<Embodiment 1>
Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, the terminal device 1 will be described. FIG. 1 shows a terminal device 1. The terminal device 1 includes a battery 11, a memory 12, a control unit 13, and a display unit 14.

  The battery 11 is one or a plurality of batteries. The battery is a so-called storage battery (also called a secondary battery or a rechargeable battery that can be used repeatedly by being charged) or a dry battery (also called a primary battery that can only discharge electric power). It is. When the battery 11 is a storage battery, the battery 11 may be an organic radical battery. Below, it demonstrates on the assumption that the battery 11 is a storage battery. The battery 11 is charged via a terminal device stock unit 21 of the information processing apparatus 2 described later.

  The memory 12 is one or more volatile memories or non-volatile memories. The memory 12 stores data input from the outside via the control unit 13. When the memory 12 is a volatile memory, the terminal device 1 may be configured such that the battery 11 is the only means for supplying power to the memory 12 and no other means is present. In this way, when power is supplied to the memory 12 for the amount of charge charged in the battery 11, the subsequent power supply is cut off, so the data stored in the memory 12 is erased. In this case, the terminal device 1 may not have a non-volatile memory for storing the data in addition to the volatile memory. In this way, if the power supply from the battery 11 is cut off, the data is completely deleted from the terminal device 1.

  The terminal device 1 includes a nonvolatile memory (not shown) that stores identification information (terminal device identification information) of the terminal device 1. Thereby, the identification information of the terminal device 1 is maintained even when the power supply is cut off. For example, which user uses which terminal device 1 by the information processing device 2 described later managing user identification information for identifying the user of the terminal device 1 and the identification information of the terminal device 1 in association with each other. Can be managed.

  Further, as described above, the battery 11 is charged via the terminal device stock unit 21 of the information processing apparatus 2 to be described later. At this time or before and after, the memory is stored via the terminal device stock unit 21. The data is written into 12.

  The display unit 14 is a display medium such as electronic paper or a display capable of displaying information. The display unit 14 has a function of displaying data stored in the memory 12. The display unit 14 may be a touch panel or the like, and can display the data written by the user on the display unit 14 using a dedicated pen, a finger, or the like superimposed on the already written data. Also good.

  The control unit 13 performs control for writing data input from the outside into the memory 12 and control for displaying the data written in the memory 12 on the display unit 14. Moreover, the control part 13 may perform control which starts charge of the battery 11 according to the charge instruction from the outside. Note that the terminal device 1 may further include a timer, and the control unit 13 may stop displaying data on the display unit 14 when a preset time has elapsed.

  The terminal device 1 can be used in place of paper material on which the content of a presentation used in a meeting or the like is printed. Therefore, the capacity of the battery 11 may be a capacity that allows the battery 11 to supply power to the memory 12 for the duration of the conference.

  In addition, what was mentioned above is an example of the terminal device 1, Comprising: The terminal device 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned structure.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 2 that performs processing such as charging the terminal apparatus 1 and writing data will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the information processing apparatus 2 has a function of acquiring data from a PC (Personal Computer) 3 or the like and writing the data to the terminal apparatus 1. The information processing apparatus 2 is, for example, a multifunction machine or the like obtained by improving a printing machine that performs printing on electronic paper in response to a printing instruction from the PC 3, but is not limited to the multifunction machine.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing device 2 includes a terminal device stock unit 21, a charging unit 22, a data conversion unit 23, a data writing unit 24, a data reading unit 25, a terminal device information acquisition unit 26, and a storage unit 27.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal device stock unit 21 has a stock region to which one or more terminal devices 1 can be connected, and connecting means (FIG. 16) with the terminal device 1 on the bottom surface or side surface of the stock region. See). The connection means includes, for example, a charging connector that supplies power to the terminal device 1 and a data connector for writing data to the terminal device 1. In this case, when the terminal device 1 is connected to the connection means, a detection unit (see FIG. 16) such as a contact sensor detects the connection, and the charging unit 21 supplies the battery 11 of the terminal device 1 via the charging connector. Start charging. Further, the data writing unit 21 starts data writing via the data connector. Further, the connecting means may include a specially shaped charging connector or data connector that is not standardized. In this case, the terminal device 1 may include a connector insertion port formed to engage with the special shape. By doing in this way, unless the terminal device 1 is connected to the connection means of the terminal device stock unit 21, the terminal device 1 can be configured so that charging to the terminal device 1 and writing of data cannot be performed. it can. Further, the connecting means may be configured to perform wireless charging instead of the charging connector. By configuring the connection means as described above, it is possible to charge the terminal device 1 and write data only when the terminal device 1 is connected to the terminal device stock unit 21.

