[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The seat processing system according to this embodiment is a seat processing system that processes information about the relationship between people and seats in an office where people (e.g., employees) can freely choose a seat to sit in, a so-called free address office, etc.

[0021] The seat processing system 1 includes a personal information storage medium 2 configured to be carried by a person, an electronic device 3 configured to be portable by a person, a reading means 4 capable of reading personal information from the personal information storage medium 2, an electronic device identification means 5 that communicates with the electronic device 3, and a control unit 6. In this embodiment, the seat processing system 1 includes a display unit 9 that displays the results of the seat processing.

[0022] The personal information storage medium 2 is, for example, an IC card that can be used as an employee ID card. The personal information storage medium 2 stores personal information about the person who possesses the medium. In this embodiment, the personal information is a user code that indicates the person who possesses the medium 2, but it may also be the name of the person.

[0023] The electronic device 3 is, for example, a portable terminal such as a notebook computer, a smartphone, or a tablet. The electronic device 3 stores location information indicating a current location and owner information regarding a person who owns the electronic device. In this embodiment, the location information is location information obtained by a GPS, and specifically, the location information is indicated by longitude and latitude obtained by the GPS. The owner information is, for example, a user code indicating a person who owns the electronic device 3.

[0024] The reading means 4 is, for example, a card reader capable of reading an IC card. The reading means 4 is installed in each of a plurality of seating areas. The reading means 4 stores seat-related information indicating the seating area in which the reading means 4 is installed. The reading means 4 is configured to read personal information from the personal information storage medium 2, and output the read personal information and the seat-related information in association with each other.

[0025] In this embodiment, the seat area is a predetermined area centered on the longitude and latitude of the seat where the card reader is installed. If the card reader is installed at the entrance of a room, the seat area may be an area indicating the room where the card reader is installed.

[0026] The electronic device identification means 5 communicates with the electronic device 3 to acquire location information and owner information, and outputs the acquired location information and owner information in association with each other.

[0027] The control unit 6 is, for example, a server. The control unit 6 is also configured to include a processing unit 7 that performs seat processing to identify the actions of a person in a seat area indicated by the seat-related information, based on the personal information and seat-related information output by the reading means 4 and the position information and owner information output by the electronic device identification means 5. In this embodiment, the control unit 6 includes a storage unit 8.

[0028] The processing unit 7 includes, for example, a seating information generation unit 70 that performs seat processing based on the consistency between the personal information and seat-related information output by the reading means 4 and the location information and owner information output by the electronic device identification means 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, the seating information generating unit 70 performs, as seating processing, a seating process for identifying that a person carrying the personal information storage medium 2 is seated together with the electronic device 3 in the seat area indicated by the seat-related information output by the reading means 4. Furthermore, as seating processing, the seating information generating unit 70 generates seating information indicating that "a person carrying the personal information storage medium 2 is seated together with the electronic device 3 in the seat area indicated by the seat-related information output by the reading means 4." Furthermore, the seating information generating unit 70 outputs the generated seating information. The seating information is information in which position information, owner information, seat-related information, and personal information are associated with each other.

[0030] The storage unit 8 stores information related to seat processing by the processing unit 7. In this embodiment, the storage unit 8 stores the seating information output by the seating information generating unit .

[0031] The display unit 9 displays information related to the seat processing by the processing unit 7. In this embodiment, the display unit 9 performs seating display based on the result of the seating processing by the seating information generating unit 70. The display unit 9 is, for example, a display.

[0032] Specifically, the seating indication includes a position indication showing the seat where the employee is seated on the seating chart, and an identification indication for identifying the employee (e.g., the employee's name, the employee's affiliation, the employee's telephone number, etc.). Note that the display unit 9 may use different display colors (e.g., background color and text color) for each employee affiliation so that the employee affiliation can be easily identified.

[0033] The above series of processes of the seat processing system 1 will be explained with reference to Fig. 2. The flowchart in Fig. 2 shows a series of processes when the processing unit 7 performs seating processing as seat processing when an employee is seated with an electronic device 3 such as a laptop computer or a smartphone.

[0034] First, it is determined whether or not there is a linkage of location information when the power of the electronic device 3, such as a laptop computer or a smartphone carried by an employee, is turned on (step S01). In this embodiment, when the power of the electronic device 3 is turned on, the electronic device identification means 5 acquires the location information and owner information of the electronic device 3, associates the acquired location information and owner information, and outputs them to the processing unit 7 (specifically, the seating information generating unit 70), it is determined that there is a linkage of location information.

[0035] When the electronic device 3 is powered on and there is linkage of position information (Yes in step S01), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the seating information generating unit 70) acquires the position information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S02). In this embodiment, the reading means 4 reads personal information from the personal information storage medium 2, associates the read personal information with the seat-related information stored therein, and outputs it to the processing unit 7 (specifically, the seating information generating unit 70), and the processing unit 7 (specifically, the seating information generating unit 70) acquires the output information (associated information). In other words, the position information of the personal information storage medium 2 is, for example, information indicating that the employee ID card has been held up to a card reader provided in a specific seating area and read.

