When the forecast changes, it can be notified to the user, so that the user can review the schedule.

  The schedule registration means registers the allowable range of the weather set by the user for the schedule together with the schedule in the schedule table stored in the schedule storage means, and the means for notifying the current forecast weather When it is out of the allowable range, the forecast weather change information can be notified to the user. Even if the weather forecast changes, there is no need to review the schedule to some extent. By setting in advance how much the schedule needs to be reviewed, the user can reduce unnecessary notifications.

  It is desirable that the notification means notifies the user of alternative date or date / time candidates for which the weather of the condition specified for the schedule is predicted, together with the forecast weather change information. Thereby, the user can determine an alternative date promptly.

  The schedule storage means stores the schedules of the organizer and the accompanying person, and the weather forecast display means displays the date or date when the schedule is not registered on the organizer and the accompanying person's respective schedules. It can also be selected and displayed. Thereby, a schedule can be made according to the day or the date and time when an organizer and a companion have a vacant schedule.

  When a region is designated as the destination, the weather forecast display means displays each weather forecast of one or more destination candidates that match the subject within the area, and the schedule registration means has one or more A schedule can be registered in the schedule with one selected from the destination candidates as a destination. In particular, when planning an excursion, it is possible to determine only a purpose (subject) and an approximate location and determine a destination that matches the purpose and has the best weather.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, a weather forecast for a predetermined period of a destination scheduled to be newly registered in the schedule in which the user's schedule stored in the schedule storage means is recorded is displayed on the network. The date or date and time specified in the weather forecast displayed on the display means, or the day or date and time when the weather of the specified condition is predicted is displayed. A schedule management method is also provided in which the new schedule is registered in the schedule stored in the schedule storage means together with the destination.

[Schedule registration process]
FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the schedule registration process in the mobile terminal 10 shown in FIG.

  When creating a new schedule, the schedule table management unit 17 displays an input screen on the image display unit 12, and receives an input of a subject and a destination from the input unit 11 (step S1). The indoor / outdoor determination unit 14 determines whether the destination is indoor or outdoor from the input subject and destination (step S2).

  If it is determined that it is outdoors (Y in Step S2), the weather forecast display processing unit 15 acquires a weather forecast for one week at the destination, for example, and causes the image display unit 12 to display the daily weather forecast (Step S3). . This display is continued until the date is input from the input unit 11 (N in step S3). When a date is input from the input unit 11 (Y in step S4), the weather forecast display processing unit 15 displays the hourly weather forecast for that date (step S5), and accepts a time designation from the input unit 11 ( Step S6).

  If it is determined in step S2 that it is indoor, the weather forecast display processing unit 56 does not display the weather forecast, and the input from the input unit 11 by the input screen displayed on the image display unit 12 by the schedule table management unit 17 is performed. The input of date and time is accepted (step S7).

  If no time is specified in steps S6 and S7, it is assumed that the schedule is specified only by the date. With the above input, the subject, destination, date or date is determined. The schedule registration unit 16 registers these as new schedules in the schedule table stored in the schedule table storage unit 13 (step S8).

