Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a schedule management system, a control method thereof, and a control program. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, for example, workers in a workplace are required to perform a given task while exercising to maintain their health. Related technology is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a worker information detection system that determines a warning state when a cumulative load calculated from worker load information exceeds a threshold value. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-84911 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the system disclosed in Patent Document 1 only issues a warning when there is a risk that a worker (user) is working too much, and does not assign work content to the worker that allows the worker to get an appropriate amount of exercise. Therefore, the system disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that it cannot propose a work plan that allows a worker to perform the assigned work and exercise to maintain health at the same time.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above background, and aims to provide a schedule management system, a control method thereof, and a control program capable of proposing a work plan that enables a user to simultaneously perform a given task and exercise to maintain health. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A schedule management system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an acquisition unit that acquires information on a plurality of tasks and information on a target amount of exercise per predetermined period of a first user, a task allocation unit that refers to a database in which information on the amount of exercise per unit time of each task is registered, extracts one or more tasks from the plurality of tasks that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise per predetermined period of the first user, and assigns the extracted tasks to the first user as tasks per predetermined period, and an output unit that outputs information on the tasks assigned to the first user by the task allocation unit. This schedule management system can assign tasks to a user that will provide an appropriate amount of exercise for the user. In other words, this schedule management system can propose a task plan that allows the user to perform a given task and exercise to maintain health at the same time.

[0008] The acquisition unit may further acquire information regarding specified work content to be performed by the first user per specified period, and the work allocation unit may refer to the database to extract from the plurality of work contents one or more work contents, including the specified work content, that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to a target amount of exercise for the first user per specified period, and assign the extracted work contents to the first user as work content per specified period.

[0009] The acquisition unit may further acquire information regarding work content that is determined to be impossible to perform by the first user, and the work allocation unit may refer to the database to extract from the plurality of work contents, excluding the work content that is determined to be impossible to perform, one or more work contents that result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise per specified period of the first user, and assign the work contents to the first user as work content per specified period.

[0010] The acquisition unit may acquire, as feedback information, information on the actual amount of exercise of the first user as a result of the first user performing work content assigned to the first user, and the work allocation unit may further refer to the feedback information to extract from the multiple work contents one or more work contents that result in an amount of exercise corresponding to a target amount of exercise for the first user per specified period, and assign them to the first user as work content per specified period.

[0011] The information on the first user's actual amount of exercise may be at least any one of the first user's heart rate, pulse, number of steps, calories burned, and the amount of change in the first user's weight measured by a weight scale, which are acquired by a wearable device worn by the first user.

[0012] The target amount of exercise may be a target calorie consumption of the first user.

[0013] The target exercise amount may be determined based on a difference between a target body weight and a current body weight of the first user.

[0014] The target exercise amount may be determined based on a difference between a target body fat percentage and a current body fat percentage of the first user.

[0015] The target exercise amount may be determined based on a difference between a target body type and a current body type of the first user.

[0016] The output unit may cause a monitor to display information on a task content assigned to the first user.

[0017] The multiple work contents are assigned to a specified group to which multiple users including the first user belong, and the acquisition unit acquires information regarding a target amount of exercise per specified period for each of the multiple users belonging to the specified group, and the work allocation unit refers to the database to extract, for each of the multiple work contents, one or more work contents that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the user's target amount of exercise per specified period, and assigns them as work contents for the specified period, and the output unit outputs information regarding the work contents assigned to each of the users by the work allocation unit.

[0018] The work allocation unit may refer to the database, extract from the plurality of work contents, for each of the users, one or more work contents that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to a ratio of the target exercise amounts of each of the plurality of users, and assign them as work contents for the specified period.

[0019] The plurality of work contents may be work contents to be performed by the predetermined group per the predetermined period, and the work allocation unit may allocate all of the plurality of work contents to the plurality of users.

[0020] A control method of a schedule management system according to an embodiment of the present invention obtains information on a plurality of task contents and information on a target amount of exercise per predetermined period of a first user, refers to a database in which information on the amount of exercise per unit time of each task content is stored, extracts one or more task contents from the plurality of task contents that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise per predetermined period of the first user, assigns the one or more extracted task contents to the first user as task contents per predetermined period, and outputs information on the task contents assigned to the first user. This control method of a schedule management system can assign task contents to a user that will provide an appropriate amount of exercise for the user. In other words, this control method of a schedule management system can propose an activity plan that allows the user to perform a given task and exercise to maintain health at the same time.

