Abstract

In the case where specification of service to be used is received, the specified service is retrieved from a service table, in which services and script files storing a scripts combined in the services are stored with them corresponding with each other, a script file is specified, and use of the specified script file is executed so that use of the service is executed. The use of the script file is specifically transmission, addition or deletion of the script file.

Claims

1. A service executive method for executing use of service composed by combining a plurality of scripts representing a processing sequence with each other, comprising:

receiving a specification of a service to be used;

retrieving the specified service from a service table, which registers types and contents of events and scripts to be executed in a condition table, registers the scripts, services to which the scripts belong, and a script definition mainframe where contents of the scripts are described into a script table, and registers the services and corresponding script files to specify a script file, wherein the script files store the scripts combined in the services; and

executing a use of the specified script file.

2. The service executive method according to claim 1, wherein the use of the script file is one of transmission of the script file, addition of the script file, and deletion of the script file.

3. A service executive apparatus for executing use of service composed by combining a plurality of scripts representing a processing sequence with each other, comprising:

a service table registering types and contents of events and scripts to be executed in a condition table, registering the scripts, services to which the scripts belong, and a script definition mainframe where contents of the scripts are described into a script table, and registering the services and corresponding script files, wherein the script files store the scripts combined in the services;

means for receiving a specification of a service to be used; and

means for retrieving the specified service from the service table when receiving the specification of the service, and specifying a script file to execute a use of the specified script file.

4. The service executive apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the use of the script file is one of transmission of the script file, addition of the script file, and deletion of the script file.

5. A computer readable storage controlling a computer to execute a use of service comprising a combination of a plurality of scripts representing a processing sequence and comprising a process of

registering types and contents of events and scripts to be executed in a condition table;

registering the scripts, services to which the scripts belong, and a script definition mainframe where contents of the scripts are described into a script table;

receiving a specification of a service to be used; and

using a script file corresponding to the specified service.

6. The computer memory product according to claim 5, wherein the use of the script file is one of transmission of the script file, addition of the script file, and deletion of the script file.

7. A client of a chat system, said chat system having a server and a plurality of clients in which the server transmits a statement received from a client to another client and controlling a process according to a script representing a processing sequence or a service comprising a combination of a plurality of scripts, said client comprising:

a service table registering types and contents of events and scripts to be executed in a condition table, registering the scripts, services to which the scripts belong, and a script definition mainframe where contents of the scripts are described into a script table, and registering the services and corresponding script files, wherein the script files store the scripts combined in the services;

means for receiving a specification of a service to be used; and

means for retrieving the specified service from the service table when receiving the specification of the service, and specifying a script file to execute a use of the specified script file.

8. The client of the chat system according to claim 7, wherein the use of the script file is one of transmission of the script file, addition of the script file, and deletion of the script file.

9. A service executive apparatus executing use of service composed by combining scripts representing a processing sequence with each other, comprising:

a service table registering types and contents of events and the scripts to be executed in a condition table, registering the scripts, services to which the scripts belong, and a script definition mainframe where contents of the scripts are described into a script table, and registering the services and corresponding script files, wherein the script files store the scripts combined in the services;

a receiving unit receiving a specification of a service to be used; and

a retrieving unit retrieving the specified service from the service table when receiving the specification of the service, and specifying a script file to execute a use of the specified script file.

10. The service executive apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the use of the script file is one of transmission of the script file, addition of the script file, and deletion of the script file.

11. A client of a chat system, said chat system having a server and a plurality of clients in which the server transmits a statement received from a client to another client and controlling a process according to a script representing a processing sequence or a service comprising a combination of scripts, said client comprising:

a service table registering types and contents of events and the scripts to be executed in a condition table, registering the scripts, services to which the scripts belong, and a script definition mainframe where contents of the scripts are described into a script table, and registering the services and corresponding script files, wherein the script files store the scripts combined in the services;

a receiving unit receiving a specification of a service to be used; and

a retrieving unit retrieving the specified service from the service table when receiving the specification of the service, and specifying a script file to execute a use of the specified script file.

12. The client of the chat system according to claim 11, wherein the use of the script file is one of transmission of the script file, addition of the script file, and deletion of the script file.
