Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optimal schedule system for managing a schedule of a childcare worker on maternity leave or childcare leave, for example.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, from pregnancy to childcare,
The current situation is that there are various schedules, such as regular checkups and baby products. In addition to being busy with a busy schedule, this time is also a time of emotional anxiety.
For example, even if you take enough childcare leave, you may not know how to spend the time, but rather promote anxiety.
Furthermore, in the process from pregnancy to childcare, even if a schedule is decided, it is almost impossible to check it every day. For example, in the case of a pregnant woman, he / she is liable to lose weight because of his weight. Also, during childcare,
The reality is that there is no time to check schedules one after another due to childcare.

[0003]

For example, a schedule system for a pregnant woman and a child-rearing person is not limited to a hand-held schedule system or an electronic schedule system. Therefore, even the day's schedule cannot be confirmed unless it is turned over or operated electronically. However, pregnant women and caregivers are in an environment where it is troublesome to operate them. Therefore, there is a problem that the conventional schedule system cannot be used sufficiently. An object of the present invention is to provide a schedule system which can be used sufficiently by, for example, a pregnant woman or a child-rearing person.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, this system includes a server 1 and a user terminal 2 which can be connected to the server 1 via the Internet N. In addition, the user terminal referred to here is not only a personal computer but also a PDA.
(Mobile information terminal), mobile phone, etc. are also included.
The server 1 is installed on the provider side of this system and includes a data processing unit 3 and a data storage unit 4.

Further, the data storage unit 4 stores the format T1 of the schedule input screen shown in FIG.
The daily table T2 shown in FIG. 4 and the monthly table T3 shown in FIG. 4 are stored. When registering the user's schedule, the format T shown in FIG.
The user's personal schedule is input by using 1. The format T1 is for a unit of one day, and the schedule entry field 5 that allows input until the time of the day and the so-called tudu list entry field 6 are provided. Is equipped with.

The daily table T2 has a weekly calendar 7 displayed in the upper column and a today's column 8 at the left end of the calendar 7. And this calendar 7 makes it possible to scroll it. By clicking the day scroll button 9, the calendar 7 can be scrolled on a daily basis. Further, by clicking the collection scroll button 10, scrolling can be performed on a weekly basis, and by clicking the month scrolling button 11, scrolling can be performed on a monthly basis. However, even if the scroll is performed as described above, only the today's column 10 does not disappear from the screen.

Further, the daily table T2 is provided with a message display column 12, a schedule display column 13 and a task list column 14. The message display field 12 contains messages stored in the data storage unit 4,
Messages corresponding to the day are displayed, but these messages will be explained in detail later.

In the schedule display field 13, the schedule entered in the format T1 is displayed. Although the word "new registration" is displayed in the schedule display field 13, the screen of the format T1 is displayed by clicking the character portion of "new registration". Similar to the schedule display column 13, the task list column 14 displays the items to be done, which are input from the format T1, in the deadline order. Then, when these listed matters are completed, the completion window 15 is checked and then the completion button 16 is clicked, and the matter is deleted from the list. However, if it is not completed, it will automatically carry over to the next day. In addition, this todo list column 1
It is possible to register new items from 4.

The monthly table T3 shown in FIG. 4 is a calendar for one month, and the format T1 for input can be displayed on the screen by clicking the character part of "add" in the monthly table. ing. Therefore, the schedule can be input also from the monthly table T3.

The data storage unit 4 as described above further stores a support message and a return message. The support message relates to a pregnant woman and a child-rearing person who provide emotional support and precautions according to the situation at each time. The above-mentioned support message includes, for example, “If you feel a significant change in your physical condition, it is easy to have a miscarriage, so get a doctor's diagnosis early” when you are pregnant for 2 months. In addition, the post-partum support message says, "Is there enough breasts? In the case of milk, try a sample etc. and choose the one that suits your baby."
There is something like this.

The above-mentioned support message stores the daily amount of the period from pregnancy to the end of the childcare leave. However, if a daily message is not necessary, for example, every three days or every five days, a period may be specified and a support message may be prepared for each period. In any case, it memorizes timely messages for pregnant women and caregivers. In addition, these messages allow the characters identified by this system to communicate to the user as if they are chatting.