  The terminal device stock unit 21 may be locked so that the terminal device 1 cannot be removed when the detection unit detects that the terminal device 1 is connected to the connection unit. In order to release the lock, the user may be authenticated by a user authentication unit 29 or the like described later.

  The charging unit 22 starts charging the battery 11 of the terminal device 1 when the terminal device 1 is connected to the terminal device stock unit 21. For example, as described above, the charging unit 22 may start charging the battery 11 of the terminal device 1 via the connection unit when the detection unit detects the connection between the terminal device 1 and the connection unit.

  The charging unit 22 may start charging the terminal device 1 only when there is an instruction to write data to the terminal device 1 from the PC 3 or the like. That is, the charging to the terminal device 1 is not started only by connecting the terminal device 1 to the terminal device stock unit 21, and the charging unit 22 is triggered by a data writing instruction from the PC 3 or the like to the terminal device 1. Charging to 1 may be started.

  The data conversion unit 23 has a function of converting the format of data acquired from the PC 3 into a predetermined format such as EPUB (Electronic Publication) in order to display data on the display unit 14 of the terminal device 1. However, the format is not particularly limited.

  The data writing unit 24 has a function of writing data in the format converted by the data conversion unit 23 to the terminal device 1. As described above, the charging unit 22 starts charging the battery when the detection unit detects that the connection unit and the terminal device 1 are connected, for example, but the data writing unit 24 Data writing processing is performed after the start of charging. In some cases, the user may connect the terminal device 1 to the terminal device stock unit 21 before the battery of the terminal device 1 is fully used. In such a case, the data writing unit 24 may be connected before the start of charging. Data writing processing may be performed. In addition, the data writing unit 24 may write data by using the detection unit to detect that the connection unit and the terminal device 1 are connected.

  Further, the data writing unit 24 associates the user identification information with the terminal device identification information, refers to a user information table (FIG. 5) described later, and determines the terminal device 1 identified by the terminal device identification information to Write to-be-written data corresponding to the user identification information.

  When the information processing device 2 is a multifunction device or the like, the data writing unit 24 may serially write data to the terminal device 1 as in the case of the current printing device. That is, when writing the write schedule data, the data writing unit 24 may acquire the write schedule data one by one from the user information table and sequentially write the data to the terminal device 1. In this case, the information processing apparatus 2 can be realized by diverting the current printing apparatus. Further, when the same writing scheduled data corresponds to a plurality of user identification information, the data writing unit 24 uses the writing scheduled data corresponding to each of the user identification information. You may write simultaneously in the terminal device 1 which has identification information. For example, taking FIG. 5 as an example, write-scheduled data A corresponds only to user identification information U1, while write-scheduled data B corresponds to user identification information U1 and U2. Therefore, when the write data B is written to the terminal device 1, the data writing unit 24, as shown in FIG. 8, the terminal device 1 of the terminal device identification information corresponding to the user identification information U1, and the user identification information The writing of the write-scheduled data B may be started simultaneously with the terminal device 1 having the terminal device identification information corresponding to U2. Note that the write-scheduled data does not necessarily have to be written at the same time, and the data write unit 24 may write the write-scheduled data so that at least a part of the writing time overlaps. For example, since the write-scheduled data C corresponds to the user identification information U1 and U3, the data writing unit 24 has the terminal device 1 of the terminal device identification information corresponding to the user identification information U1, as shown in FIG. Then, the writing schedule data C may be written to the terminal device 1 of the terminal device identification information corresponding to the user identification information U3 so as to have an overlap time.

  The data reading unit 25 has a function of reading data written in the terminal device 1 connected to the terminal device stock unit 21 and transferring the data to the PC 3 or a server device (not shown). As described above, when the display unit 14 is a touch panel or the like, there may be data newly written to the volatile memory 12 by the user. The data reading unit 25 reads the data written in the volatile memory 12 and transmits it to the PC 3 or the like. For example, the data reading unit 25 acquires the terminal device identification information stored in the nonvolatile memory of the terminal device 1, and refers to the terminal device / user correspondence table of FIG. Data can be transferred to the PC 3 or the like associated with the corresponding user identification information.

