2. Description of the Related Art The display screen of a small information device is smaller than the display screen of a general information device, and the number of dots of a dot matrix constituting the screen is limited. The schedule (schedule) information is composed of a date display such as a monthly or weekly calendar and a plurality of schedule displays related to each date. Because it is impossible to display all this information on a limited display screen of a small device,
In order to display it in an easy-to-read manner, some contrivance is required. For example, in JP-A-5-151164 "Calendar display device", information on the contents of a schedule and date information are alternately and periodically switched to the same display position to display information efficiently even in a small display area. Have to be able to. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-21198 “Electronic device” makes it possible to infer the contents of a schedule related to a date by modifying the calendar date according to the contents of the schedule, such as adding a specific color or highlighting the date. ing.

[0003]

In each of the above display methods, the contents of a schedule are displayed in a separated date display area of a calendar display. Therefore, the display area is small,
It was difficult to display schedules in long sentences and to display multiple schedules on the same day at the same time, and the schedule display was not easy to understand.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a schedule display that allows a user to easily confirm a schedule even in an information device having only a limited display screen.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a schedule display method according to the present invention is a method for displaying schedule information in an information device, wherein a display screen displays a specific period such as one month or one week. And the schedule information to be set in the schedule are displayed simultaneously, and the displayed schedule is displayed in association with the date on the calendar where the schedule is set by a line segment.

In one aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that, in the display of the schedule, a priority order of the schedule information to be displayed is determined from a current date and time, and a calendar and schedule information are displayed according to the priority order. In another aspect of the present invention, the display of the schedule information includes:
Preferably, a specific date is specified, the priority of the schedule information associated with the specified date is determined, and the calendar and the schedule information are displayed. In yet another aspect of the present invention,
The schedule is displayed by selecting one of a plurality of displayed schedules, determining a date associated with the schedule, determining a priority of schedule information to be displayed on the determined date, and determining a calendar and schedule information. Is preferably displayed.

According to the present invention, when the displayed schedule and the date on the calendar are linked by a line segment, the position of the end point on the date side of the line segment in the area representing the date on the calendar is set to the start of the schedule in one day. It is preferable that the display is changed according to time. Further, when the schedule extends over a plurality of days, the position of the end point on the date side of the line segment may be a start date or a completion date of the schedule. Further, when the schedule spans a plurality of days, the schedule may be connected to a line segment that associates the schedule with the date, and a line segment starting from the start date of the schedule and ending at the completion date may be displayed on the calendar. Good.

In order to solve the above problems, the schedule display device of the present invention sets a schedule on the same display screen as calendar display means for displaying a calendar for a specific period such as one month or one week on a display screen. Schedule display means for simultaneously displaying schedule information to be displayed in a display area different from the calendar display area, and displaying which date on the calendar is related to the displayed schedule by connecting the schedule and the date with a line segment. And an association display unit.

[0009] In one aspect of the present invention, the schedule display device further includes a priority determining means for determining a priority of the schedule information to be displayed in displaying the schedule, and a priority for displaying the calendar and the schedule information according to the priority. It is preferable to include a grade display means. The priority determining means may determine the priority of the schedule information to be displayed based on a current date and time.

[0010] In another aspect of the present invention, the schedule display device further includes date specifying means for specifying a specific date, and schedule searching means for searching for a schedule related to the specified date. Preferably, the priority determining means determines the priority of the retrieved schedule information based on the specified specific date.

[0011] In still another aspect of the present invention, the schedule display device further includes schedule selection means for selecting one of the plurality of displayed schedules, and determines a related date from the selected schedule. Date determining means, and a schedule searching means for searching for a schedule related to the determined date, wherein the priority determining means determines a priority order of the searched schedule information in the determined order. Preferably, the determination is based on a date.

When associating the displayed schedule with the date on the calendar by a line segment, the association display means determines the position of the end point on the date side of the line segment in the region representing the date on the calendar in the day. It is preferable to change the display according to the start time. Further, the association display means includes:
When the schedule extends over a plurality of days, the position of the end point on the date side of the line segment may be a start date or a completion date of the schedule. Further, when the schedule extends over a plurality of days, the association display unit connects the schedule to a line segment that associates the date with the schedule, and displays a line segment starting from the start date of the schedule and ending at the completion date on the calendar. May be displayed.

