Information processing apparatus, work environment linking method and work environment linking program

A work environment linking method, comprising:

• creating, based on history information including information regarding files and applications which are used by each of a link origin terminal and a link destination terminal that are connected through a communication network, a correspondence condition between files used by the link origin terminal and applications used by the link destination terminal;
• acquiring, from the history information, latest history information regarding a link target file used by the link origin terminal, in response to a link request from one of the link origin terminal and the link destination terminal;
• determining a linking application that is used by the link destination terminal to perform operation on the link target file and satisfies a criterion included in the correspondence condition with respect to the link destination terminal based on the latest history information and the correspondence condition;
• and
• sending information regarding the linking application to the link destination terminal,
• wherein the creating step creates a correspondence condition being corresponded to an application that is usable at said link destination terminal using an item contained in said history information as a criterion.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a work environment linking program stored therein for causing a computer to perform a process comprising:

• creating, based on history information including information regarding files and applications which are used by each of a link origin terminal and a link destination terminal that are connected through a communication network, a correspondence condition between files used by the link origin terminal and applications used by the link destination terminal;
• acquiring, from the history information, latest history information regarding a link target file used by the link origin terminal, in response to a link request from one of the link origin terminal and the link destination terminal;
• determining a linking application that is used by the link destination terminal to perform operation on the link target file and satisfies a criterion included in the correspondence condition with respect to the link destination terminal based on the latest history information and the correspondence condition;
• and
• sending information regarding the linking application to the link destination terminal,
• wherein the creating step creates a correspondence condition being corresponded to an application that is usable at said link destination terminal using an item contained in said history information as a criterion.
