Abstract:
1. A process control method for a scheduling management system, comprising the steps of: selecting a movable software component on a certain component constituting a GUI screen using an input device; moving and superposing the movable software component upon another component constituting the GUI screen; notifying the motion destination other component of the superposed software component; wherein as performed by a calendar component of the GUI screen, the method includes displaying a software component indicating a date in a calendar format on the GUI screen in accordance with acquired calendar information, and selecting, it another software component is superposed upon the software component by the input device, a process in accordance with a type of the other software component; wherein as performed by a schedule display area component of the GUI screen, the method includes graphically displaying a software component indicating scheduling data in a corresponding area of a schedule screen having a time axis and a member axis in accordance with acquired scheduling data, and selecting, if another software component is superposed upon the software component by the input device, a process in accordance with a type of the other software component; wherein as performed by a member select component of the GUI screen, the method includes, hierarchically displaying a software component indicating a member on the GUI screen in accordance with acquired member information, and selecting, if another software component is superposed upon the software component by the input device, a process in accordance with a type of the other software component; wherein if the software component indicating the date on said calendar component is superposed upon said schedule display area component by the input device, supplying information of the software component from said calendar component to said schedule display area component, and judging that the software component is a software component of a type indicating the date, to thereby select a process of referring to the scheduling data of the designated date; if the software component indicating the member on said member select component is superposed upon said schedule display area component by the input device, supplying information of the software component from said member select component to said schedule display area component, and judging that the software component is a software component of a type indicating the member, to thereby select a process of referring to the scheduling data of the member and judge from the information of the software component whether the member is an individual or a group to perform the selected process; and if the software component indicating the member displayed on the schedule screen on said schedule display area component is superposed upon said member select component by the input device, supplying information of the software component from said schedule display area component to said member select component, and judging that the software component is a software component of a type indicating the member, to thereby select a process of deleting the scheduling data of the member from the scheduling screen.
