Abstract

A Web application can be used without delivering data directly to a Web application provider. An application provider with a user interface function sends a user-operated Web browser an application script for providing a user interface function that operates on the Web browser. A data provider, which cooperates with the application provider using access information and provides a data manipulation function, manipulates the stored data in accordance with a data Add/Modify/Delete/Browse request for example if the data manipulation process is required in accompany with the user operation, and sends only information on the result back to the Web browser, a request source.

Claims

1. A Web application configuration method for providing an application service on a Web based on a request from a user using a Web browser, the method comprising the steps of:

using a user interface server for providing a user interface function in the Web browser and a data manipulation server for keeping a data and for providing a data manipulation function related to manipulation of the data;

displaying the Web browser on a display based on the user interface function of the user interface server; and

executing the data manipulation function with the data manipulation server corresponding to an input request from the Web browser displayed on the screen, and sending the manipulation result to the Web browser.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the data manipulation server keep access information required for accessing to the data manipulation server, sets up an access method with the user interface server according to the access information, and cooperates the data manipulation function and the user interface function.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the data manipulation server generates screen information to perform a process for setting up an access method with the user interface server, and provides the generated screen information to the Web browser.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the data manipulation server keeps a user setup information additionally to perform an operation setup of the user interface function for every user, and generates a screen information to perform a process for setting up an access method with the user interface server according to the user setup information and the access information, and provides the generated screen information to the Web browser.

5. The method according to 2, wherein the user interface server keeps user setup information for performing an operation setup of the user interface function on every user, and is operated according to the user setup information.

6. The method according to 1, wherein the data manipulation server further includes a data analysis function for analyzing the data being kept.

7. The method according to 6, wherein the data manipulation server provides an analysis result of the data analysis function as the data manipulation function.

8. The method according to 6, wherein the user interface function of the user interface server uses the analysis result provided by the data manipulation server.

9. A Web application configuration system for providing an application service on a Web based on a user request, comprising:

a Web browser to which the user inputs a request;

a user interface server for providing a user interface function corresponding to the user request; and

a data manipulation server that stores data and constitutes a data manipulation function,

wherein the Web browser receives an application script for the user interface function from the user interface server, and displays the received application script on a screen, and

wherein the data manipulation server executes the data manipulation function according to a request inputted from the Web browser, and sends a manipulation result to the Web browser.

10. The system according to 9, wherein the data manipulation server stores access information with a record of required information for accessing to the data manipulation server, sets up an access method with the user interface server according to the access information, and cooperates the data access function and the user interface function cooperatively.

11. The system according to 10, wherein the data manipulation server generates screen information to perform a process for setting up an access method with the user interface server according to the access information, and provides the generated screen information to the Web browser.

12. The system according to 11, wherein the data manipulation server stores a user setup information to perform an operation setup of the user interface function for every user, and generates the screen information for every user according to the user setup information.

13. The system according to 10, wherein the user interface server stores user setup information for performing an operation setup of the user interface function on every user, and is operated according to the user setup information.

14. The system according to 9, wherein the data manipulation server stores a content data as the data, and

wherein the data manipulation server further includes an analysis function for analyzing the content data and storing an analysis result of the analysis function as a part of the content data.

15. The system according to 14, wherein the data manipulation server provides the analysis result as the data manipulation function.

16. The system according to 14, wherein the user interface server stores an advertisement (AD) information and has a transmission function for transmitting the AD information,

wherein the data manipulation server response to an acquisition request for a content feature information from the Web browser by providing the Web browser with the analysis result as the feature information,

wherein the Web browser transmits an acquisition request for an AD information which is suitable for the featuring information to the user interface server, and

wherein the transmission function of the user interface server transmits an information related to the feature information, selected among the stored AD information.

17. The system according to 9, wherein the user interface server and the data manipulation server are installed in a data management enterprise.

18. A Web application configuration system for providing an application service on a Web based on a request from a user enterprise, comprising:

a Web browser to which the user enterprise inputs a request;

a user interface server installed in the user enterprise and in a data management enterprise connected through a network, and providing a user interface function corresponding to a request from the user enterprise; and

a data manipulation server, which is installed in the data management enterprise, stores data and constitutes a data manipulation function,

wherein the Web browser receives an application script for the user interface function from the user interface server, and displays the received application script on a screen, and

wherein the data manipulation server executes the data manipulation function according to a request inputted from the Web browser, and sends a manipulation result to the Web browser.

19. The system according to 18, wherein the data manipulation server stores access information with a record of required information for accessing to the data manipulation server, sets up an access method with the user interface server according to the access information, and cooperates the data access function and the user interface function cooperatively.

20. The system according to 18, wherein the data manipulation server generates screen information to perform a process for setting up an access method with the user interface server according to the access information, and provides the generated screen information to the Web browser.
