Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for displaying and guiding a progress pace for a lecturer (presenter) of a presentation at various seminars, seminars, briefing sessions, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a lecturer (presenter) of a presentation at various workshops, seminars, briefing sessions, etc. mainly makes a presentation without a manuscript (talking manuscript) for a lecture (presentation), the presentation is performed according to the contents of the presentation. Time allocation is performed at certain intervals, and the pace of the lecture is considered so that the determined time is effectively used.

[0003] There are various auxiliary media used for presentations such as OHP, slides, digitized data, and text. In the present invention, texts used mainly in workshops and the like are assumed and described, and time allocation is performed. Is based on the "page" of the text as the basis of
The same applies to other auxiliary media if, for example, one OHP sheet is replaced with a “page” to correspond.

Conventionally, the time (pace) distribution in these presentations often depends on the experience and intuition of the instructor (presenter). Even if the pace distribution is considered in units of "pages", the results are recorded. If the same person or another person tries to give the same presentation again, the past pace record is reflected and no feedback is given.

[0005]

Therefore, the pace of progress is different each time the same presentation is performed, and the pace is unstable due to the length of the predetermined time, for example, affecting the schedule after the listener without ending at the predetermined time. There was a problem that the actual results of the pace that seemed to be satisfactory in rehearsals etc. could not be complied with at the time of the actual production and failed.

In view of the above, the present invention provides means for guiding the progress of the implementation from the system side during the implementation of various presentations, and reflecting the actual pace at the time of the subsequent presentation. With the goal.

[0007]

The above-mentioned object is achieved by a presentation pace guide system configured as follows. That is, FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of the present invention. In a presentation pace guide system using a computer at the time of a presentation, basic allocating means for inputting scheduled start and end times and scheduled pages for each time period; Based on the data input by the basic allocating means, a pace allocating means for allocating scheduled start and end times for each page by a predetermined pace allocating method, and collecting actual pace data by timing by a timer during the presentation, By providing progress display means for displaying the scheduled time and the actual data distributed by the pace distributing means on a screen, and actual reflecting means for reflecting the actual pace data in the pace distribution, it is possible to estimate the progress pace during the presentation. Display the data on the screen to guide the presentation pace and store the actual pace data at that time Save and make it possible to feedback the next pace expected.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a system configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The presentation pace guide system of the present invention is roughly divided into those that operate as preparations before the presentation, those that operate during the implementation, and those that operate after the implementation.

[0010] For a device that operates as a preparation for a presentation, a scheduled assignment of a start and an end for each time period and a scheduled page are input from, for example, a keyboard display (input / output device) and the like, and are stored as a basic schedule file. Means and means for allocating the scheduled start and end times for each page based on the stored data of the basic schedule file by a predetermined pace allocation method, and storing this as a pace allocation actual file. .

[0011] In addition, for those operating during the presentation, the actual pace data for each page is collected by counting the time by a built-in timer, and the collected actual pace data is stored in the above-mentioned actual pace distribution actual file, and at the same time, the actual real time data of the progress pace is stored. There is a progress display means for displaying a screen on a display and guiding a progress pace.

[0012] Then, those which operate after the presentation is implemented include a result reflecting means for reflecting and incorporating the result data stored in the above-mentioned pace distribution actual result file into the next pace distribution schedule.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a series of the above-described operation procedures, taking a training course using text as an example.

In general, dozens of courses are prepared for each course by content, and the operation is developed according to the following procedure for each course.

That is, a time period is set as a basic time schedule for each course, and for each time period, the scheduled start and end times (or the scheduled start time and the number of hours), and the start and end of the text to be digested during this period. The ending page (or the starting page and the number of pages) is input from a keyboard or the like. The input contents are stored in a basic schedule file as shown in FIG. 3 (step 20).

Subsequently, a pace distribution actual file developed for each page as shown in FIG. 4, for example, is created from the contents of the basic schedule file (step 21), and the scheduled time distribution for each page of the file is determined by a predetermined method. Set. The contents of the setting are the scheduled start and end times for each page and the number of scheduled hours (step 22).

