  First, an outline of an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the reference numerals of the drawings attached to the outline are attached to the respective elements for convenience as an example for facilitating understanding, and the description of the outline is not intended to be any limitation.

  As described above, even if the scheduled time is determined for a predetermined schedule, the schedule cannot actually be executed as scheduled. Therefore, a portable device that changes the scheduled time for a predetermined schedule according to the situation is desired.

  Therefore, as an example, the portable device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is provided. The portable device 100 includes a storage unit 101 that stores a scheduled time related to completion of a predetermined task, a schedule time setting unit 102 that sets a schedule time of a task based on the scheduled time, and a schedule for changing the schedule time A schedule information acquisition unit 103 that acquires information, and a schedule time change unit 104 that changes the schedule time based on the schedule information.

  The portable device 100 controls the schedule time related to the schedule based on the scheduled time related to the completion of the task. Specifically, first, the storage unit 101 stores a scheduled time for task completion (step S1001). The schedule time setting unit 102 sets the task schedule time based on the scheduled time (step S1002). The schedule time is a scheduled time related to a schedule for executing one or more tasks. Specifically, the schedule time is, for example, a start time or an end time of a predetermined schedule.

  Here, the schedule may be changed due to various factors. Therefore, the schedule information acquisition unit 103 acquires schedule information related to the schedule change (step S1003). Then, based on the acquired schedule information, the schedule time changing unit 104 changes the schedule time (step S1004). Therefore, the portable device 100 can change the scheduled time regarding a predetermined schedule according to the situation.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
The first embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the internal configuration of the portable device 1. The portable device 1 includes a control unit 10, a notification unit 20, a timer unit 30, and a storage unit 40. The control unit 10 includes a movement state estimation unit 11, a schedule time setting unit 12, a schedule information acquisition unit 13, a schedule time change unit 14, and an alarm operation unit 15. For the sake of simplicity, FIG. 2 mainly describes modules related to the portable device 1 according to the present embodiment.

  Below, the schedule at the time of moving from the departure station to the destination station by train will be described as an example. In the following, the above schedule time means the estimated arrival time at the destination station.

  Therefore, the fact that the train runs or the train stops is called a task. Then, maintaining the state where the train is running or the state where the train is stopped is referred to as “execution of a task”. In addition, the time required to actually complete the task is called execution time. Therefore, in the following, the execution time means the actual travel time between the stations, or the actual stop time at each station. Furthermore, the above-mentioned scheduled time means a scheduled traveling time for traveling between the stations, or a scheduled stop time at each station.

  The schedule time setting unit 12 sets the estimated arrival time at the target station as the schedule time. The schedule time setting unit 12 can set the scheduled arrival time based on the scheduled time stored in the storage unit 40.

  The alarm operating unit 15 operates an alarm at the scheduled time. That is, the alarm operating unit 15 operates the notification unit 20 at the scheduled time. Hereinafter, the time when the alarm is activated is referred to as the alarm activation time.

  The notification unit 20 is preferably a sound report unit 21, a vibrator unit 22, or an LED (Light Emitting Diode) unit 23. The sound reporting unit 21 notifies the user that the alarm activation time has been reached by sound. Moreover, the vibrator unit 22 notifies the user that the alarm operation time has been reached by vibration. Moreover, the LED unit 23 notifies the user that the alarm activation time has been reached by light. However, other notification methods may be used as the notification unit 20 as long as the user can be notified that the alarm activation time has been reached.

  As described above, the movement state estimation unit 11 estimates the movement state of the own device. The moving state is determined based on the physical movement amount of the portable device 1. The exercise physical quantity is a feature quantity estimated based on a physical quantity that changes due to the movement of the portable device 1. In the following description, the moving state means a state where a train is traveling between stations (hereinafter referred to as a traveling state) and a state where the train is stopped (hereinafter referred to as a stopped state).

  Here, it is preferable that the movement state estimation part 11 estimates a movement state based on the output of the sensor (not shown) which can measure a physical movement quantity, such as an acceleration sensor. However, any sensor can be used as long as it can measure a physical movement quantity.