  The terminal device information acquisition unit 26 has a function of acquiring terminal device identification information of the terminal device 1 and information such as a charge amount of the terminal device 1 from the terminal device 1 connected to the terminal device stock unit 21. The terminal device information acquisition part 26 can grasp | ascertain the charge amount of the battery 11 by the existing method by acquiring parameters, such as the voltage of the battery 11 of the terminal device 1, and temperature, for example.

  The storage unit 27 stores the user information table shown in FIG. The user information table stores user identification information and write schedule data in association with each other. The user identification information is information for identifying a user, and may be, for example, an employee number or ID (IDentification) stored in an employee ID card held by the user, or used by the user. The identification information etc. which identify PC3 etc. may be sufficient. The scheduled write data is data scheduled to be written to the terminal device 1. The user information table is created as follows, for example. For example, the user inputs data to be written in advance to the PC 3 or the like, and the PC 3 or the like transmits the data and the user identification information to the information processing apparatus 2, and the control unit 28 or the like associates them with the user. A user information table is created by storing the information in the information table. Alternatively, the user information table may be created by associating the user identification information with the write-scheduled data with reference to the schedule table of FIG. 9 and the event information table of FIG.

The terminal device / user correspondence table stores terminal device identification information and user identification information in association with each other. The terminal device / user correspondence table may be created in advance by an administrator or the like, for example. That is, the administrator or the like may store the terminal device identification information and the user identification information in advance in the terminal device / user correspondence table in association with each other. In this case, the terminal device 1 used for every user is matched beforehand. The terminal device / user correspondence table may be created as follows. For example, the terminal device information acquisition unit 26 acquires terminal device identification information from the terminal device 1 connected to the information processing device 2 via a connection unit. Moreover, the control part 28 acquires user identification information from the user information table of FIG. Next, the data writing unit 24 associates the acquired terminal device identification information with the user identification information. The association method is not particularly limited, but the data writing unit 24 may associate the terminal device identification information and the user identification information at random, for example. Alternatively, the terminal device information acquisition unit 26 acquires the amount of charge of the battery 11 from the terminal device 1 connected via the connection means, and the data writing unit 24 has a predetermined charge amount or more based on the amount of charge. The terminal device 1 including the battery 11 may be associated with the user identification information. The predetermined charge amount may be, for example, the maximum charge amount of the battery 11. In this case, the data writing unit 24 includes the terminal device identification information and the user identification information of the terminal device 1 that has finished charging the battery 11. Will be associated.

  The control unit 28 has a function of controlling the entire information processing apparatus 2 and reading various programs and data from a recording medium (not shown) to a memory (not shown) to execute various processes.

Therefore, according to this Embodiment, the information processing apparatus 2 which can improve the convenience of a user etc. can be provided.

<Embodiment 2>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The storage unit 27 in the present embodiment stores the schedule table shown in FIG. The schedule table stores time information and events in association with each other for each user identification information. The time information is information indicating, for example, the time when the event starts (start time) and the time when the event ends (end time). An event is information for identifying an event such as a name of a meeting or the like. The information processing apparatus 2 acquires time information and events from the user via the PC 3 and stores them in the schedule table. The schedule table may be registered in advance in an external device or the like by the user, and the information processing device 2 may acquire the schedule table from the external device or the like.

  Further, the storage unit 27 stores the event information table of FIG. The event information table stores an event and write-scheduled data, which is data used by the user at the event, in association with each other. The information processing apparatus 2 acquires an event and write-scheduled data from the user via the PC 3 and stores it in the event information table. The event information table may be registered in advance in an external device or the like by a user, an administrator, or the like, and the information processing device 2 may acquire the event information table from the external device or the like.

  As described above, the storage unit 27 stores the time information and the write schedule data in association with each other for each user identification information by the schedule table and the event information table. In addition, the memory | storage part 27 may store the table which matches and memorize | stores time information and write plan data for every user identification information directly, without going through a schedule table and an event information table. . That is, the information processing device 2 acquires user identification information, time information, and write schedule data from a user, an external device, and the like, and directly transmits the time information and the write schedule data for each user identification information. The data may be stored in the storage unit 27 in association with each other.

  The data writing unit 24 in the present embodiment obtains time information from the PC 3 or the like, refers to the storage unit 27, and corresponds to time information in which the start time and the end time are included in the time indicated by the time information. The attached write schedule data is extracted, and the write schedule data is written in the terminal device 1. For example, the user inputs time information to the PC 3. For example, the time information includes a first time (for example, a data writing start time, an event start time, a current time, a time in the vicinity thereof) and a second time (for example, an event end time or in the vicinity thereof) as time information. Are input to the PC 3. The PC 3 transmits the first time and the second time to the information processing apparatus 2 together with the user identification information.

