Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically connect a non-routine job schedule and a routine job schedule without making an operator manually change the routine job schedule even when a sudden non-routine job is generated and to reduce the work man-hour of the operator. SOLUTION: Schedules registered in the schedule registration part 11 of a central processing unit 10 are discriminated between the routine job schedule and the non-routine job schedule, the routine job schedule is held in a routine job schedule storage part 35 and the non-routine job schedule is held in a non- routine job schedule storage part 31. Then, a new schedule is prepared by connecting the non-routine job schedule and the routine job schedule in a schedule management part 13 and the schedule is held in a schedule storage part 39. A schedule processing part 14 refers to the schedule storage part 39 and makes the job be processed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the central processing unit 10 includes a schedule input unit 20, a storage device 30, and a display unit 5
0 is connected.

The schedule input section 20 inputs a schedule from outside.

The storage device 30 has an irregular work schedule storage unit 31, a fixed work schedule storage unit 35, and a schedule storage unit 39, and holds schedule information from the central processing unit 10. The irregular work schedule storage unit 31 holds the irregular work schedule from the central processing unit 10. The routine work schedule storage unit 35 stores the routine work schedule from the central processing unit 10. The schedule storage unit 39 holds the complete (updated and changed) schedule from the central processing unit 10.

The display unit 50 displays the result of executing the schedule from the central processing unit 10.

The central processing unit 10 includes a schedule registration unit 11, a timer unit 12, a schedule management unit 13,
And a schedule processing unit 14.

The schedule registration unit 11 stores the schedule information input from the schedule input unit 20 as an atypical work schedule storage unit 31 if the schedule information is an atypical work schedule.
, And if it is a fixed work schedule, it is sent to the fixed work schedule storage unit 35, respectively. When an irregular work schedule is input, a signal is sent to the schedule management unit 13.

The timer section 12 sends a signal to the schedule management section 13 at the registered time.

When the schedule management unit 13 receives signals from the schedule registration unit 11 and the timer unit 12, the schedule management unit 13 extracts schedule information from the atypical business schedule storage unit and the standard business schedule storage unit and combines them to form one schedule. The schedule storage unit 39 is used as schedule information.
Send to

The schedule processing section 14 processes a program based on the schedule registered in the schedule storage section 39.

FIG. 2 is a format diagram showing the structure of the schedule input from the schedule input section 20.
In the figure, the schedule includes a start condition 21 and a time 2
2, execution program information 23, and a flag 24.

FIG. 3 shows an atypical work schedule storage unit 31.
FIG. 5 is a format diagram showing a configuration of schedule information of FIG. In the figure, the atypical work schedule includes a start condition 32, a time 33, and execution program information 34.

FIG. 4 is a format diagram showing the structure of schedule information in the routine work schedule storage unit 35.
In the figure, the fixed work schedule is a start condition 36.
, Time 37, and execution program information 38.

FIG. 5 is a format diagram showing the structure of the schedule information in the schedule storage unit 39. In the figure, schedule information includes a first activation condition 40, a second activation condition 41, a time 42, and execution program information 4
3 is comprised.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the schedule registration section 11. In the figure, the schedule registration unit 11 refers to the schedule information input from the schedule input unit 20 (step 51) (step 52), and if the flag is on, sets the start condition 21 of the input schedule. Similarly, the time 22 is set to the time 32 in the activation condition 32 of the irregular schedule form (see FIG. 3) of the irregular business schedule storage unit 31.
To the execution program information 34
(Step 53).

When the flag is not set, the start condition 21 of the input schedule is set to the start condition 36 of the fixed schedule form (see FIG. 4) of the fixed work schedule storage unit 35, and the time 22 is similarly changed to the time 37. The execution program information 23 is stored in the execution program information 38 (step 54).

Next, when the schedule is stored, the schedule registration section 11 sends a signal to the schedule management section 13 (step 55).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the schedule management section 13. In the figure, when the schedule management unit 13 receives a signal transmitted at a time registered in the timer unit 12 in advance or a signal transmitted from the schedule registration unit 11 when a schedule is registered (step 56). Then, the schedule information stored in the fixed work schedule storage unit 35 is extracted (step 57).

Next, the atypical work schedule storage unit 31 is searched (steps 58 and 59). If a schedule is stored, the schedule information is extracted from the atypical work schedule storage unit 31 (step 60). The start condition 36 of the storage unit 35 is stored in the first start condition 40 of the schedule storage unit 39, the time 37 is stored in the time 42, and the execution program information 38 is stored in the execution program information 43. Further, the start condition 32 of the irregular work schedule storage unit 31 is stored in the schedule storage unit 3.
9, the time 33 is saved to the time 42, and the execution program information 34 is saved to the execution program information 43 (step 61).

Next, the schedule created above is stored in the schedule storage section 39 and the timer section 12 (step 62). If no schedule is stored in the irregular work schedule storage unit 31, the process proceeds to step 62.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the schedule processing section 14 and the entire operation. In the figure, when the execution time of the registered schedule comes, the timer unit 12 sends a schedule start signal to the schedule management unit 13 (step 63).

Upon receiving the signal, the schedule management section 13 refers to the schedule information in the schedule storage section 39 and selects a program to be executed (step 6).
4). The schedule storage unit 39 sends the selected program to the schedule processing unit 14 (Step 65).

Then, the schedule processing section 14 executes the sent program (step 66), and sends the execution result to the display section 50 (step 67). The display unit 50 displays the sent execution result (step 68).

The schedule management device stores the irregular business schedule when an unexpected business occurs separately from the standard business schedule.
By combining the two schedules to create a new schedule, it is possible to greatly reduce the man-hours for changing and modifying the schedule, which is troublesome for the operator.

The above-mentioned schedule management device operates according to a program stored in a main memory (not shown) of the central processing unit 10. Further, this program can be stored in a hard disk or a floppy disk, and can be loaded into the central processing unit 10 and executed as needed.

[0042]

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

The first effect is that even when a sudden business schedule occurs, it can be dealt with only by inputting the schedule. The reason is that a new schedule can be created by registering a sudden job as an atypical job schedule and combining it with the schedule of the standard job.

The second effect is that the time required for the operator to change the schedule can be greatly reduced.
The reason is that, even if a sudden irregular job occurs, a new schedule is created and schedule management is performed in combination with the regular job schedule, so that the operator does not need to manually change the schedule.
