Time management method and its application

The present invention relates to a time management method and an application thereof, and more particularly to a time management method for use in an electronic device such as an electronic clock, an electronic watch or a smart mobile phone, which allows the user to generate a time greater than 24 hours a day. The illusion.

In general, most people will feel that time is not enough. They always hope that time can be a little more. However, such a willingness will never be realized, because one day is 24 hours and everyone is fair.

However, the average person will feel that the time is not enough, often because of the uneven distribution of time, or the user's life or work habits are not good. For example, if you plan to complete one thing in an hour, but it takes only 50 minutes to complete, then the remaining 10 minutes will probably be wasted and will be wasted until the next hour. .

Therefore, the market should provide a novel technology that can help users to re-arrange and plan the time within a reasonable range, so that users can generate the illusion that more than 24 hours a day can be used, and Will not affect the user's normal working hours.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a time management method and an application program thereof, which can be applied to an electronic device such as an electronic clock, an electronic watch or a smart mobile phone, so as to allow the user to generate a day greater than a special time plan. The illusion of 24 hours helps users manage and use time.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention first sets an absolute time and a relative time, and then sets one of the user's needs to obtain time. The absolute time and the relative time are added to each other for 24 hours, and the number of minutes per hour in the relative time is slightly less than 60 minutes, thereby constituting the time required for the user to use the number of minutes compressed in the relative time.

The effect of the present invention over the prior art is to increase the number of hours by compressing the number of minutes per hour, so that the user can have an illusion of more than 24 hours a day, which can be beneficial to the user for time. Management and application. Furthermore, the 24 hours a day is divided into absolute time and relative time, and the absolute time (usually working time or learning time) is not compressed, thereby allowing the user to pass the work without affecting the normal work or learning of the user. Inventions to change the way users plan and use time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The present invention mainly discloses a time management method which can be applied to various electronic devices such as an electronic clock, an electronic watch, a smart mobile phone or a tablet computer. The present invention is mainly to allow the electronic devices to perform special planning for a total of 1440 minutes a day, and re-plan the time of day to 25 hours, 26 hours or even 26 hours or more. Thereby, when the user is equipped with the electronic device, the time can be more grasped, and the time can be more effectively managed and utilized.

Referring first to the first figure, a flow chart of the setting of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. First, the user first needs to activate the internal time management program (step S10), whereby the electronic device can execute the time management method of the present invention to manage the time on the electronic device. . The time management program may be an electronic clock or an internal firmware of the electronic watch, or an application program (APP) downloaded and stored by the user in a smart mobile phone or a tablet. The time management program records the executable code of the electronic device, and the code records the execution information related to the time management method.

After the electronic device starts the time management program, the user can set an absolute time for the electronic device (step S12), and set a relative time (step S14), wherein the absolute time and the relative time The total number of hours is 24 hours.

Please refer to the third figure at the same time, which is a schematic diagram of time control before and after the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the upper half of the third figure, the user can mainly set the number of hours belonging to the absolute time 11 to be several hours in 24 hours a day, and the number of hours belonging to the relative time 12 is several hours. For example, as shown in the third figure, the absolute time 11 is set to 12 hours between 07:00 and 19:00, and the relative time 12 is set to 12 hours between 19:00 and 07:00. The number of hours of the absolute time 11 is added to the number of hours of the relative time 12, which is 24 hours of normal, and 60 minutes per hour.

In this embodiment, the absolute time 11 is mainly set as the working time of the user (ie, the normal working time), and the relative time 12 is the leisure time of the user, and the relative time 12 can be further divided into A life time 121 and a sleep time 122, wherein the number of minutes per hour in the life time 121 is the same as the number of minutes per hour in the sleep time 122. In the embodiment of the third figure, the life time 121 is 5 hours between 19:00 and 00:00, and the sleep time 122 is 7 hours between 00:00 and 7:00. Description.

