The host computer 102 is a device for managing the schedule, and has a CPU 103 and a memory 107.
And an external storage device 104 having an area 105 for storing a schedule and a temporary storage area 106 for displaying a temporarily registered schedule in real time, and a file control unit 108 for controlling the external storage device 104. .. The workstation 109 and the host computer 102 are connected by the network 101, and data is transmitted between both devices.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing when temporary registration is performed for a schedule registered by another person using the present invention. First, a temporary registration schedule is input from an input device such as the keyboard 114 or the mouse 115 of the workstation shown in FIG. 1 (step 2
01).

The owner of the schedule, the scheduled date and the time zone are designated to request the temporary registration of the additional schedule, and the workstation 109 starts the process of accepting the request (step 20).
2).

The workstation 109 sends this temporary registration request via the network 101 to the host computer 102.
Send to. The host computer 102 reads the schedule into the memory 107 from the schedule storage area 105 on the external storage device 104 in which the specified schedule is stored, and determines whether the schedule can be temporarily registered. The criteria to be judged are whether or not the user has the authority to temporarily register, whether or not there is another appointment in the designated date and time zone (step 203).

If a schedule to be added to the schedule can be temporarily registered, the schedule to be temporarily registered is registered in the schedule read in the memory 107. At that time, the temporary registration flag 501 shown in FIG. 5 is set to the registered schedule in order to distinguish between the schedule registered by the owner of the schedule and the schedule temporarily registered by another person. The schedule shown in FIG. 5 is composed of a plurality of schedules, and each schedule is composed of a scheduled action such as a time zone, a destination, and a requirement, and a temporary registration flag 501. When the temporary registration flag is set, it means that the temporary registration is scheduled, and when it is not set, it means that it is the registered schedule (step 2).
04).

The host computer 102 stores the temporarily registered schedule in the schedule storage area 105 and the real-time display temporary storage area 106 of the external storage device 104 (step 205), and displays a message indicating "normal registration completed normally". Send to workstation 109. The workstation 109 displays a message on the display 113 to notify the temporary registrant (step 206).

If provisional registration is not possible for the schedule,
The host computer 102 sends an error message to the effect that "temporary registration is not possible" to the workstation 109 (step 207), and the workstation 109 displays it on the display 113 to notify the temporary registrant (step 20).
6).

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing a flow when a temporarily registered person, that is, the owner of the schedule, displays the schedule on-demand on the temporarily registered schedule. First, the workstation 109 reads a schedule from the schedule storage area 105 of the external storage device 104 into the memory 111 via the host computer 102 and the network 101 (step 30).
1).

The workstation 109 determines from the temporary registration flag 501 whether or not there is a temporarily registered schedule in the schedule. (Step 302).

When there is a temporarily registered schedule in the schedule, the workstation 109 clearly indicates that the temporarily registered schedule is the temporarily registered schedule by changing the color, blinking, or the like, and displays it on the display 113. Display (step 303).

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing for displaying the temporarily registered schedule on the display 113 of the workstation 109 used by the temporarily registered person in real time. First, the workstation 109 refers to the real-time display temporary storage area 106 of the external storage device 104 at regular time intervals (step 4).
01).

The workstation 109 confirms whether or not there is a schedule temporarily registered in the real-time display temporary storage area 106 based on the information about the temporary registration sent from the host computer 102 (step 40).
2). If there is a temporarily registered schedule in the real-time display temporary storage area 106, the workstation 1
09 reads the temporarily registered schedule into the memory 111,
It is displayed on the display 113 (step 403).

When the provisionally registered person approves the provisionally registered schedule, the setting of the provisional registration flag 501 of the corresponding schedule is changed to OFF, and the workstation 109 requests the host computer 102 to re-register. Issue. Upon receiving this request, the host computer 102 re-registers the schedule in the schedule storage area 105 on the external storage device 104 based on this request. As a result, the temporarily registered schedule becomes main registration.

When the person who is temporarily registered cancels the temporarily registered schedule, the registered schedule is deleted, the temporary registration flag 501 is turned off, and the workstation 109 re-registers it in the host computer 102. Issue the request. The host computer 102 receiving this request, based on the request, stores the schedule storage area 1 in the external storage device 104.
Re-register the schedule in 05. The temporary registration person can know the status of the temporarily registered schedule, that is, the status of whether the temporarily registered schedule is the main registration or canceled by inquiring from the workstation 109 to the host computer 102 via the network 101. it can.
