Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily control pages where train information is recorded, by managing pages where train information is recorded in a storage medium based on a train ID, and TOP time, or TOP time and BOT time. SOLUTION: Any one train is specified and its train ID is read (S3051). Data having the train ID is extracted from a carried train control table and is placed in ascending order of the TOP time (S3053). For each extracted and placed data, running line area and block order of data front and back of it are derived (S3054). By referring to a block data control table based on these, and deriving page number which corresponding data has, front and back carrying pages are derived (S3055). In a train edition file, preset dummy page numbers are replaced for page numbers derived here (S3056).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention manages a page of a recording medium in which train information including at least a train name, a first station, a last station, a stop station, and a departure / arrival time of each station is classified and recorded for each traveling line section. In particular, since the train information relates to a train that runs continuously on a plurality of travel lines, if the train information is recorded on a plurality of pages for each travel line, the train information is divided. The present invention relates to a technology for managing each page number given.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As a recording medium for recording train information including a stop station of a train and a departure / arrival time of each station, a booklet on which characters are printed (a so-called timetable), a magnetic recording or a digitally recorded FD or CD-recording medium. Electronic devices such as a ROM and an electronic organizer (so-called electronic timetables, for example,
No. 7236) is known. Conventionally, in these recording media, in particular, in the so-called timetable of a booklet, train information is generally classified according to train travel line sections from the viewpoint of ease of use, and furthermore, recorded in a page-by-page manner.

[0003] However, train information includes trains running continuously on a plurality of line sections, such as long-distance trains and mutual entry. Such train information is divided for each travel line section and displayed on a separate page. In this state, it is difficult to find a connection between the divided train information. Therefore, in each of the corresponding pages, the page number is often recorded together with the departure / arrival time so that the page following the partial train information recorded on the page can be identified. Conventionally, when processing such a preceding / posting page, when a recording medium is created, after the work of arranging train information on each page is completed, a manual search is performed to find out on which page the preceding and following parts are recorded. And then enter the page number. Therefore, the work is complicated and time-consuming, and there is a problem that labor is required or errors are likely to occur.

[0004] Even though the basic train information is the same, there are a plurality of types of recording media containing the train information.
This is because the type and amount of required train information differs depending on the customer group, and the formation (layout) is changed according to each purpose. Furthermore, the content of train information recorded on such a recording medium is often partially changed due to the characteristics of the information, depending on the season, or due to periodic review. Here, when the train information is stored for each recording medium having a different layout, almost the same train information is stored in duplicate, and the storage capacity cannot be efficiently used. In addition, when the content of the train information is changed, the update process needs to be repeated for each recording medium many times, and as in the above case, there is a problem that human resources are easily reserved and errors are likely to occur.

[0005] In view of these circumstances, the present inventor presumes that this type of recording medium is conventionally managed for each page, and takes into account the characteristics of train information while maintaining a page suitable for automatic processing. Various studies have been made on the management method, and the present invention has been achieved. That is, the present invention provides a system capable of easily and automatically managing a page on which train information is recorded, for example, when creating a recording medium for recording train information. Aim. further,
It is another object to provide a method of editing a recording medium using this system.

[0006]

According to the page management system of the present invention, the train name, the starting station,
Based on the train information including at least the terminal station, the stop station, and the departure / arrival time of each station, the train information is classified into each traveling line section, and at least a part of the train information that continuously travels in a plurality of traveling line sections It is premised that the data is recorded over a plurality of pages by being divided for each travel line section. Since one train information is divided and recorded on a plurality of pages, page management is particularly necessary. The recording medium may be a digitally or magnetically recorded medium in addition to a booklet on which characters, which are so-called timetables, are printed.

[0007] The present invention is a system for managing the pages in which train information is recorded on a recording medium when such a recording medium is created or in a use stage after the creation. A block management table having data including a traveling line section to be recorded, and a block order representing the position of the page in the traveling line section, and a block management table recorded for each block order of the traveling line section. And a posted train management table having data including a TOP time and a BOT time, which are departure and arrival times recorded at the beginning and end of the block.
The page is managed based on the time or the TOP time and the BOT time.

