In the attendance determination condition field, a value indicating what percentage of attendees are present when this schedule is determined as the final decision is input. In the weather judgment condition column, when the weather is not sunny (hereinafter referred to as rainy weather), the implementation location is not too far based on the “movement distance value” that is a value related to the movement distance of the participant. Determine whether. A value serving as a reference value at that time is stored.

  When the registration button is selected, the information input on the new schedule input screen 901 is transmitted to the server 20 as “desired information”. When the cancel button is selected, the input information is discarded and information is not transmitted to the server 20.

  Next, the registration confirmation screen 902 will be described with reference to FIG. In the registration confirmation screen shown in FIG. 16, when there is a participant whose moving distance value is equal to or greater than a reference value, information indicating that is transmitted from the server 20 to the user terminal 10 of the user who has started the schedule. And displayed on the display 14.

  As shown in FIG. 16, on the registration confirmation screen 902, the conference name, date and time, the venue, and the name of the participant are displayed as the contents of the schedule, and further, “the moving distance value is equal to or greater than the reference value”. A message is displayed, and a “Register this schedule” button and an “Enter new schedule” button are provided. When the “Register this schedule” button is selected, information to that effect is transmitted to the server 20, and the server 20 stores the schedule under consideration in the personal schedule DB storage area 284 for each participant. . When the “input new schedule” button is selected, information to that effect is transmitted to the server 20, the schedule under consideration is discarded, and a new schedule input screen 901 is displayed. In addition, the registration confirmation screen 902 displays the names and movement distance values of participants who have exceeded the reference value, and the drafter determines whether to “register this schedule” or “enter a new schedule”. Can be a material.

  Next, the attendance confirmation screen 903 will be described with reference to FIG. This attendance confirmation screen 903 is a screen for inquiring each participant whether or not he / she can participate when a meeting is held according to this schedule after the implementation date and place and schedule of the schedule are determined. As shown in FIG. 17, the attendance confirmation screen 903 displays the name of the meeting, the date and time, the venue, and the participants as the contents of the schedule. An “attendance” button and an “absence” button are displayed. When the “attendance” button is selected, information indicating that fact and the user is transmitted to the server 20. When the “absence” button is selected, information indicating that fact and the user is transmitted to the server 20.

  Next, the outdoor cancellation screen 904 will be described with reference to FIG. This outdoor cancellation screen 904 is a screen for notifying the drafter of the fact when the place of implementation is outdoors and the weather at the date of implementation is not sunny. As shown in FIG. 18, the outdoor cancellation screen 904 displays the name of the meeting, the date, the venue, and the participants as the contents of the schedule. A “confirm” button is provided. When the “Confirm” button is selected, the outdoor cancellation screen 904 is closed.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 19 to 29, a schedule adjustment process performed by the CPU 21 server program of the server 20 will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the main process, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the date / time place designation process performed in the main process, and FIG. 21 is a place examination performed in the desired date / time process and the date information undesignated place designation process. 22 is a flowchart of the process, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the date and time unspecified place designation process performed in the main process, and FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the sunny date and time examination process performed in the date and time unspecified place designation process. FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the date / time designation location undesignated process. 25 to 27 are flowcharts of the date / time location unspecified process, FIG. 26 is a continuation of the flowchart of FIG. 25, and FIG. 27 is a continuation of the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the attendance confirmation process, and FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the execution determination process.

  First, the main process will be described with reference to FIG. This main process is a process that is started when the user terminal 10 receives an input on the new schedule input screen 901 and receives the desired information, which is the information input there. Here, depending on the content of the desired information, if both “date and time and location are specified”, “only the location is specified”, “only the date and time are specified”, “date and time are also specified” The four cases of “the location is not uniquely specified” are performed, and processing corresponding to each case is performed. Here, the drafter's user terminal 10 on which the new schedule input screen 901 has been input is referred to as the user terminal 11.

  Therefore, first, the received desired information is stored in the desired information storage area 234 (S1). Here, when the date and time is not designated as the desired date and time, the business time of one week after today is set as the desired date and time. For example, if today is September 1 (Friday), 9:00 to 18:00 from September 4 (Monday) to September 8 (Friday) is set as the desired date and time. Then, a unique date is designated as the desired date, and a determination is made as to whether the date has been determined (S2). In the new schedule input screen 901 (see FIG. 15), when the “designated by date” radio button is selected in the desired date / time input field and a unique date / time is designated, it is determined that the date / time has been determined (S2). : YES). Then, a unique place is designated, and it is determined whether or not the place has been determined (S4). If a room or space is selected in the desired place input field on the new schedule input screen 901, it is determined that the place has been determined (S4: YES). Since this is the case where “date and time and location are both specified”, date and time location specification processing is performed (S8, see FIG. 20). In addition, when the date and time is determined (S2: YES), but the location is not determined (S4: NO), it corresponds to the case where “only the date and time are specified”, so the date and time specified location unspecified processing (S5, refer to FIG. 24). In addition, when the date and time are not determined (S2: NO) and the location is determined (S3: YES), this corresponds to the case where “only the location is specified”, so the date and time not specified location designation processing (S6, see FIG. 22) is performed. If the date and time have not been determined (S2: NO), and the location has not been determined (S3: NO), date / time location unspecified processing is performed (S7, see FIG. 25).

  Therefore, the date / time location designation process (S8, see FIG. 20), the date / time designation place undesignated process (S5, see FIG. 24), the date / time undesignated place designation process (S6, see FIG. 22), and the date / time place undesignated process are performed ( Each case will be described in the order of S7 and FIG.

  First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 20, the date / time location designation process that is performed when “the date / time and location are both designated only” will be described. Here, “desired date and time” and “desired place” included in the desired information are a designated date and time and a room (space). For example, 1 hour from 10:00 to 11:00 on September 25, 2006 is set as “desired date and time”, and the room “1st floor reception meeting room” of the building “development center” is designated as “desired place”. It is assumed that

  First, the desired date / time is stored as “execution date / time” in the execution date / time storage area 231 and the desired location is stored as “execution location” in the execution location storage area 232 (S11). Then, the schedule of each participant's implementation date (September 25, 2006, 10:00 to 11:00) is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284, and is the schedule of all participants free at the implementation date? A determination of whether or not is made (S12). If the schedule of all the members is vacant (S12: YES), whether or not the implementation place (room “development center” room “first floor reception meeting room”) is vacant is determined in the holding place reservation status storage area 285. It is determined with reference to (S13). If the schedule for all members is not available (S12: NO), or if the desired place has already been reserved according to another schedule (S13: NO), the user's terminal 11 of the drafter will indicate “desired date / time or place. Then, information for displaying a message screen indicating that “the schedule cannot be established” is transmitted (S15). Then, the date / time place designation process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  In addition, when the execution place is vacant (S13: YES), the place examination process is performed (S14, see FIG. 21). As shown in FIG. 21, in this place examination process, the weather forecast of the implementation date and time is referred to. When it is rainy weather, the implementation location is outdoors or the moving distance value is larger than the reference value. Treatment is performed. First, the weather forecast for the implementation date is acquired from the weather forecast DB storage area 283 (S201). And it is judged whether it is rainy weather (S202). If it is not rainy weather (S202: NO), an attendance confirmation process is performed (S209, see FIG. 28), an execution determination process is performed (S210, see FIG. 29), the place examination process ends, and the date and time location designation Returning to the process, the date and time location specifying process is also terminated, the process returns to the main process, and the main process is also terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is rainy weather (S202: YES), it is determined whether or not the place of implementation is “outdoor” (S203). If the location DB storage area 282 is referred to and the execution location is determined to be “outdoor” (S203: YES), the drafter's user terminal 11 will be notified that “the weather forecast is not a weather related to sunny at the desired date and time”. The information for displaying the outdoor cancellation screen 904 (see FIG. 18) is transmitted (S211). Then, the place examination process ends, and the process returns to the date / time place designation process, but the date / time place designation process also ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If the execution location is not “outdoor” (S203: NO), the previous location is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284 and stored in the previous location storage area 236 for each participant, and the execution location from the previous location is stored. The travel distance value up to is read from the travel distance value information storage area 286 and stored in the travel distance value information storage area 237 at the time of date designation (S204). For example, in the case of a participant who is in “Headquarters” immediately before, since the implementation location is “Development Center”, the moving distance value between “Headquarters (H)” and “Development Center (K)” is “1”. . Then, it is determined whether or not there is a participant whose moving distance value is larger than the reference value (S205). If there is no participant larger than the reference value (S205: NO), even if it is rainy weather, there is no problem in the moving distance, so attendance confirmation processing is performed (S209, see FIG. 28), and the execution determination processing is performed. When this is done (see S210, FIG. 29), the place review process ends and the process returns to the date / time place designation process.

