BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a schedule information management system having a function of managing schedule information of individuals or groups.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a system for managing an individual schedule is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-119460.

This system stores and manages schedules, such as a regular schedule, after inputting schedules having the same contents at the same time every week on the same day.

Specifically, when the regular schedule is once registered in the system and then the schedule is changed, the editing process such as the change of the regular schedule can be collectively performed instead of one by one. Has been done.

However, in the above system,
It is only possible to batch edit regular schedules having the same content at the same time on the same day of every week, and when there is a change in each schedule, it is necessary to search for a vacant time zone and adjust the schedule.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and when inputting a schedule, the priority according to the contents of the schedule is given and the schedule can be changed. Even if the schedule is changed by inputting the date and time candidates, it is not necessary to perform complicated adjustment work such as searching for a free time zone when changing the schedule, and the schedule with improved operability The purpose is to provide an information management system.

[0007]

According to the present invention, at least schedule information, a date / time change candidate of the schedule information,
And an input unit that inputs the priority of the schedule information, a display unit that displays the schedule information input by the input unit, a schedule management unit that stores and manages the schedule information, the input unit, and the display unit. , And a control unit that controls the schedule management unit in an integrated manner. In the schedule information management system, after registering m pieces (m is a natural number) of the first schedule information in the schedule management unit, When a part or all of the dates and times of the m first schedules and the second schedule are overlapped when the second schedule information is input, the schedule management unit determines the m first schedules.
The schedule information and the second schedule information are compared with each other in priority, and the schedule information having a low priority is changed to the date and time of the candidate for changing the schedule and registered.

[0008]

When the schedule information, the date / time change candidate of the schedule information, and the priority of the schedule information are input at least, and the dates and times of the schedules overlap each other after the input of the schedule information, the schedule management unit But comparing schedule priorities,
The schedule information with low priority is changed to the date and time of the candidate for change of the schedule and registered.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a schedule information management system of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is an input section for inputting schedule information by a keyboard, mouse, etc., 2 is schedule information input by an input section 1. A display unit composed of a liquid crystal display, a CRT or the like for displaying 3 stores the schedule information input by the input unit 1, and a schedule management unit for managing the schedule information. Reference numeral 4 denotes the input unit 1, the display unit 2, the schedule. It is a control unit that controls the management unit 3 in an integrated manner.

On the other hand, FIG. 2 is a screen diagram of the display unit 2.
It is possible to input the items of the schedule information by the input unit 1 in the space surrounded by the frame of this screen diagram, and the input items of the schedule information in the present invention can be changed in priority, date and time, contents, and change. It targets the date and time.

The priority of the schedule information is classified into four levels according to the priority of executing the schedule. For example, when the schedule cannot be changed and the schedule cannot be canceled, the priority is 1. Can be changed, but the cancellation of the schedule is impossible, the priority is 2.

[0013]

[Table 1]

However, if the priority is 2 or 4, the schedule may be changed. Therefore, a candidate for the change date and time is input together with this priority.

FIG. 3 shows that the schedule management unit 3 uses 199
The schedule A and the change candidates of the schedule A are stored in a tree-like manner on June 16, 2nd year.

In such a configuration, the schematic operation of the present invention is shown in the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step S100, m pieces (m is a natural number) of the first schedule information are input. In step S110, second schedule information different from the first schedule information is input. In step S120, when the date and time of the second schedule information input in step S110 overlaps with that of the first schedule information, the process proceeds to step S130, in which the schedule management unit 3 selects the schedule information of low priority. Change to the date and time of the change candidate corresponding to the schedule information, and register the schedule information with high priority. If the date and time of the second schedule information does not overlap with that of the first schedule information, the process proceeds to step S140 and the second schedule information is registered.

The specific operation of the schedule information management system of the present invention having such a configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

Here, the schedule A is the already registered first schedule information, and the schedule B is the second schedule information to be input.

First, in step S1 of FIG. 5, the input of the schedule B to be newly input is displayed on the display unit 2
Is performed using the input unit 1 with reference to. Step S2
In Schedule A, Schedule B is already registered
If it does not overlap in time, the process proceeds to step S3 to register the schedule B, and if it overlaps, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the priorities of schedule A and schedule B are compared. If the priority of schedule B is high, the process jumps to step H, and if the priority of schedule B is not high, the process proceeds to step S5.

In step S5, the priorities of schedule A and schedule B are compared, and if the priorities are the same, the process jumps to step I, while if the priorities are not the same, the process proceeds to step S6. . If the priority of the schedule A is higher than that of the schedule B in step S6, the process proceeds to step S7 to re-register the schedule B and then returns to the schedule S1, while the priority of the schedule A is that of the schedule B. If not higher, end.

