Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to schedule management for various events such as parties such as wedding receptions, ceremonies and presentations, and more particularly to a schedule creation method for allocating various and various events to required time zones. The present invention relates to a schedule management method including management of the progress of an event and schedule adjustment corresponding to the too late or too early event.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various parties such as wedding receptions are examples of events that include a plurality of events in chronological order and that the time required for the events may fluctuate significantly during the course of the event. At these events, when the ongoing event is not being performed as scheduled, the time is adjusted by skilled facilitators, moderators, and timekeepers. And if an unadjustable delay occurs,
The start of the next event at this venue will be delayed.

[0003] Such occurrence of non-adjustment becomes more remarkable when similar events are being advanced in parallel at a plurality of venues. For example, when wedding receptions are held in parallel at multiple venues in a hotel, interconnection work such as changing clothes in a costume room, cooking in a kitchen, serving food, etc. is a limited resource, with a limited number of people. The time required for each run is almost fixed. Therefore, too late or too early in one venue will suddenly affect the progress of other venues. Therefore, based on patrols of individual venues, monitoring by TV cameras, and status reports by extension telephones, the progress of interconnection with multiple venues was monitored and coordinated by several people.

[0004]

As described above, conventional management of a party such as a wedding reception, especially time adjustment for performing a time-limited event as scheduled, does not depend on the experience of the facilitator. At many venues, it is extremely difficult to secure skilled workers, said to be at least five years. In addition, it is often difficult for skilled personnel to make adjustments including other venues and interconnection work, and in reality, scheduling is performed with a sufficient time margin for each event at each venue. is there. For example, in the case of a wedding reception, 1
In many cases, the number of times is about twice per day at one venue, and there is a problem that the management efficiency is low as an event in which the user's desired day is concentrated.

[0005] Further, when creating an event schedule, it takes time to incorporate the user's wishes into various events and to match the overall scheduled time. For example, if you use the name and number of songs used in each wedding reception event, as well as videos,
It is necessary to make adjustments and changes in consideration of the playback time, and there is a problem in that scheduling is actually repeated many times.

An object of the present invention is to support all processes related to an event by computer management in order to overcome the above-mentioned problems relating to the schedule of parties and the like. Specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide an efficient event schedule creation method and a CDROM conversion tool.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a progress management method and system which monitor the progress of each event in a schedule and allow time adjustment if the progress is too late or too early.

[0008] Other objects of the present invention relating to estimation associated with schedule creation and various displays associated with progress management will be clarified through the following description.

[0009]

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, the progress of a plurality of events at a predetermined event is managed by a schedule based on each scheduled start time, scheduled required time, and extra time (margin). In the method, an attribute relating to whether or not the schedule can be adjusted is pre-assigned to the event, and if the schedule in progress is too late or too early, the attribute can be adjusted for the subsequent schedule. It is characterized in that adjustment is performed for events.

[0010] The method includes a time limit event in which the attribute is not adjusted, a time adjustment event in which the attribute is adjustable, a replacement adjustment event, and an additional event, and performs adjustment so as to maintain the scheduled start time of the time limit event. It is characterized by the following.

When the schedule in progress is too late, a longest scheduled start time including a margin time of the time limit event is calculated, and the time adjustment event and / or the longest scheduled start time is secured so as to secure the longest scheduled start time. The present invention is characterized in that time is reduced by the replacement adjustment event.

If the schedule in progress is too early, the shortest scheduled time is calculated by subtracting the extra time from the time limit event, and the time adjustment event or additional time is added so as to maintain the shortest scheduled time. The time is extended by an event and / or the replacement adjustment event. The determination as to whether it is too late or too early is made when the time difference between the scheduled start time of the ongoing event and the actual start time is equal to or greater than a certain value, or by an external command.

The present invention developed by applying the above-described schedule progress management method to a plurality of venues provides an event schedule including a scheduled start time and a scheduled required time of a plurality of events for each event proceeding in parallel at the plurality of venues.

Since the start of the lighting effect can be operated with a single button, the burden on the person in charge of the operation is light and no skill is required.

Next, details of the schedule creation will be described. First, a scheduling screen is displayed on the face-to-face display 103, and the operator creates a schedule while confirming the customer's wishes. FIG. 10 shows an example of the scheduling screen. On the screen, one of an event list showing a typical pattern of the reception is displayed, and the selection of the event and the setting of the program and the performer are performed along this list.

