Abstract
A client device used by a user is formed by a PC as a first client and a terminal device as a second client. The terminal device is, for example, a portable type and has software capable of inputting/outputting information to/from a personal computer (PC) and being controlled at a remote place. For example, a plurality of PCs are integrated for management. Data used by the user is not stored in the terminal device side but stored in the PC side. The PC includes, for example, a sub processor and a state of the main body is monitored by the sub processor so as to detect abnormality.
Claims11
A computer system including first computers, each of which is allocated for one user and comprises:
- a main processor;
- a sub processor for monitoring a state of the first computer including the main processor;
- monitoring means for monitoring states of power supply, temperature, and functional failure in the first computer by the sub processor;
- and
- means used when state abnormality is detected in the states by the monitoring means, for reporting the state abnormality to a management computer communicably connected to the sub processor or to each of the management computer and a second computer used by the user and communicably connected to the sub processor at a remote place.
A computer system including first computers, at least one of which is allocated for one user to be used for a job of the user and connected to a network;
- wherein
- each of the first computers includes a main processor, and a sub processor for monitoring a state of the first computer including the main processor,
- the computer system comprises a terminal device communicably connected to the first computer via the network for use by the user, and
- the user uses an environment of the first computer allocated for the user from the terminal device at a remote place, and user data created and referenced by the user by using the terminal device is stored in the first computer at the remote place and not stored in the terminal device.
A computer system including first computers, at least one of which is allocated for one user to be used for a job of the user and connected to a network, the computer system comprising:
- a second computer communicably connected to the first computers via the network at a remote place and used by the user, and
- one or more management computers connected to the network,
- wherein each of the first computers includes a main processor, a sub processor for monitoring a state of the first computers including the main processor, and monitoring means for monitoring each state in the first computer by the sub processor,
- the second computer includes software for using an environment of the first computer allocated for the user at a remote place via the network,
- the management computer has a correspondence relationship table indicating correspondence relationship between each user and a first computer allocated for the user and
- means for referencing the correspondence relationship table in response to a connection request from the second computer used by the user computer, and connecting or allowing connection of the second computer of the user to the first computer allocated for the user, so that the user can use the first computer.
A computer system including first computers, at least one of which is allocated for one user to be used for a job of the user and connected to a network, the system comprising:
- a second computer communicably connected to the first computers via the network at a remote place and used by the user, and
- one or more management computers connected to the network,
- wherein each of the first computers includes a main processor, a sub processor for monitoring a state of the first computers including the main processor, and monitoring means for monitoring each state in the first computer by the sub processor,
- the second computer includes software for using an environment of the first computer allocated for the user at a remote place via the network,
- the management computer has a correspondence relationship table indicating correspondence relationship between each user and a first computer allocated for the user and flexibly manages allocation combination between the first computer and the second computer for each user without fixing the combination,
- user data for each of the users created and referenced by the user is stored in a common storage medium on the network, and
- the management computer which has received a connection request from the second computer of the user allocates the first computer not being used by another user at the moment to the user and connects or allows connection of the first computer to the second computer.
