Description

  The present invention relates to an event management device, an event management system, and an event management program, and more particularly to an event management device, an event management system, and an event management program that create a schedule for events such as parties and manage the execution of the events. .

  Events include parties such as weddings and wedding secondary parties, concerts, and the like, and events include meetings. Here, we will talk about a party as an example of an event.

  Conventionally, there are various parties such as a wedding party. In order to hold a party, the role of the secretary is very important, and the secretary needs to do various things.

  Here, taking a secondary wedding party as an example, the general arrangement will be explained. First, the secretary needs to ask the bride and groom what kind of image the party will have, what the desired budget is, and what the approximate number of people will do. Next, decide who will do what by when.

  Next, the secretary must decide the party venue. At that time, it is important to go to the party venue and preview. This is because you can actually see and check the atmosphere and service of the store. In this way, the selection of the party venue is considered to be greatly related to the production and planning of the party.

  Once the venue has been decided, send invitations to attendees, and calculate attendance and budget.

  Next, it is necessary to think about directing, entertainment and games at parties. At this time, it is easy to decide on the time axis. In addition, for example, production, entertainment, and games include opening production, ending production, BGM production, attendee greetings, attendee singing, slide show of bride and groom album, psychological test, quiz game, bingo game, etc. (Hereafter, production, entertainment, games, etc. are called event contents). Depending on the contents of this event, it will be related to whether the party will be memorable. Therefore, the event content is very important for the party. The general flow is video production, speech, meal and chat time, free time, game, and closing.

  Once the event content has been decided, it is necessary to prepare props and miscellaneous goods, game prizes and gifts to be used for them.

  Then, make a final meeting for the final party and make a final confirmation.

  On the day of the party, first of all, we will have a meeting, confirm the settings of the venue props, check the schedule, etc. Next, prepare yourself, such as a moderator, a person who performs, and a receptionist.

  Next, start reception. The reception is done by 2 to 4 people and collects names, etc. (attendance check) and membership fee. At that time, take photos of attendees with a camera and leave them at the venue.

  When it is time, the production starts, and the moderator progresses according to the schedule. Depending on the progress of the presenter, various event contents will be executed according to the schedule. Then, when it is time for opening, it will be opened with the words of opening by the presenter, and the withdrawal work and the equipment will be returned.

  The above is the setup of the conventional general wedding secondary party.

  In order to excite the party at the second party of the wedding as described above, it is necessary that all attendees can participate in the event. As a system for this purpose, a second terminal with operation buttons is handed over to all attendees, questions and quizzes are given, and the operation buttons on the second terminal are operated by all attendees, and the questionnaires and quizzes are answered. In addition, there is a system in which the result is displayed on a display device through a first terminal for aggregation (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The meeting screen includes a menu display area 91, an item area 92, a time schedule display area 93a, a first time schedule display area 93, a second time schedule display area 94, a graph display area 95, an image display area 96, a tab area 97, A save button 98, a midway end button 99, and an estimate issuance button 100 are displayed.

  In the tab area 97, items to be displayed in the menu display area 91 are displayed. The display items include, for example, “item”, “application 1” corresponding to the video item, “application 2” corresponding to BGM, “application 3” corresponding to entertainment and games, and “acceptance” and “greeting”. “Event 1” and “option” corresponding to others are displayed. One of these items is selected and clicked with the mouse (step S3).

  In the menu display area 91, icons 101 to 108 corresponding to the menu of the item selected in the tab area 97 are displayed. For example, when “Item” in the tab area 97 is selected by clicking with the mouse, a plurality of icons corresponding to various foods and rental items used in the event are displayed in the menu display area 91. Examples of rental items include costumes such as dresses and tiaras, and rental game machines such as bingo game machines and dart game machines. When “application 1” in the tab area 97 is selected by clicking with the mouse, a plurality of icons describing titles of various videos displayed on the screen 35 at the party venue 30 are displayed in the menu display area 91. When “App 2” in the tab area 97 is selected by clicking with the mouse, a plurality of icons in which various BGM titles to be played from the speaker 21 at the party venue are displayed in the menu display area 91. When “App 3” in the tab area 97 is selected by clicking with the mouse, a plurality of icons describing the titles of applications corresponding to the event contents are displayed in the menu display area 91.

  In addition, when “Action” in the tab area 97 is selected by clicking with the mouse, an icon labeled “reception”, an icon labeled “greeting”, or the like is displayed in the menu display area 91. The event contents corresponding to the icons in “application 1” to “application 3” are event contents accompanying execution of the application computer 13, such as video display, audio output, and game. On the other hand, the event contents corresponding to the icons in the “action” are event contents that do not involve the execution of the application computer 13 such as “reception” and “greeting”.