FIG. 13 shows a processing flow of event selection. This process is a part of the schedule creation process (S2). First, the schedule data at the time of reservation of the venue is called from the schedule database 43 (S21), and the venue name, start time, end time, required time, and the like are displayed.

Next, the standard event button 111 shown in FIG.
By pressing, the standard event list 112 is displayed, and events are selected one after another from the list. The selected events are sequentially input to the event column on the schedule creation screen. Note that the standard required time is also read for each selected event. In this way, after the input of all the events is completed (S22), the total time of the events is calculated (S23).

As a result, it is checked whether or not the required time for the reception has been exceeded (S24), and if it has, the schedule change request message is displayed (S2).
6) After the correction is completed (S27), the processes of S23 and S24 are performed again. On the other hand, if the required time is not exceeded, the selected event is registered in the schedule database (S25).

In the process of S26, a changeable event candidate is identified (blinks) on the screen together with the change request message. This identification display is performed for an event whose event attribute (FIG. 5) in the event database is time-adjustable or deleteable. The operator shortens or deletes the time required for these events on the screen.

FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of the music selection processing. The music selection used for the event may be performed continuously after the event selection (s22), but is performed after the schedule table creation (S2). First, on the screen of FIG.
By pressing 21, the processing mode is switched from event selection to music selection, and the event database-registered schedule data is called from the schedule database 43 (S31).

Next, the pointer is moved to a music selection target event which is an event accompanied by music (S32), and a music list 122 corresponding to the event is displayed from the music database (S33). Since the music database (FIG. 5) is assigned a song-corresponding event number for each song, a candidate song name corresponding to the event ID is displayed. For example,
The first to fourth songs shown in the figure are displayed for the event “Guest entry”.

Therefore, a required number of music pieces to be used are selected from the displayed candidate music pieces. It is determined whether or not the selection of the number of songs corresponding to the time required for the event has been completed for each selection of the song (S34). The selection of the number of songs corresponding to the event required time is determined by acquiring the playback time for each song title from the music database and determining whether the total playback time of the selected songs is equal to or longer than the required time of the event. In this determination, if the music playback time is too long, it can be adjusted by fade-out, but if it is too short, it cannot be extended.

Next, it is checked whether or not music selection has been completed for all of the music selection target events (S35).
Move the pointer to the next music selection target event, and again at S33
Steps S35 to S35 are repeated, and after all the music pieces are selected, the selected music piece ID is registered in the schedule database 43.

FIG. 15 shows the details of the performer registration process.
Performer registration processing (S4) is an event selection (s22).
Although it may be continuously input later, it is input here after the creation of the schedule table (S2). First, the mode is switched to the input mode by the mode switching button 131 on the screen of FIG. 10, and the schedule data for which the event is registered is called from the schedule database 43 (S41).

On the screen shown in FIG. 10, the pointer is moved to the event for which the performer is to be input (S42), and the performer's name is entered in the performer's name column. Are sequentially input to the columns of the user 2,. After all inputs are completed (S43), the number of performers for each event is calculated (S44). Since the input of all the schedule data has been completed by this performer name, the schedule decision button is pressed and registered in the schedule database 43 (S4).
5). The data is printed out by the printer 104 as a schedule table.

According to the schedule creation of the present embodiment, in creating an event schedule composed of a plurality of events, selection is made on the basis of the standard event list, so that meetings can be conducted efficiently and the wishes of the customer can be accurately reflected.

The event is provided with an attribute of whether or not it can be adjusted, and when the total time of the selected event exceeds the scheduled required time of the event, an adjustable event candidate is displayed to facilitate the adjustment. Alternatively, at the time of creating the schedule, it is determined whether the number of employees is insufficient or insufficient when the work is performed in parallel at a plurality of venues, and the scheduling is performed so that the required number of input staff is minimized.

Further, a processing program for creating a schedule including a standard event list, a plurality of candidate data of music and video used for each event are associated with an event ID, and a database to which a reproduction time and the like are added is stored in a CDRO.
Because it is M, music and video can be played simply by setting it on a personal computer, and the event and the music and video to be used for the event can be easily selected while asking the customer for confirmation.

