In addition, the terminal 100 of the present invention supports to automatically perform later information sharing during meeting management.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a meeting management support method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, the meeting operation support method will be mainly described for the terminal, but the meeting operation support method described below may be similarly supported in the meeting operation support apparatus 200.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the meeting operation support method of the present invention, the terminal 100 is first operated to determine whether a communication network between schedule groups is pre-registered in step S101. To this end, the user of the terminal 100 may activate an application program for forming a communication network and form a communication channel with other terminals based on the activated application program and the network 300. If a separate communication network is not formed for meeting promotion at step S101, the terminal controller 160 may branch to step S103 to support various user functions provided by the terminal 100. As described above, the user function is a function provided by the terminal 100 and may be a specific function among various functions such as a file search function, a file play function, and a file creation function.

On the other hand, based on a state in which a certain group communication network is formed in step S101, a specific terminal user can operate the meeting content configuration as in step S105. Here, the meeting content includes meeting types having various characteristics provided by the meeting operation support apparatus 200, and may include, for example, daily meetings, travel meetings, study meetings, and the like. In particular, the meeting content may be classified into items such as a party / event, travel, business, school / study, hobby, sports, broadcasting / art, religion / group, and the like. The user may designate specific meeting content that he / she desires among the various meeting classifications described above. In this case, the user may designate meeting content to newly create a specific meeting, or specify meeting content to newly join a previously created meeting. The previously created meeting items are meeting items in which other terminal users registered in the profile information 153 stored by the terminal 100 are already registered, or specific meeting contents existing in a schedule group registered by the terminal 100 user are stored. Can be. The user of the terminal 100 may control to activate the above-described meeting generation user interface for generating or joining meeting contents. Here, the meeting creation user interface can support the creation of new meetings, as well as the output of existing meeting lists to facilitate subscribing to pre-created meetings. When generating a meeting, the terminal controller 160 may generate meeting information including time information, place information, and personnel information selected by the user, and may transmit the generated meeting information to terminals of selected participants. Participants may feedback the feedback information to the meeting information generating terminal in response. Here, the feedback information may include information on selecting at least one time from the time information and place information candidate group generated by the meeting generation organizer, suggestion information for suggesting a new time and place, non-response information, non-participation information, and the like. Thereafter, the terminal controller 160 may determine meeting information including time information, place information, and personnel information in step S107 based on feedback information received from other terminals.

When meeting information is determined, the terminal controller 160 can generate new meeting content at step S109. In addition, the terminal controller 160 may update and store corresponding meeting information when the user applies for subscription to an existing meeting. Meanwhile, the terminal controller 160 may control to transmit newly generated meeting information or newly registered meeting information to other terminals registered to the corresponding module. Other terminals that receive this may store newly generated meeting information or update existing meeting information. In this case, the terminal controller 160 may perform an automatic profile information sharing function in support of the meeting operation support apparatus 200. Detailed description thereof will be described later with reference to FIG. 5.

Next, the terminal controller 160 may control to activate the meeting content a predetermined time before the time or the specified time when the time specified in the meeting information arrives as in step S111. In this process, the terminal controller 160 can alert the user that there is a meeting to be joined while activating the meeting content. In addition, the terminal controller 160 may provide participation time information of the meeting, place information of the meeting, and participation person information. In this case, the participant information may be information that can be changed until the meeting content ends, and the terminal 100 transmits its participation intention to a meeting organizer terminal or meeting participating terminals in real time according to a user's request. Can be supported.

In addition, the terminal controller 160 can check current location information and place information and output map information on a moving route. The terminal controller 160 may support to receive current location information of the participating parties in the meeting and output it on the map information according to whether or not the meeting operation support apparatus 200 is supported. In addition, the terminal controller 160 may control to automatically link and store the photo information collected during the active time of the meeting content to the corresponding meeting content. The time at which the meeting contents are activated may be the time elapsed by a certain size after the gathering of participants by the time from the start of the move to the meeting place.

Next, the terminal controller 160 checks whether an input signal for a late information processing request is generated in step S113. The late information processing request counters the occurrence of the late information upload or download event. When such an input signal is generated, the terminal controller 160 branches to step S115 to update the meeting information according to the late information. That is, when a request for uploading late information is generated according to a user's request, the terminal controller 160 may collect photo information, audio information, text information, etc. collected during the meeting content activation time, and transmit the collected information to the meeting operation support apparatus 200. Then, the meeting operation support apparatus 200 supports linking and storing the corresponding information to the meeting information. In addition, when the late information download event occurs, the terminal controller 160 may support to receive the photo information, the audio information, the text information, etc. transmitted by the meeting operation support apparatus 200 and store the information in the terminal storage 150. In this case, the received photo information may be automatically tagged information based on profile information and meeting information of terminal users participating in the meeting. Detailed description thereof will be described later with reference to FIG. 6.

On the other hand, if the application to participate in the meeting, but inevitably fails to participate in the meeting, the terminal control unit 160 may support the meeting operation support device 200 to perform the application for viewing the meeting late information. Then, the meeting operation support apparatus 200 may control to upload the late meeting information and automatically transmit the late information to the non-meeting terminal according to the determination of the permission of other terminal users.