[0021] A control program according to an embodiment of the present invention causes a computer to execute the following processes: acquiring information on a plurality of tasks and information on a target amount of exercise per predetermined period of a first user; extracting one or more tasks from the plurality of tasks, the amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise per predetermined period of the first user, by referring to a database storing information on the amount of exercise per unit time of each task; assigning the one or more extracted tasks to the first user as tasks per predetermined period; and outputting information on the tasks assigned to the first user. This control program can assign tasks to a user that will provide an appropriate amount of exercise for the user. In other words, this control program can propose an activity plan that allows the user to perform a given task and exercise for maintaining health at the same time. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a schedule management system, a control method thereof, and a control program capable of proposing a work plan that enables a user to simultaneously perform a given task and exercise to maintain health.

[0024] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the invention according to the claims is not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, not all of the configurations described in the embodiments are necessarily essential as means for solving the problems. For clarity of explanation, the following description and drawings are omitted and simplified as appropriate. In each drawing, the same elements are given the same reference numerals, and repeated explanations are omitted as necessary.

[0025] <Embodiment 1> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a schedule management system 1 according to a first embodiment. The schedule management system 1 refers to a database, extracts one or more work contents from a plurality of work contents, which will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the user's target amount of exercise per predetermined period, and assigns the work contents to the user as work contents per predetermined period. In this way, the schedule management system 1 can assign work contents to the user that will allow the user to obtain an appropriate amount of exercise. In other words, the schedule management system 1 can propose an activity plan that allows the user to perform a given task and exercise to maintain health at the same time. A specific description will be given below.

[0026] 1, the schedule management system 1 includes a schedule management device 10, a user terminal 20, a communication terminal 30, a database 40, and a network 50. The schedule management device 10 can also be called a schedule management system. The schedule management device 10, the user terminal 20, the communication terminal 30, and the database 40 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via a wired or wireless network 50.

[0027] The user terminal 20 is a communication-enabled terminal owned by the user U1 or temporarily assigned to the user U1, and is, for example, a PC (Personal Computer) terminal, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, or a dedicated communication terminal prepared for this system. For example, the user U1 inputs information on the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period to the user terminal 20 by operating the operation screen or keyboard of the user terminal 20. The user terminal 20 accepts the information on the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period input by the operation of the user U1, and transmits it to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50.

[0028] Here, the information on the target amount of exercise per predetermined period of the user U1 refers to the amount of exercise that the user U1 wants to achieve per predetermined period. The predetermined period can be set arbitrarily, for example, one week, one month, or three months. For example, the target amount of exercise per predetermined period of the user U1 is represented by the target calorie consumption per predetermined period of the user U1, but is not limited thereto, and may be represented by the target weight loss amount (difference between the current weight and the target weight), the target amount of reduction in body fat percentage (difference between the current body fat percentage and the target body fat percentage), or the target degree of change in body shape (degree of change in appearance), or the like. Alternatively, the user terminal 20 or the schedule management device 10 or the like may derive the target calorie consumption from the target amount of weight loss, the target amount of reduction in body fat percentage, or the target degree of change in body shape, or the like. In addition, in deriving the target calorie consumption, it is preferable to further refer to at least any of information on the age, sex, height, and weight of the user U1. This makes it possible to derive a more reliable target calorie consumption.

[0029] The user terminal 20 may receive not only information on the target amount of exercise per predetermined period of the user U1, but also information on the content of a predetermined task to be performed by the user U1 per predetermined period and information on the content of a task determined to be impossible by the user U1, and transmit the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50. The user terminal 20 may further receive at least any of the information on the age, sex, height, and weight of the user U1 described above, and transmit the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50.

[0030] Here, the information on the predetermined work content to be performed by user U1 per predetermined period refers to meetings that require user U1's participation, checking emails sent to user U1, etc. Also, the information on the work content that user U1 has determined to be unable to perform refers to work that user U1 is not qualified to perform (for example, delivery work by user U1 who does not have a driver's license) or work that is difficult to perform due to injury, etc.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the user terminal 20 receives information regarding the target amount of exercise for a predetermined period of time of the user U1 and transmits the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a communication terminal other than the user terminal 20, such as a communication terminal 30 described later, may receive information regarding the target amount of exercise for a predetermined period of time of the user U1 and transmit the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50.