Further, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention may be a program for causing a computer to execute the above-described schedule display method, or a computer-readable recording medium on which the program is recorded.

The present invention will be described in further detail.
In the present invention, the screen is divided into a calendar display (1) and a calendar display (2), as shown in FIG. 1, for example. The schedule is represented by connecting a line (3) indicating the association between the above date and each schedule in the schedule display. By displaying in this manner, a large area for displaying the contents of the schedule can be taken, and detailed schedule display can be performed. In addition, since the schedules can be displayed side by side regardless of the date, a plurality of schedules with the same date can be displayed without difficulty.
In the case of the display according to the present invention, for example, the schedule for one month may not fit all on the screen.However, the information device is provided with a function for managing the current date and time, and the schedule for the present and the future is set. There is no practical problem if the priority is displayed. Also, if you want to check if there is a related event for a specific date or want to check the date on a calendar for a specific event, prepare a function to specify the date and a function to select the item of the event, If the date is specified, the item of the schedule after that date is displayed, and if the schedule is specified, the display of the calendar may be updated so that the date related to the specified schedule is displayed.

In the present invention, when the date on the calendar and the schedule are connected by a line segment, the position of the end point on the date side of the line segment is set in accordance with the schedule time. If the schedule is late, by arranging it on the side near the next day, the start of the schedule can be easily confirmed only by the position of the short point of the line segment without confirming the scheduled start time.
In the example of the schedule display shown in FIG. 1, the meeting on February 8 is supposed to start at 10 o'clock, so the end point of the line segment is on the left side of the date display, and the welcome party on 9th starts at 19:00, so the end point is It is located to the right.

Further, for example, if there is room in the calendar display area, a line segment having the start date and start time of the schedule and the completion date and time of the schedule as end points is displayed on the calendar, and the line segment and the schedule are displayed. By connecting the end point on the date side of the line segment connecting the date and the date, the schedule can be confirmed on the calendar as a period. In the schedule display example of FIG. 1, the schedule of the exhibition from February 10 to 12 is displayed on the calendar as a line segment indicating the scheduled period.

0).

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of the same schedule input / display device. This apparatus utilizes the functions of a computer, and as shown in the figure, an arithmetic unit (19), a memory (2)
0). The arithmetic unit (19) and the memory (20) are in charge of control, arithmetic processing, data registration and management of the entire apparatus. A "display device" (16) such as a liquid crystal display for displaying a schedule, a "coordinate input device" (17) such as a touch panel used to select a schedule or specify a date, and specifics of schedule information A "character input device" (18) such as a keyboard used for inputting various contents, and a "timer" (21) for generating a calendar and extracting the current date and time are connected.

The schedule display method according to the present invention will be described by describing five operations of the present apparatus: a schedule information registration procedure, a schedule display procedure, a schedule display procedure by specifying a date, a schedule display procedure by selecting a schedule, and an association information display procedure. Will be described.

First, the procedure for registering schedule information by the present apparatus will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When a user of the present apparatus registers a schedule, a new schedule is registered in a "schedule registration unit" (4). In the "schedule registering section" (4), an input screen for inputting a new schedule is displayed on the display device (16) << Step 5-1 >>, and the items necessary for the schedule information are input to the coordinate input device (17) and the text. <Step 5-2> to allow the user to input through the input device (18). In the case of the present embodiment, items necessary as schedule information are as shown in FIG. The schedule information basically includes a schedule start date and time, a schedule completion date and time, and schedule contents. When the schedule information is input, it is checked whether the information is only the date (Step 5-3). If the schedule is a date only ("YES"), the all-day flag is set to ON (step 5-4); otherwise ("NO"), the all-day flag is set to OFF << step 5 -5 >>. The input method of the schedule information and the type of the schedule information are not limited as long as the present invention can be realized, regardless of the contents of the present embodiment.
The entered schedule is registered in the "schedule information management unit" (8) constructed on the "memory" (20) << Step 5-
6 >>. The schedule information management unit (8) manages the schedule information by adding a management address to the schedule information. The management address is numerical data that does not overlap with other schedule data, and it is sufficient that a specific schedule corresponding to the numerical value can be called.

