Abstract

A system which strengthens cooperation among workers in a business organization through flexible real-time communications and also allows interactive real-time data communications between the head of the organization (manager) and workers, thereby promoting communications within the organization and increasing productivity. The system holds: a commitment list which stores information on workers and work categories in which they are engaged, and a relation list which correlates sensing results with work categories in which they are engaged. A worker and work in which he/she is engaged are identified based on sensing result data and this is reflected in the commitment list data, and another worker related to the work is identified and the identified worker is notified of the work.