  The item area 92 is an area for selecting an expensive item such as food and drink in the “item”. For example, “item” is selected with the mouse in the tab area 97, and a plurality of icons corresponding to various foods and drinks are displayed in the menu display area 91. Then, the operator drags and drops an icon corresponding to the food / drink that he / she wants to give at the party from the plurality of icons to the item area 92 with the mouse (step S4). Thereby, it is possible to select food and drink that the party wants to serve. Similarly, icons corresponding to other expenses are selected and dragged and dropped on the item area 92 (step S4).

  The amount information corresponding to the item cost is stored in association with the icon corresponding to the item for which the cost is generated. When the process of dragging and dropping the icon onto the item area 92 (step S4) is executed, the cost associated with the icon in the background is calculated and databased. Thereby, it is possible to easily select an expensive one and calculate the cost required for the event.

  The first time schedule display area 93 is an area for creating a schedule for performing event contents such as reception of a party, greetings, entertainment, etc. without executing the application computer 13. For example, when the chief greeting is performed between 17:00 and 17:15, “greeting” is described in the menu display area 91 by selecting “action” in the tab area 97 by clicking with the mouse. Display the icon. When the icon is dragged and dropped onto the 17:00 line in the time schedule display area 93a of the display screen with the mouse, the event content of "5 minutes" that is the shortest time unit, that is, 17: 00 to 17: 05, is displayed. It can be incorporated into the first time schedule display area 93 (step S4).

  After the icon is incorporated into the first time schedule display area 93, when the mouse cursor is moved over either of the two ends of the icon, the cursor changes to an arrow, and dragging the mouse in this state allows the icon to be stretched. Reduction is possible. When the right edge of the icon is stretched, the end time of the icon execution time can be extended by 5 minutes, which is the shortest time unit, and when the left edge of the icon is stretched, the icon execution time is incremented by 5 minutes, which is the shortest time unit. The start time can be extended. On the contrary, if the icon is reduced, the start time or the end time can be shortened. In the above example, since the right end is on the 17:05 line, the schedule from 17:00 to 17:15 can be set by extending the right end of the icon by 2 units. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily adjust the execution time of an event program associated with various icons.

  When an icon associated with the execution of the event content that does not involve the execution of the application computer 13 such as the “greeting” icon is dragged and dropped onto the second time schedule display area 94 in the time schedule display area. Even so, the incorporation is performed at the corresponding time on the first time schedule display area 93.

  Similarly, other event contents that do not involve execution of the application computer 13 can be incorporated into the schedule by dragging and dropping the corresponding icon in the time schedule display area (step S4).

  The second time schedule display area 94 is an area for creating a game with execution of the application computer 13 and creating a schedule for playing video and BGM. For example, when a predetermined BGM is output to the audio output device 21 between 17:00 and 17:15, the menu display area 91 is selected by clicking and selecting “application 1” in the tab area 97 with the mouse. Is displayed with an icon labeled “BGM”. When the icon is dragged and dropped on the 17:00 line of the second time schedule display area 94 with the mouse, the event content of “5 minutes” that is the shortest time unit, that is, 17: 00 to 17: 05 is displayed. It can be incorporated into the two-time schedule display area 94 (step S4).

  After the icon is incorporated into the second time schedule display area 94, when the mouse cursor is moved over either of the two ends of the icon, the cursor changes to an arrow, and dragging the mouse in this state allows the icon to be stretched. Reduction is possible. When the right edge of the icon is stretched, the end time of the icon execution time can be extended by 5 minutes, which is the shortest time unit, and when the left edge of the icon is stretched, the icon execution time is incremented by 5 minutes, which is the shortest time unit. The start time can be extended. On the contrary, if the icon is reduced, the start time or the end time can be shortened. In the above example, since the right end is on the 17:05 line, the schedule from 17:00 to 17:15 can be set by extending the right end of the icon by 2 units. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily adjust the execution time of an event program associated with various icons.

  The icon associated with the execution of the event program accompanying the execution of the application computer 13 such as the “BGM” icon is a case where the icon is dragged and dropped onto the first time schedule display area 93 in the time schedule display area. Even if it exists, the incorporation is performed at the corresponding time on the second time schedule display area 94.

  Similarly, other videos, BGM, games, and the like can be incorporated into the schedule by dragging and dropping the corresponding icons in the time schedule display area (step S4).