[0032] The communication terminal 30 is a communicable terminal owned by the administrator X1 or temporarily assigned to the administrator X1, and is, for example, a PC terminal, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, or a dedicated communication terminal prepared for this system. For example, the administrator X1 inputs information on a plurality of work contents assigned to a predetermined group G1 to which the user U1 belongs, to the communication terminal 30 by operating the operation screen or keyboard of the communication terminal 30. The communication terminal 30 accepts the information on the plurality of work contents assigned to the predetermined group G1 input by the operation of the administrator X1, and transmits it to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50.

[0033] Here, the administrator X1 is, for example, a leader of a predetermined group G1 to which the user U1 belongs, or a person in charge of assigning tasks to members of the predetermined group G1, etc. The predetermined group G1 is, for example, a department of the workplace to which the user U1 belongs.

[0034] In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the multiple work contents assigned to the specified group G1 are work contents that should be performed by the specified group G1 per specified period, but this is not limited to this.

[0035] Also, in the present embodiment, a case has been described in which the communication terminal 30 receives information on a plurality of work contents assigned to the predetermined group G1 and transmits it to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50, but this is not limited to this. For example, a communication terminal other than the communication terminal 30, such as the user terminal 20, may receive information on a plurality of work contents assigned to the predetermined group G1 and transmit it to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50. Furthermore, the plurality of work contents transmitted to the schedule management device 10 is not limited to being assigned to the predetermined group G1.

[0036] The schedule management device 10 refers to a database 40 in which information on the amount of exercise (calories burned, etc.) per unit time for each task is registered, and extracts one or more tasks from the multiple tasks assigned to the group G1 to which the user U1 belongs that result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the user U1's target amount of exercise per specified period, and assigns the extracted tasks to the user U1 as tasks per specified period.

[0037] 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the schedule management device 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the schedule management device 10 includes at least an acquisition unit 11, a work allocation unit 12, and an output unit 13.

[0038] The acquisition unit 11 first acquires information on a plurality of work contents assigned to a predetermined group G1 transmitted from the communication terminal 30, etc. The acquisition unit 11 further acquires information on a target amount of exercise of the user U1 per predetermined period transmitted from the user terminal 20, etc.

[0039] The work allocation unit 12 refers to the database 40, and extracts one or more work contents from the multiple work contents assigned to the specified group G1, which will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per specified period, and assigns them to the user U1 as work contents per specified period.

[0040] The output unit 13 outputs information related to the work content assigned to the user U1. The information output from the output unit 13 is transferred to the user terminal 20 via the network 50, for example, and displayed on the monitor of the user terminal 20. This allows the user U1 to know the work content assigned to him / her.

[0041] When the schedule management device 10 acquires information on a predetermined task to be performed by the user U1 in a predetermined period, the schedule management device 10 extracts one or more tasks, including the predetermined task, that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 in a predetermined period, and assigns the tasks to the user U1 as the tasks for the predetermined period. When the schedule management device 10 acquires information on a task that is determined to be infeasible by the user U1, the schedule management device 10 extracts one or more tasks, excluding the task determined to be infeasible, that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 in a predetermined period, and assigns the tasks to the user U1 as the tasks for the predetermined period.

[0042] In this way, the schedule management system 1 according to the present embodiment refers to the database 40, extracts one or more tasks that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period from the multiple tasks assigned to the predetermined group G1, and assigns them to the user U1 as tasks per predetermined period. As a result, the schedule management system 1 according to the present embodiment can assign tasks to the user U1 that will allow the user U1 to obtain an appropriate amount of exercise. In other words, the schedule management system 1 according to the present embodiment can propose an activity plan that allows the user U1 to both execute the assigned task and exercise to maintain health.

[0043] In the schedule management device 10, the acquisition unit 11 may further acquire, as feedback information, information on the actual amount of exercise performed by the user U1 as a result of performing the work content assigned to the user U1. For example, the acquisition unit 11 may acquire, as feedback information, information on the heart rate, pulse, number of steps, or calories burned of the user U1 measured by a wearable device (not shown) worn by the user U1, or information on the amount of change in weight of the user U1 measured by a weight scale (not shown). In this case, the task allocation unit 12 refers to not only the database 40 but also the feedback information to extract one or more task contents that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period. This allows the task allocation unit 12 to more accurately extract one or more task contents that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period. The information registered in the database 40 may be updated by the feedback information.

