Description

The present invention realizes, on a computer device, the contents of an execution plan of a certain service, such as data recording at the time of a care plan (care service plan), and the creation, correction, deletion, etc. of the scheduled execution time zone of that service. Planning to do (
More particularly, the present invention relates to a technique for improving the visibility of display display in planning.

  Toward the arrival of an aging society, there is a demand for a technology that properly and appropriately manages a care plan and its scheduled execution time (schedule). The “care plan” is to consider the mental and physical conditions of the person and family and the living environment so that the care service according to the wishes of the person or family who is certified as requiring support or care needs can be used appropriately. A kind of “plan” that defines the type and content of care services to be used. The contents and schedule of the care plan are changed from time to time so that appropriate support services can always be used in consideration of changes in the state of mind and body of the user.

  The contents of the care plan are diverse, and it is difficult to plan, modify, or delete it while ignoring the relevance to individual support services. Therefore, in general, planning (creation, correction, deletion, etc. of plans and schedules) is performed using a computer device. However, the line of sight of the person who performs the planing frequently moves up and down, left and right on the display screen displayed on the display, causing tired eyes and dry eyes. Therefore, a technique for improving visibility has been desired.

  As a conventional technique for improving the visibility of display display in planning, for example, there is a schedule display system described in Patent Document 1. This system is not related to planning, but relates to solving problems when planning using a computer device in terms of improving visibility when a plurality of schedules are displayed on a display.

  Similarly, Patent Document 2 discloses a system that displays character information in a schedule by moving the displayed character information to a line that does not overlap with other character information.

JP 2010-061603 A JP-A-8-30675

The schedule display system described in Patent Document 1 is convenient in that it is possible to easily understand which time zone is available when there are schedules with overlapping time zones. However, this system does not give consideration to the movement of the operator's line of sight when displaying the schedule, and therefore there is a problem that the burden on the operator's body is not necessarily reduced. Remains.
Moreover, in the system described in Patent Document 2, there is an advantage that overlapping display of character information is eliminated, but when setting a schedule, it is not possible to immediately grasp where there is free time, Depending on the purpose of planning, there remains a problem that the visibility is not necessarily improved.

The present invention reduces the burden on the body of the person who performs the planning by improving the visibility of the information displayed on the display at the time of planning, thereby enabling the correct and appropriate planning to be performed quickly. The main challenge is to provide planning technology.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a planning system, a server, a planning method, and a computer program.
In the planning system of the present invention, a flow sheet having a plurality of sections for recording contents of event to be planned or summary information thereof on a virtual memory based on the layout information for planning stored in advance. Flow sheet forming means to be formed, first display control means for displaying the first section of interest on the flow sheet by the operator at a predetermined position of the display, and from the first section to the second section from the operator Receiving means for receiving the switching instruction, specifying the coordinates of the first section and the second section being displayed, obtaining a function defining the switching speed from a predetermined function holding means, and obtaining the difference between the obtained coordinates By moving the relative position of the second partition on the virtual memory to a predetermined position of the display based on the function, The serial second compartment, it and a second display control means for displaying to appear in originally the predetermined position in consecutive changes from the presence position.

  In the planning system configured in this way, when the target section is switched from the first section to the second section, the second section appears at the position of the first section with a continuous change from the position on the flow sheet where it originally existed. Therefore, it is easy to grasp the relative positional relationship between the first section and the second section in the flow sheet, and the second section can be visually recognized without changing the line of sight. It is reduced.

Specifically, the flow sheet is configured to include a set of matrix-like sections including a time zone area that defines an implementation time zone of the event as one of the axes.
The flow sheet forming means, when a section in which the contents of the event in a new implementation time zone or summary information thereof is recorded is added, or when the implementation time zone for any section is modified , Rearranging all the sections in the time zone area direction and changing the size of the sections so that the characters or symbols recorded in the sections do not overlap, the first display control means is added immediately before Alternatively, the corrected section is displayed on the display as the first section.
Thereby, even if a section is added or modified, the operator can confirm the contents without changing the line of sight. In addition, since operations such as screen switching, roll-up, and roll-down are reduced, the operational burden is reduced.

In one embodiment, for each of the sections, by acquiring predetermined layout information for a content display frame including a set of one or a plurality of information pages for recording related information related to the event contents of the section. The content display frame creation means to be created and the content display frame are associated with each other in a one-to-one relationship with a relation line or a balloon line that is unique to each section regardless of a change in the distance to the corresponding section. A planning system is configured with third display control means for displaying on the display.
By creating a content display frame and displaying it with the contents of the section, even if the related information related to the event for each section is so large that it is classified into multiple categories, Information can be visually recognized, and the visual burden is reduced. In addition, by displaying the content display frame in association with a relationship line or a balloon line that is unique to each section, no matter where the content display frame is displayed, a plurality of content display frames can be displayed simultaneously. Even if it is displayed, it is easy to grasp the relationship with each section, and furthermore, the size of information recorded or displayed in each section can be reduced, so the size of the section can be reduced. This makes it easy to look down on the entire flow sheet.

