Description

  The present invention relates to an information terminal, and more particularly to an information terminal that notifies registered schedule information.

  A user who carries an information terminal has the convenience of not having to carry a separate paper schedule book by registering the schedule in the storage unit of the terminal.

  With respect to such an electronic scheduler, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-151168) discloses that a schedule that requires some preparation in advance does not notify the schedule only on the day of the requirement. Disclosed is an electronic scheduler intended to notify in advance a predetermined number of days according to the contents.

  Specifically, the electronic scheduler of Patent Document 1 stores the number of preparation days corresponding to the keyword together with a keyword such as “birthday”. When entering schedule data, if the content of the schedule is related to a keyword, the advance notification date is calculated from the date of the schedule and the number of preparation days corresponding to the keyword, and the input schedule is stored together with the advance notification date. The When displaying the schedule, the electronic scheduler displays both the date of the stored schedule and the advance notification date, and displays the schedule that matches the date on the search day and the schedule that matches the advance notification date on the search day. To do.

  The alarm execution unit 74 outputs the alarm according to the content 64 (time to be notified or the number of times to be notified) registered in the alarm storage unit 42 as described later (the display unit 3, the vibration unit 5, and the audio output unit 6). ) To control. As an alarm output mode, for example, a message according to the content 64 is displayed on the display unit 3, or the vibration unit 5 is vibrated in a predetermined pattern, or a predetermined voice (ring sound) is output to the voice output unit 6. , A melody, a message voice representing the content 64, etc.).

<Registration information>
With reference to FIG. 3, the schedule table 411 and the alarm registration table 421 according to the first embodiment will be described. The schedule table 411 is stored in the schedule storage unit 41, and the alarm registration table 421 is stored in the alarm storage unit 42. In the schedule table 411, one or more records for storing schedule information are registered. Each record includes an ID (identification) 51 for identifying the record (that is, schedule information), date data 52, time data 53, contents 54, and a registration date 55.

  The content 54 is information regarding an individual in the schedule information, and includes, for example, a schedule such as a user's action and an event. The date data 52 and the time data 53 indicate time information for which the schedule of the content 54 of the record is to be executed. Here, both the date data 52 and the time data 53 are registered as the time information, but at least the date data 52 may be registered. The registration date 55 indicates a date when the record (that is, schedule information) is registered in the schedule table 411 by the registration unit 71. Here, the registration date 55 includes only the date, but may include time.

  In the alarm registration table 421, one or more records are registered when performing processing according to the flowchart of FIG. 4 described later. The record stores alarm information for notifying the user of schedule information registered in the schedule table 411 in advance. Each record includes an ID 61 for identifying the record (that is, alarm information), date data 62 and time data 63 indicating the date and time when the alarm is output, and contents 64 to be notified.

  The schedule determination unit 73 associates each record in the schedule table 411 with one or more records in the alarm registration table 421 when performing processing according to the flowchart of FIG. Specifically, the schedule determination unit 73 determines the schedule information based on whether the date indicated by the time information (date data 52) in the schedule table 411 is a regular date or an irregular date. (Particularly, the content 54) is linked so that the number of notifications in advance is different.

  That is, at the time of carrying out the processing according to the flowchart of FIG. 4 described later, the schedule determination unit 73 analyzes the date data 52 of the record for each record of the schedule table 411, and the date indicated by the date data 52 is based on the analysis result. When it is determined that a predetermined condition is satisfied, a record associated with the record is generated in order to notify the schedule information before a predetermined period from the day, and the generated record is alarmed. Register in the registration table 421. The predetermined condition includes a condition that the days indicated by the date data 52 indicate a plurality of consecutive days.

  In addition, the predetermined condition described above is that the date indicated by the date data 52 is more than a predetermined number of days than the date when the schedule information is acquired (that is, the date of the registration date 55). Including the condition of indicating the previous day. This predetermined number of days indicates, for example, one month or more.

  Further, the predetermined condition described above further includes a periodic condition that the day indicated by the date data 52 indicates a regular day. For example, when the date data 52 is character information, when characters representing a regular day such as “every week”, “every Saturday”, “every 10 days”, etc. are extracted from the analysis result, Judged to be day. Then, the schedule determination unit 73 generates a record associated with the record, and registers the generated record in the alarm registration table 421.