  For example, consider the case where the movement state estimation unit 11 estimates the movement state based on the output of the acceleration sensor. In that case, the movement state estimation unit 11 can estimate the movement state based on the acceleration. Alternatively, the movement state estimation unit 11 may estimate the movement state based on the speed.

  Here, the acceleration per unit time is the amount of change in speed per unit time. For example, the initial speed is 0 meter per second. The acceleration is 1 meter per second per second. In that case, after 1 second, the speed is 1 meter per second. In this way, the speed can be calculated based on the acceleration. When the speed becomes 0 meter per second, the movement state estimation unit 11 determines that the vehicle has transitioned to the stop state. On the other hand, when the speed increases from the stop state, the movement state estimation unit 11 determines that the state has transitioned to the traveling state.

  Further, the control unit 10 needs to store the scheduled time in the storage unit 40 in advance. In that case, the control part 10 may memorize | store scheduled time as a scheduled time using an operation timetable. Alternatively, the control unit 10 may store the execution time in the storage unit 40 as the scheduled time. Specifically, the timer unit 30 measures the time until the transition from the traveling state to the stopped state as the traveling time. Furthermore, the timer part 30 measures the time until it changes from a stop state to a driving state as a stop time. Then, the control unit 10 causes the storage unit 40 to store the measured travel time and stop time as the scheduled time.

  The schedule information acquisition unit 13 acquires schedule information, which is information related to a schedule change. Here, the schedule information means information such as train delay. The schedule information acquisition unit 13 may use the comparison result between the execution time and the scheduled time as schedule information. Specifically, the schedule information acquisition unit 13 may calculate the remaining time obtained by subtracting the scheduled time from the execution time as the schedule information.

  The schedule time changing unit 14 changes the alarm operation time based on the schedule information. Specifically, when the execution time exceeds the scheduled time by a predetermined time or more, the schedule time changing unit 14 changes the alarm activation time. Here, a time during which the user can tolerate the delay may be set in advance. That is, when the delay is longer than the set time, the schedule time changing unit 14 changes the alarm activation time. And the schedule time change part 14 delays the remaining time and the alarm operation time which deducted scheduled time from execution time. Therefore, when a trouble such as a train delay occurs, the schedule time changing unit 14 can delay the alarm activation time.

  Alternatively, the schedule time changing unit 14 may control the alarm operation time based on the previous execution time. In this case, it is preferable that the schedule time changing unit 14 controls the alarm operation time based on the execution time of the task executed at a predetermined time. Specifically, it is preferable that the schedule time changing unit 14 refers to the execution time measured at the time closest to the current time.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a comparison between an execution time and a scheduled time in traveling on a train. First, the traveling time 201 and the traveling time 211 are t1 and are the same. Furthermore, the stop time 202 and the stop time 212 are t2 and are the same. In this case, until the time t1 + t2, it means that the vehicle has actually traveled at the scheduled time stored in advance.

  Next, the travel time 203 as the scheduled time is t3. However, the actual travel time 213 is t4. Here, t4 is longer than t3. In other words, it actually means that the vehicle has traveled with a delay from the schedule. Therefore, the schedule time changing unit 14 delays the estimated arrival time by subtracting t3 from t4.

  Thereafter, the stop time 204 and the stop time 214 are compared from the same time. Here, the stop time 204 and the stop time 214 are t5 and are the same. Therefore, the stop time 214 represents a scheduled stop time.

  Next, the operation of the portable device 1 will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the portable device 1.

  In step S1, the schedule time setting unit 12 sets an alarm activation time.

  In step S2, the timer unit 30 starts measuring time.

  In step S3, the movement state estimation unit 11 determines whether or not the movement state has been changed. When the movement state is changed (Yes branch in step S3), the timer unit 30 stops time measurement (step S4). If the movement state is not changed (No branch of step S3), the process of step S3 is continued.

  In step S <b> 5, the control unit 10 stores the measurement result of the timer unit 30 in the storage unit 40.

  In step S <b> 6, the schedule time changing unit 14 determines whether or not the measurement result of the timer unit 30 exceeds the scheduled time by a predetermined time or more. When the scheduled time is exceeded (Yes branch in step S6), the schedule time changing unit 14 changes the alarm activation time (step S7). If the scheduled time has not been exceeded (No branch in step S6), the process proceeds to step S8.

