Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a user to know what time the user needs to start at a current position so as to reach a destination on schedule by performing calculation according to stored information regarding the current position and information regarding the destination which is stored now by an arithmetic means. CONSTITUTION:The user of the electronic notebook inputs, for example, data regarding the opening data, time, place, etc., of a conference, etc., through an operation part 2 and stores them in a data storage part D1 through a control part 3. Data storage parts D2 and D3 are stored with time tables and necessary times of public communication means and private communication means (walk and taxi) and the data storage means D4 is stored with the position data on the user of the electronic notebook. An arithmetic part 4 calculates what time the user needs to start at the current position so as to reach the destination on schedule according to the data stored in the storage devices D1 - D4 and sends the calculated time to a timer 5 through the control part 3. The times 5 drives a buzzer 6 through a control part 3 at the reported time to generate an alarm, thereby letting the user know the departure time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic notebook having a timer alarm function.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of electronic notebook has a function that allows the holder to calculate by themselves what time they should depart from their current location in order to reach their destination on time and set the departure time. In this case, the electronic notebook would generate an alarm at the set departure time.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with the above-mentioned electronic notebook, the user had to calculate the time of departure from the current location by himself/herself using a timetable or the like, so there was a drawback that it took time to set the time. Another disadvantage is that when the holder's location changes, the predetermined time from that location to the destination must be recalculated and the alarm departure time must be reset.

The present invention is intended to improve such conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to easily set the departure time to reach the destination on time, and to make it possible to easily set the departure time in order to reach the destination on time. To provide an electronic notebook that can easily update the departure time and generate an alarm when the departure time reaches that time.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The electronic notebook of the present invention includes an operating means capable of inputting information regarding a destination and current location, a data storage means in which information input from the operating means is stored, and a data storage means. a calculation means for calculating a departure time from the current position in order to reach the destination on time based on information stored in the computer; and an alarm generation means for generating an alarm when the calculated departure time is reached. have.

[Effect]

When information regarding the current location is stored in the data storage means, if information regarding the destination is inputted from the operation means, this information is also stored in the data storage means, and the calculation means stores the information in the data storage means. Based on the information regarding the current location and the currently stored information regarding the destination, it calculates what time to leave the current location in order to reach the destination on time. The alarm generating means generates an alarm when the calculated departure time arrives and notifies the holder.

Furthermore, when the current location changes, simply by inputting the change data, the departure time is recalculated and the time at which the alarm is generated is automatically changed.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an electronic notebook according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic notebook of this embodiment is
A display section 1 that displays the time as a clock, an operation section 2 that can input data necessary for display, a control section 3 that performs overall control, and various data input from the operation section 2. In order for the holder of the electronic notebook to reach the destination on time, based on the data storage units to D4 stored via the control unit 3 and various data stored in the data storage units to D4. The controller 4 includes a calculation unit 4 that calculates when to depart from the current position, and the departure time calculated by the calculation unit 4 is notified via the control unit 3. It includes a timer 5 for monitoring, and a buzzer 6 that is driven via a control unit 3 by an alarm signal from the timer 5 and generates an alarm.

Next, the operation of the electronic notebook having such a configuration will be explained. Note that the data storage section D2. It is assumed that timetables and required times for public transportation (train, bus, etc.) and private transportation (walking, taxi) are stored in D, respectively. Further, it is assumed that the data storage unit D4 stores location data of the holder of the electronic notebook.

Now, if the holder of an electronic notebook wants to generate an alarm from the electronic notebook when the departure time arrives at the current location in order to get to the destination where a meeting etc. will be held on time, the holder must first For example, data regarding the destination, such as the date, time, and location of a conference, etc., is input from the operation unit 2.

The input data is stored in the data storage section via the control section 3. In the calculation unit 4 of the electronic notebook, along with the data regarding the destination stored in the data storage unit D+,
Based on the data stored in advance in the data storage units D2 to D4, it calculates what time to leave the current position in order to reach the destination on time, and the calculated time is sent to the control unit 3. The intermediate timer 5 is notified. As a result, the timer 5 monitors whether the notified time has arrived,
When the notified time has arrived, the buzzer 6 can be activated via the control section 3 to generate an alarm, thereby notifying the holder that the departure time has arrived.

In this manner, in this embodiment, the holder does not have to calculate the time required from the current location to the destination by himself/herself, and only needs to input information regarding the destination.

Also, once the time to generate an alarm is set,
When the holder's current location changes, the holder inputs new data regarding the current location from the operation unit 2. When new data regarding the current position is input, the control unit 3 stores this new data in the data storage unit D4, updates the current position data that has been stored in the data storage unit D4, and recalculates when to depart from the changed current position based on the data stored in the data storage unit or D4, notifies the recalculated time to the timer 5, and starts the timer 5. Now change the time at which the alarm occurs.

In this way, in this embodiment, even when the holder's current location changes, there is no need for the holder to recalculate the time required to reach the destination, and the holder simply uses the changed current location data. All you have to do is enter it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows you to set the departure time to arrive at your destination on time by simply inputting information about your destination and current location, making this setting easier than in the past. Moreover, even if the holder's current location changes, the departure time can be easily updated.
