Patent Images
1. A user interface integration method executed by a processing apparatus connected to a client and a plurality of servers via a communication network, the method comprising steps of:
- preparing user interface information including;
server definition information defining the plurality of servers providing user interfaces constituting an integrated user interface provided to the client; and
copy data information for assigning a function for copying common data between user interfaces constituting the integrated user interface;
upon a request from the client, requesting for the user interface to each of the servers providing the user interfaces constituting the integrated interface, according to the integrated user interface information;
assigning the copy function to each of the user interfaces transferred from the respective servers, according to the integrated user interface information, thereby creating an integrated user interface integrating the user interfaces having the copy function; and
transmitting the integrated user interface to the client so as to display the integrated user interface to the client.