  In addition, when it is determined that the day indicated by the date data 52 of the acquired schedule information satisfies a predetermined condition including the above-described regular condition, the number of times the schedule information is notified in advance is The number of notifications is set to be smaller when it is determined that the regular condition is not satisfied. Specifically, when it is determined that the date indicated by the date data 52 of the acquired schedule information satisfies the regular condition, the number of records registered in the alarm registration table 421 (that is, the schedule information is set in advance). The number of notifications) is set to one, and the number of records registered in the alarm registration table 421 when it is determined that the regular condition is not satisfied (that is, the number of times the schedule information is notified in advance) is set to two or more.

  When the processing flowchart of FIG. 4 is performed, records are registered in the alarm registration table 421 for the schedule table 411 of FIG. 3 as follows. First, for a record whose ID data 51 is “1”, one record (a record whose ID data 61 is “1”) is generated based on the fact that “weekly” is extracted from the above analysis result, and an alarm is generated. Registered in the registration table 421. The schedule determination unit 73 registers the date and time based on the date data 52 and the time data 53 of the corresponding record of the schedule 411 in the date data 62 and the time data 63 of the record, and the content 54 of the corresponding record in the content 64. Register data based on.

  Next, for the record whose ID data 51 of the schedule 411 is “2”, the character representing the periodic time is not extracted from the above analysis result, but the schedule determination unit 73 sets the date corresponding to the registration date 55. It is determined that the date / time indicates one month or more ahead of the registration date. The schedule determination unit 73 generates two records whose ID data 61 is “2” and “3” and registers them in the alarm registration table 421. The schedule determination unit 73 registers the date and time based on the date data 52 and the time data 53 of the corresponding record of the schedule table 411 in the date data 62 and the time data 63 of the record whose ID data 61 is “2” among the generated records. However, the date data 62 and time data 63 of the record whose ID data 61 is “3” indicate the date and time seven days before the date and time of the date data 52 and time data 53 of the corresponding record in the schedule 411. Register the data. In any record, data based on the content 54 of the corresponding record in the schedule 411 is registered in the content 64. The record whose ID data 61 is “3” corresponds to alarm information of prior notification (notification 7 days ago).

  For a record whose ID data 51 in the schedule 411 is “3”, the character representing the regular time is not extracted from the above analysis result, and the date and time is calculated from the date of registration based on the date of the corresponding registration date 55. It is determined that it is within one month. Therefore, the schedule determination unit 73 generates one record whose ID data 61 is “4” and registers it in the alarm registration table 421. The schedule determination unit 73 registers the date and time in the date data 62 and the time data 63 of the generated record based on the date data 52 and the time data 53 of the corresponding record in the schedule table 411, and the content of the corresponding record in the content 64. Data based on 54 is registered.

  For a record whose ID data 51 in the schedule 411 is “4”, the character representing the periodic time is not extracted from the above analysis result, and the date / time is determined from the date of registration based on the date of the corresponding registration date 55. Although it is determined that it is within one month, the date of the date data 52 is determined to indicate a plurality of consecutive days. Therefore, the schedule determination unit 73 generates two records whose ID data 61 is “5” and “6” and registers them in the alarm registration table 421. The schedule determination unit 73 registers the date and time based on the date data 52 and the time data 53 of the corresponding record of the schedule 411 in the date data 62 and the time data 63 of the record whose ID data 61 is “5” among the generated records. However, the date data 62 and the time data 63 of the record whose ID data 61 is “6” indicate the date and time seven days before the date and time of the date data 52 and the time data 53 of the corresponding record in the schedule 411. Register the data. In any record, data based on the content 54 of the corresponding record in the schedule 411 is registered in the content 64. The record whose ID data 61 is “6” corresponds to alarm information of prior notification (notification 7 days ago).

  As described above, when the schedule determination unit 73 determines that the day indicated by the time information of the acquired schedule information satisfies the predetermined condition, the schedule information before the predetermined period before the day. Is configured to be notified. Therefore, the number of times the user is notified of the schedule in advance can be varied depending on whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. Further, as described above, when the time information of the schedule information indicates a regular time, the record of the seven days ago notification is not registered in the alarm registration table 421, but when the non-periodic time is indicated, A record of 7 days ago notification is registered in the alarm registration table 421. Therefore, the number of prior notifications can be changed depending on whether the time information of the schedule information indicates a regular or non-periodic time.

