Description

  The present invention relates to a schedule adjustment support system that supports schedule adjustment, for example, for a schedule once reserved, when there is a schedule candidate that meets the desired conditions of the schedule before the schedule is executed. Further, the present invention relates to a schedule adjustment support system that notifies that effect.

  Conventionally, in a schedule management system, for example, before executing a schedule, a common schedule vacancy is searched for a plurality of members, used devices, or environments, and candidates that can be reserved are presented. Moreover, in the schedule management system, as another example, it is possible to grasp the difference between a single user's schedule and actual behavior and provide an appropriate function, or to schedule an operation schedule of a production facility, etc. If the actual situation is different, the subsequent schedule is adjusted.

Conventionally, for example, when the operation schedule is corrected because the operation schedule of the production machine is different from the actual performance, a warning is issued to alert the operator (see, for example, Patent Document 1). . In this technique, only tasks whose execution time intervals are planned in advance can be handled, and schedule adjustment cannot be performed when a plurality of resources are used simultaneously.
Further, conventionally, for example, when a schedule vacancy having a certain time has occurred, a task of a To-Do list for designating that the time is not designated as the main is designated ( For example, see Patent Document 2.) In this technique, there is no method for acquiring the schedule execution time, and schedule adjustment of a plurality of resources is not performed.

  Conventionally, in a production scheduling system, manufacturing results are collected in real time to predict an end time, and rescheduling with little deviation between the production plan and results has been realized (for example, Patent Document 3). reference.). Note that this technique targets a single resource, and schedule adjustment cannot be performed when a plurality of resources are used simultaneously. Further, since this technique does not distinguish between tasks that consider rescheduling and tasks that do not consider rescheduling, all tasks are subject to rescheduling.

Conventionally, for example, notification has been performed when the operating state of a machine tool is different from a schedule (see, for example, Patent Document 4). In this technique, schedule adjustment using actual operation data is not performed.
In addition, conventionally, for example, a difference between a user's schedule and actual behavior is notified, and a function suitable for the actual place is performed. As a function suitable for the implementation place, specifically, Incoming call functions such as setting an answering machine or setting a vibrator have been controlled (see, for example, Patent Document 5). In this technique, schedule information is not corrected.

JP-A-5-290056 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-19916 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-120248 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-22107 JP 2003-78944 A

  However, in the past, for example, in a system that manages a schedule that handles multiple members, multiple devices, environments, etc., it is possible to grasp the operating status of the schedule in conjunction with the system and implement it ahead of schedule There is no such thing as a candidate for a simple schedule, and development of such a device has been required.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances. For example, for a schedule for which a reservation has been confirmed, there is a schedule candidate that meets the desired conditions of the schedule before the schedule is executed. Another object of the present invention is to provide a schedule adjustment support system and the like for informing that effect.
More specifically, in the present invention, for example, in a schedule management system used by a plurality of people, the system grasps that the schedule is different from the actual schedule, Obtaining the implementation status after presenting that fact, or if the schedule implementation status changes, even if the plan has been reserved in advance, if there is a schedule vacancy that matches the desired conditions, the schedule This is notified to the person concerned, and this makes it possible to support discovery of an early execution opportunity of the schedule.

In order to achieve the above object, the schedule adjustment support system according to the present invention supports schedule adjustment by the following configuration.
In other words, the schedule data storage means stores the data of the confirmed schedule, and the desired condition data storage means stores the data of the desired condition regarding the confirmed schedule. The schedule execution status detection unit detects the execution status of the confirmed schedule. The schedule deviation detection unit detects that the schedule execution status detected by the schedule execution status detection unit is different from the schedule based on the data of the schedule stored in the schedule data storage unit. The schedule execution status grasping means grasps the execution status of the confirmed schedule based on the detection result by the schedule deviation detecting means. The advance changeable schedule search means is determined to be unexecuted based on the schedule execution status grasped by the schedule execution status grasping means and the desired condition data stored in the desired condition data storage means. A schedule that is a schedule that can be advanced is searched. Then, the advance changeable schedule information notification means notifies the information about the schedule searched by the advance changeable schedule search means.