[0036] Next, it is determined whether or not there is consistency between the position information of the electronic device 3 such as a notebook computer or a smartphone and the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S03). In this embodiment, when the personal information and the owner information match and the position information is within the seat area indicated by the seat-related information, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the seating information generating unit 70) determines that there is consistency between the position information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card. Specifically, "when the position information is within the seat area indicated by the seat-related information" refers to when the position information (position information indicated by longitude and latitude) of the electronic device 3 by GPS is included within the seat area (for example, a predetermined area centered on the longitude and latitude of the seat where the reading means 4 is installed). Note that, when the seat area is an area indicating a room where a card reader is installed, it refers to when the position information of the electronic device 3 by GPS is included within the area of ​​this room.

[0037] When there is consistency in the position information between the electronic device 3 and the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (Yes in step S03), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the seating information generating unit 70) performs seating processing as seat processing, displays the seating status (step S04), and ends the processing. In this embodiment, the processing unit 7 stores the seating information in the storage unit 8 in addition to the seating processing and the seating status display.

[0038] When there is no linkage of position information due to the power supply of the electronic device 3 being turned on (No in step S01), the determination as to whether or not there is linkage of position information (step S01) is repeated.

[0039] Furthermore, when there is no consistency in the location information between the electronic device 3 and the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (No in step S03), it is determined whether a certain amount of time has passed since "the linking of location information by the power of the electronic device 3 being turned on (determination in step S01)" (step S05).

[0040] When the certain time has elapsed (Yes in step S05), the processing unit 7 causes the display unit 9 to display a message indicating that display is not possible (step S06).

[0041] If the certain period of time has not elapsed (No in step S05), the process returns to step S02, "processing for acquiring position information of personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card."

[0042] According to the above-described seat processing system 1, the processing unit 7 performs seat processing based on the personal information and seat-related information output by the reading means 4 and the location information and owner information output by the electronic device identification means 5. In other words, seat processing is performed based on information including not only personal information and seat-related information, which are information about a person, but also location information and owner information, which are information about the electronic device 3 owned by the person, so that the status of people and electronic devices 3 in the seating area can be managed.

[0043] In the seat processing system 1 of this embodiment, the status of people and electronic devices in the seating area can be managed based on the consistency between personal information and seat-related information, which are information about a person, and location information and owner information, which are information about the electronic devices 3 owned by the person (step S03 in Figure 2).

[0044] In addition, in the seat processing system 1 of this embodiment, the processing unit 7 identifies that a person has sat down together with the electronic device 3 through seating processing, so that it is possible to grasp that the person and the electronic device 3 are seated together. Furthermore, the display unit 9 performs a seating display, so that it is possible to visually grasp that the person and the electronic device 3 are seated together.

[0045] The seat processing system of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the configuration of one embodiment can be added to the configuration of another embodiment, or part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment. Furthermore, part of the configuration of one embodiment can be deleted.

[0046] For example, the processing unit 7 may perform, as the seat processing, an absence processing for identifying that a person carrying a personal information storage medium has left a seat in a seat area indicated by the seat-related information output by the reading unit 4. In this case, the seat processing system 1 may include a processing unit 7 including an absence information generating unit 71, as shown in Fig. 3. In this embodiment, the processing unit 7 includes a room information generating unit 72 in addition to the absence information generating unit 71.

[0047] In this embodiment, the absence information generating unit 71 performs, as the seat processing, an absence processing for identifying that a person identified as being seated in the seating processing has left the seat in the seating area identified as being seated in the seating processing. Specifically, as the absence processing, the absence information generating unit 71 generates absence information indicating that a person carrying the personal information storage medium 2 has left the seat together with the electronic device 3 in the seat area indicated by the seat-related information output by the reading means 4. Furthermore, the absence information generating unit 71 outputs the generated absence information.

[0048] The absence information is information indicating that an individual is away from the electronic device 3. Specifically, the absence information is information in which position information, owner information, seat-related information, and personal information are associated with each other.

[0049] As the seat processing, the room information generating unit 72 performs a room stay processing to identify that the person who has left the seat and the electronic device 3 are staying in the room area. Specifically, as the room stay processing, the room information generating unit 72 generates and outputs room information that is information in which seating information, seat-related information, and position information are associated with each other.

[0050] The storage unit 8 stores information related to the seat processing by the processing unit 7. In this embodiment, the storage unit 8 stores the absence information output by the absence information generating unit 71.

[0051] In this embodiment, the display unit 9 performs an absence display based on the result of the absence process by the absence information generating unit 71. Specifically, the absence display is a display in which the absence information is associated with the seat-related information included in the seating information.

[0052] In addition to displaying "away from the seat," the display unit 9 also displays a room, which indicates the approximate current location of an individual, based on the room information. Specifically, the room display is a display in which room-related information is associated with seat-related information included in the seating information, such as "First Meeting Room" or "Building 1, 8th Floor."

[0053] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 4. The flowchart in Fig. 4 shows a series of processes in which the processing unit 7 performs a leaving process as a seat process when an employee leaves his / her seat after the sitting process has been performed.