  Note that the period of the criterion for prior notification made by the schedule determination unit 73 seven days ago is “one month or more from the registration date”, but is not limited to this, and the number of days going back is “7 days ago” However, the present invention is not limited to this. Further, the length of the period of the determination criterion and the number of days going back may be variable. For example, a different number of days may be set for the number of days going back based on whether or not the time information of the schedule information indicates a plurality of consecutive days or indicates one month or more ahead. Moreover, the period of the above-mentioned criterion or the number of days going back may be set as a default value by a user operation, or may be changed by a user operation for each schedule information.

  Referring to the alarm registration table 421 in FIG. 3, among the registered alarm information, the alarm information indicating that the time data 53 of the corresponding schedule information indicates “all day” and the alarm information indicating a plurality of dates in which the date data 52 is continuous. As for alarm information for prior notification made seven days ago, “7 o'clock” is set in the time data 63, but it is not limited to this, and it may be another time, or by user operation. You may register or change.

<Processing flow>
With reference to FIG. 4, processing for setting alarm information in the alarm registration table 421 will be described. A program according to the flowchart of FIG. 4 is stored in the storage unit 4 in advance. The CPU of the control unit 7 reads the program from the storage unit 4 and executes the read program to realize the setting process.

  Referring to FIG. 4, first, schedule information is registered in schedule table 411 of schedule storage unit 41 by registration unit 71 (step S1). The plan acquisition unit 72 reads the registered schedule information from the plan storage unit 41 and outputs the read schedule information to the plan determination unit 73. When the schedule determination unit 73 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied as described above for the schedule information, the schedule determination unit 73 generates and generates a record of alarm information for prior notification (notification seven days ago). Records are registered in the alarm registration table 421.

  Specifically, based on the time information (date data 52 or time data 53) of the schedule information from the schedule acquisition unit 72, the schedule determination unit 73 is one month or more ahead of the date and time indicated by the registration date 55. It is determined whether or not to show (step S2). The registration date 55 corresponds to the date and time stored in the schedule storage unit 41 from the registration unit 71.

  If it is determined that it indicates one month or more ahead (YES in step S2), it is determined whether or not it is a regular day or hour by analyzing the time information (step S4). If it is determined to be periodic (YES in step S4), the process proceeds to step S6 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not periodic (NO in step S4), the schedule determination unit 73 generates and generates a record of alarm information of prior notification (notification 7 days ago) associated with the schedule information. The recorded record is registered in the alarm registration table 421 (step S5). Then, it progresses to step S6 mentioned later.

  Return to step S2. If it is determined that the time information of the acquired schedule information does not indicate more than one month from the registration date 55 (within less than one month from the registration date) (NO in step S2), the schedule determination unit 73 sets the time information. Is analyzed to determine whether or not a plurality of consecutive dates are indicated (step S3). If it is determined that a plurality of consecutive dates are indicated (YES in step S3), the process proceeds to step S4 described above, and the processes in steps S4 and S5 are performed.

  If it is determined not to indicate a plurality of consecutive dates (NO in step S3), the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, the schedule determination unit 73 generates a record of alarm information for the current day notification associated with the schedule information, and registers the generated record in the alarm registration table 421 (step S6). In this day notification record, the date data 62 and the time data 63 indicate the date data 52 and the time data 53 of the corresponding schedule information. This completes the alarm setting process.

  According to FIG. 4, for example, when schedule information whose ID data 51 is “1” is registered in the schedule table 411 (NO in step S2 and NO in step S3), the schedule determination unit 73 uses the alarm registration table. In 421, the alarm information of the same day notification whose ID data 61 is “1” is registered (step S6).

  For example, when schedule information whose ID data 51 of the schedule 411 is “2” is registered (YES in step S2, NO in step S4), the schedule determination unit 73 sets the ID data 61 to “3” (7 The alarm information of the previous notification) is registered in the alarm registration table 421 (step S5), and the alarm information of the same day notification whose ID data 61 is “2” is registered.