  Therefore, when a schedule candidate (schedule empty) is found for another confirmed schedule that has not been executed and meets the desired conditions, based on a schedule in which the deviation between the execution status of the confirmed schedule and the schedule is corrected In addition, since information related to the schedule that can be carried forward to the schedule candidate is notified to, for example, the user, for example, for the schedule once reserved, the desired condition of the schedule is executed before the schedule is executed. When there is a schedule candidate that meets the above, it is possible to notify that fact and to assist the user in adjusting the schedule.

  As an example, if there are multiple confirmed schedules and it is detected that the actuality of one or more confirmed schedules has changed from the schedule, a confirmed schedule that has not yet been executed is carried forward. When it is possible to determine whether or not the advance change can be performed, it is possible to notify the persons involved in the schedule that can make the advance change.

Here, various schedules may be used. For example, a schedule regarding a conference, a report meeting, an interview, a private business, or the like can be used. Note that there are a plurality of confirmed schedules, for example.
Various desired conditions regarding the confirmed schedule may be used. For example, desired conditions regarding date and time, time, people, equipment, and location can be used. Desired conditions may be set for an arbitrary number of arbitrary schedules among the determined schedules.
The schedule data storage means and the desired condition data storage means can be configured using, for example, a memory or a database.

Various modes may be used as a mode for detecting the execution status of the confirmed schedule. For example, the same content as the scheduled content of the schedule specified by the data of the confirmed schedule is actually used. In order to determine whether or not the program is being executed, an embodiment is used in which the actual execution status related to the scheduled content is detected.
In addition, the schedule execution status grasping means, for example, determines the difference portion based on the plan schedule that was originally set and the difference (deviation) between the plan schedule and the actual schedule (execution status). Grasp the schedule modified to match the actual (execution status).

  Further, the advance changeable schedule search means detects, for example, a schedule that has been confirmed and can be advanced to an earlier time zone based on a schedule that takes into account the schedule and actual execution status. And the information regarding the time slot | zone (schedule empty) used as the advance change destination which can carry out the advance change of the said schedule is detected.

In addition, various information may be used as information regarding a schedule that can be advanced, for example, information on the schedule itself, information on desired conditions regarding the schedule, or changing the schedule. For example, information on the advance change destination (schedule availability) that can be used can be used.
Various modes may be used as a mode for notifying information by the advance changeable schedule information notifying unit. For example, a mode for notifying by a screen or a voice output function of a schedule adjustment support system, or schedule adjustment It is possible to use a mode in which information is transmitted from a support system to a device such as a computer or a portable device that is used by a user by wire or wireless, and is notified by the device such as the computer or the portable device.

The schedule adjustment support system according to the present invention has the following configuration as one configuration example.
That is, the schedule advance change instruction accepting unit accepts an instruction as to whether or not to carry forward the schedule that has been notified by the advance changeable schedule information notifying unit. Then, the schedule advance change execution means changes the schedule in which the schedule advance instruction is accepted by the schedule advance change instruction acceptance means.
Therefore, for example, according to an instruction from the user, a schedule that can be carried forward can be advanced.
Here, as the schedule advance change instruction accepting means, for example, a means for accepting an instruction from the user using a keyboard or a mouse, or a means for accepting an instruction from another device can be used.

Determine. Then, the schedule advance change execution means changes the schedule that is determined to be advanceable by the schedule advance change permission determination means.
Therefore, it is possible to actually carry out the carry-up change for those which can be carried over when the schedule advance change instruction is accepted. Thereby, for example, it is possible to cope with a case where the advance change becomes impossible before the schedule advance change instruction is accepted.

The schedule adjustment support system according to the present invention has the following configuration as one configuration example.
That is, the schedule advance change data storage means stores data relating to the schedule advance change. Then, the schedule advance change enable / disable determining means is based on the data related to the schedule advance change stored in the schedule advance change data storage means, in a time zone to which the schedule for which the advance change instruction has been accepted is to be forward changed. When other schedules are not confirmed, it is determined that the advance change can be performed, while when other schedules are determined, it is determined that the advance change cannot be performed.

