Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an information processing device that can create and store documents, etc., and in particular can manage by when a document, etc. that is being created must be completed. The present invention relates to an information processing device.

[Description of the prior art and its problems] Conventionally, in information processing devices that create documents, etc., when creating a document, etc., deadline management, in which the document, etc. must be completed, has been implemented by the creator of the document, etc. I had to keep track of the progress of the creation and manage it myself.

However, in the case of an information processing device where the creator manages deadlines himself as described above, if there are a large number of documents that need to be created, it is difficult to complete them in just one time. , the document creation process had to be repeated several times, and it was sometimes difficult to keep track of the progress of the document creation. For this reason, there was a risk that if there were many documents that needed to be prepared, they would be inadvertently forgotten and the deadline would be missed.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to avoid forcing the creator to manage unreasonable documents even when a large number of documents of various types are created. An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing device that can reliably manage deadlines without any problems.

In order to achieve this object, an information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes: an input means for inputting information; a storage means for storing information input by the input means; and information stored in the storage means. a display means for displaying the information stored in the creation deadline time information storage means; a creation deadline time information storage means for storing creation deadline time information regarding the information stored in the storage means; a clock means for measuring time; The control means includes a control means for displaying a warning on the display means when the time indicated by the creation deadline time information and the time measured by the time measurement means match.

[Example] Hereinafter, an information processing apparatus according to an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a CPU which is a central processing unit that controls the entire information processing device; 2 is a ROM in which a deadline management processing program and other control data, which will be described later in the present invention, are stored;
(read-only memory), 3 is RAM (random access memory) for storing incoming document data, etc., 4 is a Meda keyboard for inputting document data, etc. with kana character keys, English character keys, and created documents. It has a save key etc. that instructs to save etc. 5 is a CRT display device stored in the RAM 3, for example, for displaying document data as a document; 6 is an external storage device for temporarily storing document data in the process of being created, and is composed of a floppy disk device, etc. There is. Reference numeral 7 represents a speaker that notifies that the deadline has come, and reference numeral 8 represents a system bus that connects each of the above components.

Next, the deadline management process will be explained based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when a creator operates the save key to save a document in progress to an external storage device, for example, as shown in Fig. 2(a).
Start the process shown below. In step S1, guidance is displayed on the CRT display device as to whether the resave is a new save, and in step S1
Specify one in 2. In step S3, it is determined whether to save as a new file or to re-save it, and if it is a new save, the process advances to step S4, where guidance is displayed prompting the user to input the document name of the document to be saved, and in step S5, the input is performed, and the process proceeds to step S6. . When restoring is specified in step S3, the process directly advances to step S6. In step S6, guidance is displayed as to whether the document is complete or needs to be continued, and the creator specifies completion or continuation in step S7. If you want to continue, step S8 to step S9
for guidance on entering a deadline.

When a deadline is input in step SIO, an alarm function is set in step Sll, and a timer is set one day before the deadline in step S12. This completes setting the alarm function.

Next, the operation processing of the alarm function will be explained. The alarm function operates in step 31 when an interrupt of the timer set in step S15 shown in FIG. 2(b) occurs.
Proceeding to step 6, the document name and the fact that the deadline is approaching are unconditionally displayed on the screen being operated at that time. Furthermore, in step S17, a warning is given by outputting music or audio. In step S18, the operator performs a confirmation operation. This is done, for example, by pressing a specific confirmation key.

When the confirmation is made in step 318, the screen is returned to its original state in step S19, the output of music and audio is stopped, and the process ends.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the information processing apparatus according to the present invention, deadline management can be easily and reliably performed even when there are a large number of documents etc. that must be processed.
