Abstract
Provided is a computer system capable of identifying a seat position of a user even in a network to which an individually-assigned device and a device used by a plurality of users are connected coexistently. The computer system for identifying a seat position of a user, includes: a device used by the user; a network device to which the device is connected, for coupling the device to a network; and a management computer coupled to the network. In the computer system, the management computer judges which of an individually-assigned device and a shared-use device the device connected to the network device is, obtains a unique identifier of the user and information indicating a connection relationship between the network device and the device connected to the network device from the network device, and identifies the seat position of the user based on the unique identifier of the user and the information indicating the connection relationship.