  However, when there is a participant whose moving distance value is larger than the reference value (S205: YES), there is a problem that the moving distance is long when it is rainy weather. Therefore, a message screen indicating that “there is a participant who does not satisfy the reference value at the desired location” and information for displaying a registration confirmation screen 902 shown in FIG. 16 are transmitted to the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S206). And the inquiry response reception process which receives the response from the user terminal 11 is performed (S207). In the user terminal 11, when the registration confirmation screen 902 is displayed, either “Register this schedule” or “Enter new schedule” is selected by the drafter. Then, information indicating the selected result is transmitted to the server 20. Therefore, if the received result is an instruction “register this schedule” (S208: YES), attendance confirmation processing is performed (S209, see FIG. 28), and execution determination processing is performed (S210, FIG. 29). The location review process ends, and the process returns to the main process. If the received result is an instruction of “input new schedule” (S208: NO), the place examination process ends and returns to the date / time place designation process, but the date / time place designation process also ends, and the main process The main process is also terminated. When “input new schedule” is selected on the registration confirmation screen 902, a new schedule input screen 901 is displayed in the terminal program of the user terminal 10.

  Here, the attendance confirmation process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 28, a screen for requesting an attendance response, and information for displaying an attendance confirmation screen 903 shown in FIG. (S251). Then, attendance response reception processing from the user terminal 10 of each participant is performed (S252). Here, error processing is performed when there is a participant who does not respond even after a predetermined period (for example, two days) has passed. For example, a message screen is displayed on the user terminal 11 of the drafter, an e-mail that prompts a response is transmitted to the participant (the e-mail address is stored in the person DB storage area 281), or no response is made. Or treat participants as absent.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the essential participant is responding “attendance” (S253). If no “attendance” response has been made (S253: NO), “0” is stored in the attendance determination flag (S256), and the attendance confirmation processing is terminated. If the essential participant has responded “Attendance” (S253: YES), the attendance rate is calculated based on the response result, and it is determined whether the attendance rate is equal to or higher than the reference value (S254). ). This reference value is a value input in the attendance determination process on the new schedule input screen 901. If no value is entered in this field, a predetermined value, for example, 80% is used as the reference value. If it is not greater than or equal to the reference value (S254: NO), “0” is stored in the attendance determination flag (S256), and the attendance confirmation processing is terminated. If the attendance rate is equal to or higher than the reference value (S254: YES), “1” is stored in the attendance determination flag (S255), and the attendance confirmation process ends.

  Next, the execution determination process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 29, first, it is determined whether or not the attendance determination flag whose value is stored in the attendance confirmation processing is “1” (S271). If the attendance determination flag is “1” (S271: YES), since this schedule may be registered, information on the screen for notifying the determination of the schedule is transmitted to the user terminal 10 of the participant (S272). Then, the name and execution location of this schedule are registered in the storage area of the execution date and time of the participants in the personal schedule DB storage area 284 (S273).

  If the attendance determination flag is not “1” (S271: NO), this schedule cannot be registered, and a screen for inquiring whether or not to cancel this schedule is displayed on the drafter's user terminal 11. Information is transmitted (S274). Then, a response reception process for the inquiry is performed (S275). On the inquiry screen (not shown), the contents of the schedule, attendance response results, and attendance rate are displayed, and a “cancel” button and a “check again” button are provided. Therefore, the drafter selects, based on the displayed information, whether to “cancel” the schedule or “request attendees to attend again”. Therefore, when information indicating that the “Cancel” button has been selected is received in the response reception process (S276: YES), the schedule is sent to the user terminal 10 of the participant and the user terminal 11 of the drafter. Information for displaying the contents and a screen indicating that the schedule has been canceled is transmitted (S277), and the execution determination process ends. If information indicating that the “Attendance Confirmation” button has been selected is received instead of information indicating that the “Cancel” button has been selected (S276: NO), attendance confirmation processing is performed. (S278), the process returns to S271.

  As described above, if “date and time and place are specified only”, the desired date and time is the implementation date and the desired location is the implementation location, and all participants are free on the implementation date and time. When the reservation is also available, the weather forecast of the implementation date is referred. And if it is rainy weather, the movement distance value from the last place to the implementation place is calculated for each participant, and if the calculated movement distance value is not larger than the reference value, it is registered in the user terminal 11 of the drafter A confirmation screen 902 is displayed to prompt the user to determine whether or not to register this schedule.

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts of FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, the date / time undesignated place process executed when “only the place is designated” will be described. Here, the “desired place” is uniquely specified, and the “desired date” is not uniquely specified. For example, 1 hour from 10:00 on September 4, 2006, 1 hour from 14:00 on September 4, 2006, and 1 hour from 16:00 on September 4, 2006 are set as “desired date and time”. It is assumed that the room “1st floor reception meeting room” of the building “development center” is designated as “desired place”.

  First, the desired place is stored in the implementation place storage area 232 as “implementation place” (S21). Then, the reservation status of the implementation place at the desired date and time is read from the holding place reservation status storage area 285, and the date and time when no reservation is made at the implementation place is set as the “participation possible date and time”. It is stored in the column (S22). Then, it is determined whether or not there is an available date and time (S23). The date / time is stored in the participation possible date / time field of the participation possible date / time storage area 235, and if there is an participation possible date / time (S23: YES), the process proceeds to S24. If it is not stored and there is no date and time when participation is possible (S23: NO), information is sent to the drafter's user terminal 11 to display a message screen indicating that the participant's convenience is not at the desired date and time. (S46). Then, the date / time non-designation process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If there is an available date (S23: YES), it is determined whether there is only one available date (S24). When there is only one participation date / time (S24: YES), the date / time is stored as the “execution date / time” in the execution date / time storage area 231 (S47), and the execution location and the execution date / time are uniquely determined. Therefore, the place review process is performed (S48, see FIG. 21), the date / time unspecified process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends. Note that the location review process is the same as the content implemented in S14 of the date / time location designation process in the case where “both date / time and location are uniquely specified”, and is therefore omitted from the description.

  On the other hand, if there is not only one possible date / time (S24: NO), the weather forecast of the possible date / time is acquired from the weather prevention DB storage area 283 and stored in the weather column of the possible date / time storage area 235. (S25). In the example shown in FIG. 7, it is “rainy” on September 4th from 6:00 to 12:00, and “cloudy and sunny” from 12:00 to 18:00. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Possible date “September 4, 2006, 10:00 to 11:00” is “Rain”, “September 4, 2006, 14: 00-5: 00” is “Sunny and cloudy”, “September 2006 “Monday 4th 16: 00-17: 00” is considered “cloudy and sunny”. In the following, the weather related to sunny will be referred to as “sunny weather”, the date and time that is considered “sunny weather” will be referred to as “sunny date”, and the weather related to rain, snow, hail, sleet, and fog will be referred to as “rainy weather”. The date and time “rainy weather” is referred to as “rainy weather date and time”. In the example shown in FIG. 11, 10:00 to 11:00 on September 4, 2006 is “rainy weather date and time”, and it is 14:00 to 5:00 on September 4, 2006. On the 4th, 16:00 to 17:00 is regarded as a “clear day”.

  Then, a determination is made as to whether or not there is a clear date / time in the available date / time (S26). If the sunny weather is not stored in the weather column of the participation possible date / time storage area 235 and there is no sunny date / time (S26: NO), the movement distance calculation value is calculated for each participation date and time, and the movement distance calculation value storage in the RAM 23 is stored. It is stored in the area 241 (S27). Specifically, first, for each participant, the immediately preceding location is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284 for each possible participation date and time and stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236. Then, the movement distance value from the immediately preceding place to the implementation place is read from the movement distance value information storage area 286 and stored in the movement distance value information storage area 238 when the date and time are not specified for each possible participation date. Then, at each possible participation date and time, the movement distance value having the smallest movement distance value is stored in the movement distance calculation value storage area 241 as the movement distance calculation value.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the place of implementation is outdoors (S28). If it is outdoors (S28: YES), information is sent to the drafter's user terminal 11 to display a message screen indicating that the weather forecast is not a sunny weather at the desired location (outdoor) at the desired date and time. (S41). On this message screen, a “Register this schedule” button and a “Enter new schedule” button are provided, and a weather forecast of the date and time when participation is possible is also displayed. Therefore, the drafter may select the “Register this schedule” button to register this schedule even when the weather is not fine. The case where the user wants to register the schedule even when the weather is not fine is, for example, when the weather forecast is “cloudy” or when the user wants to register the schedule for any weather. And the reception process of the response information which shows the selection result transmitted from the drafter's user terminal 11 is performed (S42). If the response information indicates “register this schedule” (S43: YES), the process proceeds to S29, and one date / time from the participation possible date / time is set as the implementation date / time (S29 to S33). Is performed (S34, see FIG. 28), execution determination processing is performed (S35, see FIG. 29), the date / time undesignated location designation process is terminated, the process returns to the main process, and the main process is also terminated. If the response information does not indicate “register this schedule” (S43: NO), the date / time undesignated location designation processing ends, the processing returns to the main processing, and the main processing also ends.

  If the location is not outdoors (S28: NO), the process proceeds to S29 as it is. In S29, the travel distance calculation value calculated in S27 and stored in the travel distance calculation value storage area 241 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not only the date and time of the travel distance calculation value that is larger than the reference value exists (S29). S29). When there is only the date / time of the travel distance calculation value larger than the reference value (S29: YES), the drafter's user terminal 11 is informed at the desired date / time that the weather forecast is not the weather related to the sunny weather at the desired location. Information for displaying a message screen indicating that “there is a participant with a long distance” is transmitted (S30). This message screen is provided with a “Register this schedule” button and a “Enter new schedule” button, and a weather forecast for the possible date and time of participation and the distance traveled by the participant are also displayed. Therefore, the drafter may select the “Register this schedule” button when he / she wants to register this schedule even if there is a participant who has a long travel distance, not in fine weather. And the reception process of the response information which shows the selection result transmitted from the drafter's user terminal 11 is performed (S31).