[0008] The travel route section indicates a section of the travel route of the train, and the actual route section can be arbitrarily divided into two or more so as to fit in one page as needed. One page is divided into one or more blocks, and train information having the same traveling line section is recorded in each block. However, if there is a large number of train information items having a specific travel route section (if the number of trains running on a specific travel route section is large), the information cannot be accommodated on one page, so that the information is recorded on a plurality of pages. In this case, the order given is the block order so that the relationship between the pages can be understood. By assigning the block order, it is possible to manage the number of pages in which each travel line segment is recorded, and it is easy to manage when pages are not continuous but are skipped. Also, when the train information is arranged and recorded in a block of one page, the departure / arrival time recorded at the beginning (head) of each train information is the TOP time, and the departure / arrival time recorded at the end (end) is the BOT time. is there.

According to the page management system of the present invention, it is possible to manage on which page of the recording medium a part of the train information is recorded by the train ID, the TOP time and the BOT time. It is also possible to manage the connection of the train information pages, in particular, the page in which the preceding and following train information is recorded. Such management can be performed by selecting data having an arbitrary train ID from the posted train management table and comparing the TOP time with the BOT time as needed. Here, there is train information on a train whose date changes during traveling from the first train to the last train, such as a night train. In order to manage such train information, it is preferable that the TOP time and the BOT time include information indicating a date change in addition to the information on the departure and arrival times. More specifically, information is included that is the same day as the day when the first station arrives or departs, or that one or two days have passed since that day.

When a plurality of recording media having different layouts are to be created from the train information stored in the storage means, a block management table and a published train management table are created separately for each recording medium. In this way, even when any one piece of train information is recorded on two or more types of recording media having different layouts, it is possible to completely determine on which page each of the types of recording media is recorded. Can be managed. That is, since the train information to be stored in the storage means may be a group, the information can be efficiently stored in the storage means. In addition, even when the content of the train information is changed, the update operation may be performed only once for the group, so that occurrence of an error can be prevented.

A page management system according to the present invention is directed to a method for editing a recording medium in which a page in which a portion following the partial train information recorded on each page of the recording medium is recorded is recorded. Can be applied. This is another invention of the present application, and specifically, is an editing method including the following steps. According to this method, the page numbers of the part following the partial train information can be automatically assigned, so that time can be saved, labor costs can be saved, and errors can be prevented.

A) The train information to be recorded on the recording medium is selectively extracted from the train information group stored in the storage means,
Allocate these train information to each page for each running line area,
Storing this information as a train edit file. B) for each page, a block management table having data including a running line section of the train recorded on the page and a block order indicating the position of the page in the line section; A train train having data including a train ID for specifying a train recorded therein and a TOP time and a BOT time as departure and arrival times of the train recorded at the beginning and end of the block for each block order of The process of creating a management table. C) a step of selecting data having the same train ID from the listed train table. D) A step of rearranging the data selected in the above step C in the order of the TOP time. E) a step of obtaining a page in which each data is recorded by referring to the block management table using the travel line sections of each data and the block order of the line sections as a mark in the order rearranged in the step D. F) a step of storing the numbers of the pages on which the data arranged before and after the data of each data is recorded in the train edit file as the pages on which the portions preceding and succeeding the divided train information corresponding to the data are recorded.

[0013]

This embodiment is an embodiment in which the editing method of the present invention is applied when editing an X timetable. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a basic structure of a page constituting an X timetable edited in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, in the X timetable,
Classification is performed for each travel line section, and even if the line sections travel in the same section, the up and down directions are treated as different travel line sections. Further, the page 1 is divided into two blocks 3 and 5 in the upper and lower rows, and the upper block 3 is described as up and the lower block 5 as down.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a system for this embodiment. The maintenance unit 20 includes a data input unit such as a keyboard and a CR for displaying data.
It comprises a display unit such as a T screen. In the maintenance unit 20, the train information including the starting station, the ending station, the stopping station, and the departure / arrival time of each station is stored in the timetable database 10. After the train information is stored in the timetable database 10, the maintenance unit 20 also performs a change operation in a case where the train information is updated, added, or deleted.

