  In FIG. 2, reference numeral 201 denotes a file A used in this embodiment, which is constructed in the database 117.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of determination, determination, and processing of notification from the work terminal. First, in step S301, it is determined whether work information has been received. As a result of the determination, if it is received, the process proceeds to step S302, and it is determined whether the received work information is a work start notification. If the result of this determination is not work start notification, processing proceeds to step S303.

  In step S303, it is determined whether the received work information is an update notification. As a result of the determination, if the received work information is not an update notification, the process proceeds to step S304. In step S304, it is determined whether the working file has been updated. If the result of this determination is that the file being worked on has not been updated, processing proceeds to step S305.

  In step S305, the work status monitoring unit 118 determines whether a work end notification has been received. As a result of the determination, if it is determined that a work end notification has been received, the process proceeds to step S310 and the work operation information is deleted.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S302 is a work start notification, the process proceeds to step S306, where the work status monitoring unit 118 registers the work operation information in the operation status management table 122. In step S 307, the work information transmission unit 129 transmits the work file to the work terminal 104. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S311.

  If it is determined in step S303 that the received work information is an update notification, the process proceeds to step S308. In step S308, the work information management unit 112 manages the updated work information. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S311.

  If the file being used is updated as a result of the determination in step S304, the process proceeds to step S309. In step S309, the work information update notification unit 128 receives an update notification from the work information extraction unit 123 and selects an appropriate transmission unit. Then, the work information transmission unit 129 acquires the work information updated from the work information management unit 112 and transmits the work information to the corresponding work terminal by the transmission unit selected by the work information update notification unit 128. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S311.

  Further, as a result of the determination in step S305, if the work end notification has not been received, the process proceeds to step S311 to determine whether to end the process. As a result of the determination, if the process is not terminated, the process returns to step S301 and the above-described process is repeatedly executed.

  The management server 101 manages information necessary for a plurality of work terminals 104-1 to 104-n connected to the network 103 to perform work. Then, information necessary for performing work is transmitted to the work terminals 104-1 to 104-n. Thereby, even if a project is working on a plurality of work terminals 104-1 to 104-n simultaneously and in parallel, the latest information can always be notified and transmitted for each work.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for registering work.
In step S401, the work status monitoring unit 118 uses the work registration unit 119 to determine whether there are parameters such as a work start notification from the work terminal 104-1 and an information selection key. As a result of this determination, if a work registration notification is accepted, the process proceeds to step S402, and the work registration unit 119 registers the circuit drawing creation work 203-1 and parameters in the operation status management table 122. The parameters to be registered include a generic name of the circuit and a version number. The version number can be omitted, and the latest version number is used. To use the past information, it is necessary to specify the version number.

  In step S403, the work information extraction unit 123 uses the operation status management table 122 and the work related information table 126. Then, the information linkage unit 124 extracts information on the file A 201 that is a database required for the circuit drawing creation work 203-1 from the attribute information management table 116 of the work information management unit 112.

  The work-related information table 126 is based on pre-defining the relation between work and information necessary for the work. However, at the start of work, new work and information necessary for the work are obtained as parameter information from the work. It is also possible to define associations.

  Next, in step S404, the information cooperation unit 124 selects a transmission unit that notifies the work information notification unit 127 of the work information extracted in step S403 and its transmission method. This selection is based on the definition in the work-related information table 126. The entire information transmission unit 130 for immediately transmitting the work information extracted in step S403, or the attribute information transmission unit for transmitting only file attribute information. One of 131 is selected.

  In this embodiment, the attribute information transmission unit 131 that transmits only the attribute information of the file is selected as the transmission method of the circuit drawing creation work 203-1. Therefore, as a result of the selection in step S404, the process proceeds to step S406. In step S <b> 406, the attribute information transmission unit 131 transmits information related to the file A <b> 201 by the attribute information transmission unit 131 to the circuit drawing creation work 203-1.

  Next, in step S407, the request information transmission unit 132 receives a request from the circuit drawing creation work 203-1. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S408, and part or all of the information related to the file A201 is transmitted to the circuit drawing creation work 203-1, according to the request. In this embodiment, the information used for the circuit drawing creation work 203-1 is cached in the work terminal 104-1, and only the latest information is obtained from the work information management apparatus 102, and thus the process proceeds from step S404 to step S406. Explained. However, in the case of a work terminal or work that does not cache information, the process proceeds from step S404 to step S405, and the all information transmission unit 130 that transmits all information is selected. The above is a preferred example of the processing procedure performed when the work shown in FIG. 4 is registered.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for updating information from the work terminal.
In step S501, the work information receiving unit 111 stands by until receiving an information update notification from the circuit drawing creation work 203-1. When an information update notification is received, the process proceeds to step S502, and the notified information is acquired.

  In step S503, the work information management unit 112 updates the attribute information management table 116 using the attribute information management unit 113. In addition, the file management unit 114 updates the database 117. Further, the update notification unit 115 notifies the update detection unit 125 of the work information extraction unit 123 of the update.

  Next, in step S504, the update detection unit 125 determines whether or not the information of the file A201 used in the present embodiment has been updated. If there is no update information as a result of this determination, the process returns to step S501 to repeat the above-described processing. If update information is detected as a result of the determination in step S504, the process proceeds to step S505.

  In step S <b> 505, related work is extracted from the work related information table 126, and active work is extracted from the operation status management table 122. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S506, and when the circuit drawing creation work 203-2, the simulation work 203-3, and the design rule check 203-n in FIG. 2 use the file A201, the work information update notification unit 128 Update notification for work.

  Next, a transmission part is selected in step S507. At this time, the work information update notification unit 128 transmits only the attribute information, so the process proceeds from step S507 to step S508. In step S508, only the updated attribute information of the file A201 is transmitted to the work terminal 104-2 that performs the circuit drawing creation work and the work terminal 104-3 that performs the simulation work.

  In step S509, the request information transmission unit 132 receives a request from the circuit drawing creation work 203-1. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S510, and part or all of the information related to the file A201 is transmitted to the circuit drawing creation work 203-1, according to the request. In this embodiment, as described above, information used for the circuit drawing creation work 203-1 is cached in the work terminal 104-1, and only the latest information is obtained from the work information management apparatus 102. The example of proceeding to step S508 has been described. However, in the case of a work terminal or work that has not cached information, the process proceeds from step S507 to step S511, and all information transmission unit 130 that transmits all information is selected. The above is a preferred example of the processing procedure performed when the work shown in FIG. 5 is registered.

FIG. 6A is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for deleting work.
In step S601, the work status monitoring unit 118 waits for a work end notification sent from the circuit drawing creation work 203-1 being performed in the work terminal 104-1. When the work end notification is received, the process proceeds to step S602, where the work deletion unit 120 deletes the operation information of the circuit drawing creation work 203-1 from the operation status management table 122 and ends the process.

  By the way, when each work of the work terminals 104-1 to 104-n is finished without performing a normal finish process, a contradiction occurs in the contents of the operation status management table 122. In order to avoid this, the operation monitoring unit 121 executes the process shown in FIG.

  First, in step S603, it is checked whether or not the work in the operation status management table 122 is operating on the work terminals 104-1 to 104-n, and the completion of the work is awaited. If the end of work is detected in step S603, the process advances to step S604, and the work deletion unit 120 deletes the corresponding work from the operation status management table 122.
