Abstract

There is provided a control program executable in a computer to control a plurality of control-object devices connected to a network. The control program is separately started for each of the control-object devices. The control program is configured to perform a setting step and a saving step. The setting step comprises modifying contents of relevant data of the control-object devices or the control program. The saving step comprises saving the relevant data in a memory in different saving forms in association with respective control-object devices. It is possible to easily perform a separate control of the plurality of video servers, even when a plurality of control-object devices is controlled by one device.

Claims

1. A control program executable in a computer to control a plurality of control-object devices connected to a network, the control program configured to perform the following:

modifying contents of relevant data of the control-object devices or the control program; and

saving the relevant data in a memory in different storage forms in association with respective control-object devices, wherein the control program is separately started for each of the control-object devices.

2. The control program of claim 1, wherein saving comprises saving the relevant data in different folders for the control-object devices.

3. The control program of claim 1, wherein saving comprises saving the relevant data with different file names for the control-object devices.

4. The control program of claim 1 further comprising, when the control program is started, executing to the computer starting processing for causing a user to select a desired environment name from the different environment names for the different storage forms, and

wherein saving comprises saving the relevant data in the memory in a storage form corresponding to the selected environment name.

5. The control program of claim 1 further comprising, when the control program is started, executing to the computer starting processing for causing a user to select a desired control-object device from the plurality of control-object devices, and

wherein the saving comprises saving the relevant data in the memory in a storage form corresponding to the selected control-object device.

6. The control program of claim 1 wherein the control-object devices comprise video servers.

7. A computer readable storage medium comprising a control program executable in a computer to control a plurality of control-object devices connected to a network, the control program configured to perform following acts:

a setting step for modifying contents of relevant data of the control-object devices or the control program; and

a saving step for saving the relevant data in a memory in different storage forms in association with respective control-object devices,

wherein, the control program is separately started for each of the control-object devices.

8. The computer readable storage medium of claim 7 wherein the control-object devices comprise a video server.

9. A method of controlling a plurality of control-object devices connected to a network, comprising:

a setting step for modifying contents of relevant data of the control-object devices or a control program; and

a saving step for saving the relevant data in a memory in different storage forms in association with respective control-object devices.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the control-object devices comprise video servers.