Next, a practical editing operation is started. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing steps of the editing method according to this embodiment. First, the contents of the train information to be published in the X timetable are selected from the timetable database 10, respectively. Here, in order to simplify the work when editing the timetable periodically, for example, every month, the train edit file 40 storing the contents of the previous edit work is used. That is, the data extracting unit 30 selects only the train information that has been changed, such as an update, from the time of the previous editing to the current time from the timetable database 10 and cuts it out. At this time, the train information is cut out while being divided for each predetermined traveling line section in accordance with the editing contents (step 301). Next, in the data allocating unit 50, based on the extracted train information, the update, addition, and deletion processes are performed on the train information stored in the train editing file 40. Then, the pages are allocated to each page of the timetable according to the basic structure described above. At this time, each of the cut out divided train information includes a dummy page number,
For example, "000" is allocated (step 30).
2). In such a case, even if there is no change in the contents of the previously edited train information, the train information is still selected from the timetable database at or before the last edit. In this sense, it can be said that all the train information to be published in the timetable is selectively extracted from the timetable database 10. Note that, if necessary, the train editing unit 60 can perform a correction operation such as rearrangement (step 303).

The above operation is repeated, for example, in units of travel lines, and when the train editing work for all pages is completed (step 304), a page in which each piece of train information cut out while being divided from the timetable database 10 is posted. The number is determined. Using the block management table and the published train management table created based on the result, the preceding and following publication page automatic processing unit 65 collectively collects pages in which the portions preceding and succeeding each of the divided train information are published. A process of automatically searching and storing is performed (step 305).

The block management table and the posted train management table are stored in the timetable database 10. As shown in FIG.
For each page constituting the timetable, the running line sections to be recorded on the page and the block order are arranged. As shown in FIG. 5, the posted train management table arranges, for each block order of the travel line section, a train ID for specifying individual train information to be recorded in each column in the block, a TOP time, and a BOT time. Things. Here, the column number is also managed so that not only the page but also the publication position in the block can be known. Also, TOP
The time and the BOT time include, in addition to the departure and arrival times at the stop station, date information that indicates how many days have passed since the departure from the departure station. That is, “0-2258” represents 22:58 on the same day (the 0th day) as the day of the first train, and “1−2258”
“0128” means 1: 2 on the day after the first train (one day has passed).
Represents 8 minutes. It is desirable that data in these tables be automatically recorded in conjunction with editing work in the train editing unit 60.

Next, the processing (step 305) in the front / rear print page automatic processing unit 65, which is the center of the editing method of the present invention, will be further described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing details of this batch automatic processing step. First, an arbitrary train is specified and its train ID is read (step 3051). Then, data having the train ID is extracted and arranged in ascending order of the TOP time from the posted train management table (step 3053). When reference train information is added due to editing reasons, a plurality of pieces of train information may be extracted with one train ID. In such a case, the order is arranged in consideration of not only the TOP time but also the BOT time. For example,
Data having the time immediately after (but including the same time) closest to the BOT time of certain data as the TOP time is arranged next. In this way, for each of the extracted and arranged data, a travel line section and a block order of the data arranged before and after the data are obtained (step 3054). Then, referring to the block management table based on these, the number of the page of the corresponding data is obtained, thereby obtaining the preceding and following pages. (Step 3055). In the train edit file, the previously given dummy page number is rewritten to the page number obtained here (step 3056).
The above operation is repeated until the operation for all trains is completed (step 3052). Through the above steps,
The editing work on the train information is completed.

Finally, a layout such as a ruled line is edited. The timetable database 10 separately stores layout management information such as ruled lines and headings. The layout management unit 70 reads the layout management information and divides the layout management information for each page into a page-up file 80.
To be stored separately. Then, in the page editing unit 90,
Edit the final layout while displaying the same layout image as the actual page on the screen. Specifically, the page edit file 90 is read by the page editing unit 90, and the train edit file 40 is inserted therein. Further, the necessary layout is corrected while watching the screen display, and the layout information is stored in the page-up file 80 again. The page editing section 90 cannot rewrite the contents of the train editing file 40 itself, thereby preventing data change due to an operator's operation error. A timetable is created by transferring the page-up file 80 and the train editing file 40 to the data conversion unit 100 and performing data conversion.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, based on the train information group stored in the timetable database 10, other timetables (for example, Y timetables) having a different layout from the X timetable are also provided. In the case of editing, the block management table and the posted train management table are created by further classifying and organizing the timetable types X and Y.