  Therefore, for example, two or more different schedules can be advanced and changed in the same time zone (the time zone to which the advance change is made). If other schedules are moved up to the relevant time zone, they will be duplicated, and it will be judged that it is impossible for instructions related to subsequent carry-over changes, and the instructions will be discarded. be able to.

Here, various data may be used as the data related to the advance change of the schedule. For example, for the schedule in which the advance change instruction is accepted and the advance change is confirmed, the time zone that is the advance change destination is set.

  With the configuration as described above, the execution state grasping unit 5 can grasp the execution state of the schedule at the installation location, and can grasp that the actual execution state of the schedule is different from the schedule. Then, the execution status grasping unit 5 notifies the schedule management device 22 of information on the content grasped regarding the execution status of the schedule.

First, an example of a schematic operation performed by the schedule adjustment support system of this example is shown.
The schedule editing unit 12 accepts an instruction to edit schedule data and an instruction to edit data on desired conditions related to the schedule, for example, in response to an operation by the user. The schedule management unit 6 edits the schedule data stored in the schedule DB 1 and the desired condition data stored in the desired schedule DB 2 in accordance with the instruction received by the schedule editing unit 12.
The notification instructing unit 11 receives an instruction whether or not to notify when the schedule and the like can be changed for each schedule for which data is stored in the schedule DB 1 in accordance with an operation by the user, for example. In accordance with the instruction received by the notification instruction unit 11, the schedule management unit 6 sets whether or not to notify the schedule data stored in the schedule DB1.

The execution state grasping unit 5 grasps the execution state of the schedule, grasps that the execution state of the schedule has deviated from the schedule, and notifies the schedule management unit 6 of the grasped contents.
The schedule management unit 6 performs various managements on the schedule data stored in the schedule DB 1 and the desired condition data related to the schedule stored in the desired schedule DB 2.
The schedule empty search unit 7 adjusts the schedule periodically, for example, when the execution status grasping unit 5 changes the execution status and schedule of a certain schedule, and thus the overall schedule is changed. A search is made for a free time zone (schedule available) in which the schedule that is the target of the change can be changed (in this example, it can be advanced).

The notification unit 8 notifies the user of the information related to the schedule vacancy searched by the schedule vacancy search unit 7 by, for example, displaying it on a display screen or transmitting it to an external device. To do.
For example, the change request registration unit 9 changes the schedule (in the present example, the schedule advance) for the schedule vacant notified by the notification unit 8 according to an operation by the user or according to information received from an external device. ) And register (store) data related to the schedule change in the change request DB 3.
The change request DB 3 stores data related to schedule changes.

  As described above, in this example, the notification unit 8 wirelessly transmits information related to schedule availability to a wireless device (for example, the wireless devices 23a and 23b) carried by the user, and the wireless device transmits the information. It is also possible to use a configuration that receives and outputs a display on the screen to the user. Similarly, when a user performs an operation related to a schedule change for a wireless device (for example, wireless devices 23a and 23b), the wireless device wirelessly transmits information on the operation content, and the change request registration unit 9 It is also possible to use a configuration that receives the information and accepts the change of the schedule.

  Further, in the change request registration unit 9, for example, there are different schedules of two or more people (users) who can change to the same schedule vacancy, and a schedule change request is received from these two or more people. In such a case, it is determined whether a schedule change request received from a certain person overlaps with a schedule change request previously received from another person, and the determination result is given to the certain person. In this case, for example, when an instruction to continue the schedule change process is further received from the certain person notified that the schedule change requests are not duplicated, the schedule is changed. Accept and register changes. Whether or not schedule change requests are duplicated can be determined based on data relating to schedule changes stored in the change request DB 3. Further, in this example, with respect to overlapping schedule change requests, the schedule change is accepted for the person who has given the earliest instruction. However, other priority orders may be used.