[Screen display and input examples]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display example (schedule screen 101) of the schedule screen on the screen display unit 12. As shown in FIG. The schedule management unit 17 displays the schedule stored in the schedule storage unit 13 on the image display unit 12 in accordance with an input instruction from the input unit 11 by the user. FIG. 3 shows an example of a schedule for February. The schedule screen 101 is also provided with a “new schedule” button. When this button is pressed (clicking with a pointing device or touching on the touch panel), the screen is switched to a screen for inputting a new schedule, and the new schedule can be registered according to the flow shown in FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display example (new schedule registration screen 102) of the new schedule registration screen displayed by selecting “new schedule” on the screen shown in FIG. The new schedule registration screen 102 is provided with columns for inputting a subject, destination location, start date and time, and end date and time, and a memo column. Here, for example, it is assumed that “ski” is input as the subject and “Nowakuen” is input as the place (step S1 in the flow of FIG. 2).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a screen display example (screen 103) after the subject and destination (location) are input to the new schedule registration screen 102 shown in FIG. Since the subject is “Ski” and the place is “Nomugi”, this place is known to be outdoors (Y in step S2 in the flow of FIG. 2). In this case, a weather forecast for a predetermined period of the destination is displayed on the screen 103 (step S3 in the flow of FIG. 2). From this weather forecast display, the user can specify the day. Even if the subject is “ski”, the weather forecast is not displayed when the place is an indoor ski area. For example, a weather forecast is displayed even if the location is an outdoor concert venue.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a screen display example (screen 104) after selecting one of the weather forecasts on the screen shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the weather icon for February 1 is selected by the user on the screen 103 shown in FIG. As a result of this selection, the 2/1 date is entered in the “start” column and “end” column of the screen 104 shown in FIG. 6 (Y in step S4 in the flow of FIG. 2). When the weather icon is traced across a plurality of days, the start date is input in the “start” column, and the end date is input in the “end” column. Instead of tracing the weather icon, the date may be entered directly in the “Start” and “End” fields.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example (time selection screen 105) of the time selection screen displayed along with the screen shown in FIG. When the date is input, the hourly weather forecast for that day is displayed as the time selection screen 105 (step S5 in the flow of FIG. 2). On this time selection screen 105, time designation from the start to the end is accepted (step S6 in the flow of FIG. 2). When the time range is specified and the “OK” button is pressed, the date and time is fixed.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a screen display example (screen 106) after the time is set on the time selection screen shown in FIG. By specifying the time on the time selection screen 105, the input of items necessary as a schedule is completed. In addition, if the user needs it, any item can be entered in the memo field. When a “decide” or “end” button not shown is pressed, the input items are registered as a new schedule. At this time, the screen returns to the schedule screen 101 in FIG. 3, and the registered schedule is displayed in the column of the day.

[Effect of the first embodiment]
According to the embodiment described above, when the user plans to go out, if the outing destination (destination) is determined to be outdoors, the weather forecast for the destination can be displayed. Thus, the user can make a schedule according to the predicted weather. This is particularly useful for tasks that depend on the weather and for determining work schedules.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 9 is a block configuration diagram showing the mobile terminal 30 and the weather forecast server 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The portable terminal 30 includes a weather forecast display processing unit 31 instead of the weather forecast display processing unit 15, and the weather forecast display processing unit 31 includes a condition designation processing unit 32 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. This is different from the mobile terminal 10 in FIG. The condition designation processing unit 32 constitutes a condition designation unit that selectively displays a weather forecast for a date or date that matches the designated condition.

  The basic operation of the weather forecast display processing unit 31 is equivalent to the operation of the weather forecast display processing unit 15 described above. The difference is that a condition designation processing unit 32 is provided, and a weather forecast for a date or date that meets the designated condition can be selectively displayed. As such a condition, one or more can be selected from the weather, the probability of precipitation, the date or date when the schedule is not registered on the schedule, and the like.

[Schedule registration process]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the schedule registration process in the mobile terminal 30 shown in FIG. The basic processing is the same as that shown in FIG. 2, and different points will be mainly described below.

  When the subject and destination are input (step S1) and the destination is determined to be outdoors (step S2), the weather forecast display processing unit 31 causes the image display unit 12 to display a daily weather forecast (step S3). ). At this time, the condition designation processing unit 32 accepts a condition designation such as weather from the input unit 11 (step S11). If specified (Y in step S11), the weather forecast for the day that matches the specified condition is selectively displayed on the image display unit 12 (step S12). If no condition is specified (N in step S11), step S12 is skipped. The above weather forecast display is continued until a date is input from the input unit 11 (N in step S3). When a date is input from the input unit 11 (Y in step S4), the weather forecast display processing unit 31 displays the hourly weather forecast for that date (step S13), and accepts time designation from the input unit 11 ( Step S6). In the hourly weather forecast display in step S13, if there is a weather condition specification, the display is such that only the time that meets the condition can be selected. When the time is specified in step S6, the schedule registration unit 16 adds the schedule including the subject, destination, date or date and time to the schedule stored in the schedule storage unit 13 together with the specified weather conditions. Register (step S14).

  If it is determined in step S <b> 2 that the room is indoor, the schedule registration unit 16 receives the date and time input from the input unit 11 (step S <b> 7), and stores the schedule including the subject, destination, date, and date / time in the schedule table storage unit 13. The registered schedule is registered (step S8).