In one embodiment, the plurality of information pages are switched for each page by a rotation animation that changes so as to continuously rotate at a predetermined speed in a front direction or a reverse direction of the page at a fixed position on the display. A planning system is configured with fourth display control means.
Since the information page of the content display frame is switched by the rotation animation, the operator can easily view the related information of a plurality of pages while checking the relevance with the contents of the section without changing the line of sight.

In an embodiment, the information display device of the content display frame is provided with a fifth display control means for displaying the information page of the content display frame at a fixed position on the display by an open animation of a movement of a new display area protruding from the content display frame. Configure the planning system.
For example, only when it is necessary to grasp information of different categories among related information, the display area for displaying the information is displayed by open animation, so that the operator can visually recognize the information in the display area without changing the line of sight. Become.

  The planning method of the present invention is a method of executing by connecting a server and a user terminal via a public line network, and the planning target and the user terminal are respectively determined based on the planning layout information stored in the server in advance. Forming a flow sheet having a plurality of sections for recording the contents of the event or summary information thereof on the virtual memory of the user terminal, and an operator of the user terminal pays attention to the flow sheet Displaying the first section at a predetermined position on the display of the user terminal; receiving a switching instruction from the first section to the second section from the operator; and the first section displayed on the display. The coordinates of the second section are specified, and a function for defining the switching speed is obtained from a predetermined function holding means, and the obtained seat By moving the relative position of the second section on the virtual memory to a predetermined position on the display based on the difference between the second section and the function, the second section is changed continuously from the position where it originally existed. And displaying the image so as to appear at the predetermined position.

The server of the present invention is a kind of computer device that operates according to the first computer program of the present invention, and is a server that is connected to a user terminal having a display via a public network and performs planning in cooperation with the user terminal. It is. The first computer program causes the server to function as follows.

Hereinafter, the present invention is planned for care services to be performed for care recipients in nursing homes, welfare facilities for the elderly, that is, creation and correction of care plans and scheduled times (schedules), and implementation of care (care) ) A description will be given of an embodiment in the case where the present invention is applied to a planning system for managing recording of records or communication records such as taking over of a plurality of caregivers, distribution of a care receiver's room, and the like. The care plan is a care service plan, and is created by the person who performs the plan entering the details of the care to be performed on a specific date and time (start time / end time), and the approver approves it. Is done.
In the following explanation, the specific contents of nursing care, for example, providing meals, vitals for checking blood pressure, pulse, etc. are “events”, information including and relating to the events is “event information”, and the person who performs planning Is referred to as a “planner”.

<< First Embodiment >>
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a planning system according to the present invention.
The planning system 1 includes, as a main component, a server 10 that performs bidirectional communication with a planner or a user terminal 20 operated by an approver through a public communication network N.
In the planning, except for a simple program such as a viewer, the server 10 has a computer program for planning, various forms, contents and other data and data storage means, and the user terminal 20 has a predetermined authority, and the viewer The first form executed by remotely operating the server 10 through the server 10 and part of the planning program including the viewer and part of the data are temporarily downloaded from the server 10 to the user terminal 20 and necessary information is input. There is a second form in which the display on the display is performed by the user terminal 20 and the input result is transmitted to the server 10 to complete the planning.
In this embodiment, the first embodiment will be described.

In the case of adopting the first form, the user terminal 20 outputs a display device for displaying information, a pointing device such as a mouse / keyboard for inputting information, a storage device such as a hard disk, and an RTC that outputs time information indicating the date. (Real
Any computer device may be used as long as it includes a communication function for performing bidirectional communication with the server 10 through the public communication network N and a function for executing information processing by executing a computer program. Further, the user terminal 20 may be any computer device as long as the person (operator) accessing the server 10 can be authenticated. Here, a smartphone or a portable PC (PC is an abbreviation for a personal computer) is assumed, but the present invention is not limited to such a terminal.

  The server 10 includes a communication mechanism that enables exchange of information with the user terminal 20 via the public communication network N, a large-capacity storage means such as an internal memory and a hard disk, hardware resources including various processors, And have a program. The server program controls the above hardware resources, so that the server 10 is controlled by the authority management unit 11, the information reception unit 12, the flow sheet management unit 13, the display frame management unit 14, the display control unit 15, and the database management unit ( DBMS) 16.

The DBMS 16 stores the account DB 161,
The display module DB 162 and the event DB 163 are constructed, and recording / reading to / from these DBs (abbreviation of database, the same applies hereinafter) is controlled.

  In the account DB 161, information for specifying access authority to the server 10, a flow sheet, and necessary data is recorded. An example of information recorded in the account DB 161 is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 2, an account master 1611, a corporate master 1612, a user master 1613, a staff master 1614, and the association of information recorded in each master are shown. The “master” is a type of folder that stores a block of information.

