Information processing apparatus and control method of information processing apparatus

Abstract

An information processing apparatus that receives data from a plurality of external devices connected via a network and displays an operation window based on a content of the data. The information processing apparatus includes a reception unit that receives a plurality of pieces of data transmitted from the plurality of external devices, an analysis unit that analyzes the received data and identifies a first constituent portion common to the respective data and a second constituent portion not included in the first constituent portion, and a display unit that displays information included in the first constituent portion in a common display area of an operation window, and displays information included in the second constituent portion in an individual display area of the operation window.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing technique for processing data received from an external device via a network. Background technique

[0002] Heretofore, there have been systems capable of remotely operating external devices from a personal computer (PC) or the like via a network. For example, in a network camera system used for remote monitoring or the like, a PC and a camera are connected via a network, and the camera can be operated from the PC. Usually in a network camera system, images / videos, operation button information, etc. are sent from the camera to a PC, and received images / videos, operation buttons, etc. are displayed on a web browser or a dedicated application in the PC. And, information on the operation performed by the operator on the PC is sent to the video camera so that the direction and zoom magnification of the video camera can be changed.

[0003] There are also remote operating systems capable of operat...

[0046] In this embodiment, a computer device is described as a document processing device (information processing device) according to an exemplary configuration of the present invention. will refer to figure 1 The block diagram depicts the structure of the computer device of the present invention.

[0047] exist figure 1 In, the CPU 101 serving as a system controller controls the entire device. ROM102 is a read only memory which stores the control program of CPU101 and various fixed data. RAM103 is a rewritable memory composed of SRAM, DRAM, etc., and is used to store program control variables and the like. Various setting parameters, working buffers, etc. are also stored in RAM103. The hard disk 104 is used to store various files such as XML files. An operation unit 106 composed of a hard keyboard, a pointing device, etc. is used to perform various input operations for the operator. The display unit 105 is used to notify the operator with a display using an LCD or th...

[0080] In the first embodiment, the processing in the system is described assuming that the contents of a plurality of g elements whose id attribute has the value "Keys" in the XML data sent from the camera are all the same. In this embodiment, the processing in a system in which the contents of a plurality of g elements whose id attribute has the value "Keys" are different will be described. figure 1 block diagram and figure 2 The system configuration diagram is similar to that of the first embodiment.