Next, an example in the case where the scheduled schedule ends early will be described.
FIGS. 3A and 3B show an example of a case where a schedule related to human activities ends earlier than planned.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the schedule for a certain day executed by “person A” is “plan A” in the time zone “10: 0 to 12:00”. Execute, “Lunch” is executed in the time zone “12: 0 to 12:45”, and “Schedule B” is executed in the time zone “12:45 to 13:45”. In the actual schedule execution status, “schedule A” ends at “11:00”, which is earlier than “12:00” that is the scheduled end time. As a result, the schedule of “person A” in the time zone “11:00 to 12:00” disappears, and a free state is obtained.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, “persons B and C”, “equipment D1 and D2”, “rooms R1 and R2”, and execution time, which are other elements related to the desired condition of “schedule B” For example, “schedule B” scheduled in the time zone “12:45 to 13:45” is moved up to the time zone “11:30 to 12:00”. It becomes possible to change to. In FIG. 5B, schedule candidates (schedule empty) that can be corrected (changed) for “schedule B” are presented.
In this example, for a predetermined schedule such as lunch time, the schedule time zone cannot be changed.
In this example, the start time and the end time of the day for each person are set as default values, and can be corrected as necessary. For example, the start time of “person A” is “10:00”.

FIGS. 4A and 4B show an example related to a predetermined “room R1” as an example of a case where the schedule related to the use of equipment and environment (for example, a room) ends earlier than planned. .
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the schedule of a certain day in which “room R1” is used is “scheduled C” in the time zone “9:30 to 12:00”. Is executed, and “schedule B” is executed in the time zone of “12:45 to 13:15”. However, in the actual schedule execution situation, for example, the meeting related to “schedule C” is early. As a result, the “schedule C” ends at “11:00” which is earlier than the scheduled end time “12:00”. As a result, the schedule of “room R1” in the time zone “11:00 to 12:00” is eliminated, and a free state is obtained.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the conditions relating to “Person A, B, C”, “Equipment D1, D2” and the implementation time, which are other elements related to the desired condition of “schedule B”, are satisfied. In view of this, for example, “schedule B” scheduled in the time zone “12:45 to 13:15” may be changed to be moved up to the time zone “11:30 to 12:00”. It becomes possible. In FIG. 5B, schedule candidates (schedule empty) that can be corrected (changed) for “schedule B” are presented.

Next, the schedule adjustment support system of this example will be described more specifically.
FIG. 5A shows an example of desired condition data relating to a schedule stored in the desired schedule DB 2.
Specifically, for each schedule, corresponding to the “task name” representing the name, “implementation time” representing the desired time of execution (execution), “participating member” representing the desire of the participant, and the like are used. Data of a plurality of elements such as “used equipment” indicating the desire of the equipment and “used conference room” indicating the hope of the conference room to be used are defined. It is possible to input a desired condition for each element using a logical expression. In the figure, “|” represents an OR operation, and “&” represents an AND operation.

As an example, the desired condition for the schedule of the task name “schedule B” is that the execution time is “30 minutes or more and less than 1 hour and 30 minutes”, and the participating members are “all members A, B, C, and D (A & B & C & D)”. The equipment used is “Equipment D1 or Equipment D2 (Equipment D1 | Equipment D2)”, and the meeting room used is “Room R1 or Room R2 (Room R1 | Room R2)”.
In addition, as desired conditions of each element, for example, one time, one person, one thing may be set, or time having two or more times or widths, 2 More than one person or two or more objects may be set.

FIG. 5B shows an example of schedule data stored in the schedule DB 1, which relates to a plan for which a reservation has been confirmed by the user. In this example, the desired condition data related to the schedule stored in the desired schedule DB 2 and the schedule data stored in the schedule DB 1 are uniquely related.
Specifically, in the schedule data, for each schedule, corresponding to the “task name” representing the name, “implementation date” representing the implementation date, “start time” representing the implementation start time, and implementation "End time" representing the time to end, "Implementation time" representing the implementation time, "Administrator" representing the administrator, "Participating member" representing the participant, "Used equipment" representing the equipment used, Data of a plurality of elements such as a “use conference room” indicating a conference room to be used and a “notification request” indicating whether or not a predetermined notification is requested are defined. The “execution time” is calculated from, for example, “start time” and “end time”. “Manager” represents, for example, a person who has authority to change the corresponding schedule.