In this embodiment, the working time of the user is set to the absolute time 11, and the absolute time 11 is not compressed regardless of the setting of the electronic device, even if the user uses the method of the present invention. Re-planning time will not cause any undue influence on normal working hours. It is worth mentioning that the absolute time 11 can also be set as the user's learning time or school time, so that the user can manage the time without affecting the normal life of the user.

Returning to the first figure, after the user sets the absolute time 11 and the relative time 12, the user can further set one of the required time (such as the time 14 as shown in the third figure) (step S16), for example, the user can set to fight for one hour or two hours. Then, the time management program adjusts the number of minutes per hour in the relative time 12 by the number of hours of the time (step S18). That is, the time management program compresses the relative time 12 by time and generates an adjusted relative time (such as the adjusted relative time 13 shown in the lower half of the third figure) (step S20). The number of minutes per hour in the relative time 13 is less than the number of minutes per hour in the relative time 12, and the difference in time is the time 14 (detailed later). Finally, after the adjustment of the time management program is completed, the electronic device sequentially runs and displays the absolute time 11, the adjusted relative time 13 and the winning time 14 according to the setting and the adjustment result (step S22).

In the embodiment of the third figure, the time 14 is taken as an example of one hour, and as mentioned above, only 24 hours a day, 60 minutes per hour, so a total of 1440 minutes a day is fixed, therefore, this The technical means of the invention is to construct one hour of the time 14 by compressing the number of minutes per hour in the relative time 12 and compressing the resulting time. That is to say, as long as the user has set the time for the competition 14, the number of minutes per hour in the adjusted relative time 13 must be less than 60 minutes.

Specifically, the total number of minutes of the absolute time 11, the total number of minutes of the adjusted relative time 13 and the total number of minutes of the time 14 are still normal, but the normal time is 1140 minutes. The number of hours after the adjustment relative time 13 and the number of hours of the time 14 are added, which is greater than 24 hours. In this embodiment, the time in the time 14 is preset to be 60 minutes per hour. Therefore, as shown in the embodiment of the third figure, if the time 14 is set to one hour, the time management program must be adjusted and The relative time 12 is compressed to vacate for 60 minutes to constitute one hour required for the time 14 and the adjusted relative time 13 is generated. That is to say, the adjusted relative time 13 is 60 minutes less than the relative time 12.

As shown in the third figure, if the relative time 12 is 12 hours and 60 minutes per hour, the relative time 12 has 720 minutes. If the time is required to be vacant for 60 minutes, it means that the adjusted relative time 13 has 720. –60=660 minutes. If the 126 minutes are used to constitute the 12 hours required for the adjusted relative time 13, then the adjusted relative time 13 is only 660/12 = 55 minutes per hour. As shown in the lower half of the third figure, the adjusted relative time 13 includes an adjusted life time 131 and an adjusted sleep time 132, wherein the adjusted life time 131 is still 5 hours, but actually only per hour. 55 minutes, 25 minutes less than the life time 121 before adjustment; the adjusted sleep time 132 is still seven hours, but actually only 55 minutes per hour, compared with the sleep time 121 before adjustment It took 35 minutes less. Moreover, in this embodiment, the number of minutes per hour in the adjusted life time 131 is the same as the number of minutes per hour in the adjusted sleep time 132. According to the present invention, if the user sets the alarm of the electronic device to sound at 07:00 in the morning, it can be woken up by the alarm clock one hour earlier due to the compression of time, and effectively utilizes the one hour of the time 14 (ie, One hour of the time for the fight is considered to be 07:00~07:00).

Continuing to refer to the second figure, it is a flowchart of the execution of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. If exemplified in the embodiment in the third figure, in the above step S22, the electronic device mainly runs and displays the absolute time 11 (step S30), that is, runs under the rule of 60 minutes per hour. Displayed and run 12 times (12 hours). Moreover, the electronic device continues to determine whether the absolute time 11 is completed by the time management program (step S32). If the absolute time 11 has not been run yet (not yet until 19:00), the electronic device returns to the step S30, the electronic device The unit continues to run and display on a 60 minute per hour rule.