FIG. 17 shows an example of the estimate creation screen, and FIG. 18 shows a flow of the estimate creation processing. The creation of an estimate according to the present embodiment is performed based on schedule data. First, the schedule data is read (S121), and when there is an estimate change request from the operator (S122), the contents of the event related to the estimate are reflected in the estimate (S12).
3). After the input of the quotation item is completed (S124), the quotation calculation is performed (S125), and the quotation data is registered in the schedule database with the registration permission from the operator (S126) (S127). According to this, since the information at the time of the schedule creation is reflected in the estimate, the estimate creation time is shortened.

Next, the progress management operation of the progress management unit 2 in the venue A (or B) in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 24 shows a processing flow of the progress management unit. The operator calls the registered schedule from the schedule database 43 using any one of the schedule ID, the venue name, the name of the reception, the date, the start time, and the AND condition of the plurality of items as keywords (S201). Alternatively, the schedule having the closest start time after the current time is automatically called on the day of the reception (S202).

Then, in each window on the screen of the personal computer 201 (or by switching), the event operation screen of FIG. 19, the overall progress display of FIG. 20, the event progress display of FIG. 21, and the event progress management of FIG. A progress message / control screen shown in FIG. 23 is displayed (S203).

Each time the operator presses the event start button 215 on the control screen shown in FIG.
4) The display colors of the event names in FIG. 22 are updated in order. For example, in the initial state, all event names and work statuses are white, and when the operator presses the event start button 215 together with the reception start time, only the guest entrance section flashes yellow and the currently running state is displayed. Indicates an event.

When the event start button 215 is pressed, the effect control of the event is executed (S205). As shown in the processing flow of the production control of FIG. 25, music and video registered in the schedule database 43 are reproduced (S
211) Also, the control data for lighting registered in the event database 44 is sent to the control unit 26 and executed (S212).

Next, when the event start button 215 is pressed again at the start timing of the entrance of the bride and groom, the display becomes gray indicating that the guest entrance event has been completed, and the entrance of the bride and groom blinks yellow. As described above, the display of the event name is updated in the order of the schedule every time the event start button 215 is pressed (S206).

The progress of the entire schedule in FIG. 20 is displayed based on the start time and the end time registered in the schedule database 43 based on the event start button 21.
5 is set as the start time of the current event, and the difference between the scheduled end time and the scheduled end time on the schedule is obtained. Further, when the start time of the current event is later than the expected time, the predicted end time without changing the schedule is displayed.

The event progress display in FIG. 21 shows the progress prediction for the time-limited event performed after the event start button 215 is pressed, and the event is delayed based on the required time and the margin time of the event. The current position bar is displayed for the fan segments that are too late, late, on schedule, early, or too early.

The progress message of FIG. 23 is displayed while determining the current progress according to the event progress display processing shown in FIG. First, a difference between the event start time scheduled time A of the schedule data and the event start button 215 depressed time B, which is the actual event start time, is determined (S221), and the difference value is equal to or less than zero (A-B).
If ≦ 0), the following processing is performed assuming that the schedule is late.

As shown in FIG. 4, each event can be classified according to the presence or absence of a flag in the event attribute information. The event with a flag in the time limit field has a time limit, and the event with a flag in the time adjustable field. Can be reduced in time, events with a flag in the deleteable field can be deleted, events with a flag in the additional field can be added, and events without a flag in the fixed order field can be reordered.

If the event is later than the scheduled start time in S221, the longest scheduled start time C including the margin time of the time limit event is calculated (S222), and the time can be reduced, deleted, and replaced. A candidate for the use event is displayed (S223).

FIG. 27 shows details of the time adjustment event candidate display processing (1). Is searched for a group of time-reducible events, the total time of only the basic times is obtained, and the current event start time is added to obtain the shortest start time E of the time-limited event (S232). In the process (3), the shortest start time E of the time-limited event is obtained by searching for a replaceable event group and deleting and replacing the deleteable event (S233). In addition, the shortest start time E is determined by combining
4).

These processes are performed in accordance with the priority order, and from the longest scheduled start time C of the time limit event calculated in the process S222 of FIG. Until the value obtained by subtracting E becomes larger than zero (CE> 0), the processing in step S23 is performed for each event or a combination thereof.
2 to S234 are repeated (S236, S23
8).