[0054] First, it is determined whether or not there is a linkage of location information due to the movement of electronic device 3 such as a laptop computer or smartphone carried by an employee (step S10). In this embodiment, the electronic device identification means 5 acquires the location information and owner information of the electronic device 3, associates the acquired location information and owner information, and outputs them to the processing unit 7 (specifically, absence information generating unit 71). When the previously acquired location information and the currently acquired location information differ, it is determined that there is a linkage of location information due to the movement of the electronic device 3.

[0055] Specifically, "the previously acquired location information is different from the currently acquired location information" means that the electronic device identification means 5, which stores map information of the company in advance, recognizes that the room including the previously acquired location information is different from the room including the currently acquired location information, or the difference between the longitude and latitude indicated by the previously acquired location information and the longitude and latitude indicated by the currently acquired location information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, etc. In either case, the electronic device identification means 5 replaces the currently acquired location information with the previously acquired location information and outputs it.

[0056] When the location information is linked due to the movement of the electronic device 3 (Yes in step S10), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the absence information generating unit 71) acquires the location information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S11). Note that the location information of the personal information storage medium 2 is, for example, information indicating that the employee ID card has been held up to a card reader provided in a specific seating area and read.

[0057] Next, it is determined whether or not there is consistency in the position information between the electronic device 3 such as a notebook computer or a smartphone and the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S12). In this embodiment, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the absence information generating unit 71) acquires seating information that matches the personal information from the storage unit 8, compares the currently acquired seat-related information and position information with the seating information (specifically, the seat-related information and position information in the seating information), and when the seat-related information and position information are different from the seating information and the position information is within the seat area indicated by the seat-related information, it is determined that there is consistency in the position information between the electronic device 3 and the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card.

[0058] When there is consistency in the location information between the electronic device 3 and the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (Yes in step S12), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the absence information generating unit 71) performs absence processing as seat processing, an absence display is displayed (step S13), and the processing ends. In this embodiment, in addition to the absence display, an occupied room display is performed. Furthermore, in addition to the absence processing and absence display, the processing unit 7 stores the absence information in the storage unit 8.

[0059] When there is no linkage of position information due to the movement of the electronic device 3 (No in step S10), the determination of whether there is linkage of position information due to the movement of the electronic device 3 (step S10) is repeated.

[0060] Furthermore, when there is no consistency in the location information between the electronic device 3 and the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (No in step S12), it is determined whether a certain amount of time has passed since "the linking of location information due to the movement of the electronic device 3 (determination in step S10)" (step S14).

[0061] If the certain time has elapsed (Yes in step S14), the processing unit 7 does not perform the leaving process or the leaving display (step S15), and ends the process.

[0062] If the certain period of time has not elapsed (No in step S14), the process returns to step S11, "processing for acquiring position information of personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card."

[0063] In the seat processing system 1 of the above embodiment, the processing unit 7 (the absence information generating unit 71) identifies that a person has left the seat by the absence processing, so that it is possible to know that a person has left the seat. Also, the display unit 9 displays the absence, so that it is possible to visually know that both the person and the electronic device 3 have left the seat.

[0064] Furthermore, in the seat processing system 1, the processing unit 7 (absence information generating unit 71) can determine that a person identified as being seated while carrying an electronic device 3 has left his / her seat, thereby making it possible to grasp that a person identified as being seated has left his / her seat.

[0065] The processing unit 7 may perform the leaving process after any process other than the taking seat process. For example, the processing unit 7 may determine that a person other than the "person identified as taking a seat while carrying the electronic device 3 by the taking seat process" has left the seat by the leaving process.

[0066] Furthermore, the processing unit 7 may perform a schedule execution process to identify that a schedule is being executed. In this case, the seat processing system 1 may include a personal information storage medium 2, an electronic device 3 that stores owner information about an owner and is capable of outputting schedule setting information, a reading means 4, and a control unit 6, as shown in Fig. 5. In this embodiment, the seat processing system 1 also includes a display unit 9. The seat processing system 1 also includes a schedule storage unit (not shown) in which schedule information about a person's schedule is stored.

[0067] The schedule storage unit is, for example, a schedule database, and stores schedule information such as person information, plan information, location information, and time information (such as start time information of a plan).

[0068] The control unit 6 is configured to include a schedule information acquisition means 10 that acquires schedule information of the person who owns the electronic device 3 from the schedule storage unit based on the schedule setting information output from the electronic device 3 and outputs the acquired schedule information, and a schedule execution information generation unit 73 that performs schedule execution processing to determine whether the schedule of the schedule information is being executed based on the personal information and seat-related information output by the reading means 4 and the schedule information output from the schedule information acquisition means 10.

[0069] In this embodiment, the electronic device 3 has owner information, schedule setting information (for example, conference setting information relating to a setting that a conference has started, that is, a conference is in progress), and transmission time information relating to the time when the schedule setting information was transmitted.

[0070] In this embodiment, the reading means 4 has read time information relating to the time when the personal information storage medium 2 is read, in addition to the seat-related information.