  If the response information indicates “register this schedule” (S32: YES), the process proceeds to S33, and the smallest value among the calculated travel distances stored in the travel distance calculated value storage area 241 is displayed. The participation possible date and time is stored in the implementation date storage area 231 as “implementation date and time” (S33). An attendance confirmation process is performed (S34, see FIG. 28), an execution determination process is performed (S35, see FIG. 29), the date / time unspecified location designation process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends. To do. If the response information does not indicate “register this schedule” (S32: NO), the date / time undesignated location designation process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  In S29, if there is a date and time of the travel distance calculation value equal to or less than the reference value (S29: NO), the process proceeds to S33 as it is and the travel distance calculation value stored in the travel distance calculation value storage area 241 is stored. Among these, the participation possible date and time which is the minimum value is stored in the implementation date storage area 231 as “implementation date and time” (S33). An attendance confirmation process is performed (S34, see FIG. 28), an execution determination process is performed (S35, see FIG. 29), the date / time unspecified location designation process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends. To do. If the “Enter new schedule” button is selected instead of the “Register this schedule” button, the date / time undesignated location designation process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  Next, a description will be given of the case where it is determined in S26 that there is a clear date / time in the possible participation date / time (S26: YES). Here, a clear date and time examination process is performed (S49, see FIG. 23). As shown in FIG. 23, first, the earliest date / time among the sunny dates / times available for participation is set as “execution date / time” (S221). Specifically, the earliest date / time is stored in the implementation date / time storage area 231 as the “execution date / time” among the dates / times in which the weather column of the possible participation date / time storage area 235 is fine weather. At this stage, since the “execution place” and “execution date and time” are determined, attendance confirmation processing is performed (S222, see FIG. 28). Since this attendance confirmation process has been described above, the description is omitted here.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the attendance determination flag set in the attendance confirmation process is “1” (S223). If the attendance determination flag is “1” (S223: YES), the required participant has responded with “attendance” and the attendance rate is equal to or higher than the reference value. Is transmitted to the participant's user terminal 10 (S224). Then, the name and execution location of this schedule are registered in the storage area of the execution date and time of the participants in the personal schedule DB storage area 284 (S225). Then, the clear date and time examination process ends, the date and time unspecified place designation process also ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If the attendance determination flag is not “1” (S223: NO), this schedule cannot be registered. Therefore, the attendance confirmation process is performed again with another participation possible date / time as the implementation date / time. Ask. Therefore, a value (for example, “1”) meaning “x” is stored in the impossibility check column of the implementation date / time of the participation date / time storage area 235 (S226). Then, a determination is made as to whether or not there is a clear date and time at a date and time when “x” is not stored in the impossible check column of the possible date and time storage area 235 (S227). If there is a clear date and time (S227: YES), the earliest date is set as the “execution date and time” (S228). And it returns to S222 and an attendance confirmation process is performed (S222). When the attendance confirmation process is completed and the attendance determination flag is set to “1” (S223: YES), a schedule decision is notified (S224), and the schedule is stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 284 (S225). ) The clear date and time examination process ends, the date and time unspecified place designation process also ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  Further, when the attendance determination flag is not “1” (S223: NO), when there is no clear date and time when “x” is not stored in the impossibility check column of the participation possible date and time storage area 235 ( S227: NO), it is determined whether or not there is a cloudy date (S229). If there is a cloudy date and time (S229: YES), the earliest date and time is set as the “implementation date and time” (S230). And it returns to S222 and an attendance confirmation process is performed (S222). When the attendance confirmation process is completed and the attendance determination flag is set to “1” (S223: YES), a schedule decision is notified (S224), and the schedule is stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 284 (S225). ) The clear date and time examination process ends, the date and time unspecified place designation process also ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  Further, when the attendance determination flag is not “1” (S223: NO), the clear date and the cloudy date and time at the date and time when “x” is not stored in the impossible check column of the participation possible date and time storage area 235 are displayed. If not (S227: NO, S229: NO), all “x” s are stored in the impossible check column, and it is determined whether all feasible dates and times have been considered (S231). If all the feasible dates and times have not been examined (S231: NO), there are days and days of rainy weather that have not been examined yet, although the attendance status was bad on sunny days and cloudy dates. Therefore, the earliest date / time when “x” is not stored is set as “execution date / time” (S232). And it returns to S222 and an attendance confirmation process is performed (S222). When the attendance confirmation process is completed and the attendance determination flag is set to “1” (S223: YES), a schedule decision is notified (S224), and the schedule is stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 284 (S225). ) The clear date and time examination process ends, the date and time unspecified place designation process also ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If “x” is stored for all the implementation dates and times (S231: YES), it means that the implementation will not be fulfilled at any of the possible participation dates and times, so a message screen informing that the new schedule will be canceled is displayed. Information to be displayed is transmitted to the user terminal 10 of the participant and the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S233), the clear date and time examination process ends, the date and time unspecified place designation process also ends, and the process returns to the main process. The main process is also terminated.

  In this way, when there are a plurality of possible dates and times and there are sunny dates and times, the date and time of execution are given priority over the sunny dates and times. In addition, when there are a plurality of sunny dates and times, the date and time of implementation is determined from the earlier date and time.

  As described above, when “only a place is specified”, the date and time when the desired place is vacant is set as “execution date and time”, and the date and time when all participants' schedules are vacant among the desired date and time. It is determined as “participation possible date and time”, and from the participation possible date and time, which date and time is set as the implementation date and time is determined. If the participation possible date / time is the only date / time, the location review process is performed in the same manner as in the case where “the date / time and location are both specified”. In addition, when there are multiple possible dates and times, the weather forecast is referred to. When there are sunny days, the sunny date and time are prioritized as "implemented date and time". The date and time of the minimum value of the calculated value is set as “implementation date and time”. In addition, when the travel distance calculation value has only a date and time larger than the reference value, or when the implementation location is outdoors, it is not sunny weather, and the drafter is inquired.

  Next, a description will be given of the date / time designation location undesignated processing performed in the case of the flowcharts of FIGS. 24 and 27 “only the date / time is designated”. Here, “desired date / time” is uniquely designated, and “desired place” is not uniquely designated. For example, it is assumed that “desired date” is 1 hour from 16:00 on September 4, 2006, and “desired place” is not specified at all.

  First, the “desired date” is stored in the implementation date storage area 231 as “implementation date” (S61). Then, the personal schedule DB storage area 284 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the schedule for all participants at the implementation date is available (S62). When the schedules of all the members are not available (S62: NO), information for displaying a message screen indicating that “the schedule cannot be established at the desired date and time” is transmitted to the drafter's user terminal 11 (S74). ). Then, the date / time designation location undesignated process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If the schedule for all members is available (S62: YES), the weather forecast for the implementation date and time is acquired from the weather forecast DB storage area 283 (S63). Then, it is determined whether or not the weather forecast for the implementation date is rainy weather (S64). If it is not rainy weather (S64: NO), it is not necessary to consider the moving distance, so the processes of S65 to S73 are performed. Specifically, first, the location of the participant immediately before the implementation date is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284 and stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236 (S65). The immediately preceding location is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284 and stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236 (S66). In addition, when a plurality of buildings become the same number and become the largest, a candidate building is determined based on a predetermined rule. For example, if there is a building with mandatory participants, that building is used, or if the drafter is a participant, if there is a building with a drafter, that building, or in the participant input field of the new schedule input means Or the building with the participant entered earlier.

  Then, the “room” of the candidate building is searched from the holding place reservation status storage area 285 (S67). If there is a vacant room (S68: YES), the vacant room is stored in the implementation location storage area 232 as an “execution location” (S75), and attendance confirmation processing is performed (S76, see FIG. 28). The determination process is performed (S77, see FIG. 29), the date and time designation location undesignated process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If there is no vacant room (S68: NO), it is determined whether or not all buildings stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236 have been examined (S71). Whether or not the storage area to be marked is provided in the RAM 23 corresponding to the building stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236, and whether or not all buildings are marked with “x”. Thus, it is determined whether or not all buildings have been examined. Although not shown, the marking indicating “x” is performed after it is determined in S68 that there is no empty room. If all the buildings have not been examined (S71: NO), the building with the most participants in the previous building is set as a “candidate building” (S73), and the process returns to S67. Then, “rooms” that are not scheduled are searched for among the “rooms” of the candidate building (S67). Then, the processes of S67 to S73 are repeatedly performed until a vacant room is found, and when all the buildings stored in the immediately preceding place storage area 236 are examined (S71: YES), the “desired date and time” is displayed on the drafter's user terminal 11. Then, information for displaying a message screen indicating that the location could not be secured is transmitted (S72). Then, the date / time designation location undesignated process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  In this way, if the weather on the desired date and time is not rainy, a room that is vacant on the desired date and time among the buildings where the participant is located immediately before is set as the “implementation place”.