  As an example, for the schedule with the task name “schedule B”, the implementation date is “June 12 (6/12)”, the start time is “12:45”, and the end time is “13:45”. The implementation time is “1 hour”, the administrator is “person A”, the participating members are “persons A, B, C, D”, and the equipment used is “equipment D1”. The conference room is “room R1”, and the notification request is “present (for example, flag of“ 1 ”value)”. In addition, regarding the schedule of the task name “schedule A” and the task name “schedule C”, the notification request is “none (for example, a flag of“ 0 ”value)”.

  In this example, it is determined whether or not a schedule change (in this example, carry-up) is possible with a schedule for which there is a notification request “Yes” as a schedule adjustment target, and if it is possible, the schedule is changed. Make changes. Note that “present” and “none” of the notification request can be arbitrarily set by, for example, the user operating the notification instruction unit 11.

FIG. 6 shows an example of display contents on a screen for allowing a user to reserve a schedule and input desired conditions related to the schedule.
In this example, the display content as shown in the figure is displayed and output on the screen by the notification unit 8, and the user can operate the input unit 4 to input a schedule reservation and a desired condition related to the schedule.
Specifically, in the display content shown in the figure, the login name “A” and the sentence “Do you want to reserve the following schedule?” Information on each element such as date and time zone related to the schedule is displayed.

  Also, in the display content shown in the figure, there is a button for setting whether to notify whether or not the schedule to be reserved on this screen can be changed (in this example, it can be advanced). When the button corresponding to “Please notify” is selected, the notification is set to be performed, and when the button corresponding to “Not OK” is selected, the notification is not set. . When setting to perform the notification, information on each element such as a time zone and participating members can be input as a desired condition regarding the schedule.

  In the schedule adjustment support system, when the user clicks the “Reserve” button, the schedule reservation including the elements described by the user is confirmed, and the schedule data is stored in the schedule DB 1. When the setting for notifying that the schedule can be changed is selected by the user, the data of the desired condition described by the user is received and stored in the desired schedule DB2. In the schedule adjustment support system, when the user clicks a “cancel” button, for example, the display of the display content shown in FIG. 6 is terminated.

In this example, the “login name” at the time of schedule reservation is set as a default value so that the name of the administrator of the schedule is displayed. However, it is possible to change the name. is there.
In this example, the default value is that you do not want to be notified ("You don't need to know") as a setting for whether to notify when another time zone (schedule availability) that meets the desired conditions regarding the schedule occurs. However, it may be set as a default value to be desired (“please inform”).
For example, when information is input in an area (text field) where a desired condition related to a schedule can be described, it is considered that the above notification is desired, while information is input in the area. If not, it is also possible to use a configuration for determining that the notification as described above is not desired.

In FIG. 7, when the schedule search unit 7 detects a vacant schedule (schedule candidate) that meets the desired condition, for example, the notification information displayed on the screen by the notification unit 8 or a device carried by the user is displayed. An example of the contents is shown.
Specifically, in the display content shown in the figure, it is possible to advance (accelerate) the implementation time for the schedule for which the user “you” who is the subject of notification is scheduled to participate. A candidate for a schedule that can be set at an earlier time has been found for the schedule of participation, and the text “Do you want to change?” Is a question asking if you want to change the schedule. It is displayed.

  In addition, in the display contents shown in the figure, information on each element such as date and time zone is included in the schedule “schedule of your participation schedule” in which the reservation that the user to be notified is scheduled to participate is confirmed. Information about each element, such as time zone and participating members, is displayed for the desired condition related to the schedule “desired conditions for this schedule”, and the schedule is available to change the schedule to an earlier time Information on each element such as date and time zone is displayed for “candidates that can be reserved”.