If the absolute time 11 is completed (has reached 19:00), the electronic device further starts running and displays the adjusted relative time 13 (step S34), that is, runs and displays with a rule of 55 minutes per hour, and Run 12 times (12 hours). Then, the time management program continuously determines whether the adjusted relative time 13 has been completed (step S36). If the adjusted relative time 13 has not been run yet (not yet 07:00), then the process returns to the step S34, the electronic The device continues to run and display with a 55 minute per hour rule.

If the adjusted relative time 13 is completed (to 07:00), the electronic device further starts running and displays the winning relative time 14 (step S38), that is, running and displaying with a rule of 60 minutes per hour, And run 1 time (1 hour). Then, the time management program continuously determines whether the acquisition time 14 has been completed (step S40). If the acquisition time 14 has not been completed, the process returns to the step S38, and the electronic device continues to run with a rule of 60 minutes per hour. display.

Finally, if the winning time 14 has been executed (the display is still 07:00), and the electronic device is not turned off (step S42), then returning to the step S30, the electronic device is re-run and displays the absolute Time 11 (At this point, the time has returned to true 07:00 and re-run with a 60-minute rule).

It is worth mentioning that, in the above embodiment, the electronic device can run and display according to the rule of 55 minutes per hour when the adjusted relative time 13 is run, for example, after running to 00:55, the next The minute is switched to 01:00, letting the user think that the current time is 01:00. Furthermore, the electronic device can also be operated according to the rule of 55 minutes per hour, but is displayed in a rule of 60 minutes per hour, that is, the time is still displayed in the manner of 60 minutes per hour for the user to view, but The running speed of the time of the electronic device is increased, so the displayed 60 minutes actually only takes up 55 minutes of the actual time. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be limited thereto.

Continuing to refer to the fourth figure, a schematic diagram of time control before and after the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the upper half of the fourth figure, in the present embodiment, the absolute time 11 is set to 8 hours (09:00 to 17:00), and the relative time 12 is set to 16 hours (17:00 to 09: 00), wherein the living time 121 is 7 hours (17:00~00:00), and the sleeping time 122 is 9 hours (00:00~09:00). Further, the user sets the time 14 to be 2 hours, that is, the time management program needs to compress 120 minutes from 16 hours and 960 minutes of the relative time 12 to form the time 14 .

As shown in the lower half of the fourth figure, the total number of minutes after the adjusted relative time 13 is 960 - 120 = 840 minutes, and the 840 minutes constitutes the 16 hours required for the adjusted relative time 13, so the adjustment is made. Relative time 13 is 840/16 = 52.5 minutes per hour. In this way, the electronic device can run and display the 8 hours of the absolute time 11 for 8 hours per hour, run at a rule of 52.5 minutes per hour and display 16 of the adjusted relative time 13 Hours, and run with a rule of 60 minutes per hour and show 2 hours of the time 14 of the fight. Therefore, although the actual day is still 1440 minutes, in the state where the electronic device is used, the user has an illusion that 26 hours can be used one day.

Please refer to the fifth figure for a time display of a smart mobile phone. In this embodiment, the electronic device is implemented by a mobile phone 2 having an input unit 21 and a display unit 22. In steps S12-S16 of the first figure, the electronic device can accept an external operation of the user through the input unit 21 to set the absolute time 11, the relative time 12, and the winning time 14. The input unit 21 is mainly a physical button, but depending on the type of the electronic device, the input unit 21 can also be a touch input unit on the electronic device, or an external device such as a keyboard or a mouse. Not limited. In step S22 of the first figure, the mobile phone 2 can display the absolute time 11, the adjusted relative time 13 and the time of the time 14 by the display unit 22 thereon.