[0044] (Schedule Management System 1 Operation) Next, the operation of schedule management system 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 6. Fig. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of schedule management system 1. Fig. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the amount of exercise per unit time for each task content registered in database 40. Fig. 5 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an example of the operation of schedule management system 1. Fig. 6 is a conceptual diagram for explaining another example of the operation of schedule management system 1. In the examples of Figs. 4 to 6, calories burned are used as an example of the amount of exercise.

[0045] Referring to FIG. 4, database 40 stores information such as the calorie burned per hour for meetings of 50 kcal, the calorie burned per hour for document preparation of 50 kcal, the calorie burned per hour for visiting clients of 150 kcal, the calorie burned per hour for delivery of 150 kcal, the calorie burned per hour for packing of 200 kcal, the calorie burned per hour for sorting products of 200 kcal, the calorie burned per hour for inventory of 250 kcal, etc.

[0046] First, the communication terminal 30 receives information on a plurality of work contents assigned to a predetermined group G1, which is input by an operation of the manager X1, and transmits the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50.

[0047] In the example of Figure 5, the details of the multiple tasks assigned to the specified group G1 are meetings M1 to M9 (1 hour each), visit to company C1 (1 hour), visit to company C2 (1 hour), visit to company C3 (2 hours), delivery to area A1 (1 hour), delivery to area A2 (1 hour), delivery to area A3 (3 hours), and packing P1 to P9 (1 hour each).

[0048] Furthermore, the user terminal 20 accepts information on the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period, which is input by the user U1 through an operation, and transmits the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50.

[0049] In the example of FIG. 5, the predetermined period is set to one week, and the target calorie consumption, which is the target amount of exercise per week for user U1, is set to 1100 kcal.

[0050] In the schedule management device 10, the acquisition unit 11 first acquires information on a plurality of work contents assigned to a predetermined group G1 transmitted from the communication terminal 30 or the like (step S101). The acquisition unit 11 further acquires information on a target amount of exercise of the user U1 per predetermined period transmitted from the user terminal 20 or the like (step S102).

[0051] Thereafter, in the schedule management device 10, the task allocation unit 12 refers to the database 40 and extracts one or more task contents that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period from the multiple task contents assigned to the predetermined group G1 (step S103).Then, the task allocation unit 12 assigns the one or more extracted task contents to the user U1 as task contents per predetermined period (step S104).

[0052] In the example of Fig. 5, the schedule management device 10 extracts tasks of attending meetings M1 to M3, visiting company C1, delivering to district A1, and packing P1 to P3, and assigns them to user U1 as tasks per week so that the calorie consumption of user U1 per week is equal to or close to the target calorie consumption. At this time, referring to the database 40 shown in Fig. 4, the total calorie consumption of the tasks assigned to user U1 is 1050 kcal, which is close to the target calorie consumption of user U1 of 1100 kcal.

[0053] Thereafter, the output unit 13 outputs information regarding the work content assigned to the user U1 (step S105). The information output from the output unit 13 is transferred to the user terminal 20 via the network 50, for example, and displayed on the monitor of the user terminal 20. This allows the user U1 to know the work content assigned to him / her.

[0054] As already explained, the user terminal 20 may receive not only information regarding the target amount of exercise per predetermined period of the user U1, but also information regarding the content of a predetermined task to be performed by the user U1 per predetermined period and information regarding the content of a task determined to be impossible for the user U1 to perform, and transmit the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50. A brief explanation will be given below with reference to FIG. 6.

[0055] In the example of FIG. 6, the target calorie consumption, which is the target amount of exercise per week for user U1, is set to 1100 kcal. In addition, attendance at meetings M4 to M6 is set as the work content that user U1 must perform. Furthermore, delivery is set as the work content that user U1 cannot perform. In this case, the schedule management device 10 extracts the work content of attendance at meetings M4 to M6, visiting company C1, visiting company C2, and packing P1 to P3, taking into consideration the set conditions, so that the calorie consumption per week of user U1 is equal to or close to the target calorie consumption, and assigns them to user U1 as the work content per week. That is, the schedule management device 10 assigns attendance at meetings M4 to M6 instead of attendance at meetings M1 to M3, and visiting company C2 instead of delivery to A1 district to user U1. At this time, referring to the database 40 shown in FIG. 4, the total calorie consumption of the tasks assigned to the user U1 is 1050 kcal, which is close to the target calorie consumption of the user U1, 1100 kcal.

