2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a project schedule display system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a project schedule display system 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a schedule information recording unit 210 and a schedule information display unit 220. The project schedule display system 200 may be configured by adding a schedule information changing unit 230 and a memory unit 240, respectively.

The schedule information recording unit 210 assigns importance to schedule information input about the project and records it in the memory unit 240.

When a schedule registration is requested by the project manager, the schedule information recording unit 210 outputs a schedule input interface for a selected project (eg,'new product development') on the screen, and a schedule name input through the schedule input interface or Schedule information including a schedule date and time may be associated with the project and recorded in the memory unit 240.

Here, the schedule name (schedule name) may include keywords related to the above project, for example,'project start','intermediate report','final report','meeting','business trip','data preparation' ' It may be at least one of a milestone and a detailed schedule, and the schedule date and time may be a date and time at which schedule information starts or ends.

In addition, the schedule information recording unit 210 may assign the importance W input by the project manager in the schedule input interface to the schedule information. Alternatively, the schedule information recording unit 210 may automatically assign an importance level through keyword analysis of the input schedule name.

Here, the importance is a value indicating the importance of the schedule information, and the higher the importance is, the larger the value is assigned, and the lower the importance is, the smaller the smaller value.

For example, an importance level '10' may be assigned to schedule information related to the progress of a project, such as the start and end of a project, and a lower importance level '7' may be assigned to schedule information related to details of a project such as a meeting or business trip. have.

As an example, the schedule information recording unit 210 may provide a schedule input interface for assigning importance to each schedule information, or provide a schedule input interface for inputting schedule information to be assigned a corresponding importance at a time after selecting the priority level first. I can.

The schedule information recording unit 210 may record schedule information input through the schedule input interface in the memory unit 240 in association with a project name and importance.

In addition, when the time axis visualized on the screen is touched according to the schedule inquiry command, the schedule information recording unit 210 outputs a schedule input interface including a time value corresponding to the touched point as a certain date and time, and the schedule input interface The schedule information inputted in may be related to the importance given by keyword analysis and recorded in the memory unit 240.

For example, referring to FIG. 6, when a button ('+') 610 indicating'add schedule registration' is clicked on the time axis in which schedule information is arranged, the schedule information recording unit 210 Is output on the screen, and the time value corresponding to the point at which the button 610 is clicked (for example,'June 15th') can be automatically entered into the'date and time' in the schedule input interface 620, and the project Administrators can simply add new schedule information by entering'Schedule Name' and'Priority'.

Here, the button ('+') 610 is not displayed on the time axis, but can be displayed when a mouse or finger is placed on the time axis, and the project manager drags the button ('+') 610 along the time axis to provide schedule information. The date and time of can be adjusted back and forth. According to an embodiment, the button ('+') 610 may be located outside the time axis.

The schedule information display unit 220 retrieves the first schedule information of the importance level belonging to the importance range determined by the schedule inquiry command from the memory unit 240 and displays the first schedule information as level 1.

Thereafter, according to the screen enlargement command, the schedule information display unit 220 enlarges and displays the first schedule information to a level 2 higher than the level 1, adjusts the importance range, and adjusts the importance level belonging to the adjusted importance range. The second schedule information is additionally retrieved from the memory unit 240 and displayed as the level 1.

In addition, the schedule information display unit 220 reduces and displays the first schedule information from the level 2 to the level 1 according to the screen reduction command, adjusts the importance range, and does not belong to the adjusted importance range. The second schedule information of may be removed from the reduced screen.

Depending on the embodiment, the schedule information display unit 220 hides the second schedule information on the time axis, or is transparent on the time axis, instead of removing the second schedule information from the screen when a screen reduction command occurs. It can be expressed in a simple way, or only the presence or absence of schedule information can be displayed in the form of'dots'.

In this way, the project manager can check the sub-schedule through the enlargement of the screen, and the sub-schedule that has been confirmed through the screen reduction disappears from the time axis, so that the entire schedule related to the project can be easily inquired in order of importance.

First, the schedule information display unit 220 may determine the default value of the importance range as the highest importance among the importance assigned to the schedule information of the project in order to display the schedule information of the project while expanding from the highest to the lowest. have.

For example, if the priority range determined as the default value when the schedule inquiry command is generated is the highest importance level '10', the schedule information display unit 220 retrieves the first schedule information to which the importance level '10' is assigned from the memory unit 240. Thus, it can be displayed on the time axis in a size determined at level 1.

The schedule information display unit 220 may arrange schedule information on a time axis using various figures such as a circular type, a square type, a flow chart type, and a 3D three-dimensional shape type.

Here, the'level' indicates the size of the figure, and as the level increases, the size of the figure may also be determined to increase. In addition, the schedule information display unit 220 may determine the size of the text of the schedule information according to the visualized figure in the size according to the level.