  In S64, when it is determined that the implementation date / time is rainy weather (S64: YES), the process proceeds to S122 in FIG. Here, first, the location of the participant immediately before the implementation date is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284 and stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236 (S122). Then, for each participant, the movement distance value from the previous place to all the places stored in the place DB storage area 282 is read from the movement distance value information storage area 286, and the movement distance value when no place is specified. It is stored in the information storage area 239 (S123). Then, the movement distance value of each participant is summed for each place and stored in the movement distance calculation value storage area 241 (S124), and the building having the smallest movement distance calculation value is set as the “candidate building” as a candidate building storage area. 240 (S125). Then, it is determined whether or not the moving distance values of all the participants of the “candidate building” stored in the moving distance value information storage area 239 when the place is not specified are larger than the reference value (S126). If the moving distance value of all participants is larger than the reference value (S126: YES), the moving distance of the participant becomes longer at this implementation date and time, and the process proceeds to S133.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the desired date and time is only the date and time when the “execution date and time” is set (S133). Here, this processing is performed following the date / time designation location unspecified processing, and the desired date / time is the only date / time (here, 1 hour from 16:00 on September 4, 2006 as an example). (S133: YES). Therefore, information for displaying a message screen to the effector's user terminal 11 is displayed to the effector's user terminal 11 stating that it is rainy weather at the desired date and time, and that the participant's travel distance will be shorter at that date and time. (S136). Then, the date / time designation location undesignated process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If the moving distance value of all the participants is not larger than the reference value (S126: NO), the holding place reservation status storage area 285 is referred to search for a room that has not been reserved among the candidate buildings ( S127). If there is a vacant room that has not been reserved (S128: YES), one of the vacant rooms is set as the “implementation place” (S137). If there is one vacant room, that room is set as the place of implementation, but if there are a plurality of rooms, a vacant room as the place of implementation is determined according to a predetermined rule. For example, the priority order may be stored in the place DB storage area 282, the room in the order stored in the place DB storage area 282, or the room searched first in S127 may be used. Since the execution date and time and the execution location are determined here, an attendance confirmation process is performed (S138, see FIG. 28), an execution determination process is performed (S139, see FIG. 29), and the date / time designation place unspecified process ends. Then, the process returns to the main process, and the main process is also terminated.

  If there is no vacant room (S128: NO), it is determined whether or not all buildings have been examined (S131). In this determination, a storage area for marking is provided in the RAM 23 for all buildings, and when it is determined that there is no vacant room (S128: NO), the “candidate building” at that time is “ A value meaning “x” may be stored and marked. If all the buildings have not been considered (S131: NO), the next building with the smallest moving distance calculation value, that is, the building with the smallest moving distance calculation value among the buildings not marked with “x”. Is a “candidate building” (S132). Then, the process returns to S126, and it is determined whether or not the movement distance value of all the participants is greater than the reference value for this “candidate building” (S126). If the moving distance value of all the participants is not greater than the reference value (S126: NO), a room that has not been reserved among the candidate buildings is searched (S127).

  In this way, the processes of S126 to S132 are repeatedly performed, and if a vacant room is found (S128: YES), one of the vacant rooms is set as an “execution place” (S137), and an attendance confirmation process is performed. Is performed (S138, see FIG. 28), an execution determination process is performed (S139, see FIG. 29), the date / time designation location undesignated process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends. Alternatively, when all the buildings have been examined (S131: YES), it is determined whether or not the desired date / time is only the date / time set as “implementation date / time” (S133). Here, this process is performed following the date / time designation location undesignated process, and the desired date / time is determined to be the only date / time (S133: YES), and the drafter's user terminal 11 receives “ Information for displaying a message screen indicating that it is rainy weather at the desired date and time, and the travel distance of the participant becomes shorter at that date and time is transmitted (S136). Then, the date / time designation location undesignated process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  In this way, when the weather at the desired date and time is rainy weather, the vacant rooms are searched in order from the nearest buildings in consideration of the distance traveled from the place where the participant was immediately before, The room is the implementation location.

  As described above, when “only the date and time is specified”, the weather forecast of the desired date and time is referred, and if the weather is rainy weather, taking into account the distance traveled from the previous location of the participant, A building is selected in preference to a building that is generally closer. In addition, when the weather is not rainy, the building is selected with priority given to the place with the most previous location.

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 25 to 27, the date and time location undesignated processing that is performed when “date and location are not uniquely designated” will be described. For example, 1 hour from 10:00 on September 4, 2006, 1 hour from 14:00 on September 4, 2006, and 1 hour from 16:00 on September 4, 2006 are set as “desired date and time”. Suppose that "desired place" is not specified.

  As shown in FIG. 25, for all participants, the schedule of the desired date and time is first referred from the personal schedule DB storage area 284, and the date and time when all participants are available is “participation possible date and time”. It is stored in the possible date storage area 235 (S80). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a participation date (S81). If the date / time is not stored in the participation possible date / time storage area 235 (S81: NO), information for displaying a message screen indicating that “the participant's convenience does not exist at the desired date / time” on the drafter's user terminal 11 Is transmitted (S82). Then, the date / time location unspecified process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If there is a participation date / time (S81: YES), it is determined whether there is only one participation date / time (S83). When there is only one participation date / time (S83: YES), the date / time is stored as the “execution date / time” in the execution date / time storage area 231 (S84), and the execution date / time is uniquely determined. Therefore, processing for determining the place of implementation is performed (S85-S95, FIG. 25, S121-S136, FIG. 27). On the other hand, when there is not only one possible date and time (S83: NO), processing for determining the implementation date and location and implementation location is performed (S101 to S112, FIG. 26, S121 to S136, FIG. 27).

  First, the case where there is only one participation date and time (S83: YES) will be described. In S84, if the participation possible date / time is set as the implementation date / time (S84), the weather forecast of the participation possible date / time is acquired from the weather prevention DB storage area 283, and stored in the weather column of the participation possible date / time storage area 235 (S85). Then, it is determined whether the participation possible date and time is fine weather (S86).

  If the sunny weather is stored in the weather column of the possible date and time storage area 235, and if it is a sunny date and time (S86: YES), first, the location immediately before the participant's implementation date and time is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284. And stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236 (S87). The building having the most participants is stored in the candidate building storage area 240 as a “candidate building” (S88).

  Then, a “room” that is not scheduled is searched for from the “room” of the candidate building from the holding place reservation status storage area 285 (S89). If there is a vacant room (S90: YES), the vacant room is stored in the implementation location storage area 232 as an “execution location” (S96), and attendance confirmation processing is performed (S97, see FIG. 28). The determination process is performed (S98, see FIG. 29), the date / time designation location undesignated process is terminated, the process returns to the main process, and the main process is also terminated.

  If there is no vacant room (S90: NO), it is determined whether or not all the buildings stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236 have been examined (S93). Whether or not the storage area to be marked is provided in the RAM 23 corresponding to the building stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236, and whether or not all buildings are marked with “x”. Thus, it is determined whether or not all buildings have been examined. Although not shown, the marking indicating “x” is performed after it is determined in S90 that there is no empty room. If all the buildings have not been examined (S93: NO), the building with the most participants in the previous building is set as a “candidate building” (S95), and the process returns to S89. Then, “rooms” that are not scheduled are searched for among the “rooms” of the candidate building (S89). Then, the processes of S89 to S95 are repeatedly performed until a vacant room is found, and when all the buildings stored in the immediately preceding place storage area 236 are examined (S93: YES), the “desired date and time” is displayed on the drafter's user terminal 11. Then, information for displaying a message screen indicating that the location could not be secured is transmitted (S94). Then, the date / time designation location undesignated process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  On the other hand, if the sunny weather is not stored in the weather column of the participation possible date / time storage area 235 in S85 and there is no sunny date / time (S86: NO), the process proceeds to S122 shown in FIG. Then, by the processing of S122 to S139, when the weather at the desired date and time is rainy weather, the vacant rooms are searched in order from the nearest buildings in consideration of the moving distance from the location immediately before the participant. If there is a vacant room (S128: YES), one of the vacant rooms is set as the “execution place” (S137), and attendance confirmation processing is performed (S138, see FIG. 28). An execution determination process is performed (S139, see FIG. 29), the date / time designation location unspecified process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends. Since this detail is described in detail in the case of “the date and place are not uniquely specified”, the description is omitted here.

  Next, the case where it is determined in S83 that there is not one possible participation date and time (S83: NO) will be described. In this case, the process proceeds to S101 shown in FIG. Therefore, the weather forecast of the participation possible date and time is acquired from the weather prevention DB storage area 283 and stored in the weather column of the participation possible date and time storage area 235 (S101). Then, a determination is made as to whether or not there is a clear date / time in the available date / time (S102). If there is a sunny date and time (S102: YES), the date and time when the value indicating “x” is not stored in the impossible check column of the participation possible date and time storage area 235, and the earliest date and time among the sunny dates and times is “implementation date and time”. (S103). The immediately preceding location is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284 and stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236 (S104), and the immediately preceding location is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 284 and stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236. Stored (S105).

  Then, the “room” of the candidate building is searched from the holding place reservation status storage area 285 (S106). If there is a vacant room (S107: YES), the vacant room is stored in the implementation location storage area 232 as an “execution location” (S108), and attendance confirmation processing is performed (S109, see FIG. 28). The determination process is performed (S110, see FIG. 29), the date / time designation location undesignated process ends, the process returns to the main process, and the main process also ends.

