Connection management system, and a method for linking connection management server in thin client system

Abstract

An exemplary object of the present invention is to suppress the load on each server and network traffic. To achieve this, a plurality of connection management servers (2) are installed so that any of the connection management servers executes acceptance of a connection request ([Z3]) from a thin client terminal (3). Further, the connection management servers manage the states of clients in order to hold the states of the respective clients, and each of the connection management servers searches a client that can be connected by the thin client terminal according to a connection request from this thin client terminal ([Z4]), and replies with the search result to the thin client terminal ([Z5]), and a range of the connection management servers for executing the search of the client is limited for each connection request from the thin client terminal to the thin client server ([Z2]).

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-178712 filed on Aug. 9, 2010, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a connection management system and a method for linking connection management servers in a thin client system. Background technique [0004] In conventional client-server type systems, PCs with disk devices etc. are used as client terminals, but recently there have been cases where users use multiple PCs or share one PC for various It is becoming more complex, and thus, the cost of managing client terminals is increasing, due in part to the need for more complex software for the client terminals. Furthermore, the presence of a storage device such as a disk device in the client terminal increases the risk of information leakage. [0005] This means that today, in some cases...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the prior art described above, the scale of the system increases, and if the number of clients managed by the connection management server and the number of connected thin client terminals increase, the load on the connection management server becomes high and the service may be interrupted , such as the delay in responding to requests from thin client terminals
