Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a date and time setting device that facilitates the setting of minutes of a time.

0002

[Background Art] Conventionally, in an electronic notebook device (portable computer device), the date and time of a meeting, etc.
If you want to memorize (memoize), move the pen down to the "Katsuji" icon displayed on the input screen, drag the pen up on the input screen to the display position, and the type plate for character input will appear. appears on the input screen. Furthermore, when the user touches the "TOKEI" button in the date and time input display area with a pen, the character input screen on the type plate changes to the date and time setting screen. On this date and time setting screen, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the current date and time when the "TOKEI" button is touched with a pen are displayed. In FIG. 11, 111 is an up button that increases the value by 1 each time the pen is touched, and 112 is a down button that decreases the value by 1 each time the pen is touched.

In FIG. 11, in order to set 19:00, the operator touches the hour digit up button 111 once with the pen, and the minute digit down button 112 at least 28 times (in case of going back). )Was.

[0004] For example, when a date and time set is used to set a schedule, etc., especially in the minute unit (minute value), "00 minutes" or "30 minutes" are often used. Therefore, the minute digit up button 111 or down button 1
12 required 30 pen touches in the worst case.

Furthermore, in FIG. 11, there is one up button 111 and one down button 112 for each year, month, day, hour, and minute (hereinafter referred to as the former case). , especially for each month, day, hour, and minute.
There is a case where the digits have an up button 111 and a down button 112 in the 1's digit and the 10's digit (each digit has an up button 111 and a down button 112) (hereinafter referred to as the latter case). In this case, in the minute unit, there is an up button 111 in the 1s place.
Since it has a down button 112, and an up button 111 and a down button 112 at the tens place, when setting the minutes, it is easier to press the up button 111 and down button 112 with a pen touch than in the case of FIG. 11 described above. It was convenient as it reduced the number of times I had to do it.

[0006]

However, in the former case described above, when setting the minutes, the minute digit up button 111 and down button 112 are touched with the pen many times (30 times at worst). Setting operations are extremely troublesome and require a large amount of time.

In the latter case, for example, if you want to set the displayed 13 minutes to 30 minutes, if you touch the up button 111 in the 10's place twice with the pen, it will change from 23 to 3.
3, and if the down button 112 in the 1's place is touched three times with the pen, the number becomes 30. Although the number of pen touches is reduced compared to the former case, the number of pen touches is still generally large, making setting operations cumbersome and requiring a lot of time.

As described above, in any case, in the conventional method of setting minutes, the setting operation is troublesome and takes a lot of time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a time setting device in which the minute of the time can be set very easily and the minute setting operation can be completed in a very short time.

0010

[Means for Solving the Problems] A time setting device of the present invention is a time setting device for setting a predetermined time.
When you specify a predetermined position, the corresponding value in the next predetermined minute increments of the displayed minute value will be displayed, and each time you specify a predetermined position, the predetermined minute value that is moved by the predetermined minute from the displayed minute value will be displayed. The present invention is characterized in that it includes a jump setting means for displaying the value of .

[0011]

[Operation] In the time setting device of the present invention having the above configuration, when a predetermined position is specified, the jumping setting means displays the corresponding value in the next predetermined minute increments of the displayed minute value, and further specifies the predetermined position. Each time, a predetermined value (predetermined corresponding value) is displayed, which is moved by the predetermined amount from the displayed value. This makes it extremely easy to set the minute of the time, and the minute setting operation can be completed in a very short time.

Next, the operation of the present invention in the electronic notebook device shown in FIG. 1 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Note that FIG. 6 is an operation flowchart showing one embodiment of the present invention. 7 to 10 are plan views showing examples of the screen 8 of the electronic notebook device shown in FIG.