  For example, when schedule information whose ID data 51 is “3” is registered in the schedule table 411 (NO in step S2 and NO in step S3), the schedule determination unit 73 stores the ID data 61 in the alarm registration table 421. The alarm information for the same day notification that is “4” is registered (step S6).

  For example, when schedule information whose ID data 51 is “4” is registered in the schedule table 411 (NO in step S2, YES in step S3, NO in step S4), the schedule determination unit 73 sets the alarm registration table 421. The alarm information whose ID data 61 is “6” (preliminary notification 7 days ago) is registered (step S5), and the alarm information of the same day notification whose ID data 61 is “5” is registered (step S6).

  Thus, when the time information (date data 52) of the schedule information is a regular day, alarm information for prior notification is not registered in the alarm registration table 421. Therefore, when the time information of the schedule information is a regular day, the number of prior notifications can be less than the number of prior notifications when the schedule information is an irregular period.

  In the alarm information setting process described above, the prior notification is made once “7 days ago”. However, the notification is not limited to this, and may be, for example, two or more times, such as 10 days ago, 7 days ago, 3 days ago. In addition, when it is two or more times, it is desirable that the interval from one notification to the next notification is variable, and it is desirable that the interval be shorter as it is closer to the scheduled day.

  According to the present embodiment, when schedule information ahead of a certain degree such as one month or more ahead is registered, it is assumed that the user is likely to have forgotten the registered schedule information, or continuously. If the schedule information covers a plurality of days, it is assumed that the schedule takes time for preparation. When at least one of such cases is assumed, alarm information for prior notification is registered in the alarm registration table 421. On the other hand, since the schedule information of a regular schedule such as weekly is unlikely to be forgotten by the user, the alarm information is stored in the alarm registration table 421 so that the advance notification is not performed and only the current day notification is performed. be registered.

  In the embodiment, when the time information of the schedule information indicates one month or more ahead (YES in step S2) or indicates a plurality of consecutive dates (YES in step S3), a prior notice 7 days in advance The alarm information can be registered (step S5), but the criterion is not limited to this. For example, when the time information of the schedule information indicates a plurality of consecutive dates that are one month or more ahead, the alarm information of the prior notification 7 days ago may be registered.

<Modification>
In the present embodiment, the schedule acquisition unit 72 acquires schedule information from the schedule storage unit 41, but the acquisition route is not limited to this. For example, when receiving the operation content (that is, schedule information) from the operation unit 2, the operation reception unit outputs the received operation content to the schedule acquisition unit 72. Alternatively, when receiving the schedule information via the antenna 9 and the communication control unit 8, the control unit 7 outputs the received schedule information to the schedule acquisition unit 72. Alternatively, when the control unit 7 reads schedule information from the attached storage medium 11, the control unit 7 outputs the read schedule information to the schedule acquisition unit 72.

  Further, when the contents 54 of the registered schedule information include “location” data, alarm information for prior notification may be registered in the alarm registration table 421 based on the “location” data. Specifically, when the schedule information is registered in the schedule table 411, the schedule determination unit 73 analyzes the contents 54 of the registered schedule information and, based on the analysis result, “location” data (building name, geographic name, (Station name, company name, etc.). Then, the extracted “location” data and the “location” data extracted by analyzing the schedule information registered in the past in the schedule 411 are collated. When the schedule determination unit 73 determines that the data indicates “location” not included in the schedule information registered in the past based on the collation result, the schedule determination unit 73 uses the schedule information scheduled within one month from the registration. Even if it exists, the alarm information of the prior notification may be registered in the alarm registration table 421. Therefore, when the “location” data of the acquired schedule information does not correspond to any of the locations indicated by the “location” data of the past schedule information, it is determined in advance from the date indicated by the date data 52 of the schedule information. The schedule information can be notified to the user before the given period (for example, seven days ago). Thereby, when it is determined from the history information of the registered schedule that the schedule information of a place that has not been performed has been registered, prior notification can be performed.

It can also be temporarily recorded and provided to the information terminal 1 as a program product. Alternatively, the program can be provided by being received by the communication control unit 8 via a network and downloaded to a predetermined storage area of the storage unit 4. The provided program product includes the program itself and a recording medium on which the program is recorded non-temporarily.
