Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the trouble that a user of any work station can not utilize schedule information unless a server which controls the schedule information on users of respective work stations of a network system is in operation. CONSTITUTION:Each work station is provided with a schedule information storage part 6 and the schedule information is stored and updated. To know schedule information on a user of another work station, a transfer request is sent to the opposite work station. The information control part 2 of the work station which receives the transfer request knows the user name from the address of the request source through an address control part 3, checks whether or not the schedule information may be transferred to the request source user through an access right control part 4, and reads the schedule information out of a schedule information storage part 6 and transfers it.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a schedule information management system, in particular, a network system in which a plurality of personal use workstations are connected to a common bus. Information management method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a schedule information management system of this type has a plurality of workstations 1 on a common bus 10 as shown in FIG.
In addition to connecting Nos. 2 and 13, a specific server 11 is connected, schedule information is input from each workstation to the server 11, and the server 11 centrally manages schedule information of all workstations. Then, it responds to the inquiry from each workstation.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional schedule information management system, since a specific server manages the schedule information of all workstations, this server is in operation by neglecting to turn on the power. Otherwise, there is a problem that the schedule information of any workstation cannot be used by all workstations.

[0004]

The schedule information management system of the present invention is a schedule information management system of a network system in which a plurality of personal use workstations are connected to a common bus. Schedule information storage means for storing information, address management means for storing the correspondence between the address of the workstation in the network system and the user, and mutual conversion, and an access right for judging whether or not the transfer destination of the own schedule information is possible. Management means, and obtains the address of the workstation of the other user through the address management means from the input of the name of the other user and the request for the schedule information, and sends the transfer request of the schedule information to this address. And the workstation that received this transfer request The user knows the user name of the address to which the transfer request is sent via the address management means, determines whether the transfer to this user name is possible via the access right management means, and if the transfer is possible, the schedule It is configured by reading the schedule information from the information storage means and transferring this schedule information to the workstation that has made the transfer request.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
The embodiment of FIG. 1 shows schedule information management means provided in a distributed manner in each work station, and includes an input / output device 1, an information control unit 2, an address management unit 3, and the like.
The access right management unit 4, the read / write control unit 5, the schedule information storage unit 6, and the transmission / reception unit 7 are included.

In the above configuration, the input / output device 1 is means for inputting schedule information of the own workstation, requesting transfer of schedule information of another workstation, and displaying schedule information from another workstation. The address management unit 3 is means for storing the correspondence between the user name of the workstation connected to the common bus 10 and the address on the network, and performing mutual conversion. The access right management unit 4 is a means for determining whether or not a partner who can transfer the schedule information is requested. The read / write control unit 5 is means for writing or reading the schedule information in the schedule information storage unit 6. The transmission / reception unit 6 transmits / receives information to / from the common bus 10. The information control unit 2 is a means for controlling the above functions.

The operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described below. By inputting schedule information from the input / output device 1 and giving a schedule update instruction, the information control unit 2 controls reading / writing of the input schedule information. The schedule information is stored in the schedule information storage unit 6 via the unit 5. At this time, the schedule information already stored is deleted.

On the other hand, by inputting the user name of another workstation from the input / output device 1 and giving a schedule transfer instruction, the information control unit 2 sends the input user name to the address management unit 3 for use. Get the workstation's workstation address. Next, the information controller 2 causes the transceiver 7 to
Send a schedule information transfer request to the workstation at the obtained address.

When the workstation having the designated address receives the schedule information transfer request, the information control unit 2 of the workstation gives the address of the request source included in the transfer request to the address management unit 3 to request the request source. Get user name. Next, the user name is given to the access right management unit 4 to determine whether or not the schedule information can be transferred. If the result of the determination is yes, the stored schedule information is read from the schedule information storage unit 6 via the read / write control unit 5, and the schedule information is transferred via the transmission / reception unit 7 to the workstation at the request source address. Let

In the workstation that has transmitted the schedule information transfer request, when the schedule information is transferred, the information control unit 2 determines that it is a reply and outputs this schedule information to the input / output device 1.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, the schedule information of the workstations in the network system is held in each workstation, and the schedule information of the workstation desired by each workstation is transferred from the workstation. By doing so, even if a specific workstation is not operating, there is an effect that the schedule information can be used if the target workstation is operating.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a schedule information management method for a network system in which a plurality of personal use workstations are connected to a common bus, a schedule information storage means for storing the input schedule information in each workstation and an internal network system. Has the address management means for storing the correspondence between the workstation address and the user and converting each other, and the access right management means for judging whether or not the transfer destination of the own schedule information is available. From the input of the request for information, the address of the workstation of the other user is obtained through the address management means, the schedule information transfer request is transmitted to this address, and the workstation receiving the transfer request receives A transfer request was sent via the management means Knowing the user name of the address, determining whether or not transfer to this user name is possible via the access right management means, and if transfer is possible, read the schedule information from the schedule information storage means and read this schedule information. A schedule information management method characterized by transferring to a workstation that requested transfer.