As a setting method in this case, for example, there is the following equal distribution of time or weight distribution. (1) Equal distribution method for evenly distributing time for each page A method for obtaining the time per page for each time period by the following formula, and for uniformly distributing the time for each page.

Time of each page = (scheduled end time−scheduled start time) ÷ (scheduled end page−scheduled start page + 1) (2) Weight distribution method in which time is weighted for each page Weight of each page for each time period Is input as an integer, and the time of each page is calculated and distributed by the following formula.

Weight 1 unit = (scheduled end time−scheduled start time) ÷ total weight of each page Time of each page = weight of each page × 1 unit of weight Note that this setting can be made by any method during the first presentation. However, it is also possible to change the setting after the next implementation.

The above procedure is performed as preparation for the presentation. Next, the operation of the actual presentation will be described.

At the time of giving a presentation, at the start or end of each page, for example, the instructor (presenter) makes a one-touch input of the function key 12 (F12) on the keyboard, and this is used as a trigger to measure the time by the built-in timer. Gather pace data.

The collected actual data is stored in the actual column of the above-mentioned pace distribution actual file, and at the same time, the actual data of the progress pace is displayed on the screen to guide the progress pace (step 23). The specific contents of the result column are the start and end times and the number of hours for each page.

Next, as an operation after the presentation, the actual data stored in the above-mentioned pace distribution actual result file is reflected and incorporated into the next pace distribution schedule. When the result obtained is obtained, the actual data of the progress pace at that time is set as it is in the schedule column on the pace distribution forecast actual file.

As the setting method, data of the start and end times for each page and the data of the actual time are respectively set to the scheduled start and end times,
And the scheduled time.

Further, the ratio of the time taken for each page may be obtained from the actual data applied to each page, and the ratio may be reused as the weight of each page. Therefore, even if the total time increases, the pace can be distributed by the weight distribution according to the performance.
Further, by managing the performance data for each level of the presenter and changing the reuse target for those who are accustomed to presentations and for beginners, more effective pace distribution is also possible.

Although not necessarily after the presentation, at any time other than the time of the presentation, the instructor (presenter) should input notes for each page as necessary,
This is stored in the pace distribution actual result file, and the information is displayed on the screen together with the actual result data display when the presentation is performed, so that the instructor can be alerted (step 24).

Whether the setting method (equal distribution or weight distribution) selected at the first time as the next pace distribution schedule or the method of reflecting and incorporating the above-mentioned actual pace data in the next time is adopted by the user. Can be selected.

Next, these will be described using specific data.

FIG. 5 shows a specific example of a basic schedule file which is the basis of each course created at the beginning of the present invention. There are one or two time periods in the morning and three to five time periods in the afternoon. This is a course example. Note that, since the same processing is performed for each time period, the following description focuses on the first time period.

In the first period of the course, the scheduled start time is 9
10:00, the scheduled end time is 10:40, during which time 6
This is a schedule for digesting the contents of which pages are set to be the start and end pages respectively.

The progress of the first time period based on the basic schedule data is developed for each page in the pace distribution actual file shown in FIG. 6. In this example, the scheduled time distribution for each page is described above. It is developed by the even distribution method.

That is, the time of each page = (scheduled end time−scheduled start time) ÷ (scheduled end page−scheduled start page + 1) = (10: 40-9: 40) ÷ (20-6 + 1) = 60 Min / 15 = 4 minutes, and the schedule column data of the scheduled start time, scheduled end time, and scheduled time for each page is created based on this value.

