RELAY APPARATUS, CLIENT APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

A relay apparatus includes a storage, request data reception and transmission units, a mode data reception unit, a specified condition conversion unit, a content identifier reception unit, a generation unit, and a display data transmission unit. The storage stores a service identifier, access destination information, and a conversion routine for the format of a specified condition specifying content, for each of storage services. The request data reception unit receives a service identifier and a specified condition from a client apparatus. The mode data reception unit receives mode data specifying a client apparatus display format. The specified condition conversion unit converts the specified condition into a server format, which is transmitted by the request data transmission unit using access destination information. The content identifier reception unit receives content identifiers from the server, for which the generation unit generates display data. The display data transmission unit transmits it to the client apparatus.

主权项

1. A relay apparatus comprising:
a storage that stores a service identifier, access destination information, and a conversion routine which are associated with each other, for each of a plurality of storage services, the service identifier being an identifier for identifying the storage service, the access destination information indicating information used to access a server which provides the storage service, the conversion routine indicating a rule for converting a format of a specified condition indicating a condition used to specify one or more pieces of content between a format used in the server providing the storage service and a format used in a client apparatus; a request data reception unit that receives a service identifier and a specified condition as request data from the client apparatus; a mode data reception unit that receives mode data for specifying a display format used when the client apparatus displays a search result according to the specified condition received by the request data reception unit; a specified condition conversion unit that converts the specified condition received by the request data reception unit into a format used in the server, in accordance with a conversion routine stored in the storage in such a manner that the conversion routine is associated with the service identifier received by the request data reception unit; a request data transmission unit that transmits the specified condition obtained through the conversion performed by the specified condition conversion unit, as request data in accordance with access destination information stored in the storage in such a manner that the access destination information is associated with the service identifier received by the request data reception unit; a content identifier reception unit that receives a content identifier transmitted from the server as a response to the request data transmitted by the request data transmission unit; a generation unit that generates display data indicating an instruction to display the content identifier received by the content identifier reception unit in the display format specified by the mode data received by the mode data reception unit; and a display data transmission unit that transmits the display data generated by the generation unit, as a response to the request data received by the request data reception unit to the client apparatus.