Next, the procedure for displaying the registered schedule information will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the schedule input / display device of the present embodiment, there are two types of display methods for displaying a schedule, a method of listing future schedules in order from the current date and time, and a method of listing schedules ahead from a date designated on the calendar. Has
The "display context management unit" (10) constructed on the "memory" (20) manages the current display method. In the initial state of the apparatus, a method of displaying a schedule from the current date and time is set. When displaying a schedule, first, the display context management unit (10) checks which display method is to be used << Step 6-1 >>. If the display method is to display the schedule from the current date and time (in the case of “YES” in step 6-1), the “date and time calculation unit” (11) is inquired of the current date and time, and the obtained date is obtained. The date and time are used as search keys for searching the schedule << Step 6
2 >>. If the display method is to display the schedule from the specified date (in the case of “NO” in step 6-1),
The specified date is extracted from the display context management unit (10) (the specification method of the specified date will be described later), and 0:00 a.m. of the specified date is used as a search key when searching for a schedule << Step 6-3 >>.
When the date / time for searching the schedule is determined, the date / time to be searched and the date / time of the schedule data registered in the “schedule information management unit” (8) are determined in the “schedule search unit” (9). The schedule that matches the date / time to be searched and the schedule that is later than the date / time to be searched are listed << Step 6-4 >>. The listed schedule information is prioritized in the "priority setting section" (12) from the one closest to the date / time used as the search key << Step 6-5 >>. The retrieved schedule data is displayed in the "schedule display section" (14) on the display device (16) in descending order of priority as shown in the schedule display (2) in FIG. 1 << Step 6-6 >>. At the same time, the calendar display unit (13) generates a calendar for a specific period including the date used for searching for the schedule, and simultaneously displays the calendar on the display device (16) as in the calendar display (1) of FIG. 6
-7 >>.

Next, in the "association information display section" (15), based on the coordinate position of the head of the schedule contents displayed on the schedule display section (14) and the display coordinates of the date displayed on the calendar display section (13), A line segment connecting the schedule and the corresponding date is generated, and is superimposed on the screen as shown by reference numeral (3) in FIG. 1 << Step 6-8 >>, and the display is completed. In FIG. 1, the schedule item and the date are connected by a solid straight line. However, as long as the correspondence between the schedule and the date can be confirmed, any type of line may be used. For example, the line may be displayed as a curve or the calendar date may be avoided. A format in which a broken line is displayed or a line segment is represented by a dotted line or the like may be used. If the date of the appointment item is outside the display range of the current calendar, no line segment is displayed.

Next, a procedure for designating a specific date and displaying a schedule registered after that date will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this description, it is assumed that the schedule has already been displayed on the screen for a specific date. Here, a specific date in the calendar displayed on the screen is selected by the “date specifying unit” (6). As a selection method, a method of designating coordinates on a calendar date with the coordinate input device (17) and obtaining the contents of the date from the coordinates can be considered. If it is desired to specify a date outside the display range of the currently displayed calendar, a function for switching the screen to the next display range may be provided separately. First, if necessary, the displayed calendar is moved << Step 7-1 >>, and the date of the displayed calendar is designated << Step 7-2 >>. Then, the specified date is extracted from the display context management unit (10), and
Time is used as a search key when searching for a schedule << Step 7-
3 >>. Subsequent procedures are the same as the above-described schedule display procedure, and the procedures surrounded by the process A in FIG. 6 are executed to obtain a schedule screen on a designated date.

Next, a procedure for displaying a schedule by selecting a schedule will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. In the schedule selection section (5) of FIG. 2, specific schedule information is selected from the schedule information items displayed on the screen << Step 8-
1 >>. Specifically, the user designates a position at which the schedule to be selected is displayed by the "coordinate input device" (17), and selects the designated schedule information from the coordinates. After selecting event information,
The date and time written in the schedule information are extracted and used as a search key for schedule search << Step 8-2 >>. The procedure after the search of the schedule is the same as the display procedure by the date designation shown in the process A of FIG.

