means for producing the operation definition information that defines the operation of the client when using the service from the state of the client when using the service and the operation in the state that are defined by said user.

A data structure of operation definition information that defines an operation of a client when using service in a system in which a server providing the service and the client using the service are connected by a network, wherein the operation of the client when using said service is expressed by a state definition part, a method definition part and a state transition condition definition part.