[0056] In this way, the schedule management system 1 according to the present embodiment refers to the database 40, extracts one or more tasks that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period from the multiple tasks assigned to the predetermined group G1, and assigns them to the user U1 as tasks per predetermined period. As a result, the schedule management system 1 according to the present embodiment can assign tasks to the user U1 that will allow the user U1 to obtain an appropriate amount of exercise. In other words, the schedule management system 1 according to the present embodiment can propose an activity plan that allows the user U1 to both execute the assigned task and exercise to maintain health.

[0057] (Modification of Schedule Management System 1) In the present embodiment, the schedule management device 10 extracts one or more work contents that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period from a plurality of work contents assigned to the predetermined group G1, and assigns the work contents to the user U1 as the work contents per predetermined period, but the present invention is not limited to this. The schedule management device 10 may also extract one or more work contents that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise for the predetermined period for users other than the user U1 who belongs to the predetermined group G1, and assign the work contents as the work contents per predetermined period. A brief description will be given below with reference to Figs. 7 to 9.

[0058] Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing a modified example of the schedule management system 1 as a schedule management system 1a. The schedule management system 1a includes a schedule management device 10, three user terminals 20, a communication terminal 30, a database 40, and a network 50. Hereinafter, the three user terminals 20 are referred to as user terminals 20_1 to 20_3. Note that, although three user terminals 20 are provided in the example of Fig. 7, the number is not limited to three, and any number of user terminals 20 greater than or equal to two may be provided.

[0059] The user terminals 20_1 to 20_3 are terminals that are owned by the users U1 to U3 or that are temporarily assigned to the users U1 to U3 and are capable of communication. The user terminal 20_1 accepts information about the target amount of exercise for the user U1 per predetermined period input by the operation of the user U1, and transmits the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50. The user terminal 20_2 accepts information about the target amount of exercise for the user U2 per predetermined period input by the operation of the user U2, and transmits the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50. The user terminal 20_3 accepts information about the target amount of exercise for the user U3 per predetermined period input by the operation of the user U3, and transmits the information to the schedule management device 10 via the network 50.

[0060] The schedule management device 10 refers to the database 40, and extracts one or more work contents from the multiple work contents assigned to the specified group G1 for each user U1 to U3, which will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise per specified period, and assigns them as work contents per specified period.

[0061] More specifically, in the schedule management device 10, the acquisition unit 11 first acquires information on a plurality of work contents assigned to a predetermined group G1 transmitted from the communication terminal 30 etc. The acquisition unit 11 further acquires information on a target exercise amount per predetermined period of each of the users U1 to U3 transmitted from the user terminals 20_1 to 20_3.

[0062] Thereafter, in the schedule management device 10, the work allocation unit 12 refers to the database 40, and extracts one or more work contents from the multiple work contents assigned to the specified group G1 for each user U1 to U3 that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise per specified period, and assigns them as work contents per specified period.

[0063] Here, the task allocation unit 12 may allocate all of the tasks assigned to the predetermined group G1 to the users U1 to U3. If the total amount of exercise of the tasks assigned to the predetermined group G1 is less than the total target amount of exercise of the users U1 to U3, the task allocation unit 12 may extract one or more tasks that provide an amount of exercise according to the ratio of the target amount of exercise of each of the users U1 to U3, and allocate them as tasks for a predetermined period.

[0064] The output unit 13 outputs information related to the work content assigned to each of the users U1 to U3. The information output from the output unit 13 is transferred to the user terminals 20_1 to 20_3 via the network 50, for example, and displayed on a monitor. This allows each of the users U1 to U3 to know the work content assigned to them.

[0065] (An example of the operation of the schedule management system 1a) Fig. 8 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an example of the operation of the schedule management system 1a. In the example of Fig. 8, the details of the multiple tasks assigned to the predetermined group G1 are meetings M1 to M9 (1 hour each), visit to company C1 (1 hour), visit to company C2 (1 hour), visit to company C3 (2 hours), delivery to area A1 (1 hour), delivery to area A2 (1 hour), delivery to area A3 (3 hours), and packing P1 to P9 (1 hour each).

