Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent schedule information which has the same date and time from being registered double by outputting a warning when scheduled date and time information on a scheduled event whose time interval with the scheduled date and time of a stored scheduled event is shorter than a reference time interval is newly inputted. CONSTITUTION:Schedule data is inputted by key operation on a keyboard 1 and stored and registered in schedule storage area 11d of a RAM 11c. Data on the reference time interval is inputted and stored and registered in a time interval storage area 11e of the RAM 11c. When new schedule data is inputted and registered, a piezoelectric buzzer 13 is driven to generate an alarm sound if schedule data whose the time interval to the scheduled date and time of the new schedule data is shorter is already registered. Consequently, schedule information which has the same scheduled date and time is prevented from being registered double and even schedule information which has a slight difference in date and time is prevented from being registered.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a schedule storage device, and more particularly to a schedule storage device that can input and store schedule information, that is, schedule line 1) and information on the scheduled date and time of the start of the event. It is related to storage devices.

[Prior Art] In a conventional schedule storage device of this type, a schedule that has already been stored and registered is stored.7. - Some devices are known to have a function of, when inputting schedule information having the same scheduled date and time as schedule information, a buzzer or the like will sound to prevent double registration of the schedule information.

F Problem to be Solved by the Invention J However, in the above schedule storage device, the scheduled date and time of the schedule information to be newly registered is, for example, 5 minutes or 10 minutes, compared to the scheduled date and time of the schedule information that has already been registered. If there is even a slight difference in time, the warning in Section t will not be given. Since it takes a certain amount of time to execute one scheduled event, if the time interval between the scheduled dates and times of two F-regular events is small, one of the two may become impossible to execute. However, in the conventional structure, seven notices are not issued. In this way, with the conventional configuration, the scheduled dates and times are registered only by a small amount of time! There was a problem with not being able to report.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a schedule storage device that can prevent double registration of schedule information with the same scheduled date and time, and can also prevent registration of schedule information with scheduled dates and times that differ by only a small amount of time.

[Means for Solving the Problems 1] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the schedule storage device of the present invention includes an operation input means for inputting information, a scheduled event inputted by the operation input means, and the start of the event. a first storage means for storing information on scheduled dates and times to be scheduled, and a second storage means for storing reference time intervals to be taken between the scheduled events input by the operation input means;
When scheduled date and time information of a scheduled event is newly input, a predetermined output means is sent depending on whether scheduled date and time information whose time interval with the scheduled date and time is shorter than the reference time interval is stored in the first storage means. To! We adopted a configuration that includes a control means for outputting notifications.

[Operation] According to such a configuration, scheduled date and time information of a scheduled event whose time interval with the scheduled date and time of the scheduled event stored in the first storage means is shorter than the time interval of the above-mentioned standard is newly input. and! A notification is output.

[Example] Hereinafter, details of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a schedule storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a keyboard as an operation input means, and a display 2 is provided on the top surface of the device of this embodiment shown in FIG.

By operating a and ib, character or numeric data of scheduled events and information on the scheduled start date and time can be input. It is also possible to input data on the time interval that should be taken between scheduled events, that is, the time that is expected to be required to execute one scheduled event (hereinafter referred to as "standard time interval"). In the following, data on scheduled events and their scheduled dates and times will be collectively referred to as schedule data.

In addition, the keyboard I has a mode selection key 3, a registration key 4,
A search key 5 is provided. The mode selection key 3 is used to select a mode for inputting schedule data (hereinafter referred to as "schedule mode") or a mode for inputting the above-mentioned standard time interval data (hereinafter referred to as "time interval mode").
This is an input key for switching and selecting the input mode. The registration key 4 is an input key for registering data input using the numeric keypad 1a or character key ib in the memory as described later. Further, the search key 5 is a human key for searching the scheduled events registered in the memory in the order of their scheduled dates and times and sequentially displaying them on the display 2, as will be described later.

Information input by operating each key on the keyboard 1 is inputted to a control section 11 that controls the entire apparatus in FIG. The control unit 11 is a microcomputer consisting of, for example, an LSI chip, and includes a CPU that is the main body of control.
1la, R that stores data such as its control program
It consists of OMI lb and RAM 1lc used as a working area.

A storage area indicated by the symbol lid of the RAM 11c is used as a schedule storage area, and data of scheduled events and their scheduled dates and times are stored and registered as schedule data, as indicated by symbols a and b in FIG. Also RAM11c
The storage area indicated by reference numeral 11e is used as a time interval storage area for storing data of the reference time interval mentioned above.