  In the account master 1611, other masters 1612, 1612, 1613, and 1614 are mutually connected in addition to access authority to the server 10, ID (Identification), personal identification information for identifying a care recipient, a caregiver, etc. Information such as a corporate code and a user code for association is recorded. The account master 1611 is also based on the creation date and time, the service type code for identifying the event, the service type name indicating the event type, the approver code for identifying the approver, the approved care plan, and the like. An implementer code for identifying a staff member who cares (cares) the care recipient and records the implementation result is recorded.

  The corporate master 1612 records information related to the operating corporation such as a corporate code for identifying the operating corporation of the facility having the care recipient and the corporate name. The user master 1613 records information about the care recipient such as a user code for identifying the care recipient who uses the facility, the user's name, gender, date of birth, and address. . The staff master 1614 records information about the staff, such as a staff code for identifying the staff working at the facility, the staff name, and the staff's job title (job code identified by the qualification held by the staff). Is done.

The display module DB 162 defines data for forming a flow sheet, a content display frame, and other display areas to be displayed at the time of planning, contents (care items, images, etc.) and other layout information, and an animation speed described later. The function is retained.
The function is, for example, to displace the display area by 150 dots in 2 seconds / rotate 90 degrees in 2 seconds / appear in 2 seconds.
Layout information is recorded hierarchically, the upper layer is for forming flow sheets, content display frames, and other display areas, and the middle layer is a systematic service content for each care scene, that is, multiple care items. For the event identification such as forms defined collectively in the above, the lower layer is layout information for various care items.

  FIG. 3 shows a middle class event identification form (FIG. 3A). In the illustrated example, the form “care when waking up” includes care items such as “change of clothes”, “excretion”, “toothpaste”, and “shaving”. The form “vital” includes care items such as “body temperature”, “blood pressure (upper)”, and “blood pressure (lower)”. In this way, service contents for each care scene can be freely defined. In addition, the same care item, for example, “body temperature” included in the form “vital” may be included in another form (for example, the form “bath” not shown). The data tables A, B, and C (FIG. 3B) for various care items in the lower layer are for recording information corresponding to each care item, for example, for each business establishment. With reference to these pieces of information, a screen displayed during planning is configured.

The event DB 163 records event information input at the user terminal 20.
An example of event information is shown in FIG. In the example of event information shown in the figure, in addition to the above-described user code and corporate code, the event implementation schedule / year / month / day / (start / end) time and implementation / year / month / day / (start / end) ) An approval flag (1: unapproved, 0: approved) indicating whether the time, the scheduled execution person and the implementer, and the event are approved is recorded. In addition, the contents of specific events, for example, the amount of staple food scheduled to be provided to the cared person regarding meals, the amount of staple food (actual) actually eaten by the cared person, and the like are also recorded. This makes it possible to compare the schedule with the actual performance.

  The authority management unit 11, information reception unit 12, flow sheet management unit 13, display frame management unit 14, and display control unit 15 use the information recorded in the DBMS 16 and the DBs 161, 162, and 163 as described below. Perform information processing.

<Authority Management Department>
The authority management unit 11 manages the access authority of the operator of the user terminal 20. Specifically, the account information (ID, password, etc.) in the account DB 161 is registered for each operator, and the operator who has accessed through the user terminal 20 has the right account information registered in the account DB 161. If it is an authorized person, subsequent access is permitted.

<Information reception department>
The information reception unit 12 determines the information input from the user terminal 20 or the contents of various instructions, and distributes the information or the contents of the instructions to other functional parts according to the determined contents.

<Flow sheet management department>
The flow sheet management unit 13 forms on the virtual memory a flow sheet having a plurality of sections for recording the contents of events to be planned or summary information thereof. The virtual memory is constructed in the internal memory, and is constructed with a size that further expands the displayable area (viewer area 201 described later) of the display. As this technique itself, a known memory expansion technique can be used.
For example, the flow sheet includes a set of two-dimensional matrix-like sections in which the X-axis direction is a date region and the Y-axis direction is a time zone (start time / end time). For example, a time zone from 00:00 to 23:59 is assigned to the date area, for example, for 14 days, and the time zone area is recorded in the display module DB 152 for each care recipient. It is formed in a layout that can be identified by ID using information.
The flow sheet management unit 11 adds a new event time zone, deletes an unnecessary event zone, or corrects the time zone for each zone. It also has a function of rearranging all sections in the direction and changing the size of the sections so that characters or symbols recorded in the sections do not overlap.

<Display frame management section>
The display frame management unit 14 creates and corrects a content display frame and other display frames, which will be described later, and draws relation lines and balloon lines. Also, a dragging flag indicating whether or not a drag is being performed by a mouse operation (ON is permitted), a rotation animation rotation direction flag (front direction, reverse direction), which will be described later, and the like are managed.

<Display control unit>
The display control unit 15 controls various display modes including a display position of information necessary for planning on the display of the user terminal 20 being accessed. In the present embodiment, the first display control unit 151 that controls the basic display mode of the flow sheet 200, the second display control unit 152 that controls the display mode such as a moving animation described later, and the display frame management unit 14 in particular. A third display control unit 153 that controls the display mode of the created content display frame, relationship line, and balloon line, a fourth display control unit 154 that controls a display mode such as a rotation animation described later, and an open animation described later A fifth display control unit 155 for controlling various display modes.