  If there is no vacant room (S107: NO), it is determined whether or not all the buildings stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236 have been examined (S111). Whether or not the storage area to be marked is provided in the RAM 23 corresponding to the building stored in the immediately preceding location storage area 236, and whether or not all buildings are marked with “x”. Thus, it is determined whether or not all buildings have been examined. Although not shown, the marking indicating “x” is performed after it is determined in S107 that there is no empty room. If all the buildings have not been examined (S111: NO), the building with the most participants in the previous building is set as a “candidate building” (S112), and the process returns to S106. Then, “rooms” that are not scheduled are searched for among the “rooms” of the candidate building (S106). Then, the processes of S106, S107, S111, and S112 are repeatedly performed until a vacant room is found. When all the buildings stored in the immediately preceding place storage area 236 are examined (S111: YES), the participation possible date / time storage area 235 is obtained. Is a value indicating “x” stored in the impossible check column for the implementation date (S113), and is a value indicating “x” stored in the impossible check column for all sunny dates in the available date storage area 235? A determination of whether or not is made (S114). If a value indicating “x” is not stored in all the sunny date impossible check columns (S114: NO), the process returns to S103, and other sunny dates are processed (S103 to S113).

  Also, if all the clear date / time impossible check fields are “×” (S114: YES), it means that an empty room could not be secured on the clear date and time, so the process proceeds to S121 shown in FIG. The implementation date and time are determined from other dates and times, and the implementation location is also determined (S121 to S139). The processing here will be described in detail in the case where “the date and location are not uniquely specified” after the closest date and time that is not “x” is determined as the “execution date and time” (S121). Therefore, the description is omitted here. However, since it is determined that there is not one desired date / time in S133 (S133: NO), a value indicating “x” is stored in the implementation date / time impossible check column of the available date / time storage area 235 (S134). Then, it is determined whether or not a value indicating “x” is stored in the impossible check column for all possible participation dates and times (S135), and if there is a date and time that has not yet been checked (S135: NO). ), The closest date / time that is not “x” is determined as “execution date / time” (S121), and the execution date / time is processed (S122 to S133, S137 to S138). Then, when the processes of S122 to S133 are repeatedly performed and all the possible participation dates and times are set to “x” (S135: YES), the drafter's user terminal 11 is sent to the drafter's user terminal 11 and the Information for displaying a message screen indicating that the weather is weather and the moving distance of the participant is longer at that date and time is transmitted (S136).

  As described above, in the case where “the date and location are not uniquely specified”, the participation possible date and time is determined from the date and time when all the participants are free, and when there is only one participation possible date and time, The weather forecast is referred to, and if it is a sunny day and day, an empty room is searched in order from the building where there were many participants immediately before, and the place of implementation is determined. Also, if there is no sunny date and time, the travel distance value from the place just before is taken into account, and the room to be vacated is searched in order from the nearest building, and the implementation place is determined. In addition, when there are a plurality of maintenances available for participation, the implementation date is determined with priority on the sunny date.

  Therefore, since the weather forecast is taken into consideration when deciding the date and place of the schedule, it is a place that travels a long distance despite rain, or there are other sunny days Never move on a rainy day.

Yes. Although not shown, the RAM 103 is provided with other storage areas. These pieces of information are stored in a predetermined storage area of the hard disk device 18 when the power of the user terminal 10 is turned off, and subsequently processed when the user terminal 10 is started up. Is controlled.

  In the implementation date storage area 1231, the date and time determined as the date and time of conducting the conference is stored as “execution date and time”, and in the implementation location storage area 1232, a code indicating the location determined as the date and time of holding the conference is “ The attendance determination flag storage area 1233 stores an “attendance determination flag” indicating the attendance status of the conference based on the attendance response from the participant. In the desired information storage area 1234, the desired information transmitted from the user terminal 10 is stored. In the candidate date / time storage area 1235, when the schedule is adjusted, the schedule information is available to the user terminals 10 of other participants. The date and time for inquiring about the condition is stored. In the participation possible date and time storage area 1236, when adjusting the schedule, all participants who can participate in the desired date and time (the date and time input on the new schedule input screen 901) can participate (other schedules are registered. No) The date and time are stored.

  The empty inquiry result storage area 1237 stores the result of inquiring about the availability of the schedule to the user terminals 10 of other participants, that is, the result of “available / scheduled” for the candidate date and time. The provisional inquiry result storage area 1238 stores the execution date and time and a response to the execution of the schedule at the execution place. A weather flag is stored in the weather flag storage area 1239, a mobile outdoor flag is stored in the mobile outdoor flag storage area 1240, and a cloudy flag is stored in the cloudy flag storage area 1241. The immediately preceding location storage area 1242 stores the location immediately before the implementation date. The movement distance value information storage area 1243 stores the movement distance value between the place of implementation and the immediately preceding location.

  Next, the participation possible date and time storage area 1236 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 33, the participation possible date / time storage area 1236 is provided with a participation possible date / time column and an impossible check column. The possible date and time column stores the date and time that all participants' schedules are “vacant” among the desired dates and times, and the impossible check column considers the date and time and is not set as the implementation date and time Is stored with a value (for example, “1”) indicating that.

  Next, the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 will be described with reference to FIG. The temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 is provided with a participant field and a result field, and the result of the inquiry is stored for each participant. If the location is "outdoor", there are three types of results: "attendance", "absence", and "location change request". If it is "indoor", "attendance" and " There are two types of absence.

  Next, the implementation confirmation screen 905 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 35 is an explanatory diagram of the execution confirmation screen 905. This implementation confirmation screen 905 shows that the weather forecast for the implementation date and time becomes rainy weather at a predetermined time before the implementation date and time of the registered schedule (for example, 10:00 in the morning 3 days before, 36 hours before the implementation date and time). Displayed on the drafter's user terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 35, a message indicating that the weather forecast for the implementation date and time is rainy weather, and the content of the schedule, the conference name, the date and time, the venue, and the participants are displayed. Then, an “execute this schedule” button and an “enter new schedule” button are displayed. When the “execute this schedule” button is selected, the schedule stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 is left as it is. When the “enter new schedule” button is selected, a new schedule input screen 901 is displayed. Is displayed.

  Next, main processing performed in the user terminal 10 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 36 to 46. 36 to 39 are flowcharts of the main process, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of the indoor process performed in the main process, and FIG. 41 is a flowchart of the outdoor process performed in the main process. 42 is a flowchart of the indoor adjustment process performed in the main process, FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the indoor determination process performed in the indoor adjustment process, and FIG. 44 is a flowchart of the main process. 45 is a flowchart of the indoor temporary schedule inquiry reception process performed in the main process. FIG. 46 is a flowchart of the indoor determination process and the outdoor adjustment process. It is a flowchart of the attendance determination process implemented.

  This main process is started when the terminal program is executed in the user terminal 10, and the determination processes of S1001 to S1008 are repeatedly performed. When the conditions are satisfied in each determination process, a process corresponding to the determination process is performed. Is done. Since the user terminal 10 may adjust its own schedule or may receive a query from another user terminal 10 and perform a process in response thereto, any of these processes is performed. Here, for the sake of explanation, the user terminal 10 of the drafter into which the new schedule is input is referred to as the user terminal 11, and the user terminal 10 of the participant who is designated as the participant in the new schedule and receives an inquiry is referred to as the user terminal 12. I will explain that.

  Further, in the adjustment of the schedule, the processing varies greatly depending on whether the place of implementation is “indoor” or “outdoor”. Therefore, first, the process in the drafter's user terminal 11 and the participant's user terminal 12 will be described by taking the case where the implementation location is “indoor” as an example, and then the drafter's user in the case of “outdoor” as an example Processing in the terminal 11 and the user terminal 12 of the participant will be described.

  First, when an instruction of “new schedule registration” is given on the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S1001: YES), a new schedule input screen 901 (see FIG. 15) is displayed (S1021), and the “Register” button is selected. Then, the input information is stored as desired information in the desired information storage area 1234 (S1022). Here, the desired location is stored in the implementation location storage area 1232 as “implementation location”. Then, it is determined whether or not the implementation location is “outdoor” with reference to the location DB storage area 1282 (S1023). Since the execution location is “indoor” (S1023: NO), the desired date and time stored in the desired information storage area 1234 is stored in the candidate date and time storage area 1235 as “candidate date and time” (S1027). Then, “vacancy inquiry” information is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S 1032). This “empty inquiry” information includes candidate dates and times. The empty inquiry deadline date and time is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1033). This stores the date and time after a predetermined time (for example, two days) from the current date and time. Then, the empty inquiry result storage area 1237 is cleared (S1034). Then, the process returns to S1001.

  On the other hand, in the user terminal 12 of the participant to whom the “empty inquiry” information is transmitted, the “empty inquiry” information is received (S1006: YES) and stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 of its own hard disk device 18. The candidate date / time schedule is read out from the personal schedule, the available date / time is set as “available date / time” (S1081), “available date / time” is added to the “available date / time response” information, and the drafter's user terminal 11 is set. (S1082).