First, before explaining the present invention, a date and time setting screen will be displayed on the screen 8, and an explanation will be given before setting the date and time. Click the "Katsuji" icon 8b displayed in the icon display area 8a of the screen 8 of the main body 1 of the electronic notebook device in FIG. 6 (pen down) and drag the pen 6 upwards (pen up) to the position where it should be displayed, a type plate 84 appears on the screen 8 as shown in FIG. This type plate 84 serves as a character input screen 85. Here, this character input screen 85 is used when inputting characters other than the date and time of a schedule such as a meeting. When a character is written in the character input area (square) 85a with the pen 6, a detection pattern signal of the character written with the pen 6 is supplied from the tablet controller 46 to the CPU 41. The CPU 41 temporarily stores this in the RAM 52, and then stores the character pattern stored in the RAM 52 and the ROM 51.
The character data in the dictionary corresponding to the matched character pattern is extracted and stored in the memory (V-RAM) 44 via the LCD controller 43. LCD controller 4
3, by extracting character data from the memory 44 and displaying it on the LCD 22 under the control of the CPU 41, the content written with the pen 6 is displayed in the character input area 85a of the type plate 84. . Further, when a desired writing position (for example, area 87) is touched with the pen 6, a cursor (not shown) is displayed there. In this state, if you touch the write button 86 with the pen 6, the character input area 85a
The character displayed in is written and displayed at the position where the cursor is displayed.

Next, when the "TOKEI" button 90 on the left side of the date and time display area 89 is touched with a pen, the character input screen 85 on the type plate 84 changes to the date and time setting screen 9 as shown in FIG.
Switches to 1. In the date and time setting screen 91 in FIG.
This is because the button 92 whose setting content is "from to (within one day)" is registered as an initial setting. Also, in the setting contents, an example is shown in which the date is not displayed at the end time.

In FIG. 8, when the "TOKEI" button 90 is touched with a pen, the tablet controller 46 detects this and notifies the CPU 41 of the touch. As a result, the CPU 41 determines the current date (year, month, day) and time "January 22, 1991 (Tuesday) 10:22 a.m." from the output of the timer IC 55.
take in. Note that the "Calendar" icon 8b displays January 22nd, and the "Tokei" icon 8b displays 10:22 am under the control of the CPU 41 based on the output of the timer IC 55. has been done. Next, the CPU 41, based on the current date and time,
On the date and time setting screen 91, enter "Tuesday, January 22, 1991" as the date, and "11:00 a.m." as the start time and end time (the nearest hour ahead of the current time (minutes are 00). )) is displayed. Note that FIG. 8 shows a state where the current date and time displayed on the date and time setting screen 91 are being manipulated to set a predetermined time, so the start time and end time are set to AM. 11:20 a.m. instead of 11:00 a.m.
minute, 1:00 p.m.

[0027] The up buttons 93 and 95 increment the numerical value by 1 each time the pen is touched, and the down buttons 94 and 96 increment the numerical value by -1 each time the pen is touched once.
It is something to do.

[0028] Also, jump buttons 97 and 98 (jump setting means)
is to advance the minute in 15 minute increments each time you touch the pen, so when you first touch jump button 97 (98) once with the pen, it will advance the minute in 15 minute increments next to the displayed minute value. (The appropriate value among 00 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes) is displayed (For example, if the displayed minute value is 13, 15 is displayed.), and then press the jump button 97 (98). Each time the pen is touched, the corresponding value is displayed, which is 15 minutes ahead of the displayed minute value (for example, 30, 45, 0, 15, etc.).

The display area 99a also has an up button 101.
, use the down button 100 to select one of the preset bell setting times such as "5 minutes ago,""10 minutes ago,""15 minutes ago,""20 minutes ago," etc., and display the input. You can also use buttons 102 and 103 to set the bell for ``blank (no display)'', ``in the next meeting'', ``money'', ``chime'', ``it's time'', and ``melody''. It is now possible to select one of the types for input display. Therefore, in the display area 99, it is possible to input and display the time and type of the warning bell, for example, ``Notice with melody 10 minutes before''.

