  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, in the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment, a CPU 1, a display device 2, a memory 3, an external storage device 4, and an input device 5 are connected via a bus 6 so that at least communication with the CPU 1 is possible. Each component is representative of a known information processing apparatus, and is not limited to this configuration.

  The CPU 1 reads a program code stored in a ROM (not shown), or downloaded from the outside via the bus 6 or stored in an external storage device, and is expanded in a RAM or memory 3 (not shown) and is in accordance with the program code. Execute control. The display device 2 is a device having a display function such as liquid crystal or CRT. The memory 3 is a storage element that can be written and erased, and the external storage device 4 is composed of, for example, a large-capacity hard disk. The input device 5 is for performing an input operation by direct operation by a user such as a keyboard, a pointer, or a touch panel.

2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating a display state of the indicator according to the first embodiment.
In the first embodiment, the indicator is displayed by two bars: a strip-shaped bar divided according to the target time ratio of each task, and a strip-shaped bar that displays the actual working time on the same time scale as the bar. It is configured so that the progress status can be intuitively grasped in real time.

  As shown in these drawings, the indicator according to the first embodiment includes two strip-like bars 10 and 11 displayed on the display device 2 in parallel in the vertical direction. The indicator is displayed at a predetermined position on the display screen of the display device 2, and the upper bar 10 indicates the elapsed time and the lower bar 11 indicates the target time. That is, the upper side is the elapsed time bar 10 and the lower side is the target time bar 11. The display position of the indicator can be moved to an arbitrary position on the display screen by a user operation.

  FIG. 2 shows an initial state of the indicator work (immediately after the start), and FIG. 3 shows a state after the work progresses. In the example of this figure, the degree of progress of the three tasks A, B, and C is shown, and the ratio of the bar lengths represents the target time ratio of each task. As the work starts, a strip-shaped bar 10 indicating the elapsed time extends.

  FIG. 3 shows a state in which three operations A, B, and C are completed. In this example, the operations A, B, and C are not all completed within the target times 11a, 11b, and 11c. Therefore, the time scale of the target time is reduced as the elapsed time increases, and the length of the target time bar 11 is reached. Is reduced and displayed as compared with FIG. Thereby, the relationship between the target time and the elapsed time can be intuitively understood visually. Further, the portions 10a, 10b, and 10c that have passed the target times 11a, 11b, and 11c of the operations A, B, and C are displayed in different colors (indicated by halftone dots in the figure). Thereby, the excess after work can be easily grasped visually.

The display in FIGS. 2 and 3 is controlled by the CPU 1. The CPU 1 performs the following display control on the indicator. That is,
1) Set the work and display the target time in full scale before starting the work (state of the target time bar 11 in FIG. 2).
2) When the operation is started, the elapsed time is displayed in real time based on the set scale (the state of the elapsed time bar 10 in FIG. 2).
3) In this example, since the work is performed in the order of A, B, and C, when the target time 11a of the work A elapses, the display color is changed from the time point and the elapsed time 10a is measured in real time. indicate.
4) When the work A is completed, the process proceeds to the next work B, and the process of the work B is executed.

5) When the processing of the work B is not completed within the target time 11b and the target time has elapsed, the display color is changed from the elapsed time and the elapsed time is displayed in real time (reference numeral 10b).
6) When the operation B is completed, the operation C is continued to the next operation C, and the processing of the operation C is executed.
7) When the processing of the work C is not completed within the target time 11c and the target time has elapsed, the display color is changed from the time when the time has elapsed, and the elapsed time is displayed in real time (reference numeral 10c).
8) When the work is completed before the target time, the elapsed time of the next work is displayed in real time following the work.
9) In the process of executing operations A, B, and C, if the total time of each operation has passed the final target time, the target time is full scale, and the elapsed time cannot be displayed. Therefore, the target time bar 12 is relatively reduced in accordance with the extension of the elapsed time bar 11 (reference numerals 11a ′, 11b ′, 11c ′) so that the relative relationship between the elapsed time and the target time can be visually recognized. . In that case, the scale for displaying the time is reduced from the initial state as the time is extended.

10) When all the operations are completed by completing the operation C, the display state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained (reference numerals 10 'and 11'). When displayed in this manner, the actual work times of the tasks A, B, and C are divided by color and displayed in comparison with the target time. The relationship can be judged at a glance.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the target time of each work and the time actually taken, in other words, the progress status of the actual work with respect to the target time can be grasped at a glance.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a display state of the indicator according to the second embodiment.
In the second embodiment, each section divided for each work is freely colored. In this embodiment, operations A and C are operations via the network, and operation B is an operation not via the network. In the case of passing through the network, the end time depends on the line state. To indicate this, the target times 11a "and 11c" of the tasks A and C in the target time bar 12 and the target time 11b "of the task B are shown. Different colors are distinguished.

  In this way, by changing the color of work including specific conditions, it is possible to visually and easily convey more information to the user.

  In addition, it is also possible to apply Example 2 to Example 1 and to change and display the colors used for the operations A, C, and B when the target time has elapsed with respect to the display state of FIG. . Further, display control not specifically described is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily grasp the progress of work even when there are a large number of work or work with different conditions.

5 and 6 are diagrams showing the display state of the indicator according to the third embodiment.
In the third embodiment, the ratio between the target time and the actual work time is displayed as a percentage. 5 and 6 correspond to FIGS. 2 and 3 in the first embodiment, respectively, FIG. 5 shows an initial state, and FIG. 6 shows a state after progress. In the example of FIG. 5, the ratio of the elapsed time to the target time is displayed as a percentage (reference numeral 12) on the right side of the belt-like bar 11. In this state, it can be understood numerically that the progress is 10% of the target. In the example of FIG. 6, since the work time has passed the target time, it is displayed with a percentage exceeding 100% (reference numeral 13). If this state is the work end state, the work time is 180% of the target time, and it can be understood at a glance that the work time is increased by 80%.

  Note that display control not specifically described is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Needless to say, display control similar to that of the present embodiment can be performed in the second embodiment.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the progress status of the actual work with respect to the target time can be easily grasped numerically.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display state of the indicator according to the fourth embodiment.
In the fourth embodiment, when there is a change in the working state, the change content is displayed with a small icon inside the belt-like bar, or the color of the bar is changed and displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 7, there is a small clock-shaped icon 20 in the middle of the operation B, and the color of the bar 21 at that portion changes. This indicates that the operation has been suspended by the user. As described above, when the work state is changed, the change of the work state can be recognized at a glance by displaying the icon 20 or displaying the icon 20 in combination with the bar color. Thereby, it is possible to easily grasp the cause of the change in the work state. Here, the icon is a clock-like one, but the shape of the icon is not limited.

  In addition, display control not specifically described is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Note that it is needless to say that the second embodiment and / or the third embodiment can be appropriately combined and displayed in the present embodiment.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the cause of the difference between the actual work time and the target time can be readily understood from the display.