[Operational form]
Next, in the planning system configured as described above, an operation mode example when the planner operates the user terminal 20 to plan a care plan will be described.

<Planning preparation>
First, with reference to FIG. 15, a procedure until the planner logs in the server 10 and prepares for planning will be described.
When the planner inputs account information (step S101: Yes), the account information is transmitted from the user terminal 20 to the server 10 (step S102). The server 10 collates the transmitted account information with the registered account information, and if they match, permits login by the planner (step S103: Yes).
When the login is permitted, the server 10 acquires layout information and other various data necessary for planning from the display module DB 162, for example. The data to be acquired is specified by the ID at the time of input. When the various data are acquired (step S104: Yes), an input / confirmation screen is displayed on the display based on the data (step S105). Information that has already been input can be confirmed, and if it is new, the input of event information is awaited. This prepares for planning.
In the care plan, events for care recipients are performed in chronological order, so in this embodiment, for each care recipient, a flow sheet is created, and a part of this flow sheet is displayed on the display, This is the input / confirmation screen.
The same procedure is used when the approver, the person in charge of the event, etc. log in.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the input / confirmation screen, and shows a partial region of the above-described flow sheet. The flow sheet 200 includes a viewer area 201 and a sub area 202 for simply displaying approved or unapproved event information in addition to the identification name of the care recipient (“Jiro Ozora”). In the viewer area 201, a time zone area 203 in the Y-axis direction and a date area 204 in the X-axis direction are formed so that a section of a time zone with a certain date can be specified.

<Event information input and display>
The event information is sequentially input through the input window that is displayed separately while selecting the corresponding section of the sections on the flow sheet described above. However, the size of each section is small and it is desired to overlook as wide a range as possible. Therefore, the event information corresponding to each section can be expressed only by the title of the event separately from the input content, or by the icon that represents the content of the event. It is expressed simply by combining. Data simply expressed in this way is referred to as “plot data” in this specification.
The plot data is automatically created when the event information is input, and is displayed in the corresponding section of the viewer area 201. Since the input event information is associated with the displayed plot data, it can be called on the screen at any time by giving an instruction by clicking the plot data or a section where the plot data exists.
Note that the size of the section and the display size of the plot data may be optimized according to the size of the plot data displayed in the matrix.

  In the sub area 202, only information on a specific area of the flow sheet 200, for example, events (or plot data) of all time periods of a specific date are extracted and displayed, or all time periods of all dates are extracted in a predetermined order. Can be displayed. In the example of FIG. 5, an example is shown in which the time zone of 12th (day) is displayed on the left side, the event information of the time zone is displayed in the center, and the approval / non-approval flag is displayed on the right side.

  Here, the approval / non-approval flag will be described. When planning a care plan, approval for each input event information is required. Therefore, all the event information input by the planner is in a state where an unapproved flag is set (not approved: 1) at the time of input. The unapproved flag is displayed as “not yet” in the sub-area 202 shown in FIG. On the other hand, the status is changed to an approval flag indicating that the plan has been confirmed when approved by the approver (approved: 0). As a result, the display in the sub area 202 is changed (updated) to “approved”. In the viewer area 201, unapproved event information is displayed in a broken line frame, and approved event information is displayed in a solid line frame. An operation for confirming an unapproved event (change to the approval flag) is realized by the approver clicking the broken line frame through the user terminal 20 a predetermined number of times or by performing a keyboard operation after one click.

<Send event information>
The input event information is recorded in the temporary storage area of the user terminal 20 until a predetermined timing or a predetermined amount of data, and then transmitted to the server 10.
When modifying already input event information or approving event information as described above, if the event information has not yet been transmitted to the server 10, it is read from the temporary storage area of the user terminal 20 as necessary. You can make corrections and update the approval flag. On the other hand, if it has already been transmitted to the server 10, the user terminal 20 requests the server 10 to extract the event information to be corrected or approved. Thereby, the event information can be displayed again on the user terminal 20 and necessary corrections or approvals can be made.

[Display format of event information, etc.]
Care plan contents are diverse, it is difficult to plan by ignoring the relevance of event information, and the gaze of the person who plans while looking at the display is moving up and down the display screen displayed on the display As described above, frequent movement from side to side can cause fatigue and dry eyes. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the display of the viewer area 201 is changed when checking the already input event information or the section for inputting new event information on the flow sheet 200, the state before and after the display change is grasped. Various display modes that make it easy to perform are realized. Hereinafter, these display modes and display control procedures therefor will be described.

(1) Moving animation When an operator of the user terminal 20, for example, a planner, pays attention to a certain section (or section group) on the viewer area 201 (flow sheet 200), is changed to another section that is not currently displayed. In order to make it easier to grasp from which position of the flow sheet 200 the other section has moved and appeared in the viewer area 201, the section is moved by a continuous slow change. Such a change is called “animation”, and when the area (display area) displayed in the viewer area 201 is displaced, it is particularly called “movement animation”.