Next, the terminal control unit 160 branches to step S117 to check whether an input signal for terminating the terminal 100 is generated, and if there is no separate end input signal, branches to step S101 to repeatedly perform the following process. Can support

Meanwhile, the terminal controller 160 may support a cost management function required for activating meeting content in step S111. That is, when the payment is set for the meeting, the terminal controller 160 may receive a message regarding the payment of the expenses, and may support the output to the touch screen 130. In addition, the terminal controller 160 may process the cost requested in the fee payment message according to a user request in various forms, for example, a mobile phone bill payment method. In addition, the terminal control unit 160 may output a payment list when the terminal user is a payment related administrator, and may control to send a message requesting payment of payment to non-paying participants.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a profile information automatic update function that may be performed in step S109 of the meeting management support method of FIG. 4.

Referring to FIG. 5, in operation S201, the terminal controller 160 may control to collect profile information of each participant included in the personnel information. At this time, the profile information may be shared with the participants who are registered in the existing meeting, but if there is a new member in the meeting and if the participant has not yet provided the profile information, the profile information of a specific participant may be absent. .

Therefore, the terminal controller 160 checks whether profile information of the specific participant who participated in the meeting does not exist in step S203. If the profile information of the specific participant does not exist, the terminal controller 160 branches to step S205 and controls to collect the profile information of the specific participant based on the index information of the specific participant and the profile information of the other participant. In this case, the index information of the specific participant may be at least one of terminal participant's unique information such as phone number information, name information, and nickname information of the corresponding participant. Such participants' index information may be filled in by the corresponding terminal user when applying for a meeting. The terminal controller 160 may detect profile information matching the unique index information based on the unique index information by using profile information of other terminals registered in the meeting. To this end, other terminals may store or link the profile information of other terminal users together with the profile information. The profile information may include address book information of the terminal user. On the other hand, if there is profile information of all participants in step S203, step S205 may be skipped.

Thereafter, the terminal controller 160 may control to automatically update the profile information in step S207. That is, the terminal controller 160 may generate meeting information by automatically updating profile information of participants whose profile information is not shared in the person information included in the meeting information.

The above-described function may be performed by the terminal control unit 160 as well as by the meeting operation support apparatus 200. That is, when a specific meeting is generated or a new participant occurs in an existing meeting, the meeting operation support apparatus 200 may collect profile information of corresponding meeting participants. In addition, profile information of a specific participant may be indirectly collected based on profile information of other participants.

As described above, the meeting operation support method of the present invention supports automatically filling in based on profile information held by other participants even when a participant does not directly fill in profile information. Accordingly, the method of the present invention can eliminate the inconvenience of having to perform profile information registration every time a new meeting is joined.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a late information processing function of step S115 of the meeting operation support method of FIG. 4. The late information may include at least one of text information, audio information, and image information provided by the participant terminals in association with the meeting. In the following description, the late information will be described based on the photo information. The photo information may be designated by the user as photo information related to the corresponding meeting contents or may be photo information collected while the meeting contents are activated as described above.

Referring to FIG. 6, in step S301, the terminal controller 160 analyzes late information to be uploaded, for example, photo information, according to a user control. To this end, the user of the terminal 100 may collect picture information by taking a picture while activating meeting content. Alternatively, the user may request that specific picture information be assigned to specific meeting content and analyzed. In the analyzing process, the terminal controller 160 may perform face recognition of each person included in the photo information. To this end, the terminal 100 may store a face recognition DB for face recognition.

In step S303, the terminal controller 160 collects profile information of persons included in the photo information. That is, when information on specific persons is collected through face recognition, the terminal controller 160 collects profile information matching the corresponding information. To this end, the terminal 100 may store profile information of persons included in the photo information in advance. Profile information may be stored in the form of address book information in a storage unit of the terminal 100. In addition, since the meeting feature of the present invention consists of a limited schedule group, for example, groups capable of sharing mutual telephone numbers, profile information of respective terminals may be shared in advance. Profile information may include a picture registered by each terminal user. As a result, the terminal controller 160 can collect only the profile information of the participants included in the corresponding photo information by comparing the photo information registered in the profile information of each terminal user with the photo information to be registered as the late information.

Next, the terminal controller 160 can perform information tagging on the corresponding picture by using the profile information and the meeting information collected in association with the picture information in step S305. That is, the terminal controller 160 may describe at least some of the profile information collected in the corresponding photo information, extract the time, place information, and title information of the collected photo information from the meeting information. Accordingly, the photo information tagged with the above-described information is generated.

Meanwhile, when the information-tagged picture information is generated, the terminal controller 160 of the terminal may control to transmit the information-tagged picture to the terminals related to the profile information in step S307. In this case, the terminal controller 160 may control to transmit the corresponding photo information to terminals of other participants who participated in the meeting information as well as the analyzed persons.

Meanwhile, the above-described automatic tagging and distribution of photo information may be performed by the meeting operation support apparatus 200. That is, the meeting operation support apparatus 200 may analyze the photo information uploaded from the terminals and perform face recognition and profile information collection of persons included in the corresponding photo. The meeting operation support apparatus 200 may generate photo-tagged photo information with the collected information, and distribute the information to the participant terminals.

In the above, the meeting management support system, the components of the system, and the meeting management support method according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention have been described. Hereinafter, the meeting operation support function of the present invention and various screen interfaces supporting the same will be described in detail.
