Abstract
[Problem] A screen image for monitoring the usage state of a client computer is acquired, the acquired screen image is efficiently stored, and the stored screen image can be easily searched. [Solution] A draw command is acquired by a driverware (22) when a screen image is generated in a client computer (2), and text data is extracted from the draw command. The extracted text data are associated with the draw command and stored in a database (13) of the server (3). The database (13) is searched using a keyword, and the screen image is reproduced from an associated draw command.
Claims20
A computer monitoring method for monitoring a usage state of a computer based on actuation of the computer by an operating system and on recording of a display image displayed on a display apparatus of the computer, the method comprising:
- acquiring, when data from the operating system or an application program actuated on the operating system is displayed on the display apparatus, a function to be executed by a subsystem (23, 34) that provides a graphics function of the operating system in order to create the display image by acquisition means (10, 35, 22) that uses an input function or an output function of the subsystem;
- extracting text data from the function by extraction means (10, 22);
- and
- storing the text data in association with the function by storage means (22, 38) in a database stored in the computer or in a server connected by a network with the computer.
A computer monitoring system for monitoring a usage state of a computer based on actuation of the computer by an operating system and recording of a display image displayed on a display apparatus of the computer, comprising the computer having:
- acquisition means (10, 22, 35) for, when data from the operating system or an application program actuated on the operating system is displayed on the display apparatus, acquiring a function to be executed by a subsystem (23, 24) that provides a graphics function of the operating system in order to create the display image in use of an input function or an output function of the subsystem;
- extraction means (10, 22) for extracting text data from the function;
- and
- sending means (26, 27, 37) for sending acquired data acquired by the acquisition means (10, 22, 35) and the text data to the computer or a server connected via a network with the computer in which a database is stored.
A monitoring system program for monitoring a usage state of a computer based on actuation of the computer by an operating system and on recording of a display image displayed on a display apparatus of the computer, the program causing the computer to execute:
- an acquisition step in which, when data from the operating system or an application program actuated on the operating system is displayed on the display apparatus, a function to be executed by a subsystem that provides a graphics function of the operating system in order to create the display image is acquired using an input function or an output function of the subsystem;
- an extraction step in which text data is extracted from the function;
- and
- a send step in which acquired data acquired in the acquisition step and the text data is sent to the computer or a server connected via a network with the computer in which a database is stored.