[Screen display and input examples]
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a screen display example (screen 107) after a subject name and a destination (location) are input on the new schedule registration screen. In the present embodiment, the same screen as that shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is used as the schedule screen and the new schedule registration screen displayed on the screen display unit 12. When a subject and a destination are input to the new schedule registration screen 102 shown in FIG. 4 and it is determined that the destination is outdoors, a weather forecast for a predetermined period of the destination is displayed in the screen 107 (FIG. 4). Step S3 in the flow of 10). In addition, a “condition” button is displayed near the weather forecast.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a screen display example (screen 108) after the “condition” button is pressed on the screen 107 shown in FIG. On this screen 108, “sunny”, “cloudy”, “rain”, “snow”, “precipitation probability”, and “vacant day” are shown as conditions that can be set. The user can select one of these conditions. Neither can be selected, or a plurality can be selected. If “Precipitation Probability” is selected, its value and its range can be set. In addition, when “vacant day” is selected, a date on which no schedule is registered in the schedule stored in the schedule storage unit 13 is set as a condition.

  In addition, when a plurality of schedules are stored in the schedule storage unit 13, it is possible to use a day when the schedule of the organizer and the accompanying person is not available. That is, a button “with accompanying person” is provided in the vicinity of “vacant day” so that the accompanying person can be designated. Then, when “vacant day” is selected and a companion is designated, the condition designation processing unit 32 obtains the schedules of the organizer and the companion from the schedule stored in the schedule storage unit 13. The date and time when no schedule is registered on each schedule is selected and displayed on the image display unit 12.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a screen display example (screen 109) after conditions are set on the screen 108 shown in FIG. Here, an example in which a precipitation probability of 20% or less is set as a condition is shown. In this case, the weather forecast only for the day with a precipitation probability of 20% is displayed, and another day cannot be selected. From the weather forecast display on the screen 109, the user can specify the day, and the screen 104 as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained. However, the day when the weather forecast is displayed follows the above-mentioned conditions. Thereafter, processing such as time designation is performed as in the first embodiment, and a schedule is registered. The specified weather condition is added to the schedule at this time in case the weather forecast changes after the schedule is registered.

[Effect of the second embodiment]
According to the present embodiment, in addition to the same effects as those of the first embodiment, the date or time that does not meet the specified condition is not displayed, so that the convenience for the user is enhanced. Further, it is possible to reduce the possibility of erroneously selecting such date or date.

  In addition, by making it possible to select an available day, a schedule can be made in accordance with the day or date when the user's schedule is available. Furthermore, by making it possible to select a companion, it is possible to make a schedule in accordance with the date or the date and time when the organizer and the companion are vacant.

[Third Embodiment]
In the mobile terminal 10 shown in FIG. 1 or the mobile terminal 30 shown in FIG. 9, the schedule management unit 17 selects the schedule destination and the schedule registered in the schedule stored in the schedule storage unit 13. When the weather forecast updated for the day or date / time is acquired from the weather forecast server 20 and the weather condition specified when the schedule is registered differs from the currently forecasted weather, the forecast weather change information As a means for notifying the user.

  For example, in the case of the mobile terminal 10 in the first embodiment, the schedule management unit 17 stores the weather forecast for the day on which the schedule is registered, and notifies the user when the weather forecast changes thereafter. To do. However, in this case, it is necessary to store past weather forecasts in the schedule management unit 17, and the user is notified whenever there is a change in the weather forecast. There is a possibility to make it.

  On the other hand, in the mobile terminal 30 according to the second embodiment, weather conditions can be added to the schedule to be registered, so that the forecast weather change information can be notified to the user using the conditions. Such an embodiment will be described below as a third embodiment.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a schedule registration process according to the third embodiment. The processing from step S1 to step S6 and the processing of steps S7 and S8 are the same as the processing in the second embodiment shown in FIG.

  After accepting the time designation in step S6, the schedule table management unit 17 accepts the alarm designation. If there is no alarm designation, the schedule is registered in the schedule together with the designated weather conditions (step S14), as in the flow of FIG. When there is an alarm designation (Y in step S21), the schedule table management unit 17 receives an alarm setting (step S22). The schedule registration unit 16 registers the allowable range of weather set by the user for the schedule together with the schedule in the schedule table stored in the schedule table storage unit 13 (step S23).