[0071] When the schedule information acquisition means 10 receives plan setting information (e.g., meeting setting information), it acquires schedule information (person information, plan information, location information, and time information (such as plan start time information)) of a person corresponding to the owner information (the person who owns the electronic device 3) from the schedule storage unit based on the transmission time information, and outputs the acquired schedule information.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the schedule execution information generating unit 73 acquires schedule information from the schedule information acquiring means 10, it acquires from the reading means 4 seat-related information and read time information corresponding to personal information related to the person information of the schedule information, and acquires seating information or absence information of the acquired personal information (owner information) from the storage unit 8. In addition, the schedule execution information generating unit 73 generates schedule execution information when the location information of the schedule information is within the seat area indicated by the seat-related information, and the start time information of the schedule information and the read time information match. That is, the schedule execution information generating unit 73 performs a schedule execution process to identify that the schedule of the schedule information is being executed, based on the personal information and seat-related information output by the reading means 4, and the person information, schedule information, location information, and time information (start time information, etc.) output by the schedule information acquiring means 10.

[0073] The schedule execution information is information indicating that an individual is in a location that matches the schedule. For example, if the schedule is a meeting, the schedule execution information is meeting setting information and sending time information indicating the time when the meeting was set.

[0074] The storage unit 8 stores information related to seat processing by the processing unit 7. In this embodiment, the storage unit 8 stores schedule execution information output by the schedule execution information generating unit 73. The schedule execution information is information associated with location information, owner information, seat-related information, and personal information.

[0075] In this embodiment, the display unit 9 performs a schedule execution display based on the result of schedule execution processing by the schedule execution information generating unit 73. The schedule execution display is a display in which schedule execution information (e.g., information about a meeting) is associated with seating information or absence information. In addition to the schedule execution display, the display unit 9 performs a schedule display based on schedule information. If the schedule is a meeting, the schedule display includes location information and time information (such as information about the start time of the schedule), etc.

[0076] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 6. The flowchart in Fig. 6 shows a series of processes in the case where the processing unit 7 performs a schedule execution process when a meeting is being held as a schedule set by an employee in the electronic device 3 after a seating process or a leaving process has been performed.

[0077] First, it is determined whether or not there is a schedule start notification such as a conference start notification from the electronic device 3 (step S20). In this embodiment, it is determined that there is a schedule start notification when the schedule setting information is output from the electronic device 3 to the schedule information acquisition means 10.

[0078] When there is a schedule start notification (Yes in step S20), the schedule information acquiring means 10 acquires schedule information from the schedule storage unit (step S21).

[0079] Next, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the schedule execution information generating unit 73) acquires the location information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S22), and determines whether there is consistency between the schedule information and the location information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S23).

[0080] When there is consistency between the schedule information and the position information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (Yes in step S23), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the schedule execution information generating unit 73) performs schedule execution processing, a schedule execution display is performed (step S24), and the processing ends. In this embodiment, the processing unit 7 stores the schedule execution information in the storage unit 8 in addition to displaying schedule execution (in a meeting, meeting room, to time).

[0081] When there is no scheduled start notification (No in step S20), the determination of whether there is a scheduled start notification (step S20) is repeated.

[0082] Moreover, when there is no consistency between the schedule information and the position information in the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (No in step S23), it is determined whether a certain time has passed since the schedule start notification (step S25).

[0083] When the certain time has elapsed (Yes in step S25), the processing unit 7 causes the display unit 9 to display a message indicating that display is not possible (step S26).

[0084] If the certain period of time has not elapsed (No in step S25), the process returns to the process of acquiring the position information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card in step S22.

[0085] In the seat processing system 1 of the above embodiment, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the schedule execution information generating unit 73) identifies that the schedule of the schedule information is being executed by the schedule execution processing, so that the owner of the electronic device 3 can know that the schedule is being executed. Also, the display unit 9 displays that the schedule is being executed, so that the owner of the electronic device 3 can visually know that the schedule is being executed.

[0086] Although the schedule information acquisition means 10 is included in the control unit 6, it may be configured not to be included in the control unit 6 (a configuration separate from the control unit 6).

[0087] The processing unit 7 may also perform a schedule end process to identify that the execution of the schedule has ended. In this case, as shown in Fig. 7, the seat processing system 1 may include a personal information storage medium 2, an electronic device 3, a reading means 4, an electronic device identification means 5, a control unit 6, and a schedule management means 11 that starts schedule management when schedule execution information is generated. In this embodiment, the seat processing system 1 includes a display unit 9. The seat processing system 1 also includes a schedule storage unit (not shown) in which schedule information related to a person's schedule is stored.

[0088] The schedule management means 11 obtains the schedule end time information of the corresponding schedule information from the schedule storage unit, and when the end time has passed, outputs progress information associated with the schedule information (person information, plan information, location information, time information (end time information, etc.)) to the processing unit 7.

