  The storage unit 15 includes, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), or an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). Further, the storage unit 15 may include an external storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disc Drive) or a flash memory. The storage unit 15 stores various programs to be executed by the CPU included in the schedule management apparatus 10, results of processing executed by the CPU, and the like.

For example, a part or all of the functions of the control unit 16 is realized by a CPU (not shown) included in the schedule management device 10 executing a program stored in the storage unit 15.
The control unit 16 functions as a schedule registration unit 161, a schedule acquisition unit 162, a visited location acquisition unit 163, a map acquisition unit 164, a travel time acquisition unit 165, a generation unit 166, and a display control unit 167.

  When the input unit 12 receives an input of a visit schedule from the user, the schedule registration unit 161 generates schedule data indicating the received visit schedule. The schedule registration unit 161 transmits the generated schedule data to the schedule storage device 20 via the transmission unit 112. The transmitted schedule data is stored in the schedule storage unit 21 (FIG. 1) by the schedule storage device 20 (FIG. 1).

The schedule acquisition unit 162 performs two types of processes, a first process and a second process.
First, the first process will be described.
In the first process, the schedule acquisition unit 162 performs a process of acquiring schedule data from the schedule storage device 20. When the input unit 12 receives a schedule display request from the user, the schedule acquisition unit 162 transmits a schedule data transmission request to the schedule storage device 20 via the transmission unit 112. The schedule acquisition unit 162 acquires schedule data transmitted from the schedule storage device 20 in response to the transmission request. The schedule acquisition unit 162 outputs the acquired schedule data to the display control unit 167.

  Note that the schedule data transmission request transmitted from the schedule management apparatus 10 may include arbitrary information for specifying the schedule data, such as user identification information and scheduled start date and time information. In this case, the schedule storage device 20 extracts the schedule data stored in the schedule storage unit 21 using the information for specifying the schedule data as an extraction condition. And the schedule acquisition part 162 acquires the schedule data extracted in this way.

Next, the second process will be described.
In the second process, the schedule acquisition unit 162 performs a process of specifying a part of the schedule data acquired in the first process (hereinafter referred to as “acquired schedule data”). When the input unit 12 receives designation of a visit schedule from the user, the schedule acquisition unit 162 receives schedule data indicating the designated visit schedule from the acquired schedule data (hereinafter, “scheduled start date / time information of“ specified schedule data ”). The schedule acquisition unit 162 identifies, among the acquired schedule data, a plurality of schedule data whose scheduled start date and time information is close to the date and time indicated by the scheduled start date and time information of the designated schedule data. 162 specifies a plurality of schedule data indicating visit schedules before and after the designated visit schedule, and the schedule acquisition unit 162 outputs the specified schedule data to the visited location acquisition unit 163 and the travel time acquisition unit 165. .

  In the second process, the number of schedule data specified by the schedule acquisition unit 162 may be arbitrary or may not be a fixed number. For example, the schedule acquisition unit 162 may specify schedule data in the acquired schedule data whose date and time indicated by the scheduled start date and time information are immediately before and after the date and time indicated by the scheduled start date and time information of the designated schedule data. . Further, for example, the schedule acquisition unit 162 may specify schedule data in which the date and time indicated by the scheduled start date and time information is the same date as the date and time indicated by the scheduled start date and time information of the designated schedule data, among the acquired schedule data Good. For example, the schedule acquisition unit 162 may acquire schedule data indicating a visit schedule that is continuous with the visit schedule indicated by the designated schedule data.

Here, an example of processing for acquiring schedule data indicating successive visit schedules will be described.
For example, there are 100 acquired schedule data, and each acquired schedule data is D (1), D (2),..., D (100) in the order of the date and time indicated by the scheduled start date and time information. Moreover, let the designated schedule data be D (n) among the schedule data D (1) to D (100). The schedule acquisition unit 162 reads designated schedule data D (n) and schedule data D (n + 1) indicating the next visit schedule. The schedule acquisition unit 162 calculates a time t (n) between the date / time indicated by the scheduled end date / time information of the designated schedule data D (n) and the date / time indicated by the schedule data D (s + 1).