  As a result, the schedule management unit 17 can notify the user of the forecast weather change information when the currently forecasted weather is out of the allowable range as a means for notifying. In this notification, along with the forecast weather change information, the user can be notified of alternative date or date / time candidates for which the weather of the condition specified for the schedule is predicted.

[Screen display and input examples]
FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a screen display example (screen 110) after conditions are set on the screen 108 shown in FIG. Here, similarly to the screen 109 of FIG. 13, an example in which a precipitation probability of 20% or less is set as a condition is shown. A weather forecast only for days with a 20% chance of precipitation is displayed, and an “alarm setting” button is displayed.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a screen display example (alarm setting screen 111) after the “alarm setting” button is pressed on the screen 110 shown in FIG. In this alarm setting screen 111, alarm settings such as “when the weather changes”, “when it gets better”, “when it gets worse”, “the probability of precipitation (snow)”, and “when it no longer meets the filtering conditions” are displayed. Conditions can be selected. The “precipitation (snowfall) probability” can be specified as a percentage increase or decrease. The “filtering condition” is a condition set on the screen 108 shown in FIG. In the alarm setting screen 111, it is possible to further select a notification method for notification. The notification method can be selected to display an alarm on the schedule table using the same software, or to send an e-mail to a pre-registered address. The alarm setting can be canceled by the “Cancel” button, and the alarm setting can be completed by the “Setting” button.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of alarm notification (alarm notification 112). For example, the alarm notification 112 is displayed over the schedule screen 101 shown in FIG. This alarm notification indicates a change in the condition of the scheduled date and alternative date candidates that meet the condition.

[Effect of the third embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, a schedule is made based on the weather forecast. Therefore, when the forecast changes, it may be necessary to review the schedule itself. According to the present embodiment, the weather forecast is watched, and when the forecast changes, it is notified to the user, which can help to review the schedule.

  Even if the weather forecast changes, it is not necessary to review the schedule to some extent. By setting in advance how much the schedule needs to be reviewed, the user can reduce unnecessary notifications. Moreover, although the normal weather forecast is only about one week, it is also possible to make a schedule ahead of it and decide what to do with the forecast from the weather forecast one week before.

  Furthermore, the alternative date can be promptly determined by the user by indicating the alternative date candidate in the alarm notification.

[Fourth Embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, an area having a certain extent such as Koshinetsu, Kanto, Nagano Prefecture, Tokyo, Matsumoto, etc. can be designated as a destination, instead of a specific place. A processing example in such a case will be described as a fourth embodiment, taking as an example a case where the processing is performed by the mobile terminal 10 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the schedule registration process in the fourth embodiment. The basic flow of this schedule registration process is the same as that shown in FIG. 2, but the process when it is opposed to the outdoors in step S2 is slightly different. That is, after it is determined to be outdoor, it is determined whether or not an area is designated as the destination (step S31). If the area is not designated (N in step S31), the same processing as in FIG. 2 (steps S3 to S8) is executed. When a region is designated (Y in step S31), the weather forecast display processing unit 15 displays each weather forecast of one or more destination candidates that match the subject within the region (step S32). . When the destination is selected by the operation of the input unit 11 and the date is designated (step S33), the processing after step S5 is performed as in the flow shown in FIG. In step S8, the schedule registration unit 16 registers the schedule in the schedule table with one selected from the destination candidates as the destination.

  Here, the case where the area designation process is performed by the mobile terminal 10 shown in FIG. 1 has been described as an example. However, the mobile terminal 30 shown in FIG. Can be implemented similarly.

[Effect of the fourth embodiment]
In the present embodiment, designation of a region is allowed, and a candidate site is shown in that region so that a weather forecast is shown. This makes it possible to determine only the purpose (subject) and approximate location, especially when planning a vacation, and to determine a destination that matches the purpose and has the best weather.

[Fifth Embodiment]
FIG. 19 is a block diagram showing mobile terminals 40 and 41, a weather forecast server 20, and a schedule table management server 50 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that a schedule table for a plurality of users is managed by a common schedule table management server 50.