The schedule information display unit 220 may be arranged on the time axis using the same figure for each schedule information, but by arranging the schedule information added according to the screen enlargement command in different shapes, the newly added layer on the time axis is different schedule information. You can make it easy for project managers to know.

When the schedule inquiry command is input by the project manager, the schedule information display unit 220 visualizes the time axis in any one of horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions within the screen, and displays the first schedule information on the time axis in time series. Can be arranged as.

At this time, the schedule information display unit 220 arranges the schedule information recorded in the memory unit 240 in a time series on the time axis based on the assigned importance, and arranges the schedule information on the time axis according to a scroll command and a gesture command to move the screen. It is possible to switch the time point at which the generated schedule information is visualized on the screen. The gesture command may mean a command based on a gesture of a hand in a device such as a smart phone.

Here, the time axis is a variable axis for displaying schedule information in chronological order according to the flow of time, and may be visualized in a predetermined direction by the project manager.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the schedule information display unit 220 visualizes the time axis 300 horizontally ('→') within the screen, and from the left to the right side of the time axis 300 from the schedule information having a fast schedule date and time. Can be arranged as. In addition, when the time axis is visualized vertically ('↓') on the screen, the schedule information display unit 220 may arrange schedule information having a fast schedule date and time from the upper side to the lower side of the time axis. In addition, when visualizing the time axis as a diagonal line ('↘') on the screen, the schedule information display unit 220 may arrange schedule information with a fast schedule date and time from the upper left to the lower right of the time axis.

Accordingly, the project manager can grasp the progress of the project at a glance through each schedule information arranged sequentially on the time axis. In addition, the project manager can easily search and check each schedule information arranged along the time axis by switching the time point at which the time axis is visualized on the screen through the scroll command.

For example, referring to FIG. 3, when a scroll command is input to the right side of the screen, the schedule information display unit 220 switches the time point at which the time axis 300 visualizes the current point to be later, and after the currently displayed schedule information 303 Schedule information of can be displayed on the screen.

In the present specification, the time axis may be visualized as a single time axis for each project. However, if the time axis is desired to be displayed on the screen without using a scroll command, the schedule information display unit 220 cuts a single time axis into a predetermined time unit. You can also display them on the screen in parallel.

In addition, the schedule information display unit 220 divides the time axis by a division line 801 for each project as shown in FIG. 8, arranges schedule information on each time axis, and displays schedule information of multiple projects in parallel through multiple time axes. I can.

Accordingly, the project manager can not only check the schedule information of multiple projects at a glance, but also infer and prepare the correlation between schedule information in the linked project.

As an example, the schedule information display unit 220 determines the first schedule information arranged on the time axis in level 2 when a screen enlargement command is input on a screen in which the first schedule information is arranged on the time axis in the size of level 1 Paper can be enlarged and displayed by increasing it to its size.

At the same time, the schedule information display unit 220 may further arrange the second schedule information on the time axis in chronological order. According to an embodiment, the second schedule information may be connected to the time axis with an arrow in the vicinity of the time axis, instead of being arranged on the time axis.

For example, referring to the screen 310 of FIG. 3, the schedule information display unit 220 includes first schedule information 301 to 303 corresponding to the priority range (eg, the highest importance level '10') determined according to the schedule inquiry command. May be searched from the memory unit 240 and arranged in the order of time series on the time axis 300.

At this time, if there is second schedule information 304 that does not fall within the importance range between the first schedule information 301 to 303, the schedule information display unit 220 corresponds to the schedule date and time of the second schedule information 304. At a point on the time axis 300, a'point' may be displayed, or the second schedule information 304 may be reduced to a size smaller than level 1 and displayed, so that the presence or absence of schedule information that can be additionally searched through a screen enlargement command may be indicated. .

Accordingly, when a screen enlargement command is generated on the screen 310, the importance range is adjusted from '10', which is the highest importance level, to '8-10', and second schedule information 304 additionally corresponding to the adjusted importance range. ) Can be retrieved from the memory unit 240 and further arranged in the order of time series on the time axis as shown in the screen 320 of FIG. 3.

As the schedule information display unit 220 additionally arranges the second schedule information 304 on the time axis, the first schedule information 303 with the latest schedule date and time is blurred, and a screen enlargement command is generated again, and the When the size of the second schedule information 304 becomes larger as in the screen 330, the first schedule information 303, which has been blurred, may be hidden from the time axis.

As described above, the schedule information display unit 220 displays only the first schedule information 301 to 303 of high importance on the screen 310 according to the schedule inquiry command, and when the screen enlargement command is issued, the importance not displayed on the screen 310 is low. The second schedule information 304 is displayed on the screen 320, and when the screen enlargement command occurs again, the second schedule information 304 is enlarged and displayed, thereby maintaining the size of the first schedule information 301 to 303 with high importance. In one state, through the display and size adjustment of the second schedule information 304 having low importance, an extended search in consideration of the importance of the schedule information may be supported.