  Then, in the user terminal 11 of the drafter, it is determined that “waiting for a response to the empty inquiry” because the empty inquiry deadline date is stored (S1002: YES). It is determined whether or not “date and time response” information has been received (S1041). Therefore, if the “available date response” information is received (S1041: YES), the received contents, that is, the available date and time are stored in the available inquiry result storage area 1237 (S1042). If the “vacant date / time response” information is not received, the process proceeds to S1043 without doing anything. Then, it is determined whether or not all the “vacant date / time response” information has been received (S1043). The number of data stored in the empty inquiry result storage area 1237 is compared with the number of participants stored in the desired information storage area 1234. If the number of data is smaller, all the “empty date response” It is determined that no information has been received (S1043: NO). Therefore, a determination is made as to whether the empty inquiry deadline date has passed (S1044). If it has not passed yet (S1044: NO), it returns to S1001.

  Then, the processes of S1001, S1002, and S1041 to S1044 are repeated, and when “empty inquiry response” information is received from all members (S1043: YES), the empty inquiry deadline date is cleared (S1045). Further, even if all the “empty inquiry response” information is not received (S1043: NO), the empty inquiry deadline date is cleared when the empty inquiry deadline date has passed (S1044: YES) (S1045). Since the place of implementation is “indoor” (S1046: NO), indoor processing is performed (S1048, see FIG. 40).

  In the indoor processing, the empty inquiry result storage area 1237 is referred to, and it is determined whether there is a participant who has no empty date and time (S1101). If there is a participant who has no vacant date and time (S1101: YES), the schedule cannot be set at the desired date and time, so the message “There is a participant who has no vacant date and time” is displayed on the display 14 of the user terminal 11 of the drafter. Is displayed (S1108). Then, the process returns to S1021 shown in FIG. 36, and a new schedule input screen is displayed (S1021), so that the drafter can input desired information for a new schedule based on the result of this time.

  If there is no participant who has no vacant date and time (S1101: NO), the vacant inquiry result storage area 1237 is referred to, the vacant date and time common to all members is extracted, and the participation possible date and time storage area as “participable date and time”. It is stored in the 1236 participation possible date and time column (S1102). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a date and time when participation is possible (S1103). If the date / time is not stored in the available date / time column and there is no available date / time (S1103: NO), the schedule cannot be set at the desired date / time. A screen in which a message stating that “there is no participant” is displayed (S1108). Then, the process returns to S1021 shown in FIG. 36, and a new schedule input screen is displayed (S1021), so that the drafter can input desired information for a new schedule based on the result of this time.

  If there is an available date / time (S1103: YES), the earliest date / time of the available date / time is stored in the implementation date / time storage area 1231 as the implementation date / time (S1104). Then, the “indoor temporary schedule inquiry” information is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1105). Here, the implementation date and place are listed, and an inquiry is made as to whether or not the implementation location is acceptable at this implementation date. Then, the indoor temporary inquiry deadline date and time is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1106). This stores the date and time after a predetermined time (for example, two days) from the current date and time. Then, the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 is cleared (S1107). Then, the process returns to S1001.

  On the other hand, in the user terminal 12 of the participant to whom the “indoor temporary schedule inquiry” information is transmitted, assuming that the “indoor temporary schedule inquiry” information has been received (S1008: YES), an indoor temporary schedule inquiry reception process is performed (S1099, (See FIG. 45). As shown in FIG. 45, in the indoor temporary schedule inquiry reception process, the location immediately before the actual date and time is read from the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 of the hard disk device 18 of the user terminal 12 of the participant, and the location immediately before the RAM 103 is obtained. It is stored in the storage area 1242 (S1221). Then, it is determined whether or not the “building” at the immediately preceding location is the same as the “building” at the implementation location (S1222). If it is the same place (S1222: YES), since it does not move outdoors, “0” is stored in the moving outdoor flag and turned OFF (S1225). If they are not the same building (S1222: NO), the moving distance value information storage area 1285 is referred to, and the moving distance value between the “building” of the immediately existing location and the “building” of the implementation location is the moving distance value. It is stored in the information storage area 1243 and a determination is made as to whether or not it is greater than or equal to the reference value (S1223). If it is not equal to or greater than the reference value (S1223: NO), the distance is not close enough to consider the weather when moving, but is close, so "0" is stored in the moving outdoor flag and turned OFF (S1225). On the other hand, if it is equal to or greater than the reference value (S1223: YES), since there is a distance that should be taken into account when moving, "1" is stored in the moving outdoor flag and turned ON (S1224).

  Then, a determination is made as to whether the mobile outdoor flag is ON (S1226). If the outdoor outdoor flag is not ON (S1226: NO), it is not necessary to consider the weather, so an attendance confirmation screen 903 (see FIG. 17) is displayed (S1231). When an input from a user who is a participant is accepted and the “attendance” button is selected (S1232: YES), “indoor attendance response indicating attendance” information is transmitted to the user terminal 11 of the drafter ( S1233). Also. If the “absence” button is selected instead of the “attendance” button (S1232: NO), “indoor attendance response indicating absence” information is transmitted to the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S1234). Then, the process returns to the main process and returns to S1001.

  Further, if the moving outdoor flag is ON (S1226: YES), it is necessary to consider the weather. Therefore, “1” is stored in the weather flag and turned ON (S1227). Then, the weather forecast of the implementation date is acquired from the server 20 (S1228). Then, it is determined whether or not the acquired weather forecast is rainy weather (S1229). If it is not rainy weather, it may be moved outdoors, so the process proceeds to S1231, and an attendance confirmation screen 903 (see FIG. 17) is displayed (S1231). If the “attendance” button is selected by the user who is a participant (S1232: YES), “indoor attendance response indicating attendance” information is transmitted to the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S1233). Also. If the “absence” button is selected instead of the “attendance” button (S1232: NO), “indoor attendance response indicating absence” information is transmitted to the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S1234). Then, the process returns to the main process and returns to S1001.

  If the acquired weather forecast is rainy weather (S1229: YES), “indoor attendance response indicating a place change request” information is transmitted to the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S1230). Then, the process returns to the main process and returns to S1001.

  In this way, the “indoor attendance response” information is transmitted from the user terminal 12 of the participant to the user terminal 11 of the drafter. During this time, the drafter's user terminal 11 stores the indoor temporary inquiry deadline date and time, and therefore, it is determined that “waiting for response to the indoor temporary inquiry” (S1003: YES). It is determined whether or not information has been received (S1051). Therefore, if “indoor attendance response” information is received (S1051: YES), the received content, that is, a value indicating “attendance”, “absence” or “since location change” is stored in the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238. (S1052). If the “indoor attendance response” information has not been received, the process proceeds to S1053 without doing anything. Then, it is determined whether or not all the “indoor attendance response” information has been received (S1053). The number of data stored in the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 and the number of participants stored in the desired information storage area 1234 are compared. If the number of data is smaller, all the “indoor attendance responses” It is determined that no information has been received (S1053: NO). Therefore, a determination is made as to whether or not the indoor provisional inquiry deadline date has passed (S1054). If it has not yet elapsed, the process returns to S1001.

  Then, the processes of S1001 to S1003 and S1051 to S1054 are repeated, and when “indoor attendance response” information is received from all members (S1053: YES), the indoor temporary inquiry deadline date and time is cleared (S1045). Further, even if the “indoor temporary inquiry response” information of all the members is not received (S1043: NO), the indoor temporary inquiry deadline date is cleared when the indoor temporary inquiry deadline date has passed (S1054: YES) (S1055). Then, an indoor adjustment process is performed (S1056, see FIG. 42).

  As shown in FIG. 42, in the indoor adjustment process, the provisional inquiry result storage area 1238 is referred to and it is determined whether or not there is a “place change request” (S1131). If there is no “location change request” (S1131: NO), it may be determined at this execution date and time, so an indoor determination process is performed (S1132, see FIG. 43), the process returns to the main process, and the process returns to S1001. As shown in FIG. 43, in the indoor determination process, an attendance determination process is first performed (S1151, FIG. 46).

  As shown in FIG. 46, in the attendance determination process, the provisional inquiry result storage area 1238 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not all the essential participants have responded “attendance” (S1241). If all the essential participants have not responded “Attendance” (S1241: NO), this schedule cannot be registered, so “0” is stored in the attendance determination flag and is turned OFF (S1244). Then, the process returns to the indoor determination process. If all the essential participants respond with “attendance” (S1241: YES), the provisional inquiry result storage area 1238 is referred to calculate the attendance rate, and whether the attendance rate is equal to or higher than the reference value. Is determined (S1242). This reference value is a value input in the attendance determination process on the new schedule input screen 901. If no value is entered in this field, a predetermined value, for example, 80% is used as the reference value. If it is not equal to or greater than the reference value (S1242: NO), “0” is stored in the attendance determination flag and is turned OFF (S1244), and the attendance confirmation process is terminated. If the attendance rate is equal to or higher than the reference value (S1242: YES), “1” is stored in the attendance determination flag and turned ON (S1243), the attendance determination processing ends, and the process returns to the indoor determination processing.

  As shown in FIG. 43, in the indoor determination process, it is determined whether or not the attendance determination flag is ON (S1152). If the attendance determination flag is ON (S1152: YES), since this schedule is confirmed, confirmed information indicating the schedule content is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1153). Although not shown during the main processing, the user terminal 12 of the participant displays a confirmation notification screen (not shown) describing the contents of the schedule when receiving the confirmation information in other processing (S1100). 14 and stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 of the hard disk device 18. The CPU 101 that performs this storage processing corresponds to “storage control means”.

