Space-time communication system
First Claim
1. A space-time communication system having a control device operative to send a message toward at least one of target subjects existing within a geographical space, wherein said control device performs:
- receiving a space, a future time point and a message assignment;
using said space and said future time point to specify a constituent space at a future time;
specifying a target subject which is estimated to exist in the future-time space; and
sending said message to the subject thus specified.

Abstract
A technique for performing message communications while assigning a space and respective time periods or time points at present, in past and in future is disclosed. A space-time object intercepts a message. Alternatively, this object per se executes the processing for immediately transmitting a message to a target object under management with relevancy thereto, for retaining the message by a future time point assigned, or for preparing and sending a message for searching logs in the past, thereby to realize the space-time communications.

5. A space-time communication system having a control device operative to send a message toward at least one of target subjects existing within a geographical space, wherein said control device performs:
-
receiving a space, a past time point and a message assignment; using said space and said past time point to specify a constituent space at a past time; specifying a target subject which is judged to have been existed in the past-time space; and sending said message to the subject specified. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13)

14. A space-time communication system having a control device operative to send a message toward at least one of target subjects existing within a geographical space, said control device performing:
-
receiving a space, a time point or time period, and a message assignment; using said space and said time point or time period to specify a constituent space of time; and sending said message to more than one subject existing in the specified space-time, wherein said subject with said message sent thereto determines whether this subject per se is a transmission destination of said message, said subject with said message sent thereto which has determined it is the transmission destination returns to said control device a response in reply to said message. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