  Next, the control unit 28 specifies an event including a start time and an end time between the first time and the second time input by the user. For example, when the PC 3 that has transmitted the user identification information U1 transmits information of 10:30 as the first time and 11:40 as the second time, the control unit 28 refers to the schedule table, and An event whose identification information is U1 and includes a start time and an end time between 10:30 and 11:40 is specified. In this example, the conference β corresponds to the event.

  Next, the data writing unit 24 refers to the event information table, extracts the scheduled write data B corresponding to the conference β, and the terminal device 1 having the terminal device identification information associated with the user identification information U1. Write data B to be written.

  For example, the user may calculate the difference between the end time of the event and the current time and input the time directly to the PC 3 or the like as the time information. In this case, the information processing device 2 specifies an event including a start time and an end time between the current time and the time when the acquired time elapses, and writes the scheduled write data corresponding to the event to the terminal device 1 may be written.

  In addition, the data writing unit 24 writes data corresponding to an event in which at least one of the start time and the end time is included in the time indicated by the time information acquired from the PC 3 or the like as the scheduled write data to be written to the terminal device 1. Schedule data may be extracted and written to the terminal device 1. For example, in the above-described example, in addition to the conference β, the scheduled write data A corresponding to the conference α including the end time between the first time 10:30 and the second time 11:40, The data writing unit 24 may also write the scheduled write data C corresponding to the conference γ including the start time between the first time 10:30 and the second time 11:40 in the terminal device 1.

  When the first time is the current time, the information processing device 2 can directly acquire the current time from an internal or external clock or the like, and thus the user does not have to input the current time to the PC 3. .

  According to the present embodiment, since the storage unit 27 stores the scheduled write data and the time information including the start time and the end time in association with each user identification information, the data writing unit 24 can acquire time information from the outside, and can write to the terminal device 1 write schedule data associated with time information including a start time or an end time within the time indicated by the time information. Thus, according to the present embodiment, the user can write data to be used in an event held at the time to the terminal device 1 corresponding to his / her user identification information only by specifying the time.

<Embodiment 3>
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The storage unit 27 in the present embodiment further stores the following information as compared to the storage unit 27 described in the second embodiment.

  The storage unit 27 stores a time / charge amount correspondence table shown in FIG. The time / charge amount correspondence table associates the time (life time) when the battery 11 of the terminal device 1 supplies power to the memory 12 and the charge amount (for example, ampere hours or watt hours) for realizing the life time. And remember. The amount of charge is determined based on, for example, a relational expression measured in advance by an administrator or the like based on the current consumption of the display unit 14 or the like, the capacity of the battery 11, or the like. The time / charge amount correspondence table is stored in advance in the storage unit 27 by an administrator or the like.

  In addition, the charging unit 22 in the present embodiment determines the charge amount according to the time information associated with the write scheduled data that the data writing unit 24 writes to the terminal device 1, and only the amount of the charge Charging is performed on the battery 11 of the terminal device 1.

  The operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the user transmits user identification information, write schedule data, and time information to the information processing apparatus 2 via the PC 3 or the like (step S21). Further, the information processing apparatus 2 associates these pieces of information and stores them as, for example, the above-described schedule table and event information table (step S22). As described in the second embodiment, the user inputs a schedule in advance in a schedule table stored in another external device, and the information processing device 2 receives time information and an event corresponding to the user identification information from the external device. And you may get. Further, if the event information table is stored in advance in another external device, the information processing device 2 may acquire the event and the scheduled write data from the external device. In this manner, the information processing apparatus 2 stores the time information and the write schedule data in association with each other for each user identification information. The processing so far is the same as in the second embodiment.

  Next, the user transmits time information to the information processing apparatus 2 via the PC 3 or the like (step S23). This time information is, for example, the first time and the second time described in the second embodiment.

  When the information processing apparatus 2 acquires the time information, the control unit 28 refers to the schedule table, identifies an event that includes a start time and an end time within the time indicated by the time information, and sets the time of the event. Time is calculated based on the information. For example, when information of 10:30 as the first time and 11:40 as the second time is transmitted from the PC 3 of the user identification information U1 to the information processing apparatus 2, the control unit 28 refers to the schedule table. Thus, an event (conference β) that includes a start time and an end time between 10:30 and 11:40 is specified. In the case of this example, since the time indicated by the time information of the meeting β is 11:00 to 11:30, the control unit 28 calculates 30 minutes that is the difference between the end time and the start time. Next, the control unit 28 determines a charge amount corresponding to the time with reference to the time / charge amount correspondence table, and the charge unit 22 charges the battery 11 of the terminal device 1 by the charge amount ( Step S24). In the above example, the charging unit 22 charges the battery 11 with a charge amount corresponding to 30 minutes.

