(Operation)
Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the management software in the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, a user, for example, “Taro Fuji” can communicate with the management software 20 by accessing the server 1 from the Tokyo via the Internet 4 using the web browser of the PC 2. When creating a new schedule object, first, a predetermined operation is executed on the management software 20 and the object creation means 20a is called to display the schedule creation screen 22A shown in FIG.

  First, on the schedule creation screen 22A, desired numerical values are input to the date input unit 221, the time input unit 222, and the title input unit 223. Here, for example, “December 7, 2007” is input to the date input unit 221, and “10: 00-12: 00” is input to the time input unit 222 as the time zone. Here, the time zone input to the time input unit 222 indicates the time in the time zone of the calendar data 21b associated with the input user, that is, the user 220 to be used, and the “Tokyo head office calendar”.

  Next, by selecting the participant setting button 224, the object creation means 20a of the management software 20 accesses the user DB 21 and displays a user list registered in the user data 21a on a separate screen (not shown). Next, by selecting a desired user from the user list, the object creating unit 20a of the management software 20 displays the user selected from the user data 21a on the participant display unit 225. Here, “Fujitaro” who is the user 220 selects and adds “Wangfeng” who uses PC3 in Shanghai.

  In addition, the time zone comparison unit 20b of the management software 20 acquires the calendar data 21b of the calendar associated with the selected user attribute and participates in comparison with the time zone of the user 220 that is input to the time input unit 222. The person display unit 225 displays the time in the user's 220 time zone. Here, since “Taro Fuji” is 220 users, “10: 00-12: 00”, which is the same time as the time input in the time input unit 222, is displayed. Since it has “Shanghai branch calendar” which is the calendar data 21b of China as its property and its time zone is “(GMT + 08: 00) Beijing, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Urumqi”, the time difference from the time zone of the user 220 used is 1 hour "9: 00-11: 00: 00" is displayed.

  Next, by selecting the equipment setting button 226, the object creation means 20a of the management software 20 accesses the user DB 21 and displays the equipment list registered in the equipment data 21c on a separate screen (not shown). Next, by selecting a desired facility from the facility list, the object creation unit 20a of the management software 20 displays the facility selected from the facility data 21c on the facility display unit 227. Here, “the head office 303 conference room” in Tokyo and “the Shanghai branch office 111 conference room” in Shanghai are selected and added.

  The time zone comparison means 20b of the management software 20 acquires calendar data 21b of a calendar associated with the selected equipment attribute, and compares the equipment with the time zone of the user 220 used in the time input unit 222. The display unit 227 displays the time in the equipment time zone. Here, “Head Office 303 meeting room” has “Tokyo head office calendar” which is Japanese calendar data 21b as a property, and is the same as the time zone of the user 220, so it is the same as the time input to the time input unit 222. “10: 00-12: 00” is displayed, and “Shanghai 111 conference room” has “Shanghai branch calendar”, which is Chinese calendar data 21b, as its property, and its time zone is “(GMT + 08: “00) Beijing, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Urumqi”, so that “9: 00-11: 00: 00” is displayed in consideration of the time difference of 1 hour from the time zone of the user 220 used.

  Next, by selecting the apply button 229, the object creation means 20a of the management software 20 schedules using the values input on the schedule creation screen 22A, user data 21a, calendar data 21b, and equipment data 21c. Create an object. Note that by selecting the cancel button 230, the value input on the schedule creation screen 22A is cleared.

  Further, by selecting the available time confirmation button, the object presenting means 20c of the management software 20 is based on the values input to the schedule creation screen 22A, the user data 21a, the calendar data 21b, and the equipment data 21c. The schedule confirmation screen 22B shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. In view of the time zones of the users “Taro Fuji” and “Omine”, the schedule 233 is displayed so as to be the same time by shifting the time zone. Similarly, the time zones of the “head office 303 meeting room” and the “Shanghai branch office 111 meeting room” which are the facilities are taken into consideration and the time zones are shifted and displayed simultaneously.
