An application software and data management method for using a thin client terminal for information processing in an off-line state, in a thin client system that performs information processing using the thin client terminal connected to a network, the application software and data management method using:

  • a remote computer that is connected to the network and is controlled remotely by the thin client terminal to perform information processing;

    a management server that is connected to the network, and manages data and application software required for using the thin client terminal for information processing in the off-line state, management being performed using first management data that holds information specifying the data and information specifying the application software in association with each other; and

    a storage medium that stores data and application software used by the thin client terminal in the off-line state and second management data for managing the data and application software;

    whereinwhen the management server receives a request for sending information for registration of data to be used in the off-line state and designation of application software for performing processing on the data, from the thin client terminal, then the management server sends, to the thin client terminal, input screen information for sending the information;

    when the management server receives information indicating a request for registration of the data and designation of the application software for performing processing on the data, from the thin client terminal that has sent the previous request, then the management server acquires the data, whose registration has been requested, from the remote computer, and stores the acquired data into a storage device of the management server itself, and makes the first management data of the storage device hold information specifying the data and information specifying the application software in association with each other;

    the management server receives the second management data stored in the storage medium connected to the thin client terminal that has sent the information specifying the application software, refers to the received second management data, and when the management server judges that data generated by the thin client terminal in the off-line state exists, then the management server acquires the data from the storage medium and stores the acquired data into the storage medium of the management server itself; and