  As described above, the flow sheet management unit 13 forms the flow sheet 200 on a virtual memory having a size larger than that of the viewer area 201. The moving animation can be realized by moving the display area of the viewer area 201 from the section that the planner currently focuses on in the flow sheet 200 to another section that is to be focused on at a predetermined speed in the virtual memory. It is. The movement destination is a predetermined position in the viewer area 201, for example, a substantially central position.

  Information processing for realizing this moving animation will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 6 to 8. FIG. 6 is an example in the case where all the pieces of event information are already approved in the flow sheet 200 shown in FIG. Currently, the event information that the planner is paying attention to is “nursing vital” 212 scheduled to be executed at 09:00 on Monday, June 13, and the section of the event information is arranged almost at the center of the viewer area 201. ing. Unlike the one shown on the right side of FIG. 5, the sub-region 202 shows the contents of all event information after the implementation date and time of the event information that the planner is currently paying attention to.

  When the display has such display contents, the display control when the event information to be noticed is switched to the “living activity” 213 scheduled to be executed at 15:00 on Saturday, June 18 at the bottom of the sub-region 202. FIG. 15 shows the control procedure by the unit 15 (second display control unit 152), and FIGS. 7 and 8 show the concept of the processing.

Referring to FIG. 16, when it is detected that the event information to be switched is newly selected (step S201: Yes), the display control unit 15 includes the scheduled event to be included in the selected event information. The date / time zone is acquired (step S202).
Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the origin (origin A) of the currently displayed “nursing vital” section (section A) and the origin of the newly selected “life activity” section (section B) (Origin B) is calculated from the relative positional relationship (coordinates) between the time zone area 203 and the date area 204 in the entire flow sheet 200 (A), respectively (step S203). The origin is the upper left corner in the example of FIG. 7, but may be any position as long as it is common to each section.
Thereafter, a function for determining the moving speed is acquired from the display module DB 162, and moving animations A and B for moving the display area from the origin A of the current section A to the origin B of the next section B are simultaneously performed. (Step S204).

The movement animations A and B are performed as follows.
In the example of FIG. 7, the coordinates of the origin A are (100, 150) and the coordinates of the origin B are (700, 300). Therefore, the amount of change from the origin A to the origin B is 600 dots by the movement animation A in the X-axis direction and 150 dots by the movement animation B in the Y-axis direction. Due to the change of the origin, the section B that has not been displayed in the current viewer area 201 appears to appear in the viewer area 201 from a predetermined direction. Since the moving animations A and B allow the process of changing the display contents of the viewer area 201 to be viewed slowly and continuously, the planner can easily grasp the relative positional relationship between the sections. .

  There are various movement patterns by moving animation. For example, in the graph shown in FIG. 8, the vertical axis defines the movement amount (dots), and the horizontal axis defines the time (seconds). In the movement animation A, 600 dots are linearly increased over 2 seconds, and in the movement animation B, Increase 150 dots non-linearly over 2 seconds. As a result, the state of change in the X-axis direction and the state of change in the Y-axis direction appear to move at different speeds, and the relative positional relationship of the individual sections in the entire flow sheet 200 (A) is , Making it easier to grasp. These patterns are determined by the functions described above.

Here, instead of the approval / unapproval flag, an example in which these are used as the implementation / non-execution flag will be described focusing on the characteristic part. In the unit sheet 300 shown in FIG. 9, unlike a flow sheet displayed for each care recipient, for example, a plurality of care recipients who are in charge of a certain staff are grouped as one unit and displayed for each unit. . In the sub-region 302 shown in FIG. 9, event information for each time zone of a specific date is displayed for all the care recipients constituting the unit. Further, in the viewer area 301 shown in FIG. 9, event information determined as a result to be described later is displayed. In the example of FIG. 9, an example is shown in which the time zone is displayed on the left side, the event information of the time zone is displayed in the center, and the execution / unexecuted flag is displayed on the right side.
The execution / non-execution flag is, for example, a state in which a non-execution flag is set (unreal: 1) if an event of a certain care recipient has not yet been performed. Is displayed. On the other hand, when the event is executed and the same operation as the change to the approval flag is performed and the result is confirmed, the state is changed to the state of the execution flag (implementation: 0). As a result, the sub area 302 is changed (updated) to “Done”. In the viewer area 301, for example, according to plot data, unexecuted event information is displayed in a broken line frame, and performed event information is displayed in a solid line frame. As a result, the implementation status of events for more care recipients can be ascertained within a limited display area, and the number of events that have already been performed is confirmed while confirming the details of events that should be implemented in a certain period of time. Can also be confirmed.