Further, data such as the above-mentioned schedule data and time interval data are displayed on the display 2. The display 2 is composed of an LCD or the like capable of displaying a predetermined number of characters or numbers, and is driven via a display drive circuit 12 under the control of a control section 11 to perform display.

The control unit 11 includes a piezoelectric buzzer for warning output, which will be described later.
1:3 is connected, enter the schedule data with -] on the keyboard L as described above, and enter R, A M.
1.1. The schedule can be stored and registered in the schedule storage area 11 of c and d. Also, input the reference time interval data mentioned above and store it in RAM1. lc time interval storage area]
, le can be stored and registered. When inputting and registering new schedule data, if schedule data has already been registered whose time interval with the scheduled date and time of the new schedule data is shorter than the above-mentioned standard time interval, the piezoelectric buzzer 13 is activated. By! A foretone is generated.

Such operations of this embodiment are performed under the control of the control section 11. The details of the control operation of the control section 11 will be explained below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5. Both countries show a control processing procedure using a control program stored in ROMI lb.

FIG. 4 shows the main routine of control in response to key inputs. The control unit 11 starts the process shown in FIG. 4 by turning on the power of the device or resetting the device, first by performing step s.
At t+, the data to be displayed is transferred to the display drive path 12 and displayed on the display 2. The display contents are determined by control described below.

Next, the control unit 11 determines in step S2 whether or not a key input has been made, and if no key input is detected here, the process returns to step Sl.

If it is determined in step S2 that a key input has been made, the process proceeds to step S3, where it is determined what kind of processing is to be performed by the key input data from the keyboard I.

If the key input is the mode selection key 3, the input mode is changed to the aforementioned schedule mode or time interval mode in step S4.

Both modes are alternately changed each time the mode selection key 3 is input.

In addition, if the key input of the j knob S3 is from the numeric keypad 1a while the schedule mode is set, the same input data is inputted as numerical data of the scheduled date and time in the schedule data in step S5. date and time input processing). Since the scheduled date and time data has multiple digits, steps S1 to S3 and S5 are repeated until all digits have been input.

Further, in the schedule mode, if the key input in step S3 is the character key 1b, the input data is inputted as character data of a scheduled event in the schedule data in step S6 (event input processing). Since the scheduled event data also has multiple digits, steps S1 to S3 and S6 are repeated until all digits have been input.

On the other hand, if the key input in step S3 is with the numeric keypad 1a while the time interval mode is set, the same input data is inputted as numeric data of a reference time interval in step S7 (time interval input process). . Since the time interval data also has multiple digits, steps 5R-33 and S7 are repeated until all digits have been input.

If the key input in step S3 is =a-goat-, then in step S8 the series of data input immediately before the input of the registration key 4 is stored in the RAM 11. c (information storage processing). If the above series of input data is scheduled event or scheduled [] time data, RA
It is stored in the schedule storage area 11d of M 11c, and if it is the standard time interval data, the time interval storage area! +, Store in e.

However, in the case of scheduled 11 o'clock data, the processing shown in FIG. 5 is performed instead of simply storing it.

In the process of FIG. 5, first, in step S10, the scheduled date and time data that is closest to the scheduled date and time data that is to be stored in the navigation is selected from among the scheduled date and time data that is about to be stored and the schedule data that has already been stored. , calculate the time interval between the dates and times of both data.

Next, in step Sll, it is compared whether the time interval obtained by the above calculation is smaller than the reference time interval stored in the time interval storage area 11e, and if it is smaller, step 5
At 12, the piezoelectric buzzer 13 is sounded, and! output the audio notification.

Then, in step 513, the scheduled date and time data to be stored is stored in RAM1.1. schedule storage area l of c
After storing and registering the ID, the process returns to step S1 in FIG.

Note that only one reference time interval may be registered, but here, for example, 30 minutes and 1 hour are registered. For example, if the time interval of the above calculation result is shorter than 30 minutes, the first sound in step S12 is "bee",
If the time is between one minute and one hour, the time before the warning will be different, such as a beep.

On the other hand, if the time interval of the above calculation result is larger than any of the standard time intervals, then! Since notification is not necessary, the process jumps from step Sll to step S13, stores scheduled date and time data, and returns to step S1 in FIG. 4.

Note that the storage order of the schedule data in the schedule storage area 11e is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, alphabetical or 50-syllabary order of event data, or registration order.

