It is understood that the user management unit 31, the schedule management unit 32 and the notification transmission unit 33 are merely functionally distinguishing the schedule sharing and notification system 3 and do not necessarily refer to separate devices that are physically distinguished from each other .

Specific operations of the schedule sharing and notification system 3 and the respective units 31, 32, and 33 included therein will be described in detail below.

2 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a schedule sharing and notification method according to an exemplary embodiment. The schedule sharing and notification method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG.

First, the schedule sharing and notification system 3 can receive a schedule creation request from the user terminal 1 (S1). The schedule creation request includes a schedule time, one or more sharer information to share the schedule, and notification request information. The predetermined time refers to the year, month, day, hour, hour, and / or minute in which the schedule is scheduled. In addition, the schedule creation request may include a schedule title or a schedule content in addition to a predetermined time. If the schedule is a meeting, the subject or purpose of the meeting entered by the user may be the same.

The sharer information during the schedule creation request refers to information of another user who wants to share the schedule. For example, when the schedule is a meeting, the other attendees of the meeting correspond to the sharer. In one embodiment, the user can select a certain sharer based on the database stored in the user management section 31. [ To this end, the database of the user management unit 31 may store information of a plurality of users using the schedule sharing and notification system 3 and relationship information between users.

The user information refers to each user's name, ID, e-mail, affiliation, telephone number, and the like. Further, the relationship information means information which associates a user with another user by an item of the user information or by designation of the user. For example, when one user and another user are employees belonging to the same affiliate (for example, a company), these users may be stored in the database as relationship information belonging to the same institution. Alternatively, a user may register one or more other users as their contacts, and at this time, a list of other users the user has registered as contacts may be stored in the database as relationship information. Furthermore, relationships between individual users as well as between institutions may be stored in the database. For example, if there is a transaction relationship between the affiliation of one user and the affiliation of another user, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > information. ≪ / RTI >

The sharper information received from the user terminal 1 in the schedule management section 32 may be defined based on the database of the user management section 31. [ That is, a user who wants to create a schedule can specify a sharer by selecting some of the users stored in the database. In addition, the sharer information may be specified by further using the relationship information on the database. That is, the schedule management unit 32 extracts or arranges information of other users on the basis of the relationship information of the user who wants to create a schedule, so that the user can select a certain sharer from the list of users associated with him / .

However, in another embodiment, when the sharer to be designated by the user is not registered in the database, the schedule management unit 32 may receive the information of the sharer from the user terminal 1. [ In this case, the user can designate the sharer by directly inputting the sharer's name, affiliation, e-mail, telephone number, etc. when requesting the schedule creation.

The notification request during the schedule creation request means information about the notification to be transmitted in relation to the schedule generated by the user. A notification request may include notification settings such as the recipient information of the notification, the time at which the notification is to be transmitted, the form of the notification, and whether or not the notification is repeated. The user can designate some or all of the scheduled sharers as recipients of the notifications. The time at which the notification is transmitted may be defined as a relative time related to a certain time, and may be, for example, 10 minutes before a certain time, 5 minutes before a certain time, 5 minutes after a certain time, 10 minutes after a certain time, . The form of the notification means a form of a notification message such as an SMS, an MMS, a push notification, or an e-mail. In addition, the repetition notification means whether or not to retransmit the notification after a predetermined time after transmitting the notification at the designated time.

In the above embodiment, the user is also configured to transmit a request for notification when requesting generation of a schedule. However, in another embodiment, the user may request the notification separately from the schedule creation, which will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

When the schedule creation request is received, the schedule management unit 32 of the schedule sharing and notification system 3 creates a schedule based on the schedule creation request (S12). Here, generating the schedule means generating the schedule information based on the schedule creation request received from the user and storing it in the schedule sharing and notification system 3. The user can modify or delete the schedule stored in the schedule management unit 32 by registering with the schedule management unit 32 by himself / herself.

When the notification time specified by the notification setting is reached, the notification transmitting unit 33 transmits a notification message based on the notification setting (S13). The notification message is transmitted to the terminal 2 of one or more recipients specified by the user among the predetermined sharers and is transmitted as a message of a form specified by the user such as an SMS, an MMS, a push notification, or an e-mail. Further, the notification message is transmitted using the information of the database of the user management unit 31. [ For example, the mobile phone number of each user can be stored in the user management unit 31. Even if the user does not directly input the mobile phone number of the sharer, The mobile phone number of the sharer can be inquired from the database of the sharer, and the notification message can be transmitted by SMS, MMS or the like.

