Abstract

An object move processing apparatus, an object move processing method, and a medium recorded with an object move processing program, in a store-and-forward type of electronic conference system, in which an object creation processing and an object deletion processing are independently performed when an object move operation has been performed between different hierarchy structures, to thereby obtain a result substantially same with an object-move processing, so that the object move processing can be correctly performed regardless of a move sequence of information transmission.

Claims

1. An object move processing apparatus in a store-and-forward type of electronic conference system having information administrating means each of which is constituted to include registration means for registering grouped objects in a hierarchy structure, operational-information creation means for creating an operational-information when a move operation of an object-to-be-moved registered in the registration means is performed, and operational-information processing means for performing a move processing of the object-to-be-moved based on the operational-information, when the operational-information processing means processes the operational-information after receiving the same, in which, the operational-informations are stored in the information administrating means and the stored operational-informations are batch transmitted between the information administrating means;

wherein said operational-information creation means is constituted to include

first information creation means for creating an object-creation-information and an object-deletion-information, when the move-operation is performed between different hierarchy structures, and

first information addition means for adding, to said object-creation-information, a move-destination-information which designates a move-destined-object, and for adding, to said object-deletion-information, a move-origination-information which designates a move-originating-object, and

wherein said operational-information processing means is constituted to include

first processing means for creating the object-to-be-moved at said move-destined-object based on said object-creation-information and said move-destination-information, when said operational-information represents object creation, and

second processing means for deleting the object-to-be-moved at said move-originating-object based on said object-deletion-information and said move-origination-information, when said operational-information represents object deletion.

2. An object move processing apparatus in a store-and-forward type of electronic conference system of claim 1, further comprising

registration judgment means for judging as to whether a createe-object is already registered in said registration means, or not, and

identicalness judgment means for judging as to whether the move-destined-object designated by said move-destination-information is identical with a higher-level-object which is at a higher level of the createe-object, or not,

wherein said first processing means is constituted to move the createe-object already registered in said registration means toward the lower level of the move-destined-object designated by said move-destination-information, when said registration judgment means has judged "already registered" and said identicalness judgment means has judged "not identical", and to create the createe-object at the lower level of the move-destined-object designated by said move-destination-information, when said registration judgment means has judged "not registered".

3. An object move processing apparatus in a store-and-forward type of electronic conference system of claim 1, further comprising

identicalness judgment means for judging as to whether the move-originating-object designated by said move-origination-information is identical with a higher-level-object which is at a higher level of the deletee object, or not,

wherein said second processing means is constituted to delete the deletee object, when said identicalness judgment means has judged "identical".

4. An object move processing apparatus in a store-and-forward type of electronic conference system of claim 1, wherein said operational-information creation means further comprises

second information creation means for creating an object-move-information when said move operation has been performed within a sole hierarchy structure, and

second information addition means for adding, to said object-move-information, the move-destination-information which designates a move-destined-object,

wherein said operational-information processing means is constituted to further comprise third processing means for moving the object-to-be-moved to a lower level of the move-destined-object designated by said move-destination-information, when said operational-information represents object move.

5. An object move processing method in a store-and-forward type of electronic conference system having information administrating processes each of which is constituted to include a registration process for registering grouped objects in a hierarchy structure, an operational-information creation process for creating an operational-information when a move operation of an object-to-be-moved registered in the registration process is performed, and an operational-information processing process for performing a move processing of the object-to-be-moved based on the operational-information, when the operational-information processing process processes the operational-information after receiving the same, in which, the operational-informations are stored in the information administrating processes and the stored operational-informations are batch transmitted between the information administrating processes,

wherein said operational-information creation process is constituted to include

a first information creation process for creating an object-creation-information and an object-deletion-information, when the move-operation is performed between different hierarchy structures, and

a first information addition process for adding, to said object-creation-information, a move-destination-information which designates a move-destined-object, and for adding, to said object-deletion-information, a move-origination-information which designates a move-originating-object, and

wherein said operational-information processing process is constituted to include

a first processing process for creating the object-to-be-moved at said move-destined-object based on said object-creation-information and said move-destination-information, when said operational-information represents object creation, and

a second processing process for deleting the object-to-be-moved at said move-originating-object based on said object-deletion-information and said move-origination-information, when said operational-information represents object deletion.

6. An object move processing method in a store-and-forward type of electronic conference system of claim 5, further comprising

a registration judgment process for judging as to whether a createe-object is already registered in said registration process, or not, and

an identicalness judgment process for judging as to whether the move-destined-object designated by said move-destination-information is identical with a higher-level-object which is at a higher level of the createe-object, or not,

wherein said first processing process is constituted to move the createe-object already registered in said registration process toward the lower level of the move-destined-object designated by said move-destination-information, when said registration judgment process has judged "already registered" and said identicalness judgment process has judged "not identical", and to create the createe-object at the lower level of the move-destined-object designated by said move-destination-information, when said registration judgment process has judged "not registered".

7. An object move processing method in a store-and-forward type of electronic conference system of claim 5, further comprising