(2) Content display frame and relation line, etc. By overlaying the cursor on the plot data or clicking the plot data with a mouse operation, detailed information corresponding to the plot data can be displayed in the content display frame that appears separately. .
The content display frame 215 shown in FIG. 10 is created by the display frame management unit 14, and is superimposed and displayed on the flow sheet 200 in the viewer area 201 so as to be displaceable by the display control unit 15 (third display control unit 153). It is possible to make multiple appearances.
Each content display frame 215 is connected to the corresponding plot data by a relation line so that it can be determined at a glance which content display frame 215 is associated with which plot data. The relationship line is also created by the display frame management unit 14 and expressed in a display mode unique to the plot data (for example, color and thickness). The linked positions are determined by coordinates, and even if the content display frame 215 is moved, one point on the outer periphery of the content display frame 215 is newly calculated at the position where the movement is stopped. Thereby, the state where both were connected is always maintained.

Information processing for enabling such a display mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 10. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a procedure such as control performed by the display frame management unit 14 and the display control unit 15 (third display control unit 153).
That is, when plot data of a certain section on the flow sheet 200, for example, “nursing vital” as shown in FIG. 9 is selected (step S301: Yes), the display frame management unit 14 obtains layout information from the display module DB 162. It acquires and creates the content display frame 215, and the display control part 15 displays it on the display of the user terminal 20 (step S302).

In the content display frame 215, a header area and a data area are formed. In the vicinity of the center of the header area, content that directly expresses a section related to the frame, for example, “nursing vital” that represents service content is displayed.
A pin image 216 and a switching instruction image 217 are also drawn in the header area.
The pin image 216 is an icon representing permission or restriction of movement, editing, page switching, or the like of the display frame. When the pin image 216 is in the stabbed state (standing state), the pin image 216 is permitted or unplugged ( Since the information indicating that it is restricted is generated when it is in a lying state), it is possible to determine whether the display frame management unit 14 can move, edit, or the like. The pin image 216 shifts to permission / restriction by clicking once, and returns to the original state by clicking twice.
The switching instruction image 217 is an icon for instructing page switching when the frame includes a plurality of pages. This will be described later.
The data area is an area for displaying various data related to the plot data.
The display frame management unit 14 acquires content data to be displayed in the content display frame 215 from the display module DB 162, arranges it according to the content form, and displays it on the content display frame 215 (step S302).
The display frame management unit 14 acquires the current coordinates of the plot data section corresponding to the displayed content display frame 215, and the relation line 218 from the acquired current coordinates of the section to the current coordinates of the content display frame 215. Is drawn (step S303).

  When dragging (by mouse operation) to the header area of the content display frame 215 is started (step S304: Yes), the display frame management unit 14 monitors the state of the pin image 216 displayed in the header area. If it is lying (step S305: Yes), it is assumed that this dragging is permitted, the dragging flag is set to ON (permitted state) (step S306), and detection of whether or not the dragging state is started (step S306). Step S307). If dragging is being performed (step S307: Yes), the previous mouse coordinates (mouse pointer coordinates before dragging) are subtracted from the current mouse coordinates (mouse pointer coordinates), and the mouse movement amount (movement amount by the drag operation). Is calculated (step S308).

The display frame management unit 14 adds the calculated mouse movement amount to the origin coordinates of the content display frame 215 at the previous operation, that is, at the start of dragging, and calculates the current coordinates (coordinates after the start of dragging) of the content display frame 215. (Step S309). Then, the display control unit 15 moves the content display frame 215 to the calculated current coordinates of the content display frame 215 (step S310).
The display frame management unit 14 acquires the current coordinates of the plot data section corresponding to the dragged content display frame 215 (step S311), and from the acquired current coordinates of the section to the current coordinates of the content display frame 215. The relationship line 218 is newly drawn (step S312). When dragging of the content display frame 215 is stopped (step S307: No), the dragging flag is set to OFF (non-permitted state) (step S313), and the process ends.

  In this way, by connecting the plot data and the content display frame 215 with the relation line 218, it is possible to determine at a glance which content display frame 215 is about which plot data (section). Become. The position connected by the relationship line 218 is determined by the coordinates, and even if the content display frame 215 is moved, one point on the outer periphery of the content display frame 215 is newly calculated at the position where the movement is stopped. The state where both are connected is always maintained by the relationship line 218. When displaying a large number of content display frames 215 in the viewer area 201 at the same time, it is convenient because it is possible to easily identify which content display frame 215 belongs to which plot data.

  As another example of the method of expressing the connection between the plot data (its section) and the content display frame 215, in FIG. 11A, the plot data displayed in the viewer area 201 and the content display frame are the balloon lines. 219. Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, a plurality of content display frames 215 and relationship lines 218 corresponding to the plot data on a one-to-one basis can be simultaneously displayed.

(3) Rotation animation of content display frame When the page of the content display frame 215 is switched to another page and displayed, the page can be continuously changed while the content display frame 215 is rotated. Such a change is called “rotation animation”. The principle of rotation animation will be described with reference to FIG.
The rotation animation is realized by rotating and displaying a plurality of content display frames 215 each associated with a content form like a windmill. FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically showing a state in which the rotation process is seen from the upper part in the Y-axis direction as a set of four pairs of content display frames 215 and content forms 230. A page is constituted by the content form 230 on the content display frame 215. Each page has a relationship like one impeller of a windmill. In the example of FIG. 13, four pages of A, B, C, and D obtained by rotating 90 degrees each are shown.