[0030] Also, how to notify when the start time has arrived (
In the display area 104 for inputting and displaying the main bell, there are buttons 105,
A display area 107 for inputting and displaying how to notify the end time (final bell) using the button 106 has buttons 108 and 1.
09 to "blank (display nothing)" respectively.
, ``Next meeting'', ``Bell'', ``Chime'', ``It's time'', and ``Melody'' can be selected and displayed.''

Next, the times (start time, end time) on the date and time setting screen 91 are set to predetermined times (here, the start time is "11:30 a.m." and the end time is "11:00 p.m."). ) is explained below.

First, to set the hour of the time, touch the hour up buttons 93 and 95 the appropriate number of times to set the hour value of the start time and end time, respectively. 1:00 p.m."

Next, to set the minute of the time, set the minute value of the start time and end time by pressing the minute digit down buttons 94 and 96 the corresponding number of times (here, 2 times and 22 times, respectively).
When you touch the screen with a pen, the start time becomes 20 minutes and the end time becomes 00 minutes, as shown in the figure.

[0034] Here, the end time is set to the predetermined end time "1:00 p.m.", but it is desired that the start time be set to the predetermined start time "11:30 a.m.". Now, in Figure 8, "11:20 a.m." is displayed, so "
"20 minutes" may be changed to "30 minutes". Therefore, Hietsu Button 9
7 with the pen 6 (pen down), the jump button 97 is displayed in black and white as shown in FIG. 9, and when the pen 6 is raised (pen up), the jump button 97 is displayed as shown in FIG. The image will be displayed in reverse black and white again and will return to normal. At this time, that is, when the jump button 97 is touched once with the pen, the value of the minute of the start time "20" is switched to "30". This means that the start time can be set to the predetermined start time "11:30 a.m.".

Next, by touching the jump buttons 97 and 98 displayed on the date and time setting screen 91 in FIG. Functions of the present invention that can be operated will be explained using FIG.

The CPU 41 checks whether the time input mode has been entered (step S1). The CPU 41 is
When the tablet controller 46 notifies that the above-mentioned "tokey" button 90 has been touched with a pen, it is determined that the time input mode has been entered.

When the CPU 41 is not in the time input mode, it is performing other processing or
The processing has been completed (steps S1 and S2). When entering the time input mode, the CPU 41 displays the current date and the hour closest to the current time on the date and time setting screen 91 of FIG. 8 based on the output of the timer IC 55, as described above.

Since the present invention relates to the setting of minutes of time, the setting of minutes will be explained below. Here, the jump button 97 will be explained, but the same applies to the jump button 98, so the explanation will be omitted.

Next, the CPU 41 checks whether or not the jump button 97 has been touched with a pen (steps S1 and S3).
). When the jump button 97 is not touched with a pen, the CPU
41 performs other processing (for example, when the minute setting operation is performed by touching the up button 93 or down button 94 of the minute digit of the start time in FIG. 8 with a pen), and moves to step S1 ( Step S4).

When the jump button 97 is touched with a pen, the CPU 41 checks whether the current minute value at the displayed start time corresponds to any one of 0, 15, 30, and 45 ( Step S5), if any of the above applies, add 15 to the currently displayed minute value, divide by 60, and display the remainder as the minute value, and display it as the minute value of the start time. Then, the process moves to step S1 (step S10). This will change the minute values to 0, 15, 30
, 45, 0, . . . are sequentially changed to the next applicable value.

Further, in step S5, the CPU 41 determines that the current minute value at the displayed start time is 0.
, 15, 30, or 45, add 1 to the current minute value and change the minute value to 15,
Check whether it corresponds to any one of 30, 45, or 60 (steps S6, S7), and if it does not correspond to any of them,
The operations in steps S6 and S7 are repeated until one of the conditions is met. Then, the CPU 41 has minute values of 15, 30, and 45.
, 60, the process moves from step S7 to step S8.