As described above, the support message is sent according to the time of day, but in order to calculate the time, the backward calculation is performed from the planned birth date before the birth and the calculation is performed from the planned birth date after the birth. I am trying to do it. Note that these forward calculation and back calculation are conceptually used as antonyms. In other words, forward calculation is conceptualized as a method of calculating the number of days from the present to the future, and backward calculation is conceptualized as a method of calculating the number of days from the future to the present. Hereinafter, the concepts of forward calculation and reverse calculation are all used in this sense.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned return message is a message for supporting the return to the workplace, for example, "If you come to the office a few weeks before you go to work, you will feel much better. After returning to your boss. Why not ask about your work and attitude. Independence is important in everything. Let's tell the company the willingness to return ".

The return message stores the daily amount of two to three months calculated backward from the end of the childcare leave. However, if a daily message is not necessary, for example, every three days or every five days, a period may be specified and a return message may be prepared for each period. In any case, I try to send the right message in a timely manner to motivate my return.

An example of using the system of the present invention will be described below. The user of this system is a pre-registered member, and here, an example of a childcare woman who uses this system during prenatal leave and during childcare leave will be described. First, the user accesses the server 1 from his / her user terminal 2 and inputs his / her expected birth date and planned return date to work. When these scheduled dates are input, the data processing unit 3 calculates the relevant date of the message as follows.
In other words, the support message for pregnant women before childbirth is calculated backward from the planned birth date to determine the applicable date, the support message after childbirth is calculated from the birth date and the applicable date is determined, and the return message is calculated from the planned return date. I calculate backwards and decide the applicable day.

When the user fills out and registers his / her schedule in the format T1, first of all,
The server 1 is accessed from the user terminal 2. When there is access from the user terminal 2 in this way, the server 1
Operates the data processing unit 3 and outputs the format T1 stored in the data storage unit 4 to the user terminal 2. When the user fills in the necessary information in the format T1 displayed on the user terminal 2 and returns the registration command to the data processing unit 3, the data processing unit 3 stores the user's schedule written in the format T1 in the data storage unit 4. Remember.

As for the schedule stored in the data storage unit 4 as described above, when the corresponding day arrives, the data processing unit 3 automatically sends it as a mail to the user terminal 2 by carrying the daily table T2. . In addition, in the first embodiment, the transmission is made in the form of the daily table T2, but only the schedule display column 13 and the task list column 14 are transmitted except the calendar 7 and the message display column 12. May be.

However, when transmitting the daily table T2 as in the first embodiment, the calendar 7 and the message display column 12 are displayed together with the schedule display column 13 and the task list column 14. Then, in the message column 12, a message corresponding to the relevant date (that is, the mail transmission date) is displayed. As described above, when the daily ideograph T2 on the relevant day is displayed on the user terminal 2, the user can operate the user terminal 2 to display the monthly table T3 on the screen, and at that stage, amend the schedule or add a new schedule. I am also able to do it. The correction of the schedule and the addition of the new schedule are performed after calling the format T1.

The daily table T2 and the monthly table T3
Are linked to each other via the data processing unit 3. Therefore, when a schedule is corrected or a new schedule is added through the format T1, those items are displayed on both the daily table T2 and the monthly table T3. In any case, if the user stores his / her schedule in the server 1 from the user terminal 2, the schedule is automatically transmitted to his / her user terminal 2 on that day, so that his / her daily schedule You can easily check the schedule.

When the character is made to dictate the schedule to be transmitted, it is not necessary to visually check the daily schedule. In particular, dictating the schedule is very convenient for a child-rearing woman who has little time to look away from her child. Further, when the schedule sent from the server 1 on the corresponding day is sent as the daily table T2, not only the schedule of the day but also the weekly schedule can be confirmed by looking at the calendar 7, and the monthly table can be confirmed. If you send T3, the user
The monthly schedule can be checked at the same time.

The second embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is different from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that the enterprise side terminal 17 can be connected to the server 1 and the user terminal 2 via the Internet N, but other than that. The configuration of is the same as that of the first embodiment.
The company-side terminal 17 is a terminal installed in a company in which a child-care worker who is a user works, and is used by the boss of the user on child-care leave when exchanging e-mail with the user. .

