Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for inputting changes to a so-called train schedule for instructing train operation, and particularly to a method for inputting changes to a train schedule while displaying the train schedule on a display device. This is related to the change method.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a computing device showing a conventional timetable change input method. A train schedule is registered in the memory within the computer l. The keyboard 2 is a data input device for the computer 1, and includes various keys 2a corresponding to schedule changes, such as an operation change key, a line change key, and keys 2b for inputting parameters, such as a station name key and a numeric keypad 2c. has.

Next, the operation will be explained. When it becomes necessary to organize the train operation plan, the user uses the keyboard 2 to input the IK value into the computer and change the train schedule registered therein. For example, the user operates the keys 2a on the keyboard 2 to input operation changes, line number changes, etc., and then inputs the station name using the keys 2b to input the station at which the line number change is to be made. Also, specifying which train to change is 0.
- By operating the numeric keypad 2c with the number 9 on it. The numeric keypad 2C is also used for time input such as changing the time.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional train schedule change input method (as explained above, it is necessary to operate a large number of keys to change the - times of the train schedule, and the train operation plan before or after the change is not shown as a so-called train schedule). , it is difficult to understand visually, it is difficult to organize the desired driving plan, and since the input is from a keyboard, it is difficult to cope with the process of changing the timetable, and the operation is cumbersome. was there.

This invention was made in order to eliminate the problems of the conventional ones as described above, and allows the train schedule to be selectively displayed in color on the display screen of a graphic display before, during and after the change of the train schedule. The display makes it easier for the user to read the data, and allows the user to directly input input data such as train numbers and stations displayed on the graphic display using the cursor on the display screen that moves with the tablet. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a train schedule change input method that allows for the simple, quick, and accurate arrangement of train schedule changes.

[Means for solving problems]

The train schedule change input method according to the present invention connects a graphic display to a computer that executes train schedule change processing, and displays the train number, train operation trajectory, station name, and line number corresponding to the train number, distance, and time on the seven display screens. Various types of information related to train operation plans, including information, are displayed in a predetermined display format, and one of these pieces of information is selected using a cursor that is displayed on the display screen and can be moved arbitrarily. As a result, the input data required for changing the train schedule is sequentially read into the computer, the process of changing the train schedule is executed, and the results are displayed on the display screen according to the above display format.

[For production]

In response to input data required for changing the train schedule into the calculator using the cursor on the display screen, the calculator executes the process of changing the train schedule, and displays the result on the display screen as the train before the change. It is displayed in the same display format as the 7-o-4 diamond display.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, numeral 1 is a computer that stores the train schedule and executes train schedule change processing; numeral 3 is a graphic display (hereinafter referred to as GD) connected to the computer 1;
4 is a tablet connected to the GD3, 5 is a tablet cursor, and 6 is a button on the tablet cursor 5.

FIG. 2 is a layout diagram of a screen displayed on the GD3, and FIG. 3 is a display screen diagram of a train schedule displayed on the GD3 according to the layout shown in FIG.

A timetable display section 7 showing a train timetable (train operation trajectory) is displayed in the center of the screen.

In the displayed timetable display section 7, the vertical axis is the station, and the horizontal axis is the time. The color of the track indicates the type of train (for example, limited express is white,
Rapid trains are indicated by red lines.

The train number is not displayed on the display screen of GD3. Display the operation menu 8 at the bottom of the GD3 display screen,
A message area 9 is displayed at the bottom of the display screen, and a cursor 10 consisting of a crosshair is displayed on the display screen. This cursor 10 is controlled by the computer 1 to move on the GD 3 in response to the movement of the tablet cursor 5 on the tablet 4. The tablet cursor 5 is provided with first to fourth buttons (not shown), and when the first button is pressed, the coordinates of the tablet cursor 5 at that time are input into the calculator, and the second button is pressed.
~The fourth button 2-4 is not normally used.

Next, the operation will be explained. For example, when a train schedule needs to be rescheduled, the train schedule registered in the computer 1 is displayed on the GD 3, and a schedule change operation is selected from the menu 8 displayed thereon.

For example, when changing the number line, the cursor 10 should be placed on the number line 1) in the menu 8 shown in FIG. 3 and the first button pressed. Next, input the parameters.

To specify a parameter, place the cursor 10 on the corresponding point on the GD3 and press button 1.

In this case, for example, in FIG. 4, which shows a part of the coffin 3 enlarged, train a arrives at station A when the cursor 10 is set near point X, and arrives at station A when the cursor 10 is set near point Y. From A,
When it is set near 2 points, the computer 1 recognizes that the arrival point is station B.

When one timetable change operation is completed, it means that the change in the registered contents of the train timetable in computer 1 is completed, and GD3
The display screen diagram of the train timetable displayed above is changed as shown in FIG.

In the above embodiment, only one train schedule is displayed on the GD3, but zya class train schedules, such as the current train schedule and the changed train schedule, may be displayed in a superimposed manner. In this case, it is easy to compare train schedules.
The timetable change operation can be performed accurately.

Further, in the above embodiment, the up and down train timetables are simultaneously displayed on the GD3, but either one of them may be displayed.

In addition, although the train number was not displayed on the GD3 in the above embodiment, the train number reference 12 displayed in the menu 8
By selecting , the number of only the specified train can be displayed in the message area 10 for reference. This simplifies the screen.

Further, in the above embodiment, the time axis is set in 10 minute increments, but is not limited to this, and may be set in 1 minute increments, for example.

In the above embodiment, the second button of the tablet 4 is not used, but when the user does not know what to do next, the second button is pressed to activate the help function, and the message area 12 is easily displayed. An operation guide may also be displayed. This allows even beginners to operate it easily and without error.

Note that all menus may be displayed within the GD3. This eliminates the need for the user to move his or her viewpoint away from the GD3 each time the user performs an operation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, data for changing the train schedule can be input by operating the tablet while viewing the train schedule display screen displayed on the GD, making the input process easy and quick. This has the effect of enabling accurate traffic rescheduling.
