Abstract

A data output device has an output means that arranges a plurality of objects, which indicate each of a plurality of pieces of travel task information including a departure point, a destination, a departure date and time, and an arrival date and time of a travel task, on a graph in which one axis represents a date and time or a time and the other axis represents the sum of a first amount of time that it takes for crew members at a predetermined base location to travel to the departure point of a target travel task specified by travel task information and a second amount of time that it takes for crew members arrived at the destination of the travel task to travel to the base location, and outputs the graph.

Claims

1. A data output device, comprising:

(A);

A first amount of time that it takes for crew members at a predetermined base location to travel to the departure point of a target travel task specified by the travel task information,

(B);

A second amount of time that it takes for the crew members arrived at the destination of the target travel task to travel to the base location,

(C);

Sum of the first amount of time and the second amount of time,

(D);

Time obtained by adding a travel time of the target travel task itself to a time indicated by any one of (A) to (C), and

(E);

Time obtained by adding at least one of a waiting time at the departure point of the target travel task and a waiting time at the destination of the target travel task to a time indicated by any one of (A) to (D).

2. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein the first amount of time includes a time that it takes to travel from the base location to the departure point of the target travel task on one or a plurality of the first travel tasks different from the target travel task, and

the second amount of time includes a time that it takes to travel from the destination of the target travel task to the base location on one or a plurality of the second travel tasks different from the target travel task.

3. The data output device according to claim 2,

wherein the first amount of time includes a waiting time between a plurality of the first travel tasks when traveling from the base location to the departure point of the target travel task on the plurality of the first travel tasks, and

the second amount of time includes a waiting time between a plurality of the second travel tasks when traveling from the destination of the target travel task to the base location on the plurality of the first travel tasks.

4. The data output device according to claim 2, further comprising:

a calculating unit that calculates a time including the first amount of time of (A) to (E) above by using each of the plurality of pieces of travel task information,

wherein the calculating unit specifies one travel task or a combination of the plurality of travel tasks, in which the time that it takes to travel from the base location to the departure point of the target travel task is minimum, for each target travel task, and calculates the first amount of time on the specified travel task.

5. The data output device according to claim 2, further comprising:

a calculating unit that calculates a time including the second amount of time of (A) to (E) above by using each of the plurality of pieces of travel task information,

wherein the calculating unit specifies one travel task or a combination of the plurality of travel tasks, in which the time that it takes to travel from the destination of the target travel task to the base location is minimum, for each target travel task, and calculates the second amount of time on the specified travel task.

6. The data output device according to claim 4,

wherein when the calculating unit specifies the combination of the plurality of travel tasks and calculates the first amount of time on the plurality of specified travel tasks, the calculating unit specifies the combination of the plurality of travel tasks in which a waiting time between the travel tasks is equal to or more than a predetermined time.

7. The data output device according to claim 5,

wherein when the calculating unit specifies the combination of the plurality of travel tasks and calculates the second amount of time on the plurality of specified travel tasks, the calculating unit specifies the combination of the plurality of travel tasks in which a waiting time between the travel tasks is equal to or more than a predetermined time.

8. The data output device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a first accepting unit that accepts input for selecting one of the plurality of objects displayed on the graph, and

an extracting unit that extracts the travel task information of at least one of the travel task that is changed from a selection travel task specified by the object accepted by the first accepting unit and the travel task that is changed to the selection travel task,

wherein the output unit displays the object indicating the travel task information extracted by the extracting unit so as to be distinguished from other objects.

9. The data output device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a grouping unit that groups the plurality of pieces of travel task information in units of one-time work of a crew member, and

the output unit displays the plurality of objects indicating the plurality of pieces of travel task information belonging to the same group so as to be distinguished from the other objects.

10. The data output device according to claim 9,

wherein the output unit displays the plurality of objects, which indicate the plurality of pieces of travel task information belonging to the same group, by connecting the plurality of objects with lines in a connection order.

11. The data output device according to claim 9, further comprising:

a second accepting unit that accepts input for selecting one of the plurality of groups distinguishably displayed on the graph, and

the output unit displays the selected group so as to be distinguished from the other groups.

12. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein the date and time or the time of the one axis is a departure date and time, a departure time, an arrival date and time, or an arrival time of the travel task.

13. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein the object has a shape including the concept of length, and a travel time of each travel task is indicated by the length.

14. The data output device according to claim 1,

wherein the travel task is a flight of an aircraft.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores therein a program causing a computer to function as an output unit that arranges a plurality of objects, which indicate each of a plurality of pieces of travel task information including a departure point, a destination, a departure date and time, and an arrival date and time of a travel task, on a graph in which one axis represents a date and time or a time and the other axis represents a time including any one of (A) to (E) below or a log of the time, and outputs the graph,

(A):

A first amount of time that it takes for crew members at a predetermined base location to travel to the departure point of a target travel task specified by the travel task information,

(B);

A second amount of time that it takes for the crew members arrived at the destination of the target travel task to travel to the base location,