On the basis of this, the following conditions were developed for page 5 from page 6 to page 10 in FIG. 6 according to the weight distribution method, that is, page 6 was developed with weight 2 and page 7 to page 10 with each weight as 1. In the case, the total weight = 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 6 and weight 1 unit = (scheduled end time-scheduled start time) 合計 total weight per page = (10:00-9:40) ÷ 6 = 20 minutes ÷ 6 ≒ 3.3 minutes Time of each page = Weight of each page x 1 unit of weight 6 pages = 2 x 3.3 minutes = 6.6 minutes 7 to 10 pages = 1 x 3.3 minutes = 3.3 minutes / each page.

The result of the expansion by the equal distribution method in this example is 6
Starting at the scheduled start time of 9:44:00 on the page, the scheduled end time is 9:44:00 after 4 minutes, and the schedule is set in the same manner for each page thereafter. Hour 3
The scheduled start time is 6:00 seconds, and the scheduled end time is 10:40:00.

The above is the description of the operation performed as preparation for the presentation. Next, the operation will be specifically described when the presentation is performed.

In the specific example of the pace distribution actual file shown in FIG. 6, the above-mentioned schedule column data is obtained by one-touch operation at the start or end of each page and timing of a built-in timer.
1:47:00 Shows the state in which actual data has been collected and stored up to the present. The presentation progresses at a slightly too fast pace, with the actual result for the planned 4 minutes being 3 minutes 30 seconds on both pages 6 and 7. It indicates that

FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen displayed on a display or the like that a lecturer (presenter) can view in real time based on the contents of the pace distribution actual file.

On the screen, the current time by the built-in timer and the time period attribute of the course are displayed in the header, the progress page of the schedule and the result at the current time, and the cumulative progress pace are displayed. Display the approximate pace per page for equal distribution, and display a certain forecast difference with a visual icon (“↓” or “↑” in this example) on the screen to guide the instructor (presenter) Is shown.

The certain forecast difference is expressed by, for example, the ratio of the cumulative progress pace between the schedule and the actual result at the time of page switching.
%, The icon display number is increased, and when the schedule> accumulated progress pace of the result, the icon “↓” is used to instruct the pace down, and when the schedule <accumulated progress pace of the result, the icon is indicated by “↑”. This is an instruction to increase the pace.

In this specific example, the processing starts at 9:40, and starts at 9:40.
At the end of pages 6 and 7 at 47 minutes, the planned cumulative progress pace is 8 minutes, whereas the actual cumulative progress pace is 7 minutes, which is already 1 minute faster than planned. The situation.

Therefore, based on the ratio of the cumulative progress pace of the schedule and the result (8 minutes: 7 minutes), the pace down is instructed by displaying two icons “↓”, and in order to end the on-time, the approximate calculation per one page is equally distributed. The remaining 13 pages (15
(Page-2) to digest in 53 minutes (60-7 minutes)
The approximate pace of 4 minutes 05 seconds / page is displayed. Note that “F12” at the bottom represents a one-touch key for switching pages.

As described above, the progress pace result is stored in the above-mentioned pace distribution actual file at the time of the presentation, and such performance data is used as the pace distribution schedule data of the next presentation in the operation after the presentation described below. Feedback will be given.

That is, the actual data stored in the pace distribution actual file (start and end times for each page, and actual time)
In the schedule column of the file (starting and ending time for each page,
And scheduled time) as it is, and it is possible to reflect and incorporate the pace distribution result data that is satisfied as the result value into the next pace distribution schedule.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a screen for inputting a matter to be considered for the instructor (presenter). The schedule and the actual time for each page are indicated by a visual difference icon (schedule> actual). Is displayed along with “←”, if the schedule <actual, the result is “→”, and if the difference is within 5%, “•” is displayed. , And the input information is stored in the pace distribution actual result file.

Then, during the next and subsequent presentations, the notice information is displayed / referenced by the lecturer (presenter) together with the above-mentioned screen display information, and is fed back as a cautionary note or reflection point information on the lecture (presentation). And be used effectively.

Incidentally, the computer processing in the present invention is as follows.
The computer program is executed on the main storage device of the computer. The computer program is provided in an auxiliary storage device connected to the computer, a floppy (registered trademark) disk or a CD.
