摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information input-output device management system which can prevent the user of the system from carelessly selecting a remote device at the time of selecting an information input-output device on a network. ;SOLUTION: A physical positional information which indicates the physical position of a device in a network is set and the set physical positional information is displayed in a displaying section and, at the same time, provided to a server machine. In addition, the movement of the device is automatically recognized and, when the movement is recognized, a message requesting the change of the setting state of the physical positional information is displayed in the displaying section (a) and (b). The automatic recognition of the movement of the device is performed by measuring the moving distance of the device form the rotation of device moving wheels attached to the leg sections of the device and, when the moving distance exceeds a prescribed set value, the movement is recognized. When the power supply is again turned on after the movement of the device ends, the above-mentioned requesting message is displayed.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