In addition, the schedule information display unit 220 arranges only the first schedule information corresponding to the importance range 1 on the time axis when the schedule inquiry command is commanded, and when the screen enlargement command occurs twice consecutively, it corresponds to the importance range 3 (=1+2). The second schedule information to be arranged may be further arranged on the time axis, and when the screen reduction command is issued once, second schedule information that is out of the importance range 2 (=3-1) may be removed (hidden) from the time axis.

That is, the schedule information display unit 220 selectively displays schedule information belonging to the importance range adjusted according to the degree to which the screen size of the node-branch type interface is enlarged/reduced (the number of occurrences of commands). Can be marked on.

Accordingly, the project manager can briefly search for high-important schedules, expand the detailed schedule through screen enlargement, and hide the detailed schedule from the screen through screen reduction, thereby efficiently managing the project schedule according to the importance. You will be able to perform.

In summary, the project manager can issue a scroll command to the screen slide through finger touch, mouse click, or gesture input to search schedule information on the time axis in chronological order, and enlarge the screen by zooming out the screen to increase or decrease between two points. By generating a command or the screen reduction command, schedule information of the project can be easily inquired in order of importance.

According to an embodiment, when there is another project linked to the project, when the screen enlargement command is generated, the schedule information display unit 220 displays the second schedule information on a first time axis in which the first schedule information is arranged. Arranged in the order of time series, and together with this, from the memory unit 240 maintained in relation to the other project, the third schedule information of the importance belonging to the adjusted importance range is searched, and the second schedule information is linked to the first time axis. By arranging in the order of time series on the time axis, schedule information of multiple projects can be displayed in parallel.

For example, referring to FIG. 8, the schedule information display unit 220 further arranges schedule information having an importance level of 8 on the time axis of project A in which schedule information having an importance level of 10 is arranged according to a screen enlargement command, and is connected to the project. In B and C, it is possible to find the same schedule information with an importance of 8 and arrange it on another time axis linked to the time axis.

Accordingly, the manager of project A can simultaneously expand and inquire schedule information of other projects B and C linked to project A according to the screen enlargement command.

As described above, the schedule information display unit 220 can simultaneously display schedule information of several projects through multiple time axes divided by the divider line 801. In particular, if the project has a correlation, schedule of other time axes according to the screen enlargement command Information can also be expanded and displayed in parallel.

In addition, according to an embodiment, the project schedule display system 200 may further include a schedule information change unit 230.

When the schedule information arranged on the time axis is moved in a direction parallel to the time axis, the schedule information changing unit 230 functions to change the schedule date and time in the schedule information to a time value corresponding to the moved point.

For example, when the schedule information 802 is touched on the time axis shown in FIG. 8 and dragged to the right, the schedule information change unit 230 delays the schedule date and time of the schedule information 802 from the original'September 10'. In addition, when the schedule information 802 is touched and dragged to the left, the schedule date and time of the schedule information 802 may be moved ahead of “September 10”.

Accordingly, the project manager can easily change the existing schedule date and time to the time value of the point where the schedule information 802 is dragged and moved.

In addition, when the schedule information on the time axis is moved in a direction orthogonal to the time axis, the schedule information change unit 230 may change the importance of the schedule information by adding or subtracting it.

For example, when the schedule information change unit 230 touches (eg, clicks) the schedule information 703 on the screen 730 of FIG. 7B in which the time axis is visualized in the horizontal direction and is dragged upward orthogonal to the time axis, the schedule information The importance of (703) can be increased.

The schedule information changing unit 230 displays the schedule information 703 having increased importance in the same size as the other schedule information 701 and 702, so that the schedule information 703 is transferred from the existing layer C to the schedule information 701, 702) can be implemented to move to the same layer B.

Likewise, when the schedule information 701 is touched and dragged downward on the screen 750 of FIG. 7C in which the time axis is visualized in the horizontal direction, the schedule information changing unit 230 may lower the importance of the schedule information 701.

The schedule information changing unit 230 displays the schedule information 701 having a lower importance in a size smaller than that of the other schedule information 702 and 703, so that the schedule information 701 is converted to the schedule information 702 in the existing layer B. , 703), it may be implemented that it is being moved to a lower layer C.

Accordingly, the project manager can easily change the importance of the already assigned schedule information by touch operation on the time axis.

In addition, when the schedule information arranged on the time axis is moved in a direction away from the time axis, the schedule information change unit 230 may change the schedule information to move to a time axis of another project linked to the project.

