JPS61139869A - Deletion system for schedule input - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a simple operating method which eliminates the need to set a mode when schedule contents are inputted or deleted by displaying an irreducible form encircling reserved time information and schedule information displayed over time information, and allowing the time information and schedule information within the irreducible form to be deleted. CONSTITUTION:A block 180 decides whether the time information and schedule information encircled with the irreducible form 211 are displayed or not. When those pieces of information are not displayed, a return to a block 100 is made to wait for a coordinate input. When the time information and schedule information encircled with the irreducible form 211 are displayed, an advance to a block 190 is made. This means that there is a schedule reserved corresponding to the specified time information and an input form 210 and the irreducible form 211 are displayed one over the other. The block 190 deletes the time information and schedule information encircled with the simple form 211. The deletion is carried out by a processing circuit 320.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a schedule management method realized in a work stage, a personal computer, etc. Regarding editing schedule input method 2.

(Prior art and its problems) Recently, the popularity of computers, seven-channel computers, and office work stations has been remarkable, and the
A large amount of software for A has been developed.

Among them, schedule management software has been created as one type of schedule management. The main function of this software is to manage personal schedules for meetings, business trips, etc., and it is a so-called schedule notebook or electronic version of a schedule board.

In the schedule management method of such software, when inputting and editing the schedule contents, it is necessary to set the input mode or editing mode such as deletion before inputting or editing, such as deleting. (Objective of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a method for inputting or deleting schedule contents. An object of the present invention is to provide a schedule input/editing method that does not require mode setting and realizes a simple operation method.

(Structure of the Invention) According to the present invention, using a coordinate input display device, time is displayed as a point by pointing on a time scale, or time is displayed as a line according to the length of a handwritten line along the scale. In a schedule input display device that inputs and displays time information by inputting and displaying time information and displaying a schedule by a handwritten image constituted by a coordinate data string input corresponding to the time information. , At the same time as you start inputting time information, the input form is displayed and a new time is entered.
At the same time, it also displays an irreducible form that surrounds the reserved time information and schedule information that are displayed overlapping the time information, and allows the time information and schedule information in the irreducible form to be input. A schedule input deletion method is obtained which is characterized by allowing deletion.

(Operation/principle of the invention) FIG. 1 shows a flowchart for explaining the invention in detail.

FIGS. 2A to 2F are schematic diagrams showing schedule display contents to facilitate explanation of the principle of the present invention. In FIG. 2, 200 is a display screen, 201 is a time information area, and 202 is a The schedule information area is: The time information indicates the time when a schedule is reserved, and the schedule information indicates the contents of the schedule such as a scheduled meeting.The image information is displayed in the corresponding area above. This is what is displayed.

Also, provided vertically on the left edge of the time information area 201 is a time scale for the schedule.

Below, the principle will be explained according to FIG. 1, using FIG. 2 as appropriate.

Incidentally, at the start of the operation shown in this flowchart, it is assumed that the time information and schedule information previously reserved on the 1st of the corresponding month are displayed as busy. The following description will proceed assuming that the schedule contents as shown in FIG. 2(a) have already been reserved and displayed.

In the figure, 2110 indicates an example of time information, and 2111 indicates an example of schedule information.

Block 100 in FIG. 1 accepts input of coordinate data.

In block 110, it is determined to which of three input areas the input coordinate data belongs: the time information area 2011, the schedule information area 202, and the deletion processing area. Note that in FIG. 2, the deletion processing area is omitted.

In the judgment of block 110, if the input coordinate data belongs to the time information area 201, block 120
processing is performed.

Block 120 determines whether only the input form or both the input and irreducible forms are being displayed.

Here, the input form and the irreducible form will be explained using FIG. 2 (bl and (C1).

The input form is a form that indicates an area where new time information and schedule information can be input. Figure 2 (b
), 210 is an input form, and 2101 is a starting point for inputting time information that triggers the display of the input form 210.

The irreducible form is a form that indicates an area in which time information and schedule information that have already been reserved for the specified time information are displayed. Figure 2 (21 in C1
1 indicates an irreducible form.

When time information is specified, there are cases where only the input form 210 is displayed as shown in Fig. 2 (5), and cases where both the input and irreducible forms partially or completely overlap as shown in Fig. 2 (C). may be displayed. However, as shown in Figure 2 (C), when both input and irreducible forms are displayed,
Consist of patterns that are distinguishable from each other.

The length of the input form 210 in the time scale direction is initially displayed at a length corresponding to the time of the specified value, and when the time according to the input time information exceeds the specified value, it corresponds to the time according to the input time information. Display by length. irreducible form 21
For the length of 1 in the time scale direction, one of the following is used.

l) Time information 2) Time information or schedule information, whichever is longer 3) Both time information and schedule information Figure 2 (dl,
(e) and (e) show schematic diagrams of display contents in the above three cases. In the case of Fig. 2(d), the rectangular area with the length corresponding to the time information in the time scale direction is irreducible 7 osim 21
It is 1. In the case of FIG. 2(e), as an example, the irreducible form 211 is a rectangular area having a length corresponding to the schedule information in the time scale direction. In the case of FIG. 2(f), as an example, an irreducible form 211 is a polygonal area having lengths corresponding to both time information and schedule information.

Returning to the explanation of the 70-chart in FIG. 1.

In block 21200, if neither input form 210 nor irreducible form 211 has been displayed yet, the process proceeds to blocks 130-150, which is the process of displaying the form. Conversely, if the form is already displayed, the process corresponding to the display process of the form is skipped.

In block 130, the irreducible form 21 to be displayed corresponds to the time information input in block 100fζ.
It is determined whether there is 'l, that is, whether there is already reserved time information and schedule information that overlap with the time information.

In the determination of block 130, the irreducible form 211
If it exists, the process proceeds to block 140, and if it is unnecessary, it is skipped.

In the boat 140, the above-mentioned FIGS. 2(d), (e),
An irreducible form 211 as shown in (f) is displayed.

In block 150, an input form 210 as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) above is displayed.

In block 160, the coordinate data inputted in block 100 is drawn in sequential coordinate correspondence to create time information and schedule information.

This concludes the explanation of one of the judgment results of block 1100, that is, the processing when the input coordinate data belongs to the time information area 201. Next, let us explain the case where the input coordinate data belongs to the schedule information area 202.
Te now.

At block 170, before schedule information is entered, it is determined whether time information has been entered.

If the time information has not yet been input, the Funilock 100 waits for coordinate input until the time information is input. If time information has already been entered, block 1
At 60, the layered data input at block 100 is drawn in sequential coordinate correspondence to create time information and schedule information.

Next, a description will be given of the final result of the determination in block 110, that is, the case where the input coordinate data belongs to the deletion processing area.

At block 180, it is determined whether time information and schedule information surrounded by irreducible form 211 are displayed.

If the information is not displayed, return to block 100 and wait for coordinate input. This means that there is no scheduled schedule corresponding to the specified time information, and input form 2
Indicates that only 10 is displayed.

Conversely, if time information and schedule information surrounded by irreducible form 211 are displayed, block 190
Proceed to. This indicates that there is a reserved schedule corresponding to the specified amount of time information, and that the input form 210 and irreducible form 211 are displayed overlappingly = In block 190, the irreducible form 211 Delete the enclosed time and schedule information.