  Next, the data writing unit 24 writes the scheduled write data corresponding to the event in the terminal device 1 associated with the user identification information. In the above example, the data writing unit 24 writes the scheduled write data B corresponding to the conference β to the terminal device 1 having the terminal identification information associated with the user identification information U1. That is, the data writing unit 24 writes the write-scheduled data to the terminal device 1 having the terminal identification information associated with the user identification information (Step S25).

  By doing in this way, the charging unit 22 determines the charging amount according to the time information associated with the write schedule data that the data writing unit 24 writes to the terminal device 1, and charging for the charging amount is performed. Can be performed on the battery 11 of the terminal device 1. In step S24 described above, since it is assumed that the time when the charging unit 22 performs charging is immediately before the time when the event starts, the control unit 28 calculates 30 minutes as the event holding time. However, when the charging unit 22 performs charging from the current time, the control unit 28 may calculate a time obtained by adding the time from the current time to the event start time. Alternatively, when the charging unit 22 performs charging from a predetermined time before the event start time, the control unit 28 may calculate a time obtained by adding the predetermined time. The control unit 28 may determine the charge amount with reference to the time / charge amount correspondence table based on the time indicated by the time information acquired from the outside of the information processing apparatus 2 (such as the PC 3).

  In the above description, the information processing device 2 has acquired time information from the user in step S23, but the data writing unit 24 has scheduled write data corresponding to the event for all events stored in the schedule table. Is written in the terminal device 1, step S23 may be omitted.

  Another specific example of this embodiment will be described. First, the information processing device 2 stores time information and write-scheduled data in association with each other for each user identification information. As described above, this is performed, for example, when the information processing apparatus 2 acquires information corresponding to the data stored in the schedule table of FIG. 9 and the event information table of FIG. 10 from the PC 3 or an external apparatus. It is.

  Next, the user (hereinafter, the user identification information of the user is U1) inputs, for example, the current time 9:40 as the first time to the PC 3 and the second time as 11: Enter 30. The PC 3 transmits the time information together with the user identification information U1 to the information processing apparatus 2.

  The information processing apparatus 2 that has acquired the time information refers to the schedule table and searches for an event whose user identification information is U1 and includes a start time and an end time between time 9:40 and time 11:30. . In this example, conference α and conference β correspond to the event. Next, the information processing apparatus 2 calculates the holding times of the conference α and the conference β. In this example, since the meeting α is from 10:00 to 11:00 and the meeting β is from 11:00 to 11:30, the time is 1 hour 30 minutes. Next, the information processing apparatus 2 refers to the time / charge amount correspondence table and determines the charge amount corresponding to 1 hour 30 minutes.

  Next, the charging unit 22 charges the terminal device 1 having the terminal device identification information associated with the user identification information U1 for the determined charging amount. Then, the data writing unit 24 refers to the event information table and writes the scheduled write data corresponding to the conference α and the conference β to the terminal device 1.

  By doing in this way, since the battery 11 is charged so that the battery 11 is driven for the duration of the event in which the user participates, unauthorized use of the terminal device 1 can be prevented. In order to prevent the battery 11 from running out before the end of the event, the information processing apparatus 2 determines the charge amount based on the time from the current time to the event start time, You may charge. The time when the charging unit 22 performs charging may be set immediately before the time when the event starts. The control unit 28 may determine the charge amount with reference to the time / charge amount correspondence table based on the time indicated by the time information acquired from the outside of the information processing apparatus 2 (such as the PC 3). Further, when the data writing unit 24 writes the write-scheduled data corresponding to the events for all the events stored in the schedule table, the user does not need to specify time information. For example, in the above-described example, the charging unit 22 refers to the schedule table, and the terminal device 1 associated with the user identification information U1 has two hours (from 10:00 to 12:00) that is the holding time of all events. You may charge the charge amount corresponding to meeting α, β, γ). The information processing device 2 prevents unauthorized use by locking the connection means so that the terminal device 1 cannot be taken out from the terminal device stock unit 21 until just before the time when the event is started. May be.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to charge the battery 11 so that the user drives the terminal device 1 for a period of use. In particular, as described in the first embodiment, when the memory 12 of the terminal device 1 is a volatile memory, data is erased as soon as the battery 11 is exhausted and data can be surely prevented. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent unauthorized use of the terminal device 1 and to provide the information processing device 2 that is highly convenient for an administrator or the like.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that there are a plurality of terminal devices 1 having different charge amounts. For example, in a plurality of terminal devices 1, even when the maximum chargeable capacities of the batteries 11 built in the terminal devices 1 are equal to each other, charging the batteries 11 takes time. If the start time is different, the charge amount of the battery 11 of each terminal device 1 when measured at a certain time may be different. Moreover, in the some terminal device 1 which incorporates the battery 11 from which maximum chargeable capacity differs previously, the charge amount of the battery 11 incorporated in each terminal device 1 may differ. In addition, there may be a terminal device 1 having a battery 11 that is different from the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time described above. As described above, it is assumed that there are a plurality of terminal devices 1 having different charge amounts.