For example, the notification may include any information needed to effectively conduct meetings and meetings such as initial registration of a schedule, change of location, notification before start (for example, ten minutes before start time), list of participants and status of non-participants . By providing such notifications in the form of real time push notifications, active schedule management can be performed. As a result, unlike the conventional system in which the user can only receive the notification of the schedule according to the contents set by the user, the user can transmit the notification to the sharer who shares the schedule with the user Communication between users becomes possible. In addition, since the user can specify the time to transmit the notification, when the scheduled meeting time is imminent, an operation such as sending a notification to the attendees becomes possible, so that the efficient meeting can be performed. Further, since the information of the sharer to receive the notification can be inquired from the user database based on the relational information, it is not necessary for the user to directly input all the information of the sharer.

In one embodiment, the schedule management unit 32 may further receive whether or not the sharer attends to the schedule from the user terminal 1 (S14). At this time, the notification transmitting unit 33 may be configured to transmit a re-notification to a part or all of the sharer based on whether or not the user is attending (S15). For example, when there is a sharer who is absent from the schedule created by the user, the user can input attendance information or non-attendance information for each sharer into the schedule management unit 32. In this case, (33) can automatically transmit a re-notification message to the sharer. The present embodiment can be utilized to urge attendance by sending a re-notification message only to those who have not attended the schedule, but this is an illustrative example. Embodiments may be utilized.

2, a notification request for transmitting a sharer notification message is received in the schedule management unit 32 together with a schedule creation request, and the notification transmission unit 33 receives a notification request from the schedule management unit 32 And transmitted a notification message based on the received message. However, this is an example, and in another embodiment, the notification request may be received in the schedule sharing and notification system 3 separately from the schedule generation.

1 and 3, the schedule management unit 32 of the schedule sharing and notification system 3 according to an embodiment receives a schedule creation request including a predetermined time and sharer information from the user terminal 1 (S21), and generates a schedule based on the received information (S22).

Also, in this embodiment, the notification receiver 33 receives a notification request from the user terminal 1 (S23). In the notification request, information such as the receiver information of the notification, the time information to be transmitted, And so on. Here, the time at which the notification is to be transmitted may be defined as a time relative to a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes before a certain time, 5 minutes before a certain time, 5 minutes after a certain time, 10 minutes after a certain time, etc.) (E.g., immediately upon request, after 5 minutes, after 10 minutes, etc.).

In the embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 2, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the user can request notification separately from the schedule creation, as opposed to the user setting an alert related to the schedule at the time of schedule creation. However, the two embodiments described above are not mutually exclusive, and either one may be selected or combined with each other according to the needs of the user. That is, even if the user sets a reminder for a schedule creation request, the user may request additional reminders according to the necessity, and this is included in the scope of the present invention.

Next, the notification transmitting unit 33 transmits a notification to one or more sharer terminals 2 based on the notification request (S24). In addition, in one embodiment, the schedule management unit 32 receives the attendance of the sharer from the user terminal 1 (S25), and sends a re-notification message to the terminal 2 of part or all of the sharer based on the received information (S26). Since steps S24 to S26 are substantially the same as steps S13 to S15 of the embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 2, detailed description will be omitted in order to avoid duplication of description.

According to the schedule sharing and notification system and method according to the embodiments described above, when a user registers a schedule, a certain sharer associated with the user can be designated as the relationship information, and the user can select a text message through the mobile communication network, You can send notifications to other people who share your calendar in a variety of ways, including push notifications or email. As a result, there is an advantage that communication between the users related to the schedule is facilitated and efficient gathering can be performed.

The operations according to the schedule sharing and notification method according to the embodiments described above can be at least partially implemented in a computer program and recorded in a computer-readable recording medium. The program for realizing the operation according to the predetermined sharing and notification method according to the embodiments is recorded, and the computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices for storing data that can be read by a computer. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, and optical data storage. The computer readable recording medium may also be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed manner. In addition, functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present embodiment may be easily understood by those skilled in the art to which this embodiment belongs.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. However, it should be understood that such modifications are within the technical scope of the present invention.