Then, the exchange of mails between the above-mentioned user and the boss of the workplace is carried out in advance so that it is carried out regularly.
The schedule is set in the server 1. This setting may be decided by consultation between the user and the boss, or may be automatically decided by the system. In any case, the timing of mail exchange between each user and the boss is set in advance. The timing of exchanging emails with the boss may be calculated based on the date of delivery or the date of expected delivery, or may be calculated by calculating backward from the expected date of return.

Further, the data storage unit 4 of the server 1 stores the timing of the mail exchange and the format of the notification mail transmitted at that time. This format is, for example, format 1 shown in FIG.
8 is a reminder 19 prompting the boss to send an email
And the sentence example 20. Reminder 1 like this
By clarifying 9 and the example sentence 20 of the mail, each of the user and the boss can smoothly exchange without forgetting to send the mail.

That is, the data processing unit 3 manages the schedules of individual users, and when the timing of the mail exchange comes, the user terminal 2 and the company side terminal 17 respectively confirm that it is the time of the mail exchange. Automatically send reminders to let you know. At the same time, the text example of the mail addressed to the boss is transmitted to the user terminal 2. The user can send an email to the boss by referring to the example sentence. The above example sentences vary depending on the time,
For example, immediately after childbirth, it is a sentence about the child's name and one's physical condition, and when the child is about to return, it is the child's growth and attitude toward returning.

On the other hand, the mail transmitted from the server 1 to the company side terminal 17 is as shown in FIG. The boss can use the sentence example 20 to create and send an e-mail to be sent to the child caregiver at his / her workplace. Therefore, the user and the boss can exchange emails without forgetting. And you can easily send an email without worrying about what to write. By exchanging even such simple emails on a regular basis, the user on vacation can be made aware of the connection with the workplace and is free from the sense of alienation. In the first and second embodiments described above, the user is described as the case of a woman (mother) who gave birth, but this system can be used by anyone. However, it is a system that is especially useful for those who have difficulty raising their schedule according to their own schedule, because they have to raise children, such as women who gave birth and fathers.

Further, in the above embodiment, the example in which the server 1 creates and manages the schedule of the user has been described, but the user terminal may be provided with the same functions as the data processing unit 3 and the data storage unit 4 of the server 1. For example, the system of the present invention can be realized only by the user terminal. However, in that case, the data processing unit of the user terminal has a function of extracting the schedule or message of the corresponding day and automatically displaying it on the user terminal. Further, the data processing unit may have a function of storing a sentence example of a mail addressed to the boss of the workplace, a reminder, and the like, and displaying the stored date.

According to the first to seventh inventions, since the schedule is automatically transmitted on the day corresponding to the schedule created in advance, the user can schedule the day on the day. Eliminates the hassle of retrieving a schedule by identifying the dates for confirmation. In other words, there is no need to flip the notebook or perform an electronic operation as in the past. As described above, since it is easy to confirm the schedule of the day, it is less likely that the schedule is missed or forgotten. Therefore,
You will not miss what you should do.

According to the second invention, since the daily table is automatically transmitted to the user, the timely message displayed on the daily table can be effectively used. In the third invention, before childbirth, the relevant day of the message is calculated by calculating backward from the expected date of birth, and after the childbirth is calculated by calculating from the date of birth, the applicable day of the message is decided. It is possible to send a message that matches the user's situation in a timely manner.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, the schedule and the message are displayed in the daily table, and the user terminal saves a lot of money. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm the weekly schedule in addition to the schedule for the current day. According to the fifth aspect, the schedule and the message are dictated to the character, so that the schedule can be easily confirmed. In particular, it is extremely convenient for those who are raising children who cannot release their hands.

According to the sixth aspect, the schedule can be checked by both the daily table and the dictation of the character, and the number of check omissions can be reduced accordingly. According to the seventh invention, since the format including the reminder of the mail and the sentence example is sent to the user and the boss of the user, the user and the boss can send the mail of the contents suitable at that time to each other. Can be exchanged.

According to the eighth invention, among the schedules created on the user terminal, the schedules of the corresponding day are automatically displayed, so that the user can check the schedule of the day every day every day. Eliminates the hassle of identifying and retrieving schedules. So you don't miss what you need to do. According to the ninth invention, it is possible to display a message with contents that match the situation of the user during maternity leave or childcare leave at a good timing.