  In the schedule adjustment support system, for example, when a button corresponding to one of the schedule vacancy (schedule candidates) is specified by clicking on the “request change request” button, etc., by a user operation, for example, A request for changing the schedule that has been confirmed to be free is received. In the schedule adjustment support system, when a request to change the schedule is permitted, the schedule data before the change is deleted from the schedule DB 1 and the schedule data after the change is stored in the schedule DB 1. In the schedule adjustment support system, when the user clicks the “cancel” button, for example, the display of the display content shown in FIG. 7 is terminated.

FIG. 8 shows an example of display contents displayed on the screen by the notification unit 8 or a device carried by the user when the schedule schedule is different from the actual execution status. Is to confirm to the user.
In this example, the execution state grasping unit 5 detects and grasps the execution state of the schedule in the room where each of the state grasping devices 21a to 21d is installed, for example, regularly or constantly, and stores the data in the schedule DB1. 8 is displayed and the display contents as shown in FIG. 8 are displayed and output when it is detected that the information of each element of the schedule in which the schedule is stored is different from the information of each element in the situation where the schedule is actually executed .

  Specifically, in the display contents shown in the figure, the schedule schedule is different from the actual schedule, "The following is reserved as Mr. A's schedule, but the execution status seems to be different." The text “Do you want to revise?” Is displayed asking whether or not it is, and information on each element such as date and time zone is displayed for the schedule of the schedule, and the schedule in the schedule The information of the element different from is displayed. In the example of the figure, as the information of the element that is different from the actual schedule, the location where “A”, who is scheduled to participate in the schedule, is scheduled to be executed at the current time “11:05” relates to the schedule. The information that it is not a place but another place “self seat” is displayed.

  In addition, in the display contents shown in the figure, the instruction for modifying the schedule of the schedule “If you want to modify, please check and send the following amended parts” is displayed. The scheduled schedule has actually ended or has not ended, but “A” will not participate “The remaining time, A will not participate in Schedule A”, or the scheduled schedule will actually end The equipment “D1” is not used, but “the equipment D1 is not used for the remaining time”, or the scheduled schedule is actually finished or not finished, but the room “ A button (situation designation button) for designating that “R1” is not used by the user, “remaining time, room R1 is not used” is displayed.

  Then, in the schedule adjustment support system, for example, when a “correct” button is clicked in a state where any status designation button is designated by an operation by the user, the execution status grasping unit 5 performs the designated schedule. The execution status is grasped as the actual execution status, and when the schedule is different from the schedule, the schedule is changed to the designated actual execution status. Further, in the schedule adjustment support system, when the user clicks a “do not modify” button, for example, the display of the display contents shown in FIG. 8 is terminated.

  Here, in the schedule adjustment support system of this example, the information of the display contents as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 is transmitted to, for example, a wireless communication device (for example, wireless) Can be transmitted from the notification unit 8 to the machine 23a, 23b) or a personal computer, and the notification can be performed by the wireless communication device or the personal computer. For example, the notification unit 8 or the like stores and manages a mail address of a mobile phone terminal that is a wireless communication device that is a notification partner or a mail address of a personal computer. Send an email with information on the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the Web where the information exists. In this case, the mobile phone terminal or the personal computer displays the received notification information on the screen, Alternatively, the notification information in the site corresponding to the URL information received using the Web browser is displayed and output on the screen.

  In addition, in the alerting | reporting part 8, the aspect which transmits the information regarding notification (notification) with respect to an external radio | wireless communication apparatus etc., the aspect which displays and outputs notification (notification) information on the screen of the said alerting | reporting part 8 itself, Any of these may be used, and a configuration capable of executing both of these aspects may be adopted.

Next, an example of a procedure of processing performed by the schedule adjustment support system of this example is shown.
With reference to FIG. 9, an example of the procedure of the process related to the schedule change performed by the schedule adjustment support system of this example is shown.
In the schedule adjustment support system of this example, the notification request shown in FIG. 5B is set to “present” in the schedule for which the reservation has already been confirmed, for example, at regular timing by the schedule empty search unit 7. It is determined whether or not the set schedule exists (step S1).