  Next, the schedule acquisition unit 162 determines whether or not the visit schedules indicated by the designated schedule data D (n) and the schedule data D (n + 1) are continuous based on the calculated time t (n). Specifically, when the time t (n) is larger than a predetermined threshold, the schedule acquisition unit 162 determines that the visit schedules indicated by the schedule data D (n) and the schedule data D (n + 1) are continuous. When the time t (n) is smaller than the predetermined threshold, the schedule acquisition unit 162 determines that the visit schedules indicated by the designated schedule data D (n) and the schedule data D (n + 1) are not continuous. Then, the next schedule data D (n + 2) is read, and based on the date and time indicated by the scheduled end date and time information of the schedule data D (n + 1) and the date and time indicated by the schedule data D (n + 2), It is determined whether the visit schedules indicated by the schedule data D (n + 2) are continuous.

  As described above, when it is determined that the visit schedules are not continuous, the schedule data D (n + 2), D (n + 3),..., D (100) are sequentially read, and the schedule data D (n + 2), D (n + 3) are sequentially read. ,..., D (100) is used to determine whether or not the visit schedules are continuous. Also, the schedule acquisition unit 162 reads the schedule data D (n−1), D (n−2),... D (100) in descending order from the designated schedule data D (n), and each schedule data D (n−1) ), D (n−2),... D (100) is subjected to determination processing for determining whether or not the visit schedules are continuous. In this way, the schedule acquisition unit 162 may identify schedule data indicating a visit schedule that is continuous with the visit schedule indicated by the designated schedule data, based on the time interval between the scheduled start date and time and the scheduled end date and time of the visit. .

Next, the visited location acquisition unit 163, the map acquisition unit 134, the travel time acquisition unit 165, the generation unit 166, and the display control unit 167 will be described.
The visited location acquisition unit 163 acquires a plurality of schedule data from the schedule acquisition unit 162. The visited location acquisition unit 163 refers to the visited location identification information of each of the acquired plurality of schedule data, and uses the visited location identification information as a search condition to obtain the visited location data stored in the visited location storage unit 31. Search for. The visited location acquisition unit 163 obtains a plurality of visited location data identified as a result of the search. Hereinafter, the visited location data acquired in accordance with the visited location identification information of the designated schedule data is referred to as “designated visited location data”. The visited location acquisition unit 163 outputs the acquired plurality of visited location data to the map acquisition unit 134 and the travel time acquisition unit 165.

The map acquisition unit 134 acquires a plurality of visit location data from the visit location acquisition unit 163. For example, the map acquisition unit 134 refers to the latitude / longitude information of the acquired plurality of visited location data, and acquires the map data around the point indicated by the latitude / longitude information from the map storage unit 32. The map acquisition unit 134 outputs the acquired map data to the travel time acquisition unit 165.
Note that the map acquisition unit 134 may acquire map data around the point indicated by the address information from the map storage unit 32 instead of the latitude / longitude information of the acquired plurality of visited location data.

  The travel time acquisition unit 165 acquires a plurality of schedule data from the schedule acquisition unit 162. In addition, the travel time acquisition unit 165 acquires a plurality of visited location data from the visited location acquisition unit 163. The travel time acquisition unit 165 acquires map data from the map acquisition unit 134. For example, the travel time acquisition unit 165 identifies the positions of the plurality of visited sites on the map indicated by the map data based on the latitude and longitude information of the plurality of visited location data. In addition, the travel time acquisition unit 165 identifies visit orders of a plurality of visited sites based on the scheduled start date and time information of the schedule data. The travel time acquisition unit 165 calculates a recommended travel route for visiting each visited location based on the position of each of the identified visited locations on the map and the visiting order of the visited locations. In addition, the travel time acquisition unit 165 calculates a scheduled travel time when the travel time is moved between the visited sites based on the calculated recommended travel route. The travel time acquisition unit 165 generates route data indicating the calculated recommended travel route, and calculated travel time data indicating the calculated travel time between each visit destination, and outputs the generated various data to the generation unit 166. . Further, the travel time acquisition unit 165 outputs the schedule data acquired from the schedule acquisition unit 162, the visited location data acquired from the visited location acquisition unit 163, and the map data from the map acquisition unit 134 to the generation unit 166.