  As described above, the first time schedule display area 93 for arranging event contents that do not require execution of the application computer 13 and the second time schedule display area 94 for arranging event contents that require execution of the application computer 13 are provided. By using a timeline having a separate display area, it is possible to create a schedule for executing event contents that do not require execution of the application computer 13 and event contents that require execution of the application computer 13 at the same time. . In the above-mentioned example, the schedule including execution of more complicated event contents, such as performing the greeting of the president while executing the application computer 13 between 17:00 and 17:15 and playing the BGM set by the audio output device 21. Can be created. As described above, it is possible to create and manage an event schedule having a more complicated configuration with a single schedule creation system.

  In the present embodiment, the first time schedule display area 93 and the second time schedule display area 94 are separate timelines, but other embodiments are also conceivable. For example, a part of one timeline is a first time schedule display area 93 and a part of the same timeline is a second time schedule display area 94. A mode in which only a time zone in which event contents overlap is divided into a first time schedule display area 93 and a second time schedule display area 94 can be considered. In addition, the number of areas on the time schedule is not limited to two, and by making it possible to set two or more areas, it is possible to create a schedule including more complicated event contents.

  The image display area 96 is created by the first time schedule display area 93 and the second time schedule display area 94, which are images stored in the schedule creation computer 11 and corresponding to images and demonstration images for games. It is for displaying according to a schedule. This can be done by creating a schedule and clicking the preview button 101 with the mouse (step S6). The image that flows at this time is not the actual time set in the schedule, but an image that fast-forwards the actual video, an image that is displayed for the first minute of each event in the schedule, or each icon created for preview It is an image such as a corresponding video and a video.

  The graph display area 95 is an area in which numerical values representing the degree to which a person is impressed stored in advance in each icon are displayed as a graph after each icon is dragged and dropped into the second time schedule display area 94. . Thereby, it is possible to visually recognize the excitement at the actual party and to make a party that impresses the attendees.

  For example, the fluctuation range of the numerical value is set to −50 to +50, and the event content is set such that the larger the numerical value is negative, the stronger the “crying” element is, and the larger the positive numerical value is the stronger the “laughing” element. At this time, if each event content is set so that the graph swings upward (plus side), there are many elements of “laughter”, and conversely, if each item is set so that it swings downward (minus side), “crying” It can be intuitively read from the graph that the event has many elements. In this way, it is possible to give an indication of the excitement of the event, and it is possible to easily recognize visually whether the planned event schedule matches the user's wishes. It will be a great help. Note that the numerical value representing the degree of impression of each icon may be set in advance as described above, or may be configured to be set by the user each time the icon is incorporated into the time schedule. Also, elements such as “crying” and “laughing” may be configured to be freely set according to the user's preference. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a two-axis graph display with numerical values representing elements that are in conflict with the time axis is used. However, for example, a plurality of elements related to the excitement of an event can be displayed by a method such as arranging a plurality of chart graphs in time series. It is also possible to use the graph display used.

  The save button 98 is clicked with the mouse to calculate the cost for the party with the contents displayed in the item area 92, and the created schedule is stored in the storage unit (not shown) of the schedule creation computer 11 and saved ( Step S7). Information such as the schedule is stored together in the storage unit for each item. Therefore, the operator who provides the party venue can store and save the schedules of a plurality of cases in the storage unit of the schedule creation computer 11 by executing the flow from schedule creation to storage for each case. it can. Thereby, even a party venue operator who accepts reservations for a large number of events can accept reservations for a plurality of events by having only one event management system 10 according to the present embodiment per venue.

  Next, as a second example of the progress of a party using this progress management system, a method of use at the time of psychological diagnosis will be described. When the indicator 189 is on the psychological diagnosis icon in the first time schedule display area 187, the screen shown in FIG. The progression computer 12 executes a psychodiagnostic application program 46 associated with the psychological diagnosis icon, and instructs the application computer 13 to execute it.

  The display screen 220 includes an area 221 where an item “psychological diagnosis” is displayed, a question display area 222, a question selection button 223, an end button 224, a first time schedule display area 187, and a second time schedule display area 188. Indicated. When the presenter presses the question selection button 223, the four choices of the first question are displayed on the screen 35 by the screen area 222 of the computer for progress 12 and the display device 20. In response to this problem, when one of the four buttons of the slave unit 15 is pressed, the signal is sent to the computer for progress 12 via the repeater 18. In the computer for progress 12, the answer number for each slave unit 15 is stored in the psychological diagnosis storage area of the storage unit of the computer for progress 12 corresponding to each attendee.

  When all the questions are completed, the moderator clicks the end button 224 to estimate the personality of the person from the preset answers from the data stored in the psychological diagnosis storage area of the storage unit. A psychodiagnostic program is executed, and psychological diagnosis results such as the personality of each person are stored in the psychological diagnosis storage area. The diagnosis result is displayed on the display screen by the moderator clicking the action button 183 and clicking the name list. Then, by double-clicking the designated person's psychological diagnosis column, the psychological diagnosis result of the person is displayed on the screen 35 by the display area 222 and the display device 20. The result can also be printed by a printer by clicking print in the file 17.

