Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to a timetable creation support system in which automatic creation by automatic assignment of subjects and manual correction of the automatically assigned timetable are mixed, and in particular, timetable creation for classes such as universities with various conditions. Regarding the system to support.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A timetable for a week is created by assigning subjects to each class, which is defined by the day of the week and the time limit. For example, a university generally has multiple faculties, departments, and majors. In addition to the large number of courses, restrictions on course assignment (ex. Avoiding duplicate assignment of required courses of the same major / regeneration / class to the same class, duplicate assignment of common courses between faculties and required courses to the same class) In addition to absolute constraint conditions such as avoidance and avoidance of duplicate use of the same classroom, including constraint conditions that include ambiguous elements that can be adjusted, such as the desired dates of lectures by teachers) are complex and diverse. For this reason, in many universities, timetable experts have traditionally referred to a wide range of constraints and, while negotiating with faculty members to make adjustments, assign subjects to each class and create timetables manually. It was

[0003] Conventionally, attempts have been made to construct an automated system for creating such a timetable. However, when constructing a system that completely covers a wide variety of complex constraint conditions, it is enormous to input only constraint conditions. It is difficult to build the system in a long time, and even if a system that completely covers these constraints is built, if the constraints are too complicated and too many, the contradictory situation of constraint conditions will occur. As a result, the number of courses that can be automatically assigned decreases, so the accuracy of automatic assignment is low.

[0004]

As described above, in the conventional manual timetable creation, the number of experts that can be created is limited because the timetable creation requires proficiency, and even when this expert creates the timetable, the conditions must be met. Since it is complicated and diverse, it takes a lot of labor and time to create a timetable, and it is relatively quick to assign which priority is given to which conditions, and how many subjects can be allocated efficiently. It is difficult to pass on the know-how of the expert because there is no means to record the devised points obtained as a result of trial and error. In addition, the timetable created within a limited period is not always the best one, but it is even more enormous to create multiple patterns of timetables to be compared for verifying the completeness of the timetable. Since it takes time, it is practically impossible to verify the degree of perfection.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and automates most of the timetable creation, and makes it possible to manually correct an allocation part whose constraint condition is relatively ambiguous. By doing so, it is possible to shorten the timetable creation time, reduce the work load, and improve the accuracy.In addition, all subjects are divided into multiple groups, and automatic correction can be performed after automatic assignment for each group, and the assignment accuracy for each group can be improved. By increasing the accuracy of the timetable by gradually increasing the timetable while increasing it, and by re-executing the automatic allocation by newly setting the constraint condition / order of application of the condition from the time / stage where the accuracy is low, By improving the accuracy and saving the history of automatic timetable creation, it is possible to inherit the once established timetable creation know-how. It is possible to reduce the work load and reduce the work load, and save the data of the timetable created up to an arbitrary point in time, so that it is possible to re-execute automatic allocation in a different constraint condition / order of application of the condition dating back to a predetermined point in time. By doing so, it is possible to easily create timetables for multiple patterns and to verify the degree of completion of the timetable.In addition, when the automatic assignment is re-executed, the subjects that have been confirmed to be assigned to the timepiece are excluded from the assignment target and are automatically assigned. Improve processing speed and accuracy by repeating automatic allocation only for undecided subjects while narrowing down the subjects, and multiple display of partially enlarged / reduced images of the timetable and subjects between partially enlarged images / total reduced images Assignments are allowed to be moved, courses for which assignments have been confirmed cannot be moved, and re-executions for courses for which assignments have been confirmed A timetable creation support system with good operability that supports the user's input operation, such as by prohibiting or displaying the future moveable / impossible state by manual correction of other frames when there is no moveable candidate. For the purpose of provision.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings showing its embodiments. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a timetable creation support system of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the present invention system). In the figure, 1 is a setting / input means such as a keyboard, a mouse, a pen for setting or inputting various data and commands, and a classification data input means 11 for inputting data for classifying subjects into groups (hereinafter referred to as sections). , A creation order setting means 12 for inputting the order of the creation stage (phase) of each section in stepwise timetable creation in section units, constraint conditions for automatic allocation (a specific example will be described later), and the application order of these constraint conditions, etc. In order to move the automatically assigned subjects to the constraint conditions and application order setting means 13 that are set at the beginning of the timetable, for each phase, or at the time of retroactively re-executing automatic assignment The automatic allocation correcting means 14 is provided.