Finally, the procedure for displaying the association information will be described. The association information display unit (15) changes the position of the end point on the calendar of the displayed line segment in accordance with the time of the schedule information to be associated, or displays the line segment indicating the period when the schedule has a period. Has a function to display on the calendar. This function makes it possible to check the schedule more easily and quickly. The operation of the association display will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, it is confirmed whether or not all the plurality of schedules displayed in the schedule display area of the screen have been displayed << Step 9-1 >>. If the display is not completed ("NO"), the process proceeds to step 9-2. In step 9-2, it is confirmed whether or not the schedule to be displayed is included in the currently displayed calendar, that is, whether or not the association information needs to be displayed (step 9-2). If the schedule execution time is out of the range of the currently displayed calendar and need not be displayed ("NO"), the process proceeds to the next schedule display << Step 9-8 >>. When it is necessary to display the association information (in the case of “YES”), a line segment indicating the scheduled period (“period display line”) for the next association schedule
Call. ) Is confirmed (Step 9-3). In this step 9-3, it is checked whether or not the schedule period can be represented as a line segment on the calendar, such as when the schedule has a period of several days, and if it can be displayed as a line segment ("YES"). ")), Proceed to step 9-4. In step 9-4, a line segment representing the period is generated on the calendar from the start date, start time, completion date, and completion time of the schedule information, and is displayed on the calendar. For example, a line (reference number 3) representing the period of the schedule drawn on the 10th to 12th days of the calendar of FIG.
Indicated by 1. ) Is a period display line. Next, a line segment connecting the schedule and the period display line (indicated by reference numeral (3), and "related display line")
Call. ) Is calculated, the position on the line of the period display line (31) is calculated << Step 9-6 >>, and the position on the schedule display side, which is the other end point, is calculated to generate the related display line (3). Display << Step 9-7 >>. If the period display line (3
1) is not necessary (“N” in step 9-3)
In the case of "O"), the process proceeds from step 9-3 to step 9-5, in which only the position of the end point of the related display line (3) on the calendar side is calculated, and in step 9-6, generation of the related display line (3) is performed.
Display. For example, the position of the end point of the related display line (3) calculated in step 9-5 is specified to be a position close to the day before the calendar date when the schedule is close to morning, and to a position close to the next day if the schedule is close to night. To be specified. This makes it possible to easily grasp the time, such as whether the schedule is in the morning or afternoon, depending on the position of the end point of the related display line (3). When the display of the related display line is completed, the display schedule is advanced to the next step << Step 9-8 >>, and the process returns to the first step << Step 9-1 >>. If the display is completed in step 9-1 ("YES"), the process is completed.