The rotation animation includes a rotation animation A from the front (front) side to the back (back) side and a rotation animation B from the back (back) side to the front (front) side. Both can be determined by a preset “rotation direction flag”.
The replacement of the content form 230 is performed when the content display frame 215 is not displayed. For example, when a certain content form is displayed in the state of FIG. 13A, the content form 230 of the content display frame 215 in the state of B (90 degrees) is switched. The replaced content form is displayed on the front side in the direction of viewing in the state A (360 degrees) through the state D (270 degrees).

  FIGS. 12A to 12D show a situation where the rotation animation is actually applied. FIG. 12A is a display example of the content display frame 215 corresponding to the plot data “Vital” on the flow sheet 200. FIGS. 12B and 12C show a process in which the content display frame 215 is rotating, and FIG. 12D shows a state when one rotation animation is completed. This rotation animation makes it possible to grasp that there are a plurality of detailed information corresponding to the plot data and information on each page without changing the line of sight on the flow sheet 200.

Information processing for realizing the display mode as shown in FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 18 shows a control procedure performed by the display frame management unit 14 and the display control unit 15 (fourth display control unit 154).
The display frame management unit 14 detects that the instruction switching button image 217 has been clicked in a state where page switching is permitted (a state where the pin image 216 is lying down) (Step S401: Yes) (Step S401). S402: Yes), it is determined that page switching is permitted, and the rotation direction flag is confirmed (step S403).
If the rotation direction flag indicates the rotation in the front direction (step S404: Yes), the front (table) is set as the current page group (step S405), while the rotation direction flag indicates the rotation in the front direction. If not indicated (step S404: No), the back (back) is set as the current page group (step S406). Current means that it is currently being displayed. If the displayed page is the current page and there are a plurality of pages, the current page group is set.
The display frame management unit 14 performs a rotation animation in which the direction of the content display frame 215 is determined by the rotation direction flag from 0 degrees to 90 degrees (step S407), and the content form and content data corresponding to the current page in the current group page Are acquired (step S408). The display control unit 15 sets and displays the acquired content form in the content display frame 215 (step S409), sets the acquired content data in the set content form (step S410), and displays the content display frame. In order to display 215 at a certain position in the viewer area 201, a rotation animation is performed from 270 degrees to 360 degrees, that is, until the content display frame 215 is displayed in front (step S411).

  In this rotation animation, for example, a rotation animation for rotating the content display frame 215 from 0 degrees to 90 degrees is performed in 0.5 seconds. In seconds, the transparency of the front (front) is from 1 to 0, that is, completely opaque to completely transparent, and the transparency of the back (back) is from 0 to 1, that is, completely transparent to completely opaque. It is also possible to execute animations that change to the respective states at the same time, and then perform rotation animations from 270 degrees to 360 degrees. As a result, since all animations can be completed in a total of 1 second, pages can be switched quickly. Further, the rotation speed during the rotation animation may be changed according to the rotation direction flag. Moreover, it is also possible to make a curvilinear rotation animation by a non-linear function, and in this case, it becomes possible to appeal more visually.

(4) Open animation It is also possible to make an animation of a movement that a new display area protrudes from the content display frame 215. Such an animation is called “open animation”.
For example, in the content display area 215 (a) shown in FIG. 21 (a), in addition to the content display area that is part of the event information, a detailed information display area for displaying the detailed information of the content is displayed. Although formed by the frame management unit 14, the height of the detailed information display area when detailed information display is not requested is 0 dot, and thus is not displayed in the content display frame 215 (a).
By clicking a predetermined instruction button image with a mouse operation, the display control unit 15 (fifth control unit 155) performs display control so that a detailed display area protrudes. A content display frame 215 (b) shown in FIG. 21 (b) shows a state where the detailed information display area protrudes. A state in which the height of the detailed information display area is 100 dots is shown.
This open animation is realized by linearly moving the height of the detailed information display area in the Y-axis direction over 2 seconds.

  Thus, since the detailed information display area appears from the content display frame 215 by the open animation, for example, it is visually appealed that different categories of information are displayed, and the visibility is improved. In addition, since it is possible to check information without moving the planner's line of sight largely up and down, left and right, the visibility is improved and the burden can be reduced.

(5) Automatic editing of display position at time zone correction For example, a display form in the case of correcting a scheduled event execution time zone will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 14A shows a state in which two types of plot data 221 and 222 relating to “life activity” are displayed in the time zone 10:00 of the viewer area 201. The first plot data 221 has a start time at 10:20, and the other plot data 222 has a start time at 10:45. FIG. 14B shows that the information of the plot data 222 whose start time is 10:45 is corrected. The pin image is lying down. FIG. 14C shows a state in which the start time for the plot data 222 is corrected to 10:05. Depending on the correction time, the plot data may be displayed overlapping each other. Therefore, when the start time is corrected, the plot data is displayed in the viewer area 201 based on the start time of each plot data including the start time after correction. Are rearranged (rearranged). FIG. 14D shows a state in which the viewer area 201 is rearranged in accordance with the correction of the start time of the plot data 222 in FIG.

