Abstract
A mobile terminal accesses global DNS server using a URI of a resource in an intranet. The global DNS server returns an IP address of an intranet domain access resolver. The mobile terminal connects to the intranet domain access resolver using the IP address and transmits a portion of the URI. The intranet domain access resolver encodes information received from the mobile terminal and generates a new URI and returns the new URI to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal uses the new URI to access the intranet via a gateway based on an information item obtained by decoding the original URI.
Claims14
A computer system, the computer system comprising:
- a computer having a processor and a tangible storage device;
- an intranet system having a resource associated with a URI, the URI including a specific intranet domain and being accessible using a predetermined protocol supported by a server;
- a gateway server provided at a boundary between an outside and an inside of the intranet system, the gateway server being capable of accessing the resource using information included in the URI including the specific intranet domain, the resource being associated with the URI including the intranet domain and being provided in the intranet system;
- a client application provided on a terminal apparatus provided outside the intranet system, the client application being activated in association with a specific URI scheme, decoding information that is provided in a URI used in the activation and that indicates the URI, communicating with the gateway server, and accessing the resource;
- and
- an intranet domain access resolver adding, in response to being accessed using the information included in the URI including the intranet domain from the terminal apparatus, a URI obtained by encoding the URI including the intranet domain to the URI scheme, the URI scheme being associated with the client application so that the client application is activated, to generate a URI, and returning the generated URI,
- wherein, in a case where the URI including the intranet domain is accessed from another one of applications that are provided on the terminal apparatus and that include a web browser, on the basis of the URI returned from the intranet domain access resolver, the client application is activated, and the resource is accessible via the gateway server.

A method implemented by a processor of a computer in a system including:
- an intranet system having a resource associated with a URI, the URI including a specific intranet domain and being accessible using a predetermined protocol supported by a server;
- a gateway server provided at a boundary between an outside and an inside of the intranet system, the gateway server being capable of accessing the resource using information included in the URI including the intranet domain, the resource being associated with the URI including the intranet domain and being provided in the intranet system;
- a client application provided on a terminal apparatus provided outside the intranet system, the client application being activated in association with a specific URI scheme, decoding information that is provided in a URI used in the activation and that indicates the URI, communicating with the gateway server, and accessing the resource;
- and
- an intranet domain access resolver,
- wherein the method comprises:
- a step of, with the intranet domain access resolver, in response to being accessed using the information included in the URI including the intranet domain from the terminal apparatus, adding a URI obtained by encoding the URI including the intranet domain to the URI scheme, the URI scheme being associated with the client application so that the client application is activated, to generate a URI, and returning the generated URI;
- and
- a step of, with the terminal apparatus, in a case where the terminal apparatus accesses the URI including the intranet domain, on the basis of the URI returned from the intranet domain access resolver, activating the client application and accessing the resource via the gateway server.