  Further, when the attendance determination flag is not ON (S1152: NO), “x” is displayed in the impossible check column in which the implementation date / time is stored in the participation date / time storage area 1236 (see FIG. 33). The indicated value (for example, “1”) is stored (S1154). Then, a change / cancel confirmation screen (not shown) is displayed (S1155). On the change / cancel confirmation screen, the conference name, the implementation date, the implementation location, and the participants are displayed as schedule contents. And the message which shows that an essential participant does not participate or an attendance rate is lower than a reference value is displayed. A “change” button and a “cancel” button are displayed. When the “change” button is selected (S1156: YES), the schedule is reconsidered at another possible participation date and time, and when the “cancel” button is selected (S1156: NO), this schedule is canceled. Is displayed to the participant's user terminal 12 (S1157). In the user terminal 12 of the participant, although not shown in the main process, when this information is received in the other process (S1100), the contents of the schedule and the wording indicating that it has been canceled are displayed on the display 14. The

  Here, a case where the “change” button is selected (S1156: YES) will be described. First, the impossibility check column of the participation possible date and time storage area 1236 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not there is a date and time when the impossible marking is not performed (S1161). If no value indicating “x” is stored in all the impossible check columns (S1161: NO), there is a date and time to be examined yet, so the most possible participation date and time in which “x” is not stored. The earlier date and time is stored in the implementation date storage area 1231 as the implementation date and time (S1162). Then, the “indoor temporary schedule inquiry” information is transmitted again to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S 1163). The indoor temporary inquiry deadline date and time is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1164), and the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 is cleared (S1165). Then, the process returns to S1001.

  If values indicating “x” are stored in all the impossible check fields (S1161: YES), a “re-request / cancel confirmation screen” (not shown) is displayed (S1171). In this “re-request / cancel confirmation screen”, the name of the conference, the date and time of implementation, the location of implementation, and the participants are displayed as schedule contents. Then, a message indicating that no agreement has been reached at all possible participation dates and times is displayed. A “re-request” button and a “cancel” button are displayed. When the “re-request” button is selected (S1172: YES), the impossible check column in the possible participation date / time storage area 1236 is cleared (S1173), and the earliest possible date / time is set as the “execution date / time”. (S1174), the “indoor temporary schedule inquiry” information is transmitted again to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1175). Then, the indoor temporary inquiry deadline date and time is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1176), and the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 is cleared (S1177). Then, the indoor determination process ends, and the process returns to S1001 of the main process.

  When the “cancel” button is selected (S 1172: NO), information for displaying a message indicating that this schedule has been canceled is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant. In the user terminal 12 of the participant, although not shown in the main process, when this information is received in the other process (S1100), the contents of the schedule and the wording indicating that it has been canceled are displayed on the display 14. The Then, the indoor determination process ends, and the process returns to S1001 of the main process.

  Next, returning to FIG. 42, the case where there is a “place change request” in the indoor adjustment process (S1131: YES) will be described. As shown in FIG. 42, a “place change request screen” (not shown) indicating that there has been a “place change request” is displayed (S1133). On this “place change request screen”, the contents of the schedule, the temporary inquiry result of each participant, and a message indicating that there has been a “place change request” are described. In addition, a “change” button, a “register as it is” button, and a selection field for a new desired place are provided. Therefore, when the “Register as is” button is selected instead of the “Change” button (S1134: NO), indoor determination processing is performed (S1132). On the other hand, when a new desired place is selected in the new desired place selection field and the “change” button is selected (S1134: YES), the implementation location in the implementation information storage area 1232 is set to the newly selected location. The information is changed (S1135), and “indoor temporary schedule inquiry” information is transmitted to the participant's user terminal 12 at the new implementation location (S1136). Then, the indoor temporary inquiry deadline date is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1137), and the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 is cleared (S1138). Then, the indoor determination process ends, and the process returns to S1001 of the main process.

  As described above, when “indoor” is selected as the place of implementation, the participant's user terminal 12 is inquired about the vacant date and time and attendance, and all the essential participants are set to “attendance”. If there is an attendance rate equal to or greater than the value, the schedule is confirmed and stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 of the user terminal 12 of the participant.

  Next, the process in the user terminal 11 of the drafter and the user terminal 12 of the participant will be described taking the case of “outdoor” as an example.

  First, when an instruction of “new schedule registration” is given on the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S1001: YES), a new schedule input screen 901 (see FIG. 15) is displayed (S1021), and the “Register” button is selected. Then, the input information is stored as desired information in the desired information storage area 1234 (S1022). Then, it is determined whether or not the implementation location is “outdoor” with reference to the location DB storage area 1282 (S1023). Since the location is “outdoor” (S1023: YES), “1” is stored in the weather flag and “ON” is set (S1025). Then, the weather forecast for the desired date and time is acquired from the weather forecast DB storage area 1283 of the server 20 (S1026). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a date and time (sunny date and time) that is sunny weather (S1027).

  If there is a sunny date and time (S1027: YES), the sunny date and time is stored as a candidate date and time in the candidate date and time storage area 1235 (S1031). Then, the process proceeds to S1032. If there is no clear date and time (S1027: NO), an execution confirmation screen (not shown) is displayed (S1028). Here, a message indicating that the place of implementation is outdoors but the weather forecast is not sunny is displayed. Furthermore, an “execute” button and a “change” button are provided. Then, when the “execute” button is selected (S1029: YES), it means that it is desired to register this schedule even if the weather is not fine, so the desired date and time stored in the desired information storage area 1234 is “candidate date and time”. Is stored in the candidate date storage area 1235 (S1030). Then, the process proceeds to S1032. If the “change” button is selected (S1029: NO), the process returns to S1021, and a new schedule input screen 901 is displayed (S1021).

  Then, in S1032, the “empty inquiry” information is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1032). This “empty inquiry” information includes candidate dates and times. The empty inquiry deadline date and time is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1033). This stores the date and time after a predetermined time (for example, two days) from the current date and time. Then, the empty inquiry result storage area 1237 is cleared (S1034). Then, the process returns to S1001.

  On the other hand, in the user terminal 12 of the participant to whom the “empty inquiry” information is transmitted, the “empty inquiry” information is received (S1006: YES) and stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 of its own hard disk device 18. The candidate date / time schedule is read out from the personal schedule, the available date / time is set as “available date / time” (S1081), “available date / time” is added to the “available date / time response” information, and the drafter's user terminal 11 is set. (S1082).

  Then, in the user terminal 11 of the drafter, it is determined that “waiting for a response to the empty inquiry” because the empty inquiry deadline date is stored (S1002: YES). It is determined whether or not “date and time response” information has been received (S1041). Therefore, if the “available date response” information is received (S1041: YES), the received contents, that is, the available date and time are stored in the available inquiry result storage area 1237 (S1042). If the “vacant date / time response” information is not received, the process proceeds to S1043 without doing anything. Then, it is determined whether or not all the “vacant date / time response” information has been received (S1043). The number of data stored in the empty inquiry result storage area 1237 is compared with the number of participants stored in the desired information storage area 1234. If the number of data is smaller, all the “empty date response” It is determined that no information has been received (S1043: NO). Therefore, a determination is made as to whether the empty inquiry deadline date has passed (S1044). If it has not passed yet (S1044: NO), it returns to S1001.

  Then, the processes of S1001, S1002, and S1041 to S1044 are repeated, and when “empty inquiry response” information is received from all members (S1043: YES), the empty inquiry deadline date is cleared (S1045). Further, even if all the “empty inquiry response” information is not received (S1043: NO), the empty inquiry deadline date is cleared when the empty inquiry deadline date has passed (S1044: YES) (S1045). Since the location is “outdoor” (S1046: YES), outdoor processing is performed (S1047, see FIG. 41).

  As shown in FIG. 41, in the outdoor process, the empty inquiry result storage area 1237 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not there is a participant who has no empty date and time (S1111). When there is no participant who has no vacant date and time (S1111: NO), the vacant inquiry result storage area 1237 is referred to, the vacant date and time common to all the members is extracted, and “participable date and time storage area 1236” It is stored in the participation possible date and time column (S1112). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a date and time when participation is possible (S1113).

  If there is an available date / time (S1113: YES), the earliest date / time is stored in the implementation date / time storage area 1231 as the implementation date / time (S1114). Then, “outdoor temporary schedule inquiry” information is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1115). Here, the implementation date and place are listed, and an inquiry is made as to whether or not the implementation location is acceptable at this implementation date. The outdoor provisional inquiry deadline date and time is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1116). This stores the date and time after a predetermined time (for example, two days) from the current date and time. Then, the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 is cleared (S1117). Then, the outdoor process ends, and the process returns to S1001.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 39, the participant's user terminal 12 to which the “outdoor temporary schedule inquiry” information has been transmitted receives the “outdoor temporary schedule inquiry” information (S1007: YES). 17) is displayed (S1091). If an input from a user who is a participant is accepted and the “attendance” button is selected (S1092: YES), “outdoor attendance response indicating attendance” information is transmitted to the user terminal 11 of the drafter ( S1093). Also. If the “absence” button is selected instead of the “attendance” button (S1092: NO), “outdoor attendance response indicating absence” information is transmitted to the user terminal 11 of the drafter (S1094). Then, the process returns to the main process and returns to S1001.