For example, when the schedule information change unit 230 displays schedule information of different projects in parallel on multiple time axes separated by a division line 801 as shown in FIG. 8, schedule information touched on the time axis at the center of the screen When 802 crosses the division line 801 and is dragged to the time axis at the bottom of the screen, the corresponding schedule information 802 may be removed from the time axis at the center of the screen and displayed on the time axis at the bottom of the screen.

Accordingly, the project manager can easily move the schedule information to another project with a touch operation, making it easier to move the schedule information between projects.

As described above, the project schedule display system 200 displays schedule information arranged in chronological order on the time axis in stages in order of importance and displayed on the screen, thereby enabling schedule inquiry in consideration of the importance of the project.

Depending on the embodiment, the project schedule display system 200 may provide various UI/UX techniques (additional functions) for managing schedule information related to a project.

For example, the schedule information display unit 220 may highlight schedule information whose schedule date and time arrives soon among schedule information on a time axis, regardless of importance. In addition, the schedule information display unit 220 highlights schedule information corresponding to '7 days ago', '3 days ago', '1 day ago', and'same day' with various animations to distinguish it from other schedule information. Can be displayed.

For example, the schedule information display unit 220 may indicate the upcoming schedule information by displaying an arrow or dot on the schedule information that is closest to the current point, or by displaying schedule information in a different color or figure.

In addition, the schedule information display unit 220 may display schedule information whose schedule date and time has already passed among schedule information on the time axis to be less emphasized regardless of importance.

For example, the schedule information display unit 220 may display the schedule information that has already passed in the smallest, regardless of importance, process it to be blurred or transparent, or display it at a distance from other schedule information on a time axis that has not yet elapsed.

Accordingly, the project manager can search schedule information at a glance through various additional functions, so that the current status of the project can be accurately grasped.

According to an embodiment, the schedule information recording unit 210 may calculate an average value of importance assigned to the input schedule information, and may assign a relative importance to each schedule information according to the average value.

In this case, the schedule information display unit 220 may determine whether to display each schedule information by using the relative importance as the priority range.

For example, the schedule information recording unit 210 may classify schedule information to which importance higher than the average value is assigned to an upper group, classify schedule information to which importance lower than the average value is assigned to a lower group, and classify the upper group into a plurality of When divided into stages, a relative importance '1' can be assigned to the schedule information classified as the highest group, and a relative importance '2' can be assigned to the schedule information classified as the next higher group, and the same applies to the subgroup. .

Accordingly, the schedule information display unit 220 may visualize the schedule information on the screen according to the importance (absolute importance) input through the schedule input interface, but configures a layer in a group unit to which the same relative importance is assigned. After that, schedule information may be displayed on the screen in the form of activating the corresponding layer.

For example, if the schedule information recording unit 210 is assigned an importance level '10' to three schedules, an importance level '8' is assigned to two schedules, and an importance level '5' is assigned to'three schedules', the importance level Among the five schedules that are higher than the average value ('7.6'), three schedules with an importance '10' are assigned a relative importance '1', and two schedules with an importance level '8' are assigned a relative importance '2', Relative importance '3' can be assigned to '3' schedules lower than the importance average value ('7.6').

In this case, the schedule information display unit 220 configures three schedules with the same relative importance as '1' as Layer A, and configures two schedules with the same relative importance as '2' as Layer B, and the relative importance as '3'. The same three schedules can be configured as layer C.

The schedule information display unit 220 activates only the layer A corresponding to the importance range (relative importance) '1' on the screen according to the schedule inquiry command, and adjusts the importance range'+1' when the screen enlargement command occurs once. Up to layer B corresponding to the selected importance range '2' is activated on the screen, and when the enlarge screen command is issued again, the importance range is adjusted to'+1', and up to layer C corresponding to the adjusted importance range '3' is displayed on the screen. Can be activated.

In addition, when the screen reduction command is issued twice in succession, the schedule information display unit 220 may deactivate layers B and C, and activate only layer A on the screen by adjusting the importance range '3' by'-2'. .

According to the present invention, it is determined whether to activate each layer on the screen according to the relative importance (relative importance '2') determined in proportion to the number of times ('2') the screen enlargement command (or the screen reduction command) is input. By doing so, it is possible to inquire schedule information from those of high importance.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying schedule information of low importance according to a screen enlargement command in the project schedule display system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the screen 310 of FIG. 3, the project schedule display system visualizes the time axis 300 in the horizontal ('→') direction selected by the project manager when a schedule inquiry command is issued, and the highest importance level '10' is assigned. The generated schedule information 301 to 303 may be selected and arranged from the left to the right of the time axis 300 in the order of the schedule date and time being earlier.

In addition, the project schedule display system reduces the schedule information 304, which is less important than the schedule information 301 to 303, to the minimum size in the time axis 300, so that the presence or absence of schedule information that can be additionally inquired through the screen enlargement command. Can inform.
