Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a process management table creation system for creating a process management table by pasting a memory for storing process node information on a board surface. [Related Art] For example, when a process management table is created, usually, a process plan is created using about A1 sheets. However, the range that can be calculated manually is about 500 activities, and if it is larger than that, a computer will be used. Also in this case, first, a draft is created once on A1 paper, and data is input from an input sheet or an input screen. Various OA devices have been developed with the progress of office automation, and their use and management have been streamlined. Some of these are referred to as electronic conferencing systems, for example, using a whiteboard to convert the contents entered during the meeting into electrical signals, or using a camera to convert the contents of the meeting into video signals. And, by transmitting through a communication line, it is possible to conduct a conference simultaneously between distant points,
The contents of the meeting can be transmitted instantly. In such a system using a whiteboard, the whiteboard has a coordinate detection function, and when the contents of the meeting are written on the whiteboard with a designated writing instrument such as a pen,
The entry is detected as coordinate data and converted into an electric signal. Such a system can also be used when creating the process management table. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the electronic conference system as described above, since only the contents of the entered conference and the situation are converted into electric signals, all necessary information to be transmitted is all. Each time, input such as filling out on a whiteboard is required. Also, if you move the contents to another position on the whiteboard or copy and modify or change it,
The matter must be erased or added more than once rather than once. In addition, even if a predetermined item is predetermined, it is not input as data unless it is entered each time. Therefore, whether you use a whiteboard to create a process control table or enter and process the contents of a meeting as data, it is necessary to fill out all of them on the whiteboard. Since necessary information such as entry is input, work and meeting efficiency may be reduced. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a process management table creation system that can easily create a process management table using a board and a memory chip. [Means for Solving the Problems] For that purpose, the process management table creation system of the present invention uses a surface having a predetermined size as an entry display surface and stores node information of the process, and stores the node information in the memory. Read / write means for setting and holding link information between read / write nodes and a plurality of read heads capable of reading node information from the memory in a non-contact manner are embedded and arranged in a matrix at predetermined intervals vertically and horizontally and covered with a film. A board whose front surface is used as a sticking surface and an entry display surface of a memory, and reading the node information of the memory stuck on the surface of the board from the plurality of reading heads in accordance with the reading positions of the heads Means and the node information read by the reading means and the link information between the nodes held by the reading and writing means. A data processing means for creating a process management table based on the data, and an output means for outputting the process management table created by the data processing means. The memory is attached to the surface of the board, and the surface of the memory and the board A process control table is entered and displayed on the board using the front surface as an entry display surface, and a process control table entered and displayed on the board by the data processing means is created based on the node information and link information between nodes. It is characterized by doing. [Operation] In the process management table creation system of the present invention, since the process management table is created while attaching the memory chip to the board surface as a node of each process, change and correction can be easily performed, and the result can be passed through a plurality of heads. Since the data is read out by the reading means, the process management table created on the board surface can be automatically input to the data processing means. Furthermore, since the process management table is generated based on the node information read from the memory by the data processing means, even if a modified process management table is created by making changes and corrections on the board, the process management table is arranged by the output means. Can be obtained. Embodiment An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing one embodiment of a process management table creation system according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of link information between nodes in each process. When creating a process management table (network), the range that can be calculated manually is about 500 activities, and if it exceeds that, a computer will be used. Conventionally, when creating a process control table using a computer,
First, a draft is once drawn on a sheet and data is input from an input sheet or an input screen. Therefore, there is a problem that changes and corrections cannot be made easily and freely. In that regard, the use of the electronic blackboard system according to the present invention makes it possible to easily input the process management table. The details will be described below with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, 1 is an electronic blackboard, 2 is a data processing device, 3 is a reader / writer, 4 is a memory, and 5 is a link information line. The configuration of the process management table creation system according to the present invention includes an electronic whiteboard 1 in which a number of memory read / write heads are embedded on a board surface, data for controlling processing of reading and writing of stored data from / to a memory on the board surface through the heads. The processing unit 2 further includes a handy, for example, pencil type reader / writer 3 capable of individually reading and writing stored data in each memory.
