The controller 100 checks whether a menu key is input in step 205. When the menu key is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 207 to display menu items corresponding to the menu key using a popup window. For example, it is displayed as "1: Register new schedule 2: Delete entire schedule 3: Change image" (see FIG. 4 (b)).

In the state where the pop-up window is displayed, the controller 100 proceeds to step 209 to check whether item 3 (change image) is selected. If the "change image" is not selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 223 to process a function according to the selected menu item among the menu items. If the "change image" is selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 211 and displays an image change screen. For example, as shown in (c) of FIG.

In the state where the image change screen is displayed, the controller 100 checks whether a direction key is input by a user's key operation in step 213. If the direction key is not input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 217 and checks whether a confirmation key is input. If the direction key is input, the controller 100 changes the displayed image in response to the input of the direction key in step 215.

After changing the displayed image, the controller 100 proceeds to step 217 and checks whether a confirmation key is input. If the confirmation key is not input, the control unit 100 returns to step 213 to check again whether a direction key is input. If the confirmation key is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 219 and sets the currently displayed image as the image displayed on the calendar screen. In operation 221, the controller 100 displays a calendar and the set image on a display window. For example, as shown in (d) of FIG. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D, the user may change an image displayed on the calendar screen.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, in step 301, the controller 100 determines whether a menu item “Schedule Management” is selected by a user's key operation. For example, the "Schedule Management" menu may be configured as a submenu of "Electronic Diary" which is a top menu. When the menu item "Schedule Management" is selected, the controller 100 displays a calendar and a setting image including a current date in a display window in step 303. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. The selection mark will then be located on the current date.

In operation 305, the controller 100 checks whether a direction key is input by a user's key operation. If the direction key is not input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 309. If the direction key is input, the controller 100 moves the selection display in response to the input of the direction key in step 307. The controller 100 checks whether a confirmation key is input in step 309.

If the confirmation key is not input, the control unit 100 returns to step 305 to check again whether a direction key is input. If the confirmation key is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 311 and displays a schedule registration screen. The schedule registration screen is a screen for setting a schedule time, schedule content, alarm time, melody, and icon. If a schedule is registered on the selected date, the details of the registered schedule are displayed when the confirmation key is input. In this state, when the user inputs a menu key and selects "Add" among the displayed menu items, the schedule registration screen is displayed.

In the state where the schedule registration screen is displayed, the controller 100 checks whether a schedule time is input by a user's key operation in step 313. If the schedule time is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 315 and stores the input schedule time.

After storing the schedule time, the controller 100 checks whether the schedule content is input by the user's key operation in step 317. If the schedule content is input, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 319 and stores the input schedule content.

After storing the schedule content, the control unit 100 checks whether an alarm time is selected by a user's key operation (321). If the alarm time is selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 323 and stores the selected alarm time.

After storing the alarm time, the control unit 100 checks whether the melody is selected by the user's key operation in step 325. If the melody is selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 327 and stores the selected melody.

The schedule time, schedule content, alarm time, and melody setting are the same as in the conventional method. The present invention is characterized by further registering an icon in addition to the above four items. Therefore, after setting the melody, the controller 100 checks whether an icon is selected by the user's key operation in step 329. If the icon is selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 331 to register the selected icon.

The screen (a) of FIG. 5 shows a screen (schedule registration screen) in which a schedule time, schedule content, alarm time, melody, and icon are set. As shown, the schedule time is '11: 13 ', the schedule content is' movie', the alarm time is' 1 hour ago ', the melody is' mysterious sound 2', and the icon is' projector image ' Shows that it is set to.

In operation 333, the controller 100 checks whether a confirmation key is input by a user's key manipulation. When the confirmation key is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 335 and registers a schedule including the registered schedule time, schedule content, alarm time, melody, and icon on the selection date. In operation 221, the controller 100 displays a calendar image in which the selection date is changed to the registered icon. For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. As shown, it can be seen that the four days the schedule is registered is changed to an icon (projector-shaped image) set by the user.

Although the above-described embodiment is described as moving to the schedule registration screen by moving a selection display to a desired date on a calendar screen and entering a confirmation key, a menu key is displayed on a calendar screen and a "new" menu item is displayed. It is also possible to enter the schedule registration screen by selecting "Register a schedule".

In addition, when a plurality of schedules are registered on one date, the icon display may be variously implemented. For example, an icon of the first registration schedule may be displayed. In another example, an icon of the last registration schedule may be displayed.