As an example, FIG. 10 shows a display example on a portable information terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the procedure for drawing the period display line and the related display line will be described in more detail.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a procedure for drawing a period display line. In the drawing of the period display line, first, from the date of the schedule data, information on the position, width, and height of the rectangular area is obtained for the corresponding day on the calendar display << Step 11-1 >>. This means that when drawing the calendar,
Since the position of the rectangular area of each date is calculated, the same function may be used. Next, a scale for dividing the area for one day on the calendar display into 24 hours at equal intervals is set << Step 11-2 >>. The dividing direction is a direction in which dates are continuous. FIG. 12 shows a division scale (32) and a period display line (31) when there is a schedule from 9:00 am to 12:00 on the eighth day of the calendar. In addition,
It is not always necessary to divide the scale into 24 hours. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, considering the scale (32) excluding late night and early morning, the position of the daytime schedule can be specified in more detail. In this case, processing is performed with the same coordinates from 0:00 am to 6:00 am and from 6:00 pm to 12:00 pm. Next, the start time and the end time of the schedule are assigned to the set scale, and the position indicated by each time on the rectangular area of the date is determined << Step 11-3 >>.
Specifically, when the time is equally divided in the X-axis direction by 24 hours in the coordinate system of the lower left origin, if the origin of the rectangle is (X0, Y0), the X coordinate position of the time T is X0 + (W / 24) * T It turns out that. As for the Y coordinate, a height at which the position is easily viewed on the rectangular area is determined by a fixed value. An actual rectangular area can have only a finite integer value, for example, a width of 20 dots. Therefore, if the calendar display area is narrow or the start time and end time of the schedule are close, the two coordinate positions may be the same. In step 11-4, it is determined whether the two coordinates are the same,
If they are the same (in the case of "YES"), the process ends without displaying the period display line. Note that the coordinates indicating the schedule determined here are used as the end points of the next relationship display line.
When the two coordinates are not the same (in the case of "NO"), a division process of the period display line is performed in step 11-5. If the start date and end date of the schedule are far apart and span a week, it is necessary to divide the line in the calendar of one month display as shown in FIG. In the division processing, first, the part of the displayed calendar where the continuity is broken, in the case of the one-month display calendar as shown in FIG.
The hour and the date and time of 0:00 on the first day of the week are listed for each week. Then, it is checked whether the date and time listed overlap the period of the schedule to be displayed. If they overlap, they are divided into two period display lines: the start time of the schedule, 24:00 on the last day of the week, 0:00 on the first day of the week, and the end time of the schedule. Then, the two divided periods are checked to see if they overlap with other dates and times listed in the same manner, and if they overlap, further division is performed. Finally, the divided line is drawn on the calendar, and the process ends (step 11-6).

Next, the procedure for drawing the related display line will be described. The coordinates of the end position of the related display line on the schedule information side are obtained from a text box of a character string expressing one piece of schedule information (for example, see the text box indicated by reference numeral 33 in FIG. 1). Specifically, in the X-axis direction, a fixed value margin is set in the negative direction so that the end point from the left end of the target text box does not overlap the head of the character string, and the height of the text box is set in the Y-axis direction. Half of the length. Next, how to determine the end point position of the related display line on the calendar side will be described. If the coordinates become one point in the processing of the period display line, the coordinates are used as they are. If the coordinates constitute one straight line with two points, or if the coordinates are composed of a plurality of lines over a week, the coordinates indicating the start time of the schedule are adopted. However, the end point position on the calendar side may basically be anywhere on the period display line. If the display can be displayed more easily, coordinates indicating the end time of the schedule or coordinates in the middle of the period display line may be selected. When the two points constituting the straight line are determined, they are connected by a straight line, and the processing is terminated. When two points are connected by a line, they may be connected not only by a straight line but also by a curve such as by an arc having a fixed curvature. Further, depending on the layout of the calendar and the schedule display, it is also possible to provide a nodal point between two points so that the information is easy to see and display the information with a broken line.

As described above, in the present invention, the calendar,
By displaying the list of appointments and the line connecting the date and the appointment on the calendar at the same time, it is easy to understand the details of the appointment on the screen, even if the details of the appointment cannot be displayed sufficiently by describing each appointment in the calendar It is possible to do. By checking the position of the end point of the line connecting the date and the event on the calendar and the line indicating the period of the event displayed on the calendar, you can simplify the event without checking the detailed information of the event. Time can be checked quickly.

Although the present embodiment has been described with reference to a schedule display in which a calendar and schedule items are arranged on the left and right in a horizontally long rectangular area as shown in FIG. 1, in the present invention, schedule items and dates are related by line segments. If so, the arrangement and the shape of the display area may be any. In this embodiment, the calendar display is described only for the month display. However, the same display method can be applied to the calendar display for the year, the week, and the day.

[0031]

As described above, according to the present invention, when displaying a schedule, a calendar and a list of appointments are displayed in separate areas, and the date and the appointment of the calendar are connected by a line segment, whereby the schedule is displayed in the calendar. Detailed schedule contents that cannot be displayed sufficiently by the method of describing items,
You can easily check it on the screen. Even when the schedule is displayed on a device having a small display area such as a small information device, the schedule can be easily confirmed.

Further, by confirming the position of the end point of the line segment connecting the date and the schedule of the calendar and the line segment representing the period of the schedule displayed on the calendar, detailed information of the schedule can be confirmed. , You can quickly check the simple time of the event.