In this example, the data processing device 2 is integrally incorporated in the lower right part of the electronic blackboard 1, and keys and a display for inputting data and the like are arranged on the front of the data processing device 2. The reader / writer 3 includes a key for inputting stored data, a display for confirming the input content and the read content of the stored data, a memory for temporarily storing read data, and the like. The memory 4 attached to the board surface is used as a node for process management, and stores node information such as a node ID, the number of process days, and link information between nodes. Next, a procedure for creating a process management table by the above system will be described. In the process of creating the process management table, first, a network is created on the electronic blackboard 1, and then, when the memory 4 is pasted on the nodes a to g, a process management table in which nodes are linked as shown in the figure is created. When the process management table is completed on the electronic whiteboard 1 in this way, the node information is written into the memory 4 corresponding to each of the nodes a to g using the reader / writer 3. Although the link information line 5 is written on the electronic whiteboard 1, it is not read by the data processing device 2, so that each node ID and link information are read by the reader / writer 3. In addition, electronic blackboard 1
The node information of each memory and the position information on the board are read into the data processing device 2 from the head. Then, the read information of the data processing device 2 and the read information of the reader / writer 3 are transferred to the general-purpose computer. Here, the general-purpose computer has, for example, a process management table drawing program for drawing a process management table from the node information of each memory, and of course, is capable of drawing and printing out the process management table. It is. FIG. 2 shows an example of link information between the nodes. In FIG. 2, (a) represents the N type, and the node A
Is that the node B can start (end → start) after xx days have passed since the end of the process. (B) represents the S type, which is information indicating that the node B can be started (△△ → start) after △△ days have passed after the start of the node A. (C) is F
This is information indicating that the node B can be terminated after ○ days have passed since the termination of the node A (end → end).
(D) represents the E type, which is information indicating that the node B can be terminated (start → end) after □□ days have passed since the start of the node A. The link information between the nodes is read into the reader / writer 3. For example, when reading the link information between the nodes a and b into the reader / writer 3, first, the nodes a and b are read using the reader / writer 3.
The ID and the data of the connection type and the number of days are set in the reader / writer 3 and held as link information. In this way, the link information can be set by a simple operation of reading and holding the node ID from the memory of both nodes and setting the relation information between the nodes without being aware of each node each time. It can be carried out. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of processing by the process management table drawing program. The process management table is drawn by the process management table drawing program as described above, and the contents of the processing are performed, for example, in the following procedure. The link information is searched for a head node, that is, a node without link information at the head. Next, the last node, that is, a node without link information at the end is searched. Search for the node containing the link information after the first node. The above processing is sequentially repeated to calculate the number of days until the last node. The layout is performed by adjusting the layout of the drawing position based on the Y coordinate, the start date, and the holiday, and the drawing is performed. For example, in FIG. 3A, the node A starts five days after the head ends and ends two days, and the node B starts eight days after the head starts and starts three days. To end. The number of leading days is 10 days. Therefore, in this example, if the horizontal axis (X) is the number of days and the vertical axis (Y) is the construction section, the Y coordinate is determined by associating each node with the construction section, and the construction section and the number of days are calculated from the first node. When drawing according to the figure, the same figure (b)
The process management table shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of an electronic blackboard system used in the process management table creation system according to the present invention.
The figure shows another usage example of the electronic blackboard, and FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the flow of processing of the electronic blackboard system. In FIG. 4, 11 is a whiteboard, 12 is a head,
13 is a memory, 14 is a head control unit, 15 is a data processing unit, 16
Indicates a storage unit. The whiteboard 11 has a large number of heads 12 arranged vertically and horizontally.
The storage data can be read and written at any time.