  In this manner, the “outdoor attendance response” information is transmitted from the user terminal 12 of the participant to the user terminal 11 of the drafter. During this time, the drafter's user terminal 11 stores the outdoor temporary inquiry deadline date and time, so it is determined that “waiting for a response to the outdoor temporary inquiry” (S1004: YES). It is determined whether information has been received (S1061). Therefore, if “outdoor attendance response” information is received (S1061: YES), the received contents, that is, a value indicating “attendance”, “absence” or “since location change” is stored in the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238. (S1062). If the “outdoor attendance response” information has not been received, the process proceeds to S1063 without doing anything. Then, it is determined whether or not all the “outdoor attendance response” information has been received (S1063). The number of data stored in the temporary query result storage area 1238 and the number of participants stored in the desired information storage area 1234 are compared. If the number of data is smaller, all of the “outdoor attendance responses” It is determined that no information has been received (S1063: NO). Accordingly, it is determined whether or not the outdoor provisional inquiry deadline date has passed (S1064). If it has not yet elapsed, the process returns to S1001.

  Then, the processes of S1001 to S1004 and S1061 to S1064 are repeated, and when “outdoor attendance response” information is received from all members (S1063: YES), the outdoor provisional inquiry deadline date and time is cleared (S1045). Further, even if all of the “outdoor temporary inquiry response” information is not received (S1063: NO), the outdoor temporary inquiry deadline date is cleared when the outdoor temporary inquiry deadline date has passed (S1064: YES) (S1065). Then, outdoor adjustment processing is performed (S1066, see FIG. 44).

  As shown in FIG. 42, in the outdoor adjustment process, an attendance determination process is first performed (S1181, FIG. 46). Since this attendance determination process has been described above, it will be omitted with reference to the description. However, if there is no attendance of essential participants or if the attendance rate is not equal to or higher than the reference value, the attendance determination flag is turned OFF, If all the mandatory participants are present and the attendance rate is equal to or higher than the reference value, the attendance determination flag is set to ON. When the attendance determination process ends (S1181). It is determined whether the attendance determination flag is ON (S1182). If the attendance determination flag is ON (S1182: YES), since this schedule is confirmed, confirmed information indicating the schedule contents is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1183). Although not shown during the main process, the user terminal 12 of the participant displays a confirmation notification screen (not shown) describing the contents of the schedule when the confirmation information is received in other processes (S1110). 14 and stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 of the hard disk device 18.

  If the attendance determination flag is not ON (S1182: NO), “x” is displayed in the impossible check column in which the implementation date / time is stored in the participation date / time storage area 1236 (see FIG. 33). The indicated value is stored (S1184). Then, a change / cancel confirmation screen (not shown) is displayed (S1185). On the change / cancel confirmation screen, the conference name, the implementation date, the implementation location, and the participants are displayed as schedule contents. And the message which shows that an essential participant does not participate or an attendance rate is lower than a reference value is displayed. A “change” button and a “cancel” button are displayed. When the “change” button is selected (S1186: YES), the schedule is reconsidered at another possible participation date and time, and when the “cancel” button is selected (S1186: NO), this schedule is canceled. Is transmitted to the participant's user terminal 12 (S1187). In the user terminal 12 of the participant, although not shown in the main process, when this information is received in the other process (S1110), the contents of the schedule and a word indicating that the cancellation has been made are displayed on the display 14. The

  Here, the case where the “change” button is selected (S1186: YES) will be described. First, the impossibility check column in the participation possible date and time storage area 1236 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not there is a date and time that is not marked as impossible (S1191). If the value indicating “x” is not stored in all the impossible check columns (S1191: NO), there is a date to be considered, so the most possible participation date and time in which “x” is not stored. The earlier date and time is stored in the implementation date storage area 1231 as the implementation date and time (S1192). Then, “outdoor temporary schedule inquiry” information is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant again (S1193). The outdoor temporary inquiry deadline date and time is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1194), and the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 is cleared (S1195). Then, the process returns to S1001.

  If values indicating “x” are stored in all the impossible check columns (S1191: YES), a “re-request / cancel confirmation screen” (not shown) is displayed (S1201). In this “re-request / cancel confirmation screen”, the name of the conference, the date and time of implementation, the location of implementation, and the participants are displayed as schedule contents. Then, a message indicating that no agreement has been reached at all possible participation dates and times is displayed. A “re-request” button and a “cancel” button are displayed. When the “re-request” button is selected (S1202: YES), the impossible check column in the possible participation date / time storage area 1236 is cleared (S1203), and the earliest possible date / time is set as the “execution date / time”. (S1204), “outdoor temporary schedule inquiry” information is transmitted again to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1205). The outdoor temporary inquiry deadline date and time is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1206), and the temporary inquiry result storage area 1238 is cleared (S1207). Then, the outdoor determination process ends, and the process returns to S1001 of the main process.

  If the “Cancel” button is selected (S1202: NO), information for displaying a message indicating that this schedule has been canceled is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1187). In the user terminal 12 of the participant, although not shown in the main process, when this information is received in the other process (S1110), the contents of the schedule and a word indicating that the cancellation has been made are displayed on the display 14. The Then, the outdoor determination process ends, and the process returns to S1001 of the main process.

  In the outdoor processing shown in FIG. 41, when there is a participant who has no vacant date / time (S1111: NO), when the date / time is not stored in the available date / time column and there is no available date / time (S1113: NO) Since a schedule cannot be set on a clear date and time, it is determined whether or not the date and time when the weather forecast is “cloudy” has been examined based on whether or not the cloudy flag is ON (S1121). Since the initial value of the cloudy flag is OFF, it is determined that the day of cloudy has not yet been considered (S1121: NO), and the date and time of cloudiness in the desired date and time is set as the “candidate date” (S1122). Then, it is determined whether there is a cloudy date and there is a candidate date (S1123). If there is no cloudy date (S1123: NO), the process proceeds to S1128. If there is a cloudy date and time (S1123: YES), “1” is stored in the cloudy flag and turned ON (S1124). Then, “empty inquiry” information is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant (S1125), the empty inquiry deadline date is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown) of the RAM 103 (S1126), and the empty inquiry result storage area 1237 is cleared. (S1127). Then, the outdoor process ends, and the process returns to S1001.

  On the other hand, in the user terminal 12 of the participant to whom the “empty inquiry” information is transmitted, the “empty inquiry” information is received (S1006: YES) and stored in the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 of its own hard disk device 18. The candidate date / time schedule is read out from the personal schedule, the available date / time is set as “available date / time” (S1081), “available date / time” is added to the “available date / time response” information, and the drafter's user terminal 11 is set. (S1082).

  In the outdoor processing shown in FIG. 41, if the cloudy flag is ON and the day of cloudy has already been considered (S1121: YES), “0” is stored in the cloudy flag and turned OFF (S1128). ), An unexecutable screen (not shown) is displayed (S1129). On this infeasible screen, a message is displayed indicating that the weather is bad or the participant's convenience is not suitable at the desired date and time. Then, the process returns to S1021 of the main process (FIG. 36), and a new schedule input screen 901 is displayed (S1021).

  As described above, when “outdoor” is selected as the implementation location, the implementation date / time is determined by giving priority to the participant's user terminal 12 for inquiries about available dates / times and sunny weather dates / times. If the attendance is inquired to the user terminal 12 and all the required participants are “attendance” and the attendance rate exceeds the reference value, the schedule is confirmed, and the personal schedule DB storage area of the user terminal 12 of the participant 1181 is stored.

  In the second embodiment, it is determined whether or not it is the weather check time in the main process (S1005). The weather check time is a predetermined time, for example, 9:00 in the morning. Then, the personal schedule DB storage area 1181 is referred to, and it is determined whether there is a schedule for performing a weather check (S1071). This determination is made based on whether or not there is a schedule in which the person is the drafter and the execution date / time is within a predetermined time (for example, two days). If there is no schedule for checking the weather (S1071: NO), the process returns to S1001, but if there is a schedule for checking the weather (S1071: YES), the weather forecast of the execution date and time of the schedule is acquired from the server 20 (S1072). ). If an alarm is issued (S1073: YES), or if it is rainy weather (S1073: NO, S1074: YES), an execution confirmation screen 905 (see FIG. 35) is displayed (S1075). If the “execute this schedule” button is selected (S1076: YES), no action is required, and the process returns to S1001. If the “input new schedule” button is selected (S1076: NO), the process returns to S1021, and a new schedule input screen 901 is displayed (S1021). Although not shown, in this case, information for displaying a message indicating that the schedule has been deleted is transmitted to the user terminal 12 of the participant, and the schedule is deleted from its own personal schedule DB storage area 1181. When the participant's user terminal 12 receives this information, a message indicating that the schedule has been deleted is displayed in the other processing of S1100, and the schedule is deleted from its own personal schedule DB storage area 1181.

  As described above, when the execution date and time of the schedule approaches, the weather forecast for the day is referred to, so it is possible to cope with a change in the weather forecast since the schedule was registered.

  In the second embodiment, the CPU 101 that displays the new schedule input screen 901 shown in FIG. 15 and performs processing for receiving input corresponds to “desired information input means”, and the communication control unit 25 shown in FIG. Corresponds to “connecting means”. The personal schedule DB storage unit 1181 of the hard disk device 28 of the server 20 corresponds to the “personal schedule storage unit”.