Next, in step S8 jumped from step H in FIG. 6, the priority of schedule A is 2,
The schedule management unit 3 determines whether the schedule A is 4, or if it is, the process proceeds to step S9, while the schedule A
If the priority of does not correspond to 2 or 4, step S1
Go to 5. After confirming the schedule A on the display unit 2 in step S9, the process proceeds to step S10. In step S10, the schedule management unit 3 refers to the change candidate of the schedule A, displays the change candidate on the display unit 2, and if there is an instruction from the user, after changing the schedule to the date and time of the change candidate. , Step S
Proceed to 11.

In step S11, schedule A
After deleting the change candidate of, the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, if there are no more candidates for changing the schedule A, the process proceeds to step S14. If there are no more candidates for changing the schedule A, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, the schedule management unit 3 changes the priority of the schedule A to a higher priority, or the user inputs and creates a change candidate of the schedule A. In step S14, the schedule B is registered.

In step S15, schedule A
If the priority of 3 is not 3, the process ends. If the priority of schedule A is 3, the process proceeds to step S16. After confirming the cancellation of the schedule A in step S16, the process proceeds to step S17. In step S17,
After deleting the schedule A, the process proceeds to step S14.

Further, in step S18 jumped from step I in FIG. 7, the priority of schedule A is 1
If the priority of the schedule is 1, the process proceeds to step S19. If the priority of the schedule is not 1, the process proceeds to step S20. In step S19, the schedule management unit 3 notifies the user that the schedule A and the schedule B overlap, and accordingly, the user selects either the schedule A or the schedule B and changes the date and time. After that, it ends.

In step S20, schedule A
The schedule management unit 3 determines whether or not the priority is 2 or 4, and if so, the process proceeds to step S21. If not, the process proceeds to step S23. In step S21, the change of schedule A and schedule B is confirmed, the user selects schedule A or schedule B, and the process proceeds to step S22. If the schedule A is changed in step S22, the process returns to step S9, and if the schedule A is not changed, the process proceeds to step S26. In step S26, an instruction to re-register the schedule B,
The user accordingly registers the schedule B and then returns to the start.

In step S23, schedule A
After the schedule management unit 3 determines whether the priority of the schedule is 3, the process proceeds to step S24, and if the priority of the schedule is not 3, the process ends. Step S24
At, the user confirms cancellation of schedule A or schedule B, the user selects schedule A or schedule B, and proceeds to step S25. Step S2
In Step 5, if the schedule A is canceled, the process returns to step S16. On the other hand, if the schedule A is not canceled, the process proceeds to step S26.

The above is a detailed description of the operation of the present invention. Using the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 and 6, the priority is set from 10:00 to 11:30 on June 16 as shown in FIG. Schedule A of 2 and 16:00 on June 18th
The change candidate of schedule A is registered at 17:30, and from this situation, June 16th, 10:00 to 12:
The operation of incorporating the schedule B of priority 1 into 00 will be described. The thick lines in FIGS. 5 to 7 indicate the loci of the operation.

In step S1 of FIG. 5, schedule B of priority 1 is input from 10:00 to 12:00 on June 16. In step S2, the schedule management unit 3 determines whether or not the schedule dates and times overlap. In this case, since the schedule A and the schedule B temporally overlap, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, when the schedule A and the schedule B are compared in priority, in this case, the schedule B has a high priority, so the process jumps to step H.

Step S8 jumped from step H
In, the schedule management unit 3 determines whether the priority of the schedule A is 2 or 4, and in this case, the priority of the schedule A is 2, so the process proceeds to step S9. After confirming the schedule A in step S9, the process proceeds to step S10.

In step S10, schedule A
The change candidate is referred to, the schedule is changed to the date and time of the change candidate, and the process proceeds to step S11. Step S11
In, after deleting the change candidate of the schedule A, the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, there are no more candidates for changing schedule A, so step S13
Proceed to.

In step S13, the schedule management unit 3 changes the priority of the schedule A to 1, and then proceeds to step S14 to register the schedule B, so that the schedule of FIG. 3 finally becomes as shown in FIG. Is changed to and the series of operations ends.

Although only one change candidate for the schedule A is set in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more change candidates may be set.

Further, although the already registered schedule information is limited to one schedule A, it is not limited to this and it is needless to say that a plurality of schedule information may be registered in advance.

[0036]

According to the present invention, at the time of inputting the schedule information, at least the schedule information, the date / time change candidate of the schedule information, and the priority of the schedule information are input. Even when inputting the schedule information of, the schedule management unit follows the comparison of the priority of the schedule information.
The schedule information having a low priority can be changed to the date and time of the change candidate.

As a result, even when the schedule is changed, it is not necessary to perform a complicated adjustment work such as searching for a vacant time zone when the schedule is changed, and the operability for the user is improved.