Furthermore, the setting / inputting means 1 includes an item classification command, an automatic allocation execution command, an automatic allocation re-execution command that traces back a time point (or a phase), and previously created timetable data from the time point that is traced back at the time of re-execution. Save or clear command,
Instruction to confirm assignment of subjects to scenes, instruction to save history of automatic assignment, display instruction for various operation screens (condition setting, manual correction, constraint condition input screen, etc.), existing timetable data (day / time limit of each scene and each scene) It is a means to enter information such as (assigned subjects to). The subject classifying unit 2 classifies the subjects into a plurality of sections according to the classification data input from the classification data input unit 11.

Further, in FIG. 3, the subjects of the section of the creation order set by the creation order setting means 12 are selected according to the constraint conditions for automatic allocation set by the constraint order / application order setting means 13 and the application order of the constraint conditions. A history storage means 4 is an automatic allocation means for allocating to each frame, and stores a history of automatic allocation for each completed phase as a database 5 together with data of applied constraint conditions, application order and set phase creation order. Then, the timetable data created by automatic allocation and manual correction for each phase (or up to a predetermined point in time) is saved in the timetable data storage unit 6, and different constraints / conditions are available. Allows the creation of multiple timetable patterns in the order of application.

Further, the display control means 7 controls the display on the LCD 8 of various operation screens such as a timetable image of a week, an enlarged image of all frames for one day of the week, a reduced image of all frames for a week, and the like. For the subjects whose assignments have been finalized, for example, an icon indicating the finalization of the assignments will be displayed, the finalized subjects will be displayed in reverse, the display color will be changed, etc. A warning message is displayed when In addition,
In this embodiment, the case where the warning message is displayed on the screen has been described, but the same effect as that of this embodiment can be obtained even if the warning message is output by voice.

Next, a procedure for creating a timetable of the system of the present invention will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 and the operation screens shown in FIGS. 6 to 10. 6 is a timetable composition screen, FIG. 7 is a control screen, FIG. 8 is an automatic creation screen, FIG. 9 is a condition setting operation screen, and FIG. 10 is a phase rerun screen. The system of the present invention does not automate the assignment of 100% of the subjects, but automatically assigns 70 to 90% of the subjects by setting the constraint conditions that are considered to have high accuracy of automatic assignment, and then automatically assigns the constraint conditions. The timetable created by automatic assignment will be corrected by manually moving or assigning subjects that are not contradictory to the above and will be improved to 100% accuracy.

Further, in the system of the present invention, the subjects are classified into a plurality of sections, and the allocation accuracy for each section is increased stepwise while combining automatic allocation and manual correction to 100%. . As shown in the upper half of Fig. 2, when subjects are divided into multiple sections (for example, language, physical education, qualifications, and specialty) and are automatically assigned in a batch, the single assignment accuracy of each section is 90. %, The accuracy of the previous section affects the accuracy of the latter section, so the combined accuracy of the final specialized subjects will drop to 66%. Therefore, in the system of the present invention, as shown in the lower half of FIG. 2, the timetable is created step by step while automatically correcting the accuracy of automatic allocation of each section to 100%.

The user inputs the data for classifying the subject into a plurality of sections and the order of creating each section by the setting / inputting means 1, and selects from the preset conditions on the condition setting screen of FIG. And the constraints
When the application order of constraint conditions is set and automatic allocation is instructed on the control screen of FIG. 7 and the automatic creation screen of FIG. 9,
First, the automatic assignment means 3 automatically assigns the subjects (language subjects in FIG. 2) of the section in the first stage of creation to each class, and the assignment of subjects that conflict with the conditions is undetermined.
Automatically create a timetable for the creation stage. It is also possible to manually assign the subjects for which you want to confirm the teachers and the subjects for which you want to determine the days of the week and time limits, and to confirm the assignments.