[0066] In the example of Fig. 8, the predetermined period is set to one week for each user. The target calorie consumption, which is the target amount of exercise per week for user U1, is set to 1100 kcal. The target calorie consumption, which is the target amount of exercise per week for user U2, is set to 600 kcal. The target calorie consumption, which is the target amount of exercise per week for user U3, is set to 2000 kcal.

[0067] Here, the schedule management device 10 extracts tasks of attending meetings M1 to M3, visiting company C1, delivering to area A1, and packing P1 to P3, and assigns them to user U1 as tasks per week so that the calorie consumption of user U1 per week is equal to or close to the target calorie consumption. At this time, referring to the database 40 shown in Fig. 4, the total calorie consumption of the tasks assigned to user U1 is 1050 kcal, which is close to the target calorie consumption of user U1, which is 1100 kcal.

[0068] Furthermore, the schedule management device 10 extracts tasks, such as attending meetings M4 to M9, visiting company C2, and making deliveries to the A2 area, and assigns these to the user U2 as tasks per week so that the user U2's weekly calorie consumption is equal to or close to the target calorie consumption. At this time, referring to the database 40 shown in Fig. 4, the total calorie consumption of the tasks assigned to the user U2 is 600 kcal, which is the same as the user U2's target calorie consumption of 600 kcal.

[0069] Furthermore, the schedule management device 10 extracts the work contents of visiting company C3, delivery to area A3, and packing P4 to P9, and assigns them to user U3 as work contents per week so that the calorie consumption per week of user U3 is equal to or close to the target calorie consumption. At this time, referring to the database 40 shown in Fig. 4, the total calorie consumption of the work contents assigned to user U3 is 1950 kcal, which is close to the target calorie consumption of user U3, which is 2000 kcal.

[0070] (Another example of the operation of the schedule management system 1a) Fig. 9 is a conceptual diagram for explaining another example of the operation of the schedule management system 1a. In the example of Fig. 9, the target calorie consumption, which is the target amount of exercise per week for user U1, is set to 1100 kcal. In addition, attendance at meetings M7 to M9 is set as the work content that user U1 must perform, and delivery is set as the work content that user U1 cannot perform.

[0071] In this case, the schedule management device 10 extracts tasks of attending meetings M7 to M9, visiting company C1, visiting company C2, and packing P1 to P3, and assigns them to the user U1 as tasks per week so that the user U1's calorie consumption per week is equal to or close to the target calorie consumption, taking into consideration the set conditions. That is, the schedule management device 10 assigns the user U1 to attend meetings M7 to M9 instead of attending meetings M1 to M3, and to visit company C2 instead of delivering to the A1 area. At this time, referring to the database 40 shown in FIG. 4, the total calorie consumption of the tasks assigned to the user U1 is 1050 kcal, which is close to the user U1's target calorie consumption of 1100 kcal.

[0072] In addition, the schedule management device 10 extracts tasks of attending meetings M1-M6, making deliveries to the A1 district, and making deliveries to the A2 district, and assigns them to the user U2 as tasks per week so that the weekly calorie consumption of the user U2 is equal to or close to the target calorie consumption. That is, the schedule management device 10 assigns to the user U2 attending meetings M1-M3 instead of meetings M7-M9, and making deliveries to the A1 district instead of visiting the C2 company. At this time, referring to the database 40 shown in FIG. 4, the total calorie consumption of the tasks assigned to the user U2 is 600 kcal, which is the same as the target calorie consumption of the user U2, which is 600 kcal.

[0073] The work content assigned to user U3 is similar to the example in FIG. 8, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0074] In this way, the schedule management system 1a according to the present embodiment refers to the database 40, extracts one or more tasks that will result in an amount of exercise corresponding to the target amount of exercise per predetermined period from the multiple tasks assigned to the predetermined group G1 for each of the users U1 to U3, and assigns them as tasks per predetermined period. As a result, the schedule management system 1a according to the present embodiment can assign tasks that will allow each of the users U1 to U3 to obtain an appropriate amount of exercise. In other words, the schedule management system 1a according to the present embodiment can propose an activity plan that allows each of the users U1 to U3 to perform a given task and exercise to maintain health at the same time.

[0075] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0076] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, a part or all of the control processing in the schedule management system can be realized by causing a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to execute a computer program.