[0089] When the schedule management means 11 outputs progress information, the planned end information generating unit 74 acquires the seat-related information of the personal information related to the person information of the schedule information (person information, plan information, location information, time information (end time information, etc.)) associated with the progress information and the location information of the owner information. In addition, when the seat-related information and the location information match and the location information of the schedule information does not exist within the seat area indicated by the seat-related information, the planned end information generating unit 74 generates planned end information based on the seat-related information. Furthermore, when the seat-related information and the seating information match, the planned end information generating unit 74 instructs the display unit 9 to display the seating based on the seating information, and when the seat-related information and the absence information match, the planned end information generating unit 74 instructs the display unit 9 to display the absence based on the absence information, and when there is neither seating information nor absence information, the planned end information generating unit 74 generates and displays new seating information. Furthermore, when the location information of the schedule information is within the seat area indicated by the seat-related information, the plan end information generating unit 74 continues the plan execution information (conference in progress information).

[0090] In this embodiment, the planned end information generating unit 74 instructs the display unit 9 to display the planned end based on the planned end information at the time when the planned end information is generated.

[0091] In this embodiment, the display unit 9 performs a scheduled end display based on the result of the scheduled end process by the scheduled end information generating unit 74. Furthermore, the display unit 9 performs a seated display, an away display, and a schedule in progress display as necessary.

[0092] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 8. The flowchart in Fig. 8 shows a series of processes in the case where the processor 7 displays the schedule end when the schedule has ended after the schedule execution process has been performed.

[0093] First, it is determined whether or not a scheduled end time, such as the end time of a scheduled conference, has passed (step S30). In this embodiment, when progress information is output from the schedule management means 11, it is determined that the scheduled end time has passed.

[0094] When the scheduled end time has passed (Yes in step S30), the electronic device specifying means 5 acquires and outputs the location information of the electronic device 3, such as a notebook computer or a smartphone (step S31).

[0095] Next, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the planned completion information generating unit 74) acquires the location information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S32), and determines whether there is consistency between the location information of the electronic device 3 such as a laptop or smartphone and the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S33).

[0096] When there is consistency in location information between an electronic device 3 such as a laptop or smartphone and a personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (Yes in step S33), a determination is made as to whether or not the person is in the conference room, that is, whether or not there is consistency between the schedule information and the location information of the electronic device 3 or personal information storage medium 2 (step S34).

[0097] When there is consistency between the schedule information and the location information of the electronic device 3 or the personal information storage medium 2 (Yes in step S34), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the scheduled end information generating unit 74) continues to display the schedule in progress, such as displaying a conference room (step S35), and the processing ends.

[0098] If the scheduled end time has not passed (No in step S30), the determination of whether or not the scheduled end time has passed (step S30) is repeated.

[0099] Furthermore, if there is no consistency between the schedule information and the location information of the electronic device 3 or the personal information storage medium 2 (No in step S34), it is determined whether the person is present at their desk, i.e., whether there is consistency between the seating information and the location information of the electronic device 3 or the personal information storage medium 2 (step S36). If there is consistency between the seating information and the location information of the electronic device 3 or the personal information storage medium 2 (Yes in step S36), the display unit 9 displays that the person is present at their desk (step S37), and the process ends. If there is no consistency between the seating information and the location information of the electronic device 3 or the personal information storage medium 2 (No in step S36), the display unit 9 displays that the person is absent (step S38), and the process ends.

[0100] Furthermore, if there is no consistency in the location information between the electronic device 3 and the personal information storage medium 2 (No in step S33), it is determined whether or not a certain amount of time has passed since the scheduled end time (output of the elapsed information) (step S39). If the certain amount of time has passed (Yes in step S39), the processing unit 7 causes the display unit 9 to display a message indicating that display is not possible (step S40), and the process ends. If the certain amount of time has not passed (No in step S39), the process returns to "process in which the electronic device identification means 5 acquires and outputs the location information of the electronic device 3" in step S31.

[0101] In the seat processing system 1 of the above embodiment, even after the schedule has ended, the status of people and electronic devices in the seat area can be managed by seat processing. Specifically, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the scheduled end information generating unit 74) identifies that the schedule in the schedule information has ended by the scheduled end processing, so that the owner of the electronic device 3 can know that the schedule has ended. In addition, the display unit 9 performs a scheduled end display (specifically, a seating process or a leaving process), so that the owner of the electronic device 3 can visually know that the schedule has ended.

[0102] Although the schedule management means 11 is not included in the control unit 6 (is a separate component from the control unit 6), it may be included in the control unit 6.

[0103] The processing unit 7 may also perform a cancellation request process to request cancellation of schedule setting by the electronic device 3. In this case, as shown in Fig. 9, the seat processing system 1 may include an electronic device 3 that stores owner information related to the owner and is capable of outputting schedule setting information, an electronic device specifying means 5, a control unit 6, a schedule management means 11, and an email sending unit 12. Note that the seat processing system 1 also includes a schedule storage unit (not shown) that stores schedule information related to the person's schedule.

[0104] In this embodiment, the electronic device 3 has electronic device information (for example, an email address of the electronic device 3) in addition to the location information and the owner information.

[0105] In this embodiment, the electronic device identification means 5 communicates with the electronic device 3 to obtain electronic device information in addition to the location information and owner information.