The constraint conditions to be set are the same teacher setting for the same class, desired dates for teachers to attend, duplicate required course settings, setting not possible for each meeting (time limit that cannot be set at the meeting), setting not possible for each SS (ex. Do not set the physical education subject to the final period), MAX within one frame (the maximum number of subjects set in one frame),
Class day MAX (maximum number of days in a week), 1
MAX for maximum number of classes (maximum number of classes per week)
Overlapping classroom settings, non-consecutive subjects (ex. No language subjects are set after physical education subjects), same-frame impossible subjects, same-day impossible subjects, same-day course MAX (maximum number of courses on the same day), Consecutive subject setting (subjects that are always offered continuously)
And so on. A plurality of groups can be set for the combination of the constraint condition selected from these and the application order.

Next, when the user sets new constraint conditions and application order for subjects whose assignment is not fixed, except for the subjects whose assignment has been fixed, the automatic assignment means 3
Re-executes automatic allocation, and the accuracy of automatic allocation increases each time it is re-executed. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure for narrowing down subjects to be automatically assigned as described above. When the user selects the remaining undetermined subjects after repeating such re-execution, this subject is shown by displaying the candidate destination frames that can be moved and the unmovable frames in color, and the user Move the selected undetermined course to a movable frame and manually correct the accuracy of the automatically created timetable to 100%.

At this time, the display control means 7 clearly indicates the assignment confirmation by displaying an icon indicating the assignment confirmation on the subject whose assignment has been confirmed, inverting the display of the subject, or changing the display color. Further, the display control means 7 displays a warning message when the correction is added to the subject for which the assignment is confirmed during the manual correction.

The subjects of the section in the second preparation stage (Fig. 2
For physical education subjects, the automatic assignment means 3 automatically assigns the subjects to the timetable when the assignment accuracy of the language subjects is 100%. Re-runs and manual corrections increase allocation accuracy to 100%. Similarly,
Automatically assigning subjects (qualified subjects and specialized subjects in Fig. 2) in the sections of the third and fourth stages of preparation, and creating a timetable by manual correction in stages, as shown in the timetable composition screen in Fig. 6. A weekly timetable is created.

In order to pass on the know-how of creating the timetable created as described above to the next fiscal year, the system of the present invention, the data for classifying the subjects into a plurality of sections, the order of creating the sections, the constraint conditions, the constraint conditions. The history of stepwise timetable creation including the application order of is stored as the database 5. When creating a timetable for the next year, it is very rare that all courses offered each year will change.
The user can call the history of timetable creation for the previous year from the database 5, and can use the saved data to create a timetable for the parts that have not changed.

Further, in the system of the present invention, data indicating the creation order of the section into which the subject is classified is recorded in association with the subject to be processed including automatic / manual. Therefore, on the phase rerun screen shown in Fig. 10, when the user instructs re-execution of the timetable creation that goes back to the creation stage, the data related to the assignment of the courses at the back-stage is initialized based on the data showing the creation order. At the same time, the data in the related files for that subject is returned to the state it was in when it was traced back.
With this function, in the system of the present invention, the timetable can be re-executed any number of times, and the timetable accuracy can be improved by repeatedly creating the timetable while searching for the type of constraint condition of automatic allocation, the application order, and the like.

Further, by storing the timetable data once created up to a predetermined stage in the timetable data storage unit 6, the timetable creation is re-executed by going back through the stages as described above.
If the data of the timetable created by the re-execution is stored in another directory of the timetable data storage unit 6, it becomes possible to create timetables of a plurality of patterns.