When the result that the time-limited event can be started at the scheduled time is obtained, the event candidate group is

37). On the other hand, in the process S238, if the start time of the time limit event cannot be started at the scheduled time C even after the process for all the event candidates whose time can be adjusted, the final value of this process is adopted and the adjustment is performed. Event candidates are displayed (S237), and a message indicating that adjustment is impossible is also displayed (S239).

On the other hand, event progress display processing (FIG. 26)
In S221, if the difference between the scheduled event start time of the schedule data and the actual event start time is positive, the following processing is performed assuming that the schedule is advanced. First, the shortest scheduled start time D excluding the margin time of the time limit event is calculated (S224), and then a candidate for a time adjustment event that can be extended or added is displayed (S225).

FIG. 28 shows the detailed flow of the time adjustment event candidate display processing (2). In the process of (1), a group of events that can be extended is searched for, the required time including the margin time is obtained, and the time is added to the current event start time to obtain the longest start time F of the time limited event (S242). In the processing of (1), an event that can be added is searched for and its time is obtained, and added to the current event start time to obtain the longest start time F of the time limited event (S243). In addition, the shortest start time F is obtained by the combination of the processing of (S244).

These processes are performed in accordance with the priority order, and the processing in step S22 of the event progress display process (FIG. 26) is executed.
Shortest scheduled start time D of the time limit event calculated in 4
Until the value obtained by subtracting the longest scheduled start time F of any one of the above-mentioned time limit events becomes zero or less (D-
F ≦ 0), S242 to S244 are repeated for each event or a combination thereof (S24).

In the case where the result that the time-limited event can be started at the scheduled time is obtained, the event candidate group is displayed in the message display section 21 of the progress message display / control screen (FIG. 23).
In the case where the speed is too fast, the extension candidate and the additional candidate are displayed (S247). If it is determined in step S248 that the start time of the time limit event cannot be started at the scheduled time even after all the processes are completed, the final value of this process is adopted,
A candidate for an event for adjustment is displayed, and a message indicating that adjustment is impossible is also displayed (S249).

In the processing of the progress management section (FIG. 24), after the completion of the above-described progress degree display processing (S206), when the operator determines from the displayed contents that time adjustment is necessary, the time adjustment execution button 212 in FIG. Pressed. When the progress management unit 2 of the venue 200 detects the operation of the execution button 212 (S209), the event time adjustment unit 22 adjusts the time based on the result of the event progress display process (S206),
The schedule data is changed and registered in the schedule database 43 (S210). After the schedule change, the progress display states in FIGS. 20 and 21 are also updated, and the event names on the event progress management screen in FIG. 22 are changed according to replacement, deletion, and addition.

As described above, according to the schedule progress management of this embodiment, it is possible to adjust each event while giving an event relating to the possibility of adjustment, and to perform an event with a limited time slot as scheduled. You can shorten, extend, add, and swap events, and adjust the entire schedule so that there is less error with respect to the scheduled time.
Margin time can be greatly reduced, and the number of events per day can be increased. By the way, in the past, it was about twice a day at one venue, but it can be performed three times or more.

Further, the progress of the entire event and the current event are displayed at a glance, and furthermore, a message such as the progress of the current or next event, an external request, etc. and an adjustment operation screen are provided integrally, so that the operator can adjust the status. Judgment and operation of necessity become easy. Next, the operation of the coordination operation unit 3 in the costume room 300 that performs the operation in cooperation with the venue will be described. FIG. 29 shows an example of the progress display screen for the costume room, FIG.
0 shows the processing flow of the costume room.

On the progress display screen for the costume room, the entire color change schedule of the day, such as the name of the color change scheduled time zone of each venue, the color change number, and the type of Western / Japanese dress, is displayed. Based on the information, the progress of the venue with respect to the scheduled time of the next color change is displayed as “5 minutes delay”, “on schedule”, or the like.

The progress of the color change is displayed by changing the progress at each venue as a trigger (S301) and changing the progress display at the venue (S302). When the work of changing the costume is started (S303), for example, the work start information is transmitted by pressing the work start button 311 of the venue A (S304), and when the work of the venue A is completed (S304).
305), and pushes the work end button 312 to send work end information (S306). The work start information / work end information for each venue is reported to the manager's room and each venue, and the venue can check the work progress of the costume room on the event progress management screen (Fig. 22) and adjust the time of the event Is necessary to determine the necessity.