Please refer to the sixth figure, which is a schematic diagram of the time display of an electronic watch. The electronic device can also be implemented by an electronic watch 3, and as in the form of the mobile phone 2 described above, the electronic watch 3 also needs to have an input unit 31 and a display unit 32. The input unit 31 is configured to accept an external operation of the user to control the time management program running inside the electronic watch 3, thereby setting the absolute time 11, the relative time 12, and the winning time 14. And after the setting is completed, the electronic watch 3 displays the absolute time 11, the adjusted relative time 13 and the time of the winning time 14 through the display unit 22 thereon.

It is worth mentioning that when the electronic device (such as the mobile phone 2 and the electronic watch 3) turns off the time management program running internally, the time on the electronic device can be in accordance with the normal 24 hours a day. The 60 minute rule runs. Therefore, even if the time management method of the present invention is applied, the electronic device can be used as a normal normal clock after the time management program is turned off, without causing any trouble to the user.

Next, please refer to the seventh figure, which is a schematic diagram of the time display of a pointer clock. In summary, even if there is a firmware inside to run the time management program, even a pointer clock 4 can be used to implement the method of the present invention. For example, the user can first set AM00:01-AM12:00 and PM12:01-PM00:00 on the clock through the input unit 41 of the analog clock 4. Next, the absolute time 11, the adjusted relative time 13 and the winning time 14 are set by the aforementioned procedure.

Taking the example shown in the third figure as an example, if the user sets the absolute time 11 to be 12 hours of PM07:00-AM07:00 (where 60 minutes per hour), the adjusted relative time 13 is AM07:00- 12 hours of PM07:00 (55 minutes per hour), and the time of the competition 14 is AM07:00~AM07:00 (55 minutes per hour), so the clock 4 will judge the number The position of "7" is a trigger position 42, that is, the display position of the 25th hour. When the hour hand 43 of the clock 4 reaches the trigger position 42 during the AM period, it means that the next time to run is the time for the fight 14, so the clock 4 will start from AM07:00, run for one hour, and in one At the end of the hourly operation, the hour hand 43 is returned to the position of AM07:00 again, and then the absolute time 11 is run.

In this embodiment, when the clock 4 is running the adjusted relative time 13, since the adjusted relative time 13 is only 55 minutes per hour, the time management program will control the clock 4 The travel speed of the hour hand 43 and the minute hand 44 (or even the second hand) is such that the minute hand 44 is wound one turn for 55 minutes to meet the adjusted relative time 13 requirement. Further, when the absolute time 11 and the acquisition time 14 are operated, the bypass speed of the hour hand 43 and the minute hand 44 is adjusted back to a speed of 60 minutes. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be limited.

As described above, the time management program is mainly an application stored in the electronic device, and the executable code of the electronic device is recorded, so when the electronic device is loaded into the application and executed, the electronic device The apparatus can perform the time management method of the present invention described above to manage and display the time of the electronic device. As described above, the time management method mainly includes: a) the input unit 21 or 31 accepts an external operation to set the absolute time 11 and the relative time 12, wherein the hours of the absolute time 11 and the relative time 12 are The number is added to 24 hours, and the absolute time 11 and the relative time 12 are 60 minutes per hour; b) the input unit 21 or 31 accepts an external operation to set the time 46, wherein the time 14 is , 60 minutes per hour; c) adjusting the number of minutes per hour in the relative time 12 according to the number of hours of the time 14 and generating the adjusted relative time 13 , wherein the absolute time 11 hours and the adjustment The number of hours after the relative time 13 is added to 24 hours, the adjusted relative time 13 is less than 60 minutes per hour, and the total number of minutes of the absolute time 11 and the total number of minutes of the adjusted relative time 13 and the fight The total number of minutes of time 14 is added to 1440 minutes; and d) the absolute time 11, the adjusted relative time 13 and the winning time 14 are sequentially displayed by the display unit 22 or 32.

The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes to the scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention. Bright.