[0106] The control unit 6 is configured to include a cancellation request information generating unit 75 that performs cancellation request processing. When the schedule management means 11 determines that the end time has passed, the cancellation request information generating unit 75 performs cancellation processing for canceling the schedule setting of the electronic device 3. Specifically, as the cancellation processing, when the schedule management means 11 outputs the progress information, the cancellation request information generating unit 75 acquires the position information and electronic device information of the electronic device 3 corresponding to the owner information that matches the person information of the schedule information, and when the position information is not within the area indicated by the location information, performs processing to generate cancellation request information (for example, information associated with the owner information, electronic device information, and a setting cancellation command) indicating a request to cancel the setting of the schedule information.

[0107] The mail sending unit 12 sends a release request mail to the electronic device 3 based on the release request information.

[0108] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 10. The flowchart in Fig. 10 shows a series of processes in which the processing unit 7 performs a cancellation request process when the schedule has ended after the schedule execution process has been performed.

[0109] First, it is determined whether or not a scheduled end time, such as the end time of a scheduled conference, has passed (step S50). In this embodiment, when progress information is output from the schedule management means 11, it is determined that the scheduled end time has passed.

[0110] When the scheduled end time has passed (Yes in step S50), the electronic device specifying means 5 acquires and outputs the setting information and location information of the electronic device 3 such as a smartphone (step S51).

[0111] Next, it is determined whether or not the employee is no longer in the conference room, that is, whether or not there is a consistency between the completed schedule information and the location information of the electronic device 3 or personal information storage medium 2 (step S52).

[0112] When the telephone setting information indicates that a meeting is in progress and there is no consistency between the ended schedule information and the location information of the electronic device 3 (Yes in step S52), the cancellation request information generation unit 75 generates cancellation request information and requests the email sending unit 12 to send a cancellation request email (step S53), and the processing ends.

[0113] If the scheduled end time has not passed (No in step S50), the determination of whether or not the scheduled end time has passed (step S50) is repeated.

[0114] When there is consistency between the completed schedule information and the location information of the electronic device 3 (No in step S52), the process ends without transmitting a cancellation request email.

[0115] In the seat processing system 1 of the above embodiment, it is possible to perform a cancellation process when there is a failure to cancel the schedule setting of the electronic device 3. Specifically, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the cancellation request information generating unit 75) sends a setting cancellation email when the schedule ends, so that the owner of the electronic device 3 can recognize the failure to cancel the schedule setting and take action.

[0116] Although the schedule execution process when a meeting is being scheduled has been described with reference to Figs. 5 and 6, the schedule execution process may also be performed when a business trip or vacation is being scheduled. In this case, the seat processing system 1 may include an electronic device 3 that stores owner information about the owner and is capable of outputting schedule setting information, a control unit 6, and a schedule information acquisition means 10, as shown in Fig. 11. In this embodiment, the seat processing system 1 also includes a display unit 9. The seat processing system 1 also includes a schedule storage unit (not shown) in which schedule information about the person's schedule is stored.

[0117] First, a description will be given of the schedule execution process when a business trip is being executed as a schedule.

[0118] In this embodiment, the electronic device 3 has business trip notification information as schedule setting information in addition to owner information, and outputs the owner information and the business trip notification information.

[0119] When the schedule information acquisition means 10 acquires business trip notification information from the electronic device 3, it acquires business trip information (at least one of business trip destination information and business trip period information, and person information) from the schedule storage unit as schedule information related to the owner information, and outputs the business trip notification information in association with the schedule information.

[0120] When the schedule information acquisition means 10 outputs business trip notification information and schedule information, the plan execution information generation unit 73 acquires seating information, which is personal information related to personnel information, and when at least one of business trip destination information and business trip period information is present, acquires this information and generates plan execution information for displaying the plan execution status based on the information.

[0121] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 12. The flowchart in Fig. 12 shows a series of processes when the processing unit 7 performs processing during the execution of a schedule when an employee is executing a business trip as a schedule set in the electronic device 3.

[0122] First, it is determined whether or not there is a schedule start notification such as a business trip notification from the electronic device 3 (step S60). In this embodiment, it is determined that there is a schedule start notification when the schedule setting information is output from the electronic device 3 to the schedule information acquisition means 10.

[0123] When there is a schedule start notification (Yes in step S60), the schedule information acquisition means 10 acquires schedule information (specifically, business trip information) from the schedule storage unit (step S61).

[0124] Next, it is determined whether or not at least one of business trip destination information and business trip period information is included in the schedule information (business trip information) (step S62).

[0125] Next, when the schedule information (business trip information) contains at least one of business trip destination information and business trip period information (Yes in step S62), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the plan execution information generating unit 73) acquires at least one of the business trip destination information and business trip period information (step S63), performs a business trip process as a plan execution process, and displays "on business trip" as a plan execution display (step S64), and the process ends. In this embodiment, the processing unit 7 deletes the seated display when performing the business trip process.

