Network system, device and method for management of network

Abstract

The invention relates to a network system, network management equipment and its management method. Operation history information related to operations performed at a plurality of devices and communication history information related to communications performed between devices are managed. When an operation accompanied with communication is performed at the device, a predetermined action corresponding to the operation accompanied with communication is performed based on the managed operation history information and communication history information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a network system, a network management device and a management method thereof for managing information related to operations performed at a plurality of devices on a network and information related to communications performed between the devices. Background technique [0002] There is a conventional related technique in which, in a network system to which a plurality of devices are connected, if a user uses the operation history of each device, the user making access is presented with the operation history individually held in the devices. Furthermore, this related art provides a mechanism for executing an operation history appropriately selected by the user from the above-mentioned operation histories when the operation action is repeated again. [0003] In addition, there is another related technique in which by centrally managing the operation history at a server etc. in a network and performing a specific operation ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, similar to the above example, in the case of performing an operation action on the operation history of a plurality of devices, the timing at which the operation action is performed cannot be accurately determined.

Or, if the operation action based on the accumulated operation history coordinated among a plurality of devices is not accurately performed, completely wasted traffic occurs in the network system

In addition, there is a problem of causing disadvantages such as unnecessary charges to the user

[0017] Furthermore, in prior art document 3, since the actual user operations among a plurality of devices are accumulated based on the time period in which the actual user operations have been operated and used as related operation histories, there is also a problem that the devices cannot be strictly separated. Problems correlating operation history

[0018] Even in the case of operations performed in the same time period, the user's incidental operation on an unrelated device during a series of operations coordinated between devices, and the insertion of an Multiple operations over a long period of time, such as operations performed before and after watching a movie, become an inaccurate operation history

As a result, even if the historical information is presented to the user, the historical information has no use value as a repeated operation action