  In step S8, the alarm operating unit 15 determines whether or not it is an alarm operating time. If it is an alarm activation time (Yes branch of step S8), an alarm is activated (step S9). If it is not the alarm activation time (No branch in step S8), the process proceeds to step S2 and the process is continued.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation for learning the scheduled time.

  In step S101, the timer unit 30 starts time measurement.

  In step S102, the movement state estimation unit 11 determines whether or not the movement state has been changed. When the movement state is changed (Yes branch in step S102), the timer unit 30 stops time measurement (step S103). If the movement state is not changed (No branch in step S102), the process in step S102 is continued.

  In step S104, the control unit 10 causes the storage unit 40 to store the measurement result of the timer unit 30 as the scheduled time.

  In step S <b> 105, the control unit 10 determines whether or not to finish the scheduled time learning. When the learning of the scheduled time is to be ended (Yes branch in step S105), the process of learning the scheduled time is ended. If the learning of the scheduled time is not finished (No branch in step S105), the process proceeds to step S101 and the process is continued.

[Modification 1]
As Modification 1 of the portable device 1 according to the first embodiment, information such as train operation delay may be acquired from a server. At that time, the server may distribute delay information or the like to the portable device 1 by e-mail or the like. Alternatively, the portable device 1 may access the server and acquire delay information and the like. As information such as train operation delay, the schedule information acquisition unit 13 may acquire information posted on the homepage by the transportation facility. Then, based on the acquired information (delay information), the schedule time changing unit 14 changes the alarm activation time.

[Modification 2]
As a second modification of the portable device 1 according to the first embodiment, delay information relating to subsequent requirements (such as a meeting) may be acquired. For example, the portable device 1 may determine that each task is completed when a predetermined time elapses. Then, every time the task is completed (a predetermined time has elapsed), the schedule information acquisition unit 13 acquires delay information related to a meeting or the like. At this time, the schedule information acquisition unit 13 may acquire information posted on a homepage by a host such as a conference. Alternatively, the schedule information acquisition unit 13 may acquire delay information distributed by the server by e-mail or the like to the portable device 1. Then, based on the acquired delay information, the schedule time changing unit 14 changes the alarm activation time.

  As described above, the portable device 1 according to the present embodiment checks whether or not the schedule is changed every time a predetermined task is completed. If the schedule is changed, the scheduled time for the schedule is changed. Therefore, the portable device 1 according to the present embodiment can change the scheduled time for a predetermined schedule depending on the situation.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  In the present embodiment, the alarm activation time is controlled based on the total time from the departure time. In the description of the present embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment is omitted. Further, in the description of the present embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an internal configuration of the portable device 1a according to the present embodiment. 6, the same components as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The schedule information acquisition unit 13a calculates the total of the measurement results of the timer unit 30a (hereinafter referred to as total measurement time). Furthermore, the control unit 10a causes the storage unit 40a to store the total of scheduled times (hereinafter referred to as total scheduled time) in the moving state (running state, stopped state) at each station. When the total measurement time exceeds the total scheduled time by a predetermined time or more, the schedule time changing unit 14a changes the alarm operation time. Specifically, the schedule time changing unit 14a delays the remaining time and the alarm activation time obtained by subtracting the total measurement time from the total scheduled time.

  Next, the operation of the portable device 1a will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the portable device 1a. However, since the process of step S1-step S5 and the process of step S8-step S9 are as above-mentioned, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In step S201, the schedule time changing unit 14a determines whether or not the total measured time of the timer unit 30 exceeds the current total scheduled time by a predetermined time or more. When the total scheduled time is exceeded (Yes branch of step S201), the process proceeds to step S202. If the total scheduled time has not been exceeded (No branch in step S201), the process proceeds to step S8.

  In step S202, the schedule time changing unit 14a delays the alarm activation time by the remaining time obtained by subtracting the total measurement time from the total scheduled time.

  As described above, the portable device 1a according to the present embodiment determines whether to change the alarm activation time based on the total time from the departure time. Therefore, in the portable device 1a according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary to frequently change the alarm operation time. Therefore, the portable device 1a according to the present embodiment can efficiently change the alarm activation time.