Further, the system of the present invention adopts the layout of the operation screen for improving the operability at the time of manual correction. For example, FIG. 4 shows an example of the layout,
When the user clicks "Month (day of the week)" with the mouse on the upper knitting screen equivalent to the time schedule knitting screen of FIG. 6 described above, as shown in the middle part of FIG. Frames are enlarged and displayed on the entire screen, and more subjects are assigned to each frame than in the upper row. Similarly, when the user clicks “I (time limit)” on the upper knitting screen with the mouse, FIG.
As shown in the lower row, the I frame from Monday to Saturday is enlarged and displayed. The user can move the subject from one frame to another in a state in which the details of the assigned subject are displayed in an enlarged display.

FIG. 5 shows another example of the layout, which is shown in FIG.
As shown in the middle row, a sub-screen displaying a reduced image of all the weekly frames is multi-displayed on the main screen in which the I-IV to IV-timed frames of "Monday" are enlarged. As a result, the user can manually move the subject to be moved to another frame on the same day of the week, as well as from the main screen to the sub screen. Even if the reduced image of the week displayed on the sub-screen is an image excluding the enlarged day of the week or the time limit, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained.

Further, at the time of manual correction, when the destination candidate of the undetermined subject selected by the user is in the state of a stack of zeros, the system of the present invention selects the assigned subject from the unmovable frames. To the other classes, you can move the undetermined subjects selected by the user to the best candidate candidates for the destination, for example, all the subjects of the teacher who is in charge of the selected subjects. Once you have obtained the simulation by the total allocation method once cleared, and further, if you move the subject of the frame candidate that was determined as the best destination in the simulation to another frame, in the future, you can see the state of movement possibility seen from the pooled state subject. Indicated by color display. The user refers to the displayed future state,
After releasing the impossible state of the immovable piece, initially,
You can move the selected undetermined subjects to the timetable where you can move.

Furthermore, if an arithmetic element having a sufficiently high processing speed is used in the system of the present invention, the timetable data already created by hand or by another system is input, and this existing timetable data is used as the final answer. It is also possible to calculate the optimal solution of the constraint condition of automatic allocation and the application order of the constraint condition by brute force method. At this time, the system of the present invention applies the following formula to calculate the inversely calculated constraint condition and the creation accuracy in the application order. Creation accuracy = (number of courses for which automatic creation is the same as the existing timetable / number of courses for automatic creation) x 100

In the present embodiment, the case where the timetable is created step by step by dividing the subject into sections has been described. However, the timetable creation log is saved, the automatic allocation is re-executed from a predetermined point, and the allocation is confirmed. Selected items, warning message displayed when manually correcting assigned fixed items, re-execution of automatic assignment by narrowing down items other than assigned fixed items, other operation screen layouts, processing for stacking conditions, and constraint conditions / application order The same effect as in the present embodiment can be obtained by the inverse calculation of the above even when the automatic allocation is collectively executed.

[0041]

As described above, according to the system of the present invention, most of the timetable creation is automated, and the allocation part whose constraint condition is relatively ambiguous can be manually corrected. The burden is reduced and the accuracy is improved.In addition, all subjects are divided into multiple groups, and automatic correction can be made after each group is assigned automatically. As it is completed, the accuracy of the timetable will be improved, and the constraint condition / condition application order will be newly set and the automatic allocation will be re-executed from the time / stage at which the accuracy is low. Since the history of automatic creation is saved, the timetable creation know-how once established can be inherited to shorten the creation time and work load, and up to any time You can save the created timetable data and re-execute the automatic allocation in different constraint conditions / order of application of the conditions dating back to a predetermined time, so you can easily create multiple timetables and complete the timetable. It is possible to verify the degree, and when the automatic assignment is re-executed, the subjects that have been confirmed to be assigned to the frame are excluded from the assignment target and the automatic assignment is repeated only for the undetermined subjects while narrowing down the subjects for automatic assignment. Speed and accuracy are improved, and multi-display of partially enlarged / reduced images in the timetable and assignment assignment of subjects between partially enlarged / reduced images, and indication of whether or not it is possible to move the subjects whose assignment has been fixed ， Prohibition of re-execution for the subject whose assignment is fixed, other frames in the pool with no movable frame candidates It is performed and the preceding display of future mobile Yes No state by manual correction exhibits the excellent effect that operability is improved.