[0126] When there is no scheduled start notification (No in step S60), the determination of whether there is a scheduled start notification (step S60) is repeated.

[0127] When the schedule information (business trip information) does not include at least one of the business trip destination information and business trip period information (No in step S62), business trip processing is performed as the scheduled execution processing, and the business trip display is displayed as the scheduled execution display (step S64), and the processing ends.

[0128] Next, a schedule execution process when a vacation is being executed as a schedule will be described.

[0129] In this embodiment, the electronic device 3 has vacation notification information as schedule setting information in addition to owner information, and outputs the owner information and the vacation notification information.

[0130] When the schedule information acquisition means 10 acquires vacation notification information from the electronic device 3, it acquires vacation information (vacation period information and person information) from the schedule storage unit as schedule information related to the owner information, and outputs the vacation notification information in association with the schedule information.

[0131] When the schedule information acquiring means 10 outputs vacation notification information and schedule information, the schedule execution information generating unit 73 acquires seating information of personal information related to personnel information, and when vacation period information is available, acquires this information and generates schedule execution information for displaying schedule execution based on the information.

[0132] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 13. The flowchart in Fig. 13 shows a series of processes when the processing unit 7 performs a process during the execution of a schedule when an employee is executing a vacation as a schedule set in the electronic device 3.

[0133] First, it is determined whether or not there is a schedule start notification, such as a vacation notification, from the electronic device 3 (step S70).

[0134] When there is a schedule start notification (Yes in step S70), the schedule information acquiring means 10 acquires schedule information (specifically, vacation information) from the schedule storage unit (step S71).

[0135] Next, it is determined whether or not at least one piece of vacation period information is present in the schedule information (vacation information) (step S72).

[0136] Next, when at least one of the vacation period information is present in the schedule information (vacation information) (Yes in step S72), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the plan execution information generating unit 73) acquires this vacation period information (step S73), performs vacation processing as the plan execution processing, and displays "vacation" as the plan execution display (step S74), and the processing ends. In this embodiment, the processing unit 7 deletes the seated display when performing the vacation processing.

[0137] When there is no scheduled start notification (No in step S70), the determination as to whether there is a scheduled start notification (step S70) is repeated.

[0138] If there is no vacation business trip period information in the schedule information (vacation information) (No in step S72), vacation processing is performed as the schedule execution processing, and vacation display is performed as the schedule execution display (step S74), and the processing ends.

[0139] Furthermore, the processing unit 7 may perform location processing to identify the location of an employee when a schedule is canceled after performing the schedule execution processing for a meeting, a business trip, or a vacation shown in Figures 5, 6, and 11 to 13. In this case, the seat processing system 1 may include a personal information storage medium 2, an electronic device 3 that stores owner information about an owner and has schedule cancellation notification information, a reading means 4, and a control unit 6, as shown in Figure 14. In this embodiment, the seat processing system 1 also includes a display unit 9.

[0140] The control unit 6 includes a location information generating unit 76 that, upon receiving the owner information and the schedule cancellation notification information from the electronic device 3, obtains seat-related information of the personal information related to the owner information and generates location information based on the seat-related information. The location information is information based on the seat-related information indicating the reading position of the personal information storage medium 2, and is information indicating the location of the owner of the personal information storage medium 2.

[0141] In this embodiment, the display unit 9 displays the location based on the location information generated by the location information generating unit 76.

[0142] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 15. The flowchart in Fig. 15 shows a series of processes when an employee sets the electronic device 3 to cancel the schedule after the schedule execution process has been performed.

[0143] First, it is determined whether or not there is a schedule cancellation notification from the electronic device 3 regarding a schedule such as a meeting, a business trip, or a vacation (step S80). In this embodiment, it is determined that there is a schedule cancellation notification when schedule cancellation notification information is output from the electronic device 3 to the processing unit 7 (specifically, the location information generating unit 76).

[0144] When a schedule cancellation notification is received (Yes in step S80), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the location information generating unit 76) acquires the location information of the personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S81), generates room information from this location information, and the room is displayed (step S82), and the processing ends.

[0145] If there is no schedule cancellation notification (No in step S80), the determination as to whether there is a schedule cancellation notification (step S80) is repeated.

[0146] In the seat processing system 1 of the above embodiment, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the location information generating unit 76) generates location information, which allows the location to be known where the owner of the electronic device 3 has moved to after finishing a schedule to be known. Also, the display unit 9 displays the room, which allows the location to be known visually where the owner of the electronic device 3 has moved to after finishing a schedule to be known.

[0147] Furthermore, when an employee leaves his / her seat after performing the schedule execution process for a meeting, a business trip, or a vacation shown in Figs. 5, 6, 11 to 13 (for example, when an employee moves to a meeting or the like without a PC or a telephone), the processing unit 7 may perform a leave process and a notification process to prompt the employee to correct the telephone setting if the telephone setting is left set to "in a meeting", "on a business trip", or "on vacation" and the setting has not been cancelled. In this case, the seat processing system 1 may include a personal information storage medium 2, an electronic device 3 having schedule setting information and storing owner information about the person who owns the electronic device, a reading means 4, an electronic device identification means 5, and a control unit 6, as shown in Fig. 16. The seat processing system 1 also includes a schedule storage unit (not shown) in which schedule information about the person's schedule is stored. In this embodiment, the seat processing system 1 also includes a display unit 9 and an email transmission unit 12.

