Abstract

A display control system for displaying a GUI screen on a terminal of a user, the display control system includes: a setting GUI unit, wherein the setting GUI unit is configured to cause the terminal to display a screen depicting a network configuration including a plurality of selectable clouds, and wherein the setting GUI unit is configured to cause the terminal to display a parameter input screen for a connection between a specific cloud and a resource in a case where the specific cloud and the resource to connect to the specific cloud are selected at the terminal.

Claims (35)

1. A display control system for displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) screen on a terminal of a user, the display control system comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

cause the terminal to display a network configuration including a plurality of selectable clouds on the GUI screen,

cause the terminal to display, on the GUI screen, a connection configuration between a specific cloud and a resource in a case where the specific cloud and the resource to connect to the specific cloud are selected at the terminal, and display a parameter input screen in response to selection of a start point for a cloud connection by the user on the GUI screen, the parameter input screen overlapping the GUI screen and displaying a parameter required to be input by the user thereon to establish the cloud connection to the specific cloud selected by the user from the plurality of selectable clouds, and

automatically determine other parameters that need to be set for the cloud connection to the specific cloud,

wherein the GUI screen is configured to allow the user to select a router or a port as the resource, and

wherein the processor is configured to establish an L2 connection in a case where the user selects the port for both of the start point and an end point for the cloud connection, and establish an L3 connection in a case where the user selects the router for the start point or the end point for the cloud connection.

2. The display control system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to cause the terminal to display, on the GUI screen, an additional function to be selected for the resource, and in a case where a specific additional function is selected at the terminal, the processor is configured to cause the terminal to display the parameter input screen for the specific additional function.

3. The display control system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to transmit a parameter input via the parameter input screen to a control apparatus, the control apparatus being configured to perform setting of at least one network device.

4. The display control system according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to cause the terminal to display a history including a setting status for the at least one network device.

5. The display control system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the terminal to display monitoring information regarding the resource set by the user.

6. The display control system according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to cause the terminal to display the monitoring information in accordance with an instruction by the user via the GUI screen displayed on the terminal.

7. The display control system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the parameter required to be input by the user includes information for connection authorization issued by the specific cloud, and

wherein the other parameters automatically determined include set band frequency of the specific cloud.

8. The display control system according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to cause the terminal to display a port button, a router button, and a connection button on a first side of the GUI screen,

in a case where the port button is selected, a port menu for selecting to purchase, activate, or discontinue a port is displayed on a second side of the GUI screen,

in a case where the router button is selected, a router menu for selecting to purchase, set add-on, and discontinue a router is displayed on the second side of the GUI screen, and

in a case where the connection button is selected, a connection menu for selecting a plurality of connection patterns is displayed on the second side of the GUI screen, the plurality of connection patterns including a router-to-port connection, a port-to-port connection, and the cloud connection.

9. A method for displaying that is performed by a display control system for displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) screen on a terminal of a user, the method for displaying comprising:

causing the terminal to display a network configuration including a plurality of selectable clouds on the GUI screen,

causing, in a case where a specific cloud and a resource to connect to the specific cloud are selected at the terminal, the terminal to display, on the GUI screen, a connection configuration between the specific cloud and the resource, and display a parameter input screen in response to selection of a start point for a cloud connection by the user on the GUI screen, the parameter input screen overlapping the GUI screen and displaying a parameter required to be input by the user thereon to establish the cloud connection to the specific cloud selected by the user from the plurality of selectable clouds, and

automatically determining other parameters that need to be set for the cloud connection to the specific cloud,

wherein the GUI screen is configured to allow the user to select a router or a port as the resource, and

wherein an L2 connection is established in a case where the user selects the port for both of the start point and an end point for the cloud connection, and an L3 connection is established in a case where the user selects the router for the start point or the end point for the cloud connection.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a program embodied therein for causing a computer to:

cause a terminal of a user to display a network configuration including a plurality of selectable clouds on a graphical user interface (GUI) screen,

cause the terminal to display, on the GUI screen, a connection configuration between a specific cloud and a resource in a case where the specific cloud and the resource to connect to the specific cloud are selected at the terminal, and display a parameter input screen in response to selection of a start point for a cloud connection by the user on the GUI screen, the parameter input screen overlapping the GUI screen and displaying a parameter required to be input by the user thereon to establish the cloud connection to the specific cloud selected by the user from the plurality of selectable clouds, and

automatically determine other parameters that need to be set for the cloud connection to the specific cloud,

wherein the GUI screen is configured to allow the user to select a router or a port as the resource, and

wherein an L2 connection is established in a case where the user selects the port for both of the start point and an end point for the cloud connection, and an L3 connection is established in a case where the user selects the router for the start point or the end point for the cloud connection.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the program further causes the computer to

cause the terminal to display monitoring information regarding the resource set by the user.