  Next, as a third example of party progress using this progress management system, a method of using a quiz with four options will be described. When the indicator 189 comes to the first time schedule display area 187 as a quiz, a screen 230 shown in FIG. 23 is displayed on the display screen of the progress computer 12.

  The display screen 230 includes an area 231 in which an item “quiz” is displayed, a question display area 232, a question selection button 233, an end button 234, a first time schedule display area 187, and a second time schedule display area 188. . When the presenter presses the question selection button 233, the four choices of the first question are displayed on the screen 35 by the question display area 232 of the progress computer screen and the display device 20. In response to the problem, when the participant presses one of the four buttons of the slave unit 15, the signal is sent to the computer for progress 12 via the repeater 18. At this time, the time information from when the question is asked to when the button is pressed is also sent along with the signal. In the computer for progress 12, the answer number and time information for each slave unit 15 are stored in the quiz storage area of the storage unit corresponding to each attendee.

  Here, the operation of the repeater 18 and each slave unit 15 after the moderator presses the question selection button to give a question will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 24, the operation | movement with the three subunit | mobile_units 15-1, 15-2, and 15-3 is shown. In order to enable communication with a plurality of slave units 15, the processing becomes heavy with constant connection. In this embodiment, the slave unit 15 is connected to the repeater 18 only when a transmission request is received from the repeater. Information (signal) is transmitted. Further, the transmission request from the repeater 18 is made at intervals of 0.5 seconds, for example. Furthermore, since it is not always connected, if the information from the slave unit 15 is only answer information for the quiz, there is a problem that “an answer time smaller than 0.5 seconds that is the interval between transmission requests cannot be calculated”. Occur. For this reason, when answer information is transmitted at the same transmission request interval, it is not known which of the slaves has made an answer earlier, and the fast-pressing problem is not established. For example, at the transmission timings of step S90 and step S91 in FIG. 24, the response to the same transmission request is the answer, so it is grasped which answer is the earlier of the slave unit 15-2 and the slave unit 15-3 when there is no time measuring means I can't. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the slave unit 15 receives the question information, the timer starts counting, and when the button of the slave unit 15 is pressed (answer is confirmed), the timing is ended. Calculate information on the time taken to answer. By sending the answer time together with the answer information to the progress computer 12, the answer time for each participant can be accurately grasped finally in the progress computer 12. The flowchart of FIG. 24 will be described below for each step.

Step S81: The relay device 18 sends a transmission request to each of the child devices 15-1, 15-2, 15-3.
Step S82: The subunit | mobile_unit 15-1 sends answer information and answer time to the relay machine 18 as a reply to the transmission request of step S82. In addition, since the subunit | mobile_unit 15-2, 15-3 has not received the answer before the transmission request | requirement of step S81, it does not transmit answer information.
Step S83: The repeater 18 receives the answer information and answer time from the slave 15-1.
Step S84: The relay device 18 transmits the answer information and answer time from the slave unit 15-1 to the computer for progress 12.
Step S85: The handset 15-2 receives the answer when the button is pressed.
Step S86: The subunit | mobile_unit 15-2 complete | finishes timer measurement.
Step S87: The handset 15-3 receives the answer when the button is pressed.
Step S88: The subunit | mobile_unit 15-3 complete | finishes timer measurement.
Step S89: The relay device 18 sends a transmission request to each of the child devices 15-2 and 15-3 0.5 seconds after executing Step S81.
Step S90: The subunit | mobile_unit 15-2 sends answer information and answer time to the relay machine 18. FIG.
Step S91: The handset 15-3 sends the answer information and the answer time to the repeater 18.
Step S92: The repeater 18 receives the answer information and answer time from the slave unit 15-2 and the slave unit 15-3.
Step S93: The repeater 18 transmits the answer information and answer time from the slave unit 15-2 and the slave unit 15-3 to the computer for progress 12.

  As described above, by combining the technical elements of “transmission request interval” and “timing of answering time on the handset side”, a plurality of handset units 15-1, 15-2, and 15-3 are connected. However, the exact time from the question to the answer can be obtained. In addition, if it is configured not to send a transmission request to the slave unit 15-1 that has received an answer, the number of request target slave units decreases as time elapses from the question, so that information can be exchanged more efficiently. It can be performed.

  When all the questions are completed, the moderator clicks the end button, the quiz tabulation program is executed from the data stored in the quiz storage area of the storage unit, and the ranking result is the number of correct answers and the quick answer time.
