  • Patent number: 6892356
    Abstract: A simple and easy-to-memorize operation method for a scheduling management system is provided to perform main tasks such as referring to schedules of a selected member or a selected date. A software component indicating a schedule, a member, or a date is moved to any one of components constituting a GUI screen, and when the software component is superposed upon another component, the motion destination component constituting the GUI screen judges the type of the superposed software component to select a process to be performed. Main tasks can be performed by a simple operation method through superposition of software components.