On the other hand, if the key input is by the search key 5 in step S3 of FIG. 4, information search processing is performed in step S9. That is, depending on which of the two search keys 5 is used for the key input, the schedule information stored in the schedule storage lid is sequentially searched in ascending or descending order of date and time, and the contents are displayed on the display 2 in step Sl. Display.

Next, key operations for inputting and registering schedule data after performing operations corresponding to the key operations of the apparatus of this embodiment and corresponding display states of the display 2 are shown on the left and right.

In this case, first, the mode is changed to the time interval mode by operating the mode selection key 3 in FIG. 6(A). As a result, the display 2 is displayed in a predetermined format that prompts the user to input numerical data for the first time interval, as shown in the figure.

Next, in FIG. 6(B), numerical data of the first time interval data (30 minutes in this case) is inputted by operating the numeric keypad 1a. Input data is displayed sequentially.

Next, in FIG. 6(C), the input time interval data is stored in the time interval storage area 11e by operating the registration key 4.

Next, in FIG. 6(D), the search key 5 is operated to accept the input of the second time interval data, and the display is changed to a predetermined format that prompts the input.

Next, in FIG. 6(E), numerical data of the second time interval data (in this case, 1 hour) is input by operating the ten key 1a. Then, in FIG. 6(F), the second time interval data is stored in the storage area lie by operating the registration key 4.

Next, in FIG. 6(I), the input mode is switched to the schedule mode by operating the mode selection key 3, and the display is switched to an input screen prompting the input of scheduled date and time data.

Next, in FIG. 6(J), the scheduled date and time data of the schedule data is sequentially inputted and displayed by operating the numeric keypad 1a.

Then, in FIG. 6(K), the above scheduled date and time data is stored in the schedule storage area lid by operating the registration key 4,
At this time, the process shown in FIG. 5 described above is performed. Assuming that the schedule data shown in FIG. 3 has been registered in the storage area lid in advance, the time interval between the data to be registered and the registered schedule data b is 40 minutes, so there is a "beep"! A tongue-lashing is issued.

The user who is operating the keys on the device before this warning can recognize that the schedule data that the user is trying to register has already been registered, and the time interval is between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

Note that if the time of the data you are trying to register here is within 30 minutes before or after (including the same time) "1.5:40" of data b, a warning sound "-bee" will be heard. The user can recognize that there is registered data whose time interval is less than 30 minutes in the schedule data that is issued and is about to be registered.

Next, if the user who heard the warning sound 1: "beep" decides that it is okay to register if there is an interval of 30 minutes or more, the user can make a reservation by operating the numeric keypad 1a in Figure 6 (I,). The characters for the event are entered and displayed, as shown in Figure 6 (M
), the scheduled event data is stored and registered in the schedule storage area 11, d by operating the registration key 4.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when attempting to register new schedule data, if schedule data whose time interval with the scheduled date and time of that data is shorter than the standard time interval has already been registered, a warning sound is generated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent double registration of data with the same scheduled date and time, and also to prevent registration of data with a slight difference in scheduled date and time. Moreover, the reference time interval can be set to a negative value at will by the user, which is convenient.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, two standard time intervals are registered and the 7 vowels are distinguished by comparing and concluding the magnitude relationship between the two, so the user can! This is convenient because it is possible to roughly determine the time interval between new and old schedule data when a good fortune is issued.

By the piezoelectric buzzer 13! (') Alternatively, the data for the scheduled date and time to be registered may be displayed blinking to give a notification. You can also make a notification by displaying the time interval calculated in step SlO in Figure 5.You can also make a notification by displaying the schedule data that is closest to the data you are trying to register6. [Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the schedule storage device of the present invention, the operation input means for inputting information, the scheduled event inputted from the operation input means C42, and the start of the event are displayed. a first memory for storing information on when the scheduled event is to be held, and a second memory for storing a reference time interval to be taken between the scheduled events input by the operation input means; When scheduled date and time information of a scheduled event is newly input, a predetermined output is performed depending on whether scheduled date and time information whose time interval with the scheduled date and time is shorter than the reference time interval is stored in the first storage means. A configuration is adopted that includes a control gE+= stage for causing the means to output a notice. According to this configuration, the time interval between the scheduled date and time of the scheduled event stored in the first storage means is based on the above criteria. When new scheduled date and time information for a scheduled event that is shorter than the time interval is input, a notification is output. This prevents double registration of schedule information with the same scheduled date and time, and also allows you to check if the scheduled date and time are only for a short time. An excellent effect can be obtained in that registration of schedule information that is not shifted can also be prevented.