Further, the travel time acquisition unit 165 may use the user position information acquired from the position detection unit 14 for calculation of the recommended travel route and calculation of the planned travel time. In this case, for example, the travel time acquisition unit 165 acquires the current date and time, and specifies schedule data corresponding to the acquired current date and time. The schedule data corresponding to the current date / time is, for example, a schedule in which the date / time indicated by the scheduled start date / time information in the acquired schedule data is the latest date / time from the current date / time. That is, the schedule data corresponding to the current date and time is schedule data that is presumed to indicate the next visit schedule from the current date and time. The travel time acquisition unit 165 calculates a recommended travel route from the position indicated by the user position information to the next planned visit destination. In addition, the travel time acquisition unit 165 calculates a scheduled travel time required when traveling according to the recommended travel route. The travel time acquisition unit 165 generates route data indicating the recommended travel route from the calculated current position of the user and planned travel time data indicating the calculated planned travel time from the current position of the user, and generates various data May be output to the generation unit 166.
In addition, you may utilize arbitrary well-known methods for calculation of a recommended movement route, and calculation of estimated movement time.

  The generation unit 166 acquires from the travel time acquisition unit 165 schedule data, visited location data, map data, data indicating a recommended travel route, and data indicating a scheduled travel time between each visited location. The generation unit 166 specifies, for example, the position indicated by the latitude / longitude information of the plurality of visited location data on the map indicated by the map data. The generation unit 166 includes the scheduled start date / time information and the scheduled end date / time information of each of the plurality of schedule data linked to each of the plurality of visited location data at the position on the map specified for each of the plurality of visited location data. Data for displaying an image indicating the above is generated. That is, for example, the generation unit 166 generates display data for an image indicating a scheduled time for visiting the visited site and a planned stay time at the visited site at the location of the visited site on the map. As described above, the schedule management device 10 generates display data indicating an image in which the scheduled visit date and time and the stay time at the visited location are superimposed on the visited location on the map.

  In addition to the scheduled start date / time information and the scheduled end date / time information, the generation unit 166 may indicate other information in the image indicated by the display data. For example, the generation unit 166 may generate display data indicating an image in which a recommended travel route for visiting each visited place is drawn on a map based on route data indicating the recommended travel route. In addition, for example, the generation unit 166 generates display data indicating an image representing the planned travel time when the travel is performed between the visited sites according to the recommended travel route based on the planned travel time data. May be. The generation unit 166 outputs the generated display data to the display control unit 167. Further, the generation unit 166 calculates from the current position based on the route data indicating the recommended movement route from the current position of the user from the movement time acquisition unit 165 and the planned movement time data indicating the planned movement time from the current position of the user. Display data indicating an image representing the recommended travel route and the scheduled travel time may be generated.

  The display control unit 167 displays information included in various data on the display unit 13. For example, the display control unit 167 causes the display unit 13 to display the schedule indicated by the acquired schedule data acquired by the schedule acquisition unit 162 by the first process described above. In addition, the display control unit 167 causes the display unit 13 to display, for example, the image indicated by the display data acquired from the generation unit 166 such that the scale of the map represented by the image is a predetermined scale. At this time, for example, the display control unit 167 performs a centering process for displaying the visit destination related to the visit schedule indicated by the designated schedule data near the center of the display unit 13.

Here, an example of the centering process will be described.
In the centering process, the display control unit 167 specifies a map display region for displaying a map among the display regions of the display unit 13. For example, when the area is rectangular, the map display area is specified by the coordinates of its four corners. Next, the display control unit 167 specifies the position indicated by the latitude / longitude information of the designated visit destination position data in the image indicated by the display data. Next, the display control unit 167 specifies a region that is centered on the position specified in the image indicated by the display data and that corresponds to the map display region in the display unit 13 in the image indicated by the display data. . Next, the display control unit 167 causes the display unit 13 to display the specified region in the image indicated by the display data. As a result, the visited site related to the visit schedule designated by the user is displayed in the center of the map display area of the display unit 13.