  As a result, if it is determined that there is one or more schedules for which the notification request is set to “Yes”, the schedule empty search unit 7 determines that one or more of the schedules are included. The first (first) schedule when arranged in a predetermined arrangement order is set as a variable reserve, and the desired condition set for the schedule is set as a variable wish (step S2). Such processing (step S3 to step S8, step S11 to step S14) is performed. As the predetermined arrangement order, an arbitrary arrangement order may be used. For example, a date order, a time order, or a name order (so-called Aiueo order) may be used.

  In other words, based on the target schedule (reserve) and the desired condition (wish), the result of subtracting the current date and time from the start date and time of the schedule by the schedule empty search unit 7 is the execution time (implementation related to the desired condition) If there is a range in the desired time condition, for example, it is determined whether or not it is larger than the minimum execution time (step S3). If it is larger, it is between the current date and time and the start date and time of the schedule. Then, it is searched whether or not there is a free time zone (schedule free space) that matches the desired condition (step S4). The search is performed by, for example, detecting a time slot that meets a desired condition based on data stored in the desired schedule DB 2 as a schedule vacant from the interval between schedules determined based on the data stored in the schedule DB 1. Done.

  When one or more schedule vacancy (schedule candidate) that matches (matches) the desired condition is detected by the above search (step S5), the schedule vacancy search unit 7 is detected by the notification unit 8. A schedule candidate group consisting of only one schedule vacancy or a plurality of schedule vacancies is notified to the participants of the schedule, and an inquiry is made as to whether or not to change the already determined schedule (step S6).

  As a result, for example, when there is a vacant schedule that is permitted to be changed by all of the persons who are set to confirm the intention to change the schedule among the participants in the schedule (step S11), a change request The registration unit 9 searches again whether or not another schedule has already been registered in the schedule vacancy (step S12). If no other schedule has been registered (step S13), the target already reserved The schedule to be canceled is canceled and deleted, and the schedule is registered to be changed to a schedule vacant in which the intention to change is confirmed by all who need confirmation (step S14). Here, the person who confirms the intention to change the schedule can be, for example, only the administrator, all the participating members, or some of the participating members.

If the result of subtracting the current date and time from the start date and time of the schedule is smaller than the execution time related to the desired condition in the above (step S3), the schedule cannot be advanced, so FIG. The notification request shown in B) is canceled and set to “none” (step S9).
Further, in the above, there is no schedule space that matches the desired condition (that is, there are zero (0)), or when there is such a schedule space and the intention to change cannot be confirmed. (Step S11) Even if the intention to change can be confirmed, if another schedule is already registered in the schedule vacancy (Step S13), the schedule is not changed.

  Thereafter, in the schedule adjustment support system, it is determined whether or not there is another schedule in which the notification request shown in FIG. S7), if it exists, according to a predetermined arrangement order, the next schedule for which there is a notification request is set as a variable reserve, and the desired condition set for the schedule is set as a variable wish (step S8), Processing similar to the above (steps S3 to S8, steps S11 to S14) is performed. If there is no other schedule for which the notification request is set to “present” (step S7), the process is terminated.

With reference to FIG. 10, an example of the procedure of the grasping process of the execution status of the schedule performed by the schedule adjustment support system of this example is shown.
In the schedule adjustment support system, the execution status grasping unit 5 sets the first schedule to the variable exe in a predetermined arrangement order from one or a plurality of schedule groups scheduled to be executed at the current time (step S21). The following processing is performed (steps S22 to S30).

That is, based on the target schedule (variable exe), the execution status grasping unit 5 inspects the utilization status such as the participation status of participating members, the usage status of the equipment, the usage status of the conference room, etc. (Step S22).
As a result, when there is an absent member among the scheduled participating members (step S23), for example, the administrator of the schedule and the absent member are inquired (step S24), and predetermined The process after the inquiry is performed (step S31). Whether or not a specific person exists in a specific conference room is determined based on, for example, identification information transmitted from transmission devices 42a and 42b carried by the person.

