Abstract

In the present invention, a control section of a CRM server performs editing processing for TPO (the time, the place, and the occasion) requirements. Next, a control section of a TPO server registers the TPO requirements in order to convert the same to TPO definitions. Then, the control section performs setting processing for the TPO definitions. A portable terminal identifies the current location and the current time. Then, a control section verifies TPO definition state transitioning. If transitioning of the TPO definition state is detected, the control section performs TPO definition state transition notification processing. The control section of the portable terminal performs individual control processing on the basis of the TPO definitions.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a storage means configured to register an event definition template containing operational control information for controlling an operation of controlled equipment for a schedule-registered event type; and

an event managing means configured to perform setting for controlling the operation of the controlled equipment, wherein

the event managing means

acquires an event requirement defined by an event place, an event period, and an event participant for the schedule-registered event type,

identifies an event definition template corresponding to the schedule-registered event type in the storage means, and

generates an event definition for controlling a controlled equipment used by the event participant in the event place and the event period,

wherein the event definition is based on operational control information in the identified event definition template.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein security area operational control information associated with information for identifying security-ensured place and non-security area operational control information associated with information for identifying security-unensured place are initially set in the controlled equipment.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein operational control information on the event place and a period related to the event period for the schedule-registered event type is set in the event definition template.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein in the case where an event group consisting of a plurality of predetermined correlated events occurring in a certain period is identified, based on operational control information of one or some of the events in the event group, the event managing means modifies operational control information of other events in the event group.

5. A system comprising:

a storage means configured to register an event definition template containing operational control information for controlling an operation of controlled equipment for a schedule-registered event type; and

an event managing means configured to perform setting for controlling the operation of the controlled equipment, wherein

the event managing means

acquires an event requirement defined by an event place, an event period, and an event participant for the schedule-registered event type,

identifies an event definition template corresponding to the schedule-registered event type in the storage means,

identifies the controlled equipment used by the event participant corresponding to the event requirement, and

sets an event definition to the controlled equipment for an event condition including the event place and the event period as elements,

wherein the event definition is based on the operational control information in the identified event definition template.

6. A system comprising:

a controlled equipment,

a storage means configured to register an event definition template containing operational control information for controlling an operation of the controlled equipment for a schedule-registered event type; and

an event managing means configured to perform setting for controlling the operation of the controlled equipment, wherein

the controlled equipment used by an event participant corresponding to an event requirement defined by an event place, an event period, and the event participant for the schedule-registered event type,

identifies a current state including current location and current date and time,

compares the current state with an event definition based on the operational control information in an event definition template corresponding to an event type in the storage means for an event condition including the event place and the event period as elements, and

controls the operation of the controlled equipment based on the operational control information according to a comparison result.

7. The system according to claim 6, wherein

in the case where a mismatch is partially present in the comparison result of the current state and the event condition, the controlled equipment executes security checking processing for checking content of the mismatch, and

in the case where it is determined that the content of the mismatch has no problem in the security checking processing, the operation of the controlled equipment is controlled based on operational control information applied in the case where no mismatch is present in the comparison result.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein in the case where the content of the mismatch falls within a predetermined allowable range, the security checking processing is executed.

9. The system according to claim 6, wherein

the controlled equipment is connected to a file server that stores a file used in the event via a network,

the event requirement includes a file identifier of the file used in the event,

file access authority in the event requirement is set in the operational control information,

the controlled equipment

before the event period, acquires the file having the file identifier included in the event requirement from the file server, and stores the file in a temporary storage means in the controlled equipment, and

according to the comparison result, allows access to the file stored in the temporary storage means based on the access authority set in the operational control information.

10. The system according claim 9, wherein

the temporary storage means of the controlled equipment is provided with a folder corresponding to access authority, and

the controlled equipment

stores the file used in the event in the folder corresponding to access authority set in the event requirement, and

allows access to the folder based on access authority set in the operational control information.

11. The system according claim 9, wherein when detecting leaving from the event place or termination of the event period according to the comparison result, the controlled equipment deletes the file stored in the temporary storage means.

12. The system according to claim 6, wherein

the operational control information includes an application identifier of an application, and

the controlled equipment controls the operation of the application having the application identifier included in the operational control information according to the comparison result.

13. The system according to claim 6, wherein

the operational control information includes a waiting time taken to activate a security lock of the controlled equipment, and

the controlled equipment activates the security lock based on the waiting time included in the operational control information according to the comparison result.