Next, the operation of the overall management section 4 in the manager room 400 will be described. FIG. 31 shows a venue monitoring screen for the manager room, which constantly monitors the progress of each venue. Here, a summary schedule of one day at each venue, the current event, the next event, the remaining time, the delay time, the degree of progress, etc. for each venue are displayed in a list.

FIG. 33 shows a processing flow for the manager room.
First, the schedule of the day is called (S411), and based on the information from each venue reflected in the schedule database, the name of the event currently being executed, the name of the next event, the start time of the reception, the end time of the reception, and the remaining time. Delay time,
The overall remaining time, the overall delay time, and the event progress similar to that in FIG. 21 are displayed (S412).

The selection buttons 403 to 408 of the coordinating sections on the manager room screen (FIG. 31) change their display colors and flash on and off when a delay or the like occurs with respect to the scheduled work start time. For example, when the costume room selection button 403 blinks, if the manager presses the button 403 to request a detailed display (S413), the screen is switched to the costume room selection screen (S414).

FIG. 32 shows an example of a costume room selection screen for the manager's room. Here, the second color change exit at the venue A is delayed by 15 minutes. For this reason, if the second color change exit at the venue B is performed as scheduled, it can be understood that the color change at the venue A and the venue B overlap. In response to this, the manager's room presses the adjustment request button 411 for the venue A (S415, S416).

At the venue A, the message display section 211 (FIG. 2)
Confirming the time adjustment request from the manager room shown in 3),
The time adjustment execution button 212 is pressed. As a result, if an adjustment impossible message is output (S239), it is determined that time adjustment at the venue A is impossible, and the time adjustment reception impossible button 2

Then, in the manager's room, the adjustment request button 413 is pressed again to the venue B, and a time adjustment is requested to the venue B. As a result, when the adjustment at the venue B becomes possible, the OK display button 4
14 lights up. Therefore, the start time of the second color change exit at the venue B is delayed by 5 minutes or more, and the duplication of work in the costume room is eliminated.

According to this, when a banquet is advanced in parallel while using a costume room or a kitchen in a plurality of venues, it is too late or too early in one venue to cause duplication in common resources. In order to avoid affecting other venues, the scheduled time and current time of events related to the use of joint resources will be managed, and when duplication is expected, the relevant venue or related venue will be notified, and the schedule Adjustment is encouraged, and progress management that maintains the schedule as a whole becomes possible.

As a result, an excessive margin is not required for the scheduling of each venue, and efficient operation as a whole can be improved without having excess personnel in the joint resources. In addition, since a large number of skilled persons are not required for progress management, it is easy to secure personnel, rotate, and the like.

Next, guidance display of the waiting room 500 and the lobby 600 will be described. These displays can also be processed in cooperation with the schedule data, and there is no need to input or change them by a person as in the related art.

FIG. 34 shows an example of a waiting room display screen, and FIG. 35 shows a waiting room display processing flow. The schedule data of the day is called (S501), the date for the reception, the name of the house for the waiting room, and the name of the venue are displayed (S502), the remaining time until the guest enters is calculated (S503), and the remaining time is displayed with a message (S503). S504). Further, the state of the costume room or the venue is displayed as a moving image by the CCD cameras 206 and 302 installed in the venue or the costume room.

FIG. 36 shows an example of a guide board display screen, and FIG. 37 shows a guide board display processing flow. The schedule data of the day is called (S601), the reception name, the venue name, and the execution time zone are displayed in the order of the start time (S602), and the reception currently being opened is displayed as the reception (S603, S60).
4) When the time is adjusted at the reception, the latest start and end times are displayed (S605). If there is a reception that has ended, the end of the reception is displayed (S607).

[0096] As a result, since it is possible to display the information on the guidance display device based on the contents of the schedule database, not only special programming and data input are unnecessary, but also the schedule can be changed in real time in conjunction with the progress of the venue. Can be displayed in real time. In addition, since the state of the venue can be displayed in a timely manner on the guidance display device, it is possible to wait in a waiting room or the like with confidence.