  Further, when there is a device that is not used among the scheduled devices (step S25), for example, an inquiry is made to the manager of the schedule or all the members participating in the schedule (step S26). ), Processing after a predetermined inquiry is performed (step S31). Whether or not a specific equipment is used is determined based on, for example, whether or not the equipment is brought into a specific conference room. Such a determination is made based on whether or not a person exists, for example. The identification information is used in the same manner as in the determination.

  In addition, when there is a conference room that is not used among the scheduled conference rooms (step S27), for example, an inquiry is made to the manager of the schedule or all the participating members of the schedule ( Step S28), processing after a predetermined inquiry is performed (step S31). Whether or not a specific conference room is being used is determined based on, for example, whether or not a person (for example, a participating member) exists in the conference room.

  When the execution status of the schedule is grasped as described above, the execution status grasping unit 5 determines whether or not there is another schedule scheduled to be executed at the current time (step S29). In this case, the next schedule is set to the variable exe in a predetermined arrangement order (step S30), and the same processing as described above is performed (step S22 to step S30).

With reference to FIGS. 11A, 11B, and 11C, an example of the procedure of the process after the inquiry related to the execution status described above (step S31) will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5A, for participating members, the execution status grasping unit 5 has received a notification from the administrator or absent member that the absent member will not participate in the schedule for the remaining time. If such a notification is received, the current time is registered as the actual end time for the schedule of the absent member (step S42). ).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 5B, for the equipment, whether or not the execution status grasping unit 5 has received a notification from the administrator or all of the participating members that the equipment will not be used for the remaining time. If such notification is received, the current time is registered in the schedule management unit 6 as the actual use end time for the schedule of the equipment (step S52). .

  Also, as shown in FIG. 6C, for the conference room, has the execution status grasping unit 5 received a notification from the administrator or all of the participating members that the conference room is not used for the remaining time? If such notification is received, the current time is registered in the schedule management unit 6 as the actual use end time for the schedule of the conference room (step S61). Step S62).

As described above, in the schedule adjustment support system of the present example, even if a schedule is once confirmed in response to an actual schedule execution situation such as cancellation or early termination of a scheduled schedule, When a candidate for a schedule vacancy that meets the desired condition is found before the execution of the above, it is possible to notify the person involved in the schedule to investigate the adjustment of the schedule.
In the schedule adjustment support system of this example, as a desired condition regarding the schedule, it is possible to describe an essential condition and a condition that is not so as to be distinguished by a logical expression.

In addition, in the schedule adjustment support system of this example, the current status such as schedule cancellation or early termination is grasped by the execution status grasping function (in this example, the execution status in conjunction with the schedule management function 6). It can be grasped by grasping part 5). Moreover, as the implementation status of the schedule, for example, it is possible to grasp not only the participation status of people but also the usage status of equipment and rooms.
In addition, in the schedule adjustment support system of this example, when the schedule is different from the actual schedule, the fact can be informed and the current status can be grasped. Effective use of resources such as rooms can be achieved.

  Therefore, in the schedule adjustment support system of this example, people, equipment, and rooms that were occupied by meetings that ended earlier than scheduled can be released for execution of other schedules. Can be used. In addition, for example, by notifying the difference between the schedule and the actual schedule, it is possible to make the participants aware that there are equipment or rooms that have been reserved but have been forgotten to be used. It is possible to make the participant (absent member) notice the existence of the schedule that was forgotten. In addition, for example, it is possible to cope with a sudden vacancy in a schedule for a person who is busy and cannot take much time but is required to participate in a conference. Also, for example, it is not necessary for a person to bother to check the availability of equipment and rooms, and if possible, the schedule advance adjustment that is desired to be carried out as soon as possible can be performed efficiently and reliably.

  Also, for example, in a schedule management system used by multiple people, the system grasps that the schedule is different from the actual schedule and presents it to the participants of the schedule. If there is a schedule vacancy that meets the desired conditions even if the reservation is confirmed in advance when the status is acquired or the schedule implementation status changes, it will be indicated to the participants of the schedule. Thus, it is possible to support discovery of an opportunity for early execution of the schedule.