[0148] The control unit 6 includes an absence information generating unit 71 and a release request information generating unit 75 that performs a release request process.

[0149] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 17. In this embodiment, a series of processes when an employee has finished a plan such as a meeting, a business trip, or a vacation is shown.

[0150] First, it is determined whether a certain amount of time has elapsed since the electronic device 3 performed a schedule execution process for a schedule such as a meeting, a business trip, or a vacation (step S90).

[0151] When a certain amount of time has elapsed since the scheduled execution processing (Yes in step S90), the processing unit 7 acquires the location information of a personal information storage medium 2 such as an employee ID card (step S91), and the electronic device identification means 5 acquires the location information of an electronic device 3 such as a laptop or smartphone (step S92).

[0152] Next, the processing unit 7 judges whether or not there is consistency between the position information of the electronic device 3, such as a notebook computer or a smartphone, and the position information of the personal information storage medium 2, such as an employee ID card (step S93).

[0153] When the location information of the electronic device 3 and the personal information storage medium 2 is consistent (Yes in step S93), the processing unit 7 obtains schedule setting information from the electronic device 3 (step S94) and determines whether the schedule setting information indicates a meeting, a business trip, or a vacation (step S95).

[0154] When the schedule setting information indicates a meeting, a business trip, or a vacation (Yes in step S95), the cancellation request information generation unit 75 generates cancellation request information and requests the email sending unit 12 to send a cancellation request email to the electronic device 3 (a notebook computer or a smartphone) (step S96), and the process ends.

[0155] When the fixed time has not elapsed since the scheduled execution process (No in step S90), the determination of whether or not the fixed time has elapsed (step S90) is repeated.

[0156] Furthermore, when there is no consistency in the location information between the electronic device 3 and the personal information storage medium 2 (No in step S93), the display unit 9 displays "Away" (step S97), obtains schedule setting information from the electronic device 3 (step S94), and proceeds to determine whether the schedule setting information indicates in a meeting, on a business trip, or on vacation (step S95), and if necessary, requests the email sending unit 12 to send a cancellation request email to the electronic device 3 (notebook computer or smartphone) (step S96), and the process ends.

[0157] In the seat processing system 1 of the above embodiment, after the owner of the electronic device 3 finishes his / her schedule, the status of the owner can be grasped by displaying an absence indication. Also, if the setting of the smartphone as the electronic device 3 is left set to "in a meeting", "on a business trip", or "on vacation" and the setting of the telephone is not cancelled, the email sending unit 12 can send a cancellation request email to the electronic device 3 (notebook computer or smartphone) to prompt the owner to correct the setting of the telephone.

[0158] The processing unit 7 may perform absence processing to identify that an employee is absent when the power of the electronic device 3, such as a laptop computer or a smartphone, is turned off. In this case, the seat processing system 1 may include an electronic device 3 that stores owner information about the owner and has power-off information, an electronic device identification means 5 that communicates with the electronic device 3 to acquire the owner information and the power-off information, and a control unit 6, as shown in Fig. 18. In this embodiment, the seat processing system 1 also includes a display unit 9.

[0159] The control unit 6 includes an absence information generating unit 77 that generates absence information when the owner information and the power OFF information are acquired.

[0160] In this embodiment, the display unit 9 displays an absence indication based on the absence information generated by the absence information generating unit 77.

[0161] A series of processes of the seat processing system 1 in such a case will be described with reference to Fig. 19. The flowchart in Fig. 19 shows a series of processes when an employee turns off the power of the electronic device 3 after the seating process has been performed.

[0162] First, it is determined whether or not there is a power OFF notification from the electronic device 3 (step S100). In this embodiment, when the power of the electronic device 3 is turned off, the electronic device identification means 5 acquires owner information of the electronic device 3, and outputs a power OFF notification in association with the acquired owner information to the processing unit 7 (specifically, the absence information generating unit 77).

[0163] When there is a power OFF notification (Yes in step S100), the processing unit 7 (specifically, the absence information generating unit 77) generates absence information, an absence display is performed (step S101), and the process ends.

[0164] When there is no power OFF notification (No in step S100), the determination of whether there is a power OFF notification (step S100) is repeated.

[0165] In the seat processing system 1 of the above embodiment, the processing unit 7 (specifically, the absence information generating unit 77) generates absence information, so that it is possible to know that the power of the electronic device 3 has been turned off and the owner is absent. Also, the display unit 9 displays the occupancy room, so that it is possible to visually know that the power of the electronic device 3 has been turned off and the owner is absent.

[0166] In the above embodiment, when the processing unit 7 performs seat processing, the seat processing system 1 displays information based on the results on the display unit 9, but such display is not necessary. In that case, for example, the seat processing system 1 may output information related to seat processing when a request is received. [Explanation of symbols]
