Next Time Of Given Pattern

Question

Introduction:

Some times using a 24-hour clock are formatted in a nice pattern. For these patterns, we'll have four different categories:

All the same (pattern A:AA or AA:AA):
 0:00
 1:11
 2:22
 3:33
 4:44
 5:55
11:11
22:22

Increasing (pattern B:CD or AB:CD, where D==C+1==B+2==A+3):
 0:12
 1:23
 2:34
 3:45
 4:56
12:34
23:45

Pair (pattern AB:AB):
10:10
12:12
13:13
14:14
15:15
16:16
17:17
18:18
19:19
20:20
21:21
23:23

Palindrome (pattern A:BA or AB:BA):
 0:10
 0:20
 0:30
 0:40
 0:50
 1:01
 1:21
 1:31
 1:41
 1:51
 2:02
 2:12
 2:32
 2:42
 2:52
 3:03
 3:13
 3:23
 3:43
 3:53
 4:04
 4:14
 4:24
 4:34
 4:54
 5:05
 5:15
 5:25
 5:35
 5:45
 6:06
 6:16

 7:37
 7:47
 7:57

20:02
21:12
23:32

Challenge:

Given a starting time and a category, output how many minutes should be added to the start time, for it to reach the closest (forward) time of the given category.

For example: if the start time is 14:47 and the category is palindrome, the smallest time after 14:47 in the palindrome category is 15:51, so the output is 64 minutes (because 14:47 + 64 minutes = 15:51).

Challenge Rules:

• As you may have noted: the times in the 'All the same' category are excluded from the 'Pair' and 'Palindrome' categories, even though they are technically also pairs/palindromes.
• We only look forward when we go to the closest time. So in the example above the output is 64 (time 15:51) and not -6 (time 14:41).
• You may take the times in any reasonable format. May be a string, a (Date)Time-object, a pair of integers, etc.
• You may use any reasonable distinct input-values for the four categories. (Keep in mind this forbidden loophole!) May be four integers; may be the category-names as strings; may be an enum; etc.
• If the input-time is already valid for the given category, the result is 0 (so we won't look for the next one).
• We use an A:BC pattern for single-digit hours, so they won't be left-padded with a 0 to 0A:BC.

General Rules:

• This is code-golf, so the shortest answer in bytes wins.
  Don't let code-golf languages discourage you from posting answers with non-codegolfing languages. Try to come up with an as short as possible answer for 'any' programming language.
• Standard rules apply for your answer with default I/O rules, so you are allowed to use STDIN/STDOUT, functions/method with the proper parameters and return-type, full programs. Your call.
• Default Loopholes are forbidden.
• If possible, please add a link with a test for your code (e.g. TIO).
• Also, adding an explanation for your answer is highly recommended.

Test Cases:

You don't need to output the time between parenthesis. Those are just added as clarification in the test cases below. Only the integer-output is required to be output.

Inputs: 14:47, palindrome
Output: 64   (15:51)

Inputs: 0:00, all the same
Output: 0    (0:00)

Inputs: 23:33, palindrome
Output: 37   (0:10)

Inputs: 23:24, pair
Output: 646  (10:10)

Inputs: 10:00, increasing
Output: 154  (12:34)

Inputs: 0:00, increasing
Output: 12   (0:12)

Inputs: 23:59, all the same
Output: 1    (0:00)

Inputs: 11:11, pair
Output: 61   (12:12)

Expects (type)(minutes, hours), with type in \$[0..3]\$ (all the same, increasing, pair and palindrome respectively).

t=>g=(m,h,T=10,d=m-h)=>[q=m%11|d&&d-h*T,d-12-T*(282%h^6?h:1),h<T|d,(h>9?m/T^h%T?T:h/T:h)^m%T][t]|!q*t&&1+g(m=-~m%60,(h+!m)%24)

Try it online!

How?

All formulae are falsy if the criterion is met, or truthy if it's not.

If the first test is triggered, the other ones are forced to fail (this is | !q * t in the code). This enforces the rule about discarding pairs and palindromes with a unique digit.

All the same

m % 11 | m - h && m - h * 11

We must have either:

• \$m\bmod 11=0\$ and \$m=h\$ (e.g. 22:22)
• or \$m=h\times11\$ (e.g. 4:44)

Increasing

m - h - 12 - 10 * (282 % h ^ 6 ? h : 1)

We must have either:

• \$m=h+12+10\$ if \$h\in\{12,23\}\$
• or \$m=h+12+10\times h\$ if \$h\notin\{12,23\}\$

We have \$282\bmod h=6\$ if \$h\in\{12,23\}\$ and \$282\bmod h\neq 6\$ otherwise.

Pair

h < 10 | h - m

We must have \$h\ge9\$ and \$h=m\$.

Palindrome

(h > 9 ? m / 10 ^ h % 10 ? 10 : h / 10 : h) ^ m % 10

We must have either:

• \$h=m\bmod 10\$ if \$h\le 9\$
• or \$\lfloor m/10\rfloor = h\bmod 10\$ and \$\lfloor h/10\rfloor = m\bmod 10\$ if \$h>9\$

A dyadic link that accepts the time of day in minutes as an integer on the left and the category as an integer on the right and yields the number of minutes until the clock will show a time with the given category.

category	input value
all the same	1
increasing	2
palindrome	3
pair	4

(Zero will give the time until no category too.)

Try it online! Or see the test-suite.