The processing procedure of the correction of the start time and the rearrangement (rearrangement) of the corrected plot data will be described with reference to FIGS.
This processing is performed by the flow sheet management unit 13 and the display control unit 15. That is, when the plot data is being dragged (step S501: Yes), the flow sheet management unit 13 acquires the coordinates of the time zone area of the plot data being dragged (step S502), and Y of the acquired time zone area. From the coordinates, the line number (current line number) of the corresponding vertical header area and the height of the line (height of the current line) are acquired (step S503). The current line is a section of a time zone area, for example, a section at 10:00 and a section at 11:00.
It is determined whether the plot data has been dragged beyond the section of the time zone area, that is, whether the current line has changed from the previous time (step S504). If the current line has changed from the previous time (step S504: Yes), a preset value is set. The start time of the current row number is calculated from the start time of the first row (step S505), and the number of pixels per minute is calculated from the height of the current row (step S506).
If the current line has not changed from the previous time (step S504: No), or after processing step S506, the start time of the current line number, the number of pixels per minute of the current line number, and the time display area being dragged The time (current time) is calculated from the Y coordinate (step S507), and the current time is converted into a time obtained by dividing 1 hour every 5 minutes, for example, and set in the time property of the plot data. It is displayed (step S508). If the dragging of the plot data is stopped (step S501: No), the process proceeds to the plot data rearrangement process (step S509).

Hereinafter, the plot data rearrangement process with the corrected start time will be described.
The line number of the corresponding vertical header is acquired from the time properties of all the plot data, and set in the line number property of the plot data (step S510). Thereby, each plot data is associated with a section of the time zone region.
Line numbers are extracted in order from the first line of the vertical header (step S511), and if the line numbers can be extracted (step S512: No), the plot data holding the extracted line numbers are sorted in chronological order and all Extraction (step S513), the start Y coordinate of the extracted line number is set in "current plot start Y coordinate" (step S514), and one item is extracted from the extracted plot data (current plot data) (step S515) .
If the current plot data is extracted (step S516: No), the “current plot start Y coordinate” of the designated line number is set in the Y coordinate of the plot data, and the display data necessary for displaying the plot data is displayed. Is also set (step S517), a margin is added to the height of the current plot data in "current plot start Y coordinate" (step S518), and the process proceeds to step S515 again. If the current plot data cannot be extracted (step S518). Step S516: Yes), the next line number is extracted and the above-described processing is repeated.

  If there is no line number to be extracted (step S512: Yes), all plot data are displayed (step S519). The display of all plot data refers to a system state, and only the plot data displayed in the viewer area can actually be visually recognized.

[Utilization of display according to this embodiment]
Since the plot data is displayed in the viewer area 201 in which the time zone area 203 is displayed, the planning can be advanced while looking over the relative positions of the events in the flow sheet 200 in time series. Further, since the plot data is always displayed at a predetermined position in the viewer area 201, for example, near the center, the planner does not have to move his / her line of sight largely up and down, left and right, and the burden is reduced.
When plot data is displayed in the viewer area 201, it is visually recognized as if it has moved from the outside of the viewer area 201 to the vicinity of the center of the viewer area 201 by the moving animation. This makes it easier to understand relationships and makes planning easier.

  The contents of the event information corresponding to the plot data specified by the mouse operation are displayed in the content display frame 215, and further connected to each other by the relation line 218 or the like and displayed in the viewer area 201. The contents can be confirmed by a simple operation, and each connection can be seen at a glance to improve visibility.

The execution start time of the event is displayed in the time zone area 203 of the plot data displayed in the viewer area 201, and the execution start time can be corrected by moving the plot data in parallel with the time zone area 203. It can be done easily. This reduces the operational burden on the planner. In addition, since the time zone area 203 changes in conjunction with the time information at the dragged position as the user moves, the desired correction time can be easily confirmed, which contributes to improved visibility. it can.
Even if the execution start time is corrected, based on the time information of each plot data including the corrected execution start time, they are rearranged (rearranged) without overlapping and displayed in the viewer area 201, respectively. It can contribute to the improvement of visibility.

  Since the matrix frame defined by the time zone area 203 and the date area 204 has an optimized size according to the number of plot data to be displayed in the matrix frame, a large amount of plot data is displayed on the screen of the viewer area 201. Will be displayed. Since the number of plot data that can be viewed over time increases, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of visibility.

  Since the information can be displayed on the front and back sides of the content display frame 215, the planner can check the contents of events in different categories without changing the line of sight, and visually recognizes the contents by dividing them into categories. It also contributes to improving the performance.