  In the above-described embodiment, the data writing unit 24 randomly associates the user identification information with the terminal device identification information of the terminal device 1. Or the data writing part 24 matched user identification information with the terminal device identifier of the terminal device 1 which incorporates the battery 11 more than predetermined charge amount. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the terminal device 1 includes the battery 11 having a charge amount determined according to the user identification information and the length of the event time associated with the user identification information stored in the schedule table. Are associated with the terminal information identification information. The event time associated with the user identification information stored in the schedule table is, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, in the case of user identification information U1, time information 10:00 to 11 corresponding to U1. : 00, 11: 00-11: 30, 11: 30-12: 00 All or part of the total time, that is, the time within 2 hours from 10:00 to 12:00. For example, the time information corresponding to the user identification information U1 may be two hours from 10:00 to 12:00, or one hour from 10:00 to 11:00 which is a part of the time information. good.

  The storage unit 27 in the present embodiment stores a terminal device / charge amount correspondence table shown in FIG. 13 in addition to the above-described table.

It is stored in association.

  The operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the terminal device information acquisition unit 26 of the information processing device 2 acquires the charge amount of each terminal device 1 from the plurality of terminal devices 1 connected to the connection means (step S31).

  Next, the control unit 28 refers to the time / charge amount correspondence table and the terminal device / charge amount correspondence table based on the time information associated with the user identification information, and the terminal device identification information and the user identification information. Are associated (step S32). Specifically, the control unit 28 refers to the schedule table and calculates the time described in the time information column for each user identification information. For example, according to the schedule table of FIG. 9, the events of conferences α, β, and γ are associated with the user identification information U1 from 10:00 to 12:00. Therefore, the control unit 28 calculates 2 hours, which is the time described in the time information column. Then, the control unit 28 refers to the time / charge amount correspondence table to determine the charge amount that can be supplied by the battery 11 for two hours, which is the calculated time. Here, the time information corresponding to the user identification information U1 is 2 hours, which is the holding time of all events corresponding to the user identification information U1, but the user can also specify a part of the time. For example, when the user of the user identification information U1 participates only in the meeting α, the user may specify the time from 10:00 to 11:00 via the PC 3 or the like. In that case, the control unit 28 calculates one hour from 10:00 to 11:00, and determines the amount of charge corresponding to the one hour. That is, as described in the third embodiment, the information processing apparatus 2 acquires time information from the user via the PC 3 or the like, and an event including an event start time or end time within the time indicated by the time information. The charge amount may be determined according to the holding time.

  Next, the control unit 28 refers to the terminal device / charge amount correspondence table, specifies the terminal device identification information of the terminal device 1 including the battery 11 charged with the determined charge amount, and the data writing unit. 24 associates the terminal device identification information with the user identification information.

  Then, the data writing unit 24 writes the write-scheduled data to the terminal device 1 having the terminal device identification information associated with the user identification information (Step S33). Specifically, in the above example, the events corresponding to the user identification information U1 stored in the schedule table are conferences α, β, and γ, so the data writing unit 24 refers to the event information table, Write scheduled data A, B, C is written to the terminal device 1. As described above, when the user designates the time from 10:00 to 11:00, the event at this time is the meeting α, so the data writing unit 24 writes the scheduled data A Is written to the terminal device 1.

  According to the present embodiment, when associating terminal device identification information with user identification information, it is possible to determine terminal device identification information to be associated with reference to the user's schedule. Therefore, according to this Embodiment, according to the time when a user uses the terminal device 1, the terminal device 1 provided with the battery 11 of suitable charge amount can be allocated to a user.