[0042] In step S8, the CPU 41 checks whether the minute value is 60 or not. After displaying it as the minute value of the time,
The process moves to step S1. Further, in step S8, if the minute value is 60, the CPU 41 sets the minute value to 0, and sets the minute value of 0 or 00 (here, 00) to the minute value of the displayed start time. After displaying this, the process moves to step S1 (step S9).

[0043] Through the flow of steps S1 to S10 as described above, it is possible to perform a jump operation for minute values.

For example, to change the minute value "20" of the start time displayed in FIG. 8 to "30", the following procedure may be performed.

That is, when the jump button 97 is touched with a pen, the process moves from step S3 to step S5. Since the current minute value 20 does not correspond to 0, 15, 30, or 45, the CPU 41 repeats adding 1 to it until it reaches 30 (repeating steps S6 and S7), and changes "20" to "30". ” minutes.

For example, assuming that the minute value of the start time displayed in FIG. 8 is "30", the following procedure can be used to change this "30" to "45".

Add 15 to 30 to get 45, and then add 4
Divide 5 by 60 to obtain a quotient of 0 and a remainder of 45 (Step S1
0). As a result, "30" minutes are changed to "45" minutes.

As can be seen from the above explanation, when the time of a schedule or the like is set to a predetermined time, the minute value of the predetermined time is often 00 minutes or 30 minutes. By applying this, it is extremely easy to set the minutes, and the time required for setting operations is significantly reduced compared to the conventional method. Also, for example, set the minute of the start time to "9 minutes".
Therefore, it is not in 15 minute increments (0 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes). Even if you set it to "33 minutes", just by touching the jump button 97 twice, the time will go from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Setting is easy, and the time required for setting operations is significantly reduced compared to conventional methods.

In this embodiment, the jump button 97 (
98), the minute value is advanced to the corresponding value in 15 minute increments using the flowchart of FIG. For example, the minute value may be advanced in 20-minute increments (one of 0 minutes, 20 minutes, and 40 minutes). In the case of this 20-minute increments, in the flow of FIG. Is the value one of 20, 40, or 60?'' and the content of step S10 can be changed to ``Add 20 to the current minute value, divide by 60, and set the remainder as the minute value.''

In addition, in this embodiment, the jump button 97 (9
8), the minute value is advanced to the corresponding value in 15-minute increments each time the pen is touched, but the present invention is not limited to this, and each time the jump button 97 (98) is touched with the pen, the minute value is advanced to the corresponding value in 15-minute increments. It goes without saying that the minute value may be delayed by the corresponding value in minute increments, for example in 15 minute increments. Further, in the present invention, a skip button that advances the minute value to the corresponding value in predetermined minute increments and a skip button that delays the minute value to the corresponding value in predetermined minute increments may be provided together. This makes setting the minutes much easier than before, and the time required for setting operations is also reduced compared to the past. (More effective than this example).

In addition, in this embodiment, in step S8 of FIG. 6, when the minute value is 60, even if the minute value is set to 0, the hour value of the time is not advanced by one hour. , the present invention is not limited to this,
The hour value of the time may be advanced by one hour.

Further, in this embodiment, the jump button 97 (98
) (touching a predetermined position on the tablet 21 with a pen) operates the jump setting means of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to a piezoelectric type input means or a light. The jump setting means of the present invention may be operated by specifying a predetermined position on the screen using an input means using a pen. Further, it is also possible to perform key input instead of using a tablet.

In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to an electronic notebook device, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be applied to a timer device for a video tape recorder (VTR) that involves time setting. It can be widely applied to various electronic devices. When the present invention is applied to a VTR timer device, in the case of a recording reservation, for example, the recording start time is often 00 minutes (or 30 minutes in some cases).
Setting up the settings is much easier and takes much less time than before.

[0054]

Effects of the Invention As described above, if the time setting device according to the present invention is used, the skip setting means can skip the minute value of the time to a predetermined corresponding value. It is very easy to do, and the minute setting operation can be completed in a much shorter time than in the past, resulting in extremely large effects.
