Abstract
Abstract When a request for an operation right is issued to a first application program A (21) of a first terminal (2), the first application program A (21) requests a first application program A (11) of a second terminal (1) for transmission of the operation right and sends an operation right change notification to a second application program B (22) of the first terminal (1) whose operation right is to be interlinked with the first application program A (21). Upon reception of the operation right change notification, the second application program B (22) of the first terminal (2) requests a second application program B (12) of the second terminal (1) based on the operation right change notification.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
An operation right interlinking method for use when a plurality of shared application programs (11, 21 ..., n1, 12, 22 ..., n2) cooperatively operate between a plurality of terminals (1, 2 .... n) to effect a cooperative work, characterized in that each of the plurality of shared application programs (11, 21, ..., n1, 12, 22, ..., n2) has an operation right, and operation right transmission information of a first one (11) of the shared application programs (11, 21 ..., n1, 12, 22 ..., n2) is reported to a second one (12) of the shared application programs (11, 21, ..., n1, 12, 22 ..., n2) to control transmission of the operation right of the second shared application program (12) so that the operation rights of the first application program (11) and the second application program (12) may be interlinked with each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
An operation right interlinking method as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that the second shared application program (12) whose operation right is interlinked with the operation right of the first shared application program (11) can optionally determine whether or not the operation right of the second shared application program (12) should be transmitted in accordance with the operation right transmission information reported from the first shared application program (11) which causes interlinking of the operation rights.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
142 words
An operation right interlinking method as set forth in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the first shared application program (11) which causes interlinking of the operation rights reports an end of the first shared application program (11) to the second shared application program (12) whose operation right is interlinked with the operation right of the first shared application program (11); and the second shared application program (12) which receives the operation right transmission notification transmits, when the first shared application program (11) is operating, the operation right thereof in accordance with the operation right transmission information reported from the first shared application program (11), but allows, when the first shared application program (11) has been ended, transmission of the operation right thereof in accordance with original operation right transmission information from a user of the second shared application program (12).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
122 words
A cooperative working method for shared application programs (11, 21, 12, 22), characterized in that it comprises the steps of: starting, on a plurality of terminals (1, 2) connected to each other via a network (4), a plurality of shared application programs (11, 21, 12, 22) which have individual operation rights having a high-low order relationship set therebetween and operate cooperatively with each other; and interlinking the operation right of a low-order one (12) of the shared application programs (11, 21, 12, 22) with the operation right of a high-order one (11) of the shared application programs (11, 21, 12, 22) in accordance with the operation right interlinking method as claimed in claim 1, 2, or 3 to effect a cooperative work.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
76 words
A cooperative working method for shared application programs (11, 21, 12, 22) as set forth in claim 4, characterized in that the high-low order relationship set between the plurality of shared application programs (11, 21, 12, 22) is reversed to allow bidirectional interlinking of the operation rights of the high- and low-order shared application programs (11, 21, 12, 22) in accordance with the operation right interlinking method as claimed in claim 1 , 2 or 3.