The head control unit 14 controls an interface between the head 12 and the data processing unit 15, and includes, for example, a head
12 processes stored data to be read and written in parallel,
The data is serialized and transferred to the data processing unit 15, or the stored data is read and written while sequentially scanning the head 12. The data processing unit 15 has a keyboard or the like for inputting storage data to be written, a control command or the like as an input unit, and a display or a printer or the like for outputting input data, readout data, processing data or the like as an output unit. It processes stored data to be read and written. The storage unit 16 is used as a file for storing storage data to be written, read data, and a file for storing processed data thereof. Therefore, each head 12 has an address and a data processing unit.
At 15, the stored data is managed for each address, so that the stored data is associated with the position on the whiteboard 11. Note that the storage unit 16 may store an input menu from the input unit, and display a menu for instructing the input procedure and format in the input mode. In this way, a system that can be easily operated by an operator who is not familiar with the system can be provided. In such an electronic blackboard system, the memory 13
It is attached to the surface of the whiteboard 11, and is a small memory shaped like a plastic chip, for example. Then, it may be configured such that colors and simple characters can be written on the surface and information can be displayed. Also, the surface of the whiteboard 11 is entirely covered with a film to protect the head, and can be written or erased with a writing instrument such as a pen, so that it can be used as a conventionally used blackboard or as a display board In addition to the function described above, the memory 13 can be provided with display information that is not limited to stored information. That is, the display on the whiteboard 11 and the display on the output means (display) in the data processing unit 15 can be used together. FIG. 5 shows an example of use of the electronic blackboard system. In the example shown in FIG. 5, an electronic blackboard is used as a work status display board. As in the case of a normal display board, "work name", "place", "worker arrangement", and further detailed information on each are shown. The category is displayed on the board. Then, a specific area among them is secured as a pasting area of the memory. Therefore, the data processing unit recognizes these display sections and the pasting area of the memory in association with the address area of the head. Therefore, fill in the side wall C as the work name as shown in the figure,
After that, when the memory storing the work name of the side wall C is pasted, the data processing unit reads the stored data “side wall C” in the area of the work name from the address of the head that read the storage information of the memory. It is recognized as information.
That is, the side wall C is entered as a display on the display board,
By pasting a memory storing the information corresponding to the information, the information is input to the data processing unit. Also, in the worker arrangement area behind the side wall C hit, a personal memory in which the attending worker stores a company name and personal information of the worker in a column corresponding to his / her work or work place is pasted. . In the data processing unit, for the information stored in this memory, the area corresponding to the side wall C of the area of the work name and the position corresponding to the side wall A4 of the area of the work area, based on the address of the read head, Can be recognized. In the data processing section, as described above, in particular, “work name”
Instead of recognizing the areas of “location” and “placement of workers”, those areas may be recognized from the information stored in the respective memories. For example, the memory of the work name, the memory of the place, or the memory of the worker may be identified from the storage information of each memory, and the relationship between the work name, the place, and the worker may be recognized from those positions. Thus, the work status display board shown in FIG.
