[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an improvement in a schedule table editing method.

One of the uses of office terminals is to manage schedules such as individual activity plans and reservations for the use of conference rooms and equipment.

A schedule management program for performing the schedule management described above is usually provided in a host computer and a terminal device, and displays a predetermined schedule table on the terminal device for reference either online or offline.

The schedule table provided by this schedule management program includes a schedule table and a weekly table and monthly table, which are a collection of schedule tables, but the reference time data that indicates the output start position is fixed in the system, such as the start time of work. is set.

However, due to the output limitations of display units, printers, etc., it is often not possible to output the entire schedule for 24 hours from the reference time, and depending on the user's activity time, it may be difficult to output the necessary time. It was necessary and inconvenient.

Therefore, there is a need for a schedule table editing method that allows each user to edit and output a schedule table.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a system configuration diagram, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a schedule table.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a system consisting of a host computer (hereinafter referred to as host) 1 and a plurality of terminal devices 4, in which schedule management programs 2a and 2b, which create a schedule table and control output, are installed on hosts 1 and 2, respectively. It is provided in the terminal device 4, and schedule processing is performed by online or offline processing.

The schedule management program 2a operates on the host 1 while interacting with the terminal device 4. The schedule management program 2a is provided with reference time data 7a for instructing the output start position, and based on the reference time data 7a, Edit the designated schedule table and output it to the terminal device 4.

The schedule management program 2b operates offline on the terminal device 4, and outputs a schedule table based on reference time data 7b (same as the normal reference time data 7a) provided in the schedule management program 2b.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the schedule table data 60 in a display format. The created schedule table data 60 is stored in an external storage device (not shown) provided in the host 1 or the terminal device 4. When outputting (displaying and printing) one after another, the reference time data 7a and 7b (for example, 9 a.m.) are referred to, and the display width of the display section is set from the reference time of 9 a.m. among the schedule table data 60 for 0 to 24 hours. (For example, 18:00) is edited and displayed in the output range 6+.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventionally, reference time data, which is the output start position of the schedule table, has been set only in the schedule management program, and the schedule table has been displayed or printed for all users based on the fixed reference time data.

However, if the output width is narrow and the entire schedule table is not output, or if the usage hours and business hours of each user are different, the output start position must be manipulated (scrolling, etc. in the case of display) each time. There is a problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide a schedule table editing method that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[Means for solving problems]

For the above purpose, the schedule table editing method of the present invention sets the highest priority among a plurality of reference time data and outputs it for each individual, as shown in Figure 1, which explains the principle of the present invention. A personal time storage area (^) for storing personal reference time data (50a) for setting the start position, and a personal time storage area (A-C) in a predetermined order based on the priority.
) and edits the schedule table data (60) using the first detected reference time data as the output start position.

[Effect]

For example, in the system configuration shown in Figure 4, different priorities are assigned to each person, with the individual being given the highest priority, depending on the time zone of the individual, the business time zone when the terminal device is used, the time zone when the host is often used, etc. A plurality of reference time data are provided, and each of the personal external storage means, the terminal device, and the host is provided with a time storage area (A to C) for storage.

When printing (or displaying) the schedule table, the time storage areas (A to C) are searched in a predetermined order based on priority, and the schedule table data 60 is edited based on the first detected reference time data. .

Therefore, by registering personal reference time data 50a in a personal external storage means, a schedule table tailored to the user's time zone is output.

The search order gives top priority to the personal time storage area A, and in the case of online, for example, the personal time storage area Δ.

The time storage area of the terminal (referred to as B) and the time storage area of the host (referred to as C) are searched in this order, and in the case of offline, the personal time storage area A and the terminal time storage area B are searched in that order.

Note that if the reference time data is not set in any of the above storage areas, the standard time data unique to the program is used as before.
