Abstract

A computer system analyzing apparatus includes an acquiring unit which acquires information indicating at least use states of a plurality of computer resources, and a detecting unit which detects whether each of the use states of the computer resources which are indicated by the information corresponds to a state determined as an unreasonable state in advance.

Claims

1. A computer system analyzing apparatus comprising:

a storage section;

a unit which generates historical information by storing user information and monitor information in the storage section in association with each other every time a user observes a medical image by use of one of monitors that display the medical image, the user information indicating the user observing the medical image, the monitor information indicating one of the monitors that displays the medical images, wherein based on the historical information, a history of use of the monitors by the user is determinable;

a unit which determines one of the monitors, which is being used by the user, as a currently used monitor;

a determining unit which determines a monitor which is ordinarily used by the user by analyzing the historical information stored in the storage section, as an ordinarily used monitor;

a detecting unit which detects, as an unreasonable state, a state in which a resolution of the currently used monitor is lower than a resolution of the ordinarily used monitor; and

an informing unit which informs the user that there is a possibility that processing which is performed by the currently used monitor could not be performed, when the detecting unit detects the unreasonable state.

2. The computer system analyzing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a warning unit which operates when the detecting unit detects the unreasonable state and which warns the user that a display image of the currently used monitor is lower in quality than a display image of the ordinarily used monitor.

3. A computer system analyzing method comprising:

generating historical information by storing user information and monitor information in a storage section in association with each other every time a user observes a medical image by use of one of monitors that display the medical image, the user information indicating the user observing the medical image, the monitor information indicating one of the monitors that display the medical images, wherein based on the historical information, a history of use of the monitors by the user is determinable;

determining one of the monitors, which is being used by the user, as a currently used monitor;

determining a monitor which is ordinarily used by the users by analyzing the historical information stored in the storage section, as an ordinarily used monitor;

detecting, as an unreasonable state, a state in which a resolution of the currently used monitor is lower than a resolution of the ordinarily used monitor; and

informing the user that there is a possibility that processing which is performed by the currently used monitor could not be performed, when the unreasonable state is detected.
