Abstract:
1. An information processing method for registering information about a setting operation of application software and a shared resource of an assigned group for completed work, comprising: monitoring a series of graphics processing commands on a computer as the graphics processing commands are triggered by an operation of a user on a graphics interface wherein the monitoring is performed by a graphics interface call hook driver; capturing the series of graphics processing commands to the graphics interface; registering, as information about completed work in a database, information about the series of graphics processing commands concerning a previously completed work out of the captured graphics processing commands according to the graphics interface call hook driver, wherein during the generation of the graphics processing commands the user selects whether or not the information about the series of graphics commands should be registered; registering different setting information for each user that completes a same specified one of the completed work; and registering names of computers used and names of each user for each registered setting regarding the specified one of the completed work; surveying a state of graphics objects in an incomplete work for graphics information present in the incomplete work wherein the surveying is performed by an object surveying section; creating a search key for retrieving previously completed work by using an order of creating sub-windows; retrieving previously completed work performed by a plurality of users containing one or more of the graphics processing commands in the completed work that match graphics information in the incomplete work; buffering operation history data regarding the retrieved work; and displaying on the computer results of the retrieved previously completed work that match graphics information in the incomplete work.
