Abstract
A disclosed method includes: specifying an activity to be executed, based on process definition that includes plural activities, and that includes a sequence of transitions between activities, wherein each activity includes information representing a device that is operated through a network; first determining, based on the sequence of the transitions, whether or not the specified activity is an initial operation for a certain device whose information is included in the specified activity; and obtaining an access right to the certain device, when determining that the specified activity is the initial operation for the certain device.
Claims11
A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
- specifying an activity to be executed, based on process definition that includes a plurality of activities, and that includes a sequence of transitions between activities, wherein each of the plurality of activities includes information representing a device that is operated through a network;
- first determining, based on the sequence of the transitions, whether or not the specified activity is an initial operation for a certain device whose information is included in the specified activity;
- and
- obtaining an access right to the certain device, when determining that the specified activity is the initial operation for the certain device.
A process execution method, comprising:
- specifying, by using a computer, an activity to be executed, based on process definition that includes a plurality of activities, and that includes a sequence of transitions between activities, wherein each of the plurality of activities includes information representing a device that is operated through a network;
- first determining, by using the computer, based on the sequence of the transitions, whether or not the specified activity is an initial operation for a certain device whose information is included in the specified activity;
- and
- obtaining, by using the computer, an access right to the certain device, when determining that the specified activity is the initial operation for the certain device.
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor using the memory and configured to execute a process, the process, comprising:
- specifying an activity to be executed, based on process definition that includes a plurality of activities, and that includes a sequence of transitions between activities, wherein each of the plurality of activities includes information representing a device that is operated through a network;
- first determining, based on the sequence of the transitions, whether or not the specified activity is an initial operation for a certain device whose information is included in the specified activity;
- and
- obtaining an access right to the certain device, when determining that the specified activity is the initial operation for the certain device.