The work name and the arrangement of workers for each location can be recognized from the read information of each head, and by processing this, total data and statistical data can be output. In addition, the worker can easily input his / her own data simply by pasting a memory dedicated to himself / herself in a predetermined area. Where and who is doing what on the site can be displayed on the whiteboard, and can also be displayed and printed out on the data processing unit, so that the current status of work on the site can be grasped at a glance. At the same time, the data can be easily transferred to a computer that performs a tallying process and a payment process, thereby saving the trouble of inputting a handwritten daily report form from a keyboard. For example, in the case of construction work, the work place and the work contents of each worker change every day, and the work place and the work contents do not become individual data. That is, for example, it is not possible to register a work place and work contents as fixed data in a medium such as a magnetic card together with an individual's name, address, company name, and the like. However, the work place and the work contents are important data in the processing of the daily report. Therefore, a mechanism that can freely change such data from day to day is needed. According to the present invention, since the data of the work place and the work content can be easily input simultaneously with the data unique to the individual simply by replacing the memory, such a demand can be sufficiently satisfied. Further, since the board can write characters and drawings in the same manner as a conventional whiteboard, the data input status can be easily displayed. FIG. 6 shows the overall processing flow of the electronic blackboard system as described above. As shown in FIG. 6, first, in the case of the system shown in FIG. 5, data of a work name, a place, and a worker are input to a chip-shaped memory. Then, it is pasted on a predetermined area on the whiteboard. On the other hand, the sensor head embedded in the whiteboard detects whether or not there is a memory at a fixed scan cycle (every fixed time), and if there is a memory, reads the stored data and reads the stored data. To the data processing unit. The data processing section accumulates the storage data read in this manner in the storage section together with the address of each head, the read time, and the like. The stored data may be transferred to a post-processing computer in a lump and processed by the computer. If the worker moves in and out of the memory on the whiteboard, the time when the change is made, that is, the pasted time and the removed time are recorded as historical data in the memory in the worker arrangement area. By filing the data in accordance with the stored data in the data processing unit, it is possible to automatically manage the leaving / working of the workers and the work time. Thus, the electronic blackboard system of the present invention is a display board in the case of information that needs to be posted, and in the case where it is necessary to perform processing such as totalization and classification of the information after posting, for example, a display board for attendance and entrance and exit, By using it for business performance graphs, display boards for the use status of machines and facilities, etc., it is possible to simultaneously input information to a computer that performs posting and tallying. Moreover, it can be used in the same way as a conventional whiteboard, and can input necessary data to a computer without using a keyboard.Thus, it can be used easily even by people who do not have computer knowledge and can input data. Can be. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example in which the electronic blackboard according to the present invention is used in a daily report data input processing system. In the figure, 21 is a work item board, 22 is a scanner, 23 is an adapter, 24 is a general-purpose personal computer, and 25 is a memory. In FIG. 7, a work item board 21 is an electronic blackboard of the present invention in which a head is embedded on the board surface, and columns for a trader name, a job type, and a work item are provided, and a memory 25 is attached to each column. And read by the scanner 22. As a usage method, for example, work in the morning or the day is input to the scanner 22 from the work item board, and the scanner 22 is entrusted to the foreman. During the work, each time the scheduled work is completed, the foreman inputs the actual number of results and transfers the data from the scanner 22 to the general-purpose personal computer 24 using the adapter 23 in the evening. Also, using the reader / writer as described above, each time the scheduled work is completed, the foreman inputs the actual number of results into the memory pasted in the work item column, and in the evening, inputs it into the scanner 22 and the adapter. The data may be transferred to the general-purpose personal computer 24 using the computer 23. In these cases, the head is not effectively used as an electronic blackboard as in the above example, but if this head is used, the work content and the artificial number are read from the head of the work item board into the data processing unit and transferred. Data can be transferred to the general-purpose personal computer 24 through the line. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above embodiment, the data stored in the memory is read and written using the head embedded in the whiteboard, but writing to the memory is performed using a write-only device, and the head on the board is used only for reading. You may. The present invention can be widely used not only in the construction site as described above, but also in factories and business offices. For example, a conventional system for inputting handwritten slips such as delivery slips and sales slips with a keyboard, a system for inputting codes of work names, parts names, product names, etc. with a keyboard, and a single computer processes a plurality of systems. Of course, it can be applied to such a case. [Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, a process management table is created by a memory storing node information on a board, read out and processed, and a process management table is output. With such a configuration, the network can be freely planned on the board, and the input can be made using the figure as it is. In addition, since it can be executed on the board even when the network is changed, the visual sense can be utilized and the computer can be used without being conscious of the computer. Further, since the memory on the board itself functions as a node and the link is entered using a writing instrument, the link can be used as it is as a work procedure process management table.
