  The schedule storage unit 7 stores a schedule in which one or more events specified by date and time, place, and participant information are registered. The date includes the date of the event, the scheduled start time and scheduled end time of the event, and the like.

  The registration propriety determination unit 5 and the new event input from the input unit 2 or the registration of the new event notified by the event notification mail to the schedule may be determined. More specifically, the registration adequacy determination unit 5 determines whether the new event and immediately before or after the new event based on the date and location of the new event and the date and location of the registered event immediately before or after the new event. It is determined whether or not registration of a new event in the schedule may be a problem by determining whether or not it is possible to participate in a subsequent event among the registered events.

  The notification unit 6 displays a notification on the display unit 4 when the registration suitability determination unit 5 determines that registration of a new event in the schedule may cause a problem.

  The event notification mail communication unit 3 includes a wireless communication circuit and an antenna. The wireless communication circuit transmits and receives voice and mail by radio waves through an antenna. The event notification e-mail communication unit 3 is configured such that when there is no possibility of registration of a new event input from the input unit 2 or when a registration instruction is received, a participant (this book) of the newly input event The event notification mail is transmitted to the participants except the user of the schedule management apparatus 11. The event notification mail includes information on the date and time of the event, the location, and the participants.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure for registering an event input by a user in a schedule in the first embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 2, in step S <b> 101, input unit 2 accepts an input of an event specifying the execution date and time (day, scheduled start time, and scheduled end time), execution location, and participant by the user.

  In step S102, the registration suitability determination unit 5 determines whether another event including an execution time is registered in the schedule in the schedule storage unit 7 between the scheduled start time and the scheduled end time of the input event. Determine. If registered, two events overlap at the same time, so the process proceeds to step S110. If not registered, the process proceeds to step S103.

  In step S <b> 103, the registration suitability determination unit 5 determines whether one or more other events preceding and / or following the same day as the execution date of the input event are registered in the schedule. If registered, the process proceeds to step S104. If not registered, the process proceeds to step S108.

  In step S104, when one or more preceding events are registered, the registration suitability determination unit 5 executes the input event from the execution location of the other event immediately before the input event. Identify travel time to location. The registration suitability determination unit 5 moves from the place where the input event is executed to the place where the other event is executed immediately after the input event when one or more other events to be followed are registered. Identify time. Here, as the travel time, for example, the travel time in the case of traveling by train and on foot is specified. The travel time can be specified by a known technique using map information.

  For example, when the event 1 as shown in FIG. 3 is registered in the schedule and the event 2 shown in FIG. 4 is input, the travel time from the company X to the company Y by train and on foot is calculated.

  In step S <b> 105, the registration suitability determination unit 5 determines whether or not an event that has been input by determining whether or not it is possible to participate in a subsequent event among the input event and the event immediately before or after registration. It is determined whether registration to the schedule may cause a problem. When other preceding events are registered, the registration propriety determination unit 5 sets the difference between the scheduled end time of the immediately preceding other event and the scheduled start time of the input event as the time interval between events. calculate. When other subsequent events are registered, the registration propriety determination unit 5 determines the difference between the scheduled end time of the input event and the scheduled start time of the other event immediately after the time interval between events. Calculate as

  For example, when event 1 as shown in FIG. 3 is registered in the schedule and event 2 shown in FIG. 4 is input, the time interval between events is calculated as one hour.

  The registration suitability determination unit 5 compares the calculated time interval between events with the specified travel time. When both the other preceding event and the following event are registered, the time interval between the events is larger than the travel time for both the preceding event and the following event. The process proceeds to step S108, and for at least one event, when the time interval between the events is equal to or shorter than the movement time, the process proceeds to step S106. When one of the other preceding event and the other following event is registered, and the time interval between events is larger than the travel time, the process proceeds to step S108, and the time interval between events is the travel time. In the following cases, the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S106, as shown in FIG. 5, the notification unit 6 indicates that there is a possibility that it is not possible to participate in the subsequent event among the input event and the registered event because the times are close to each other. A notification message 51 is displayed on the display unit 4, and a button 52 for instructing registration or a button 53 for instructing cancellation of registration is displayed on the display unit 4.

  If registration is selected based on the input from the input unit 2 in step S107, the process proceeds to step S108. If cancellation of registration is selected based on the input from the input unit 2, the process ends. To do.

  In step S <b> 108, the registration suitability determination unit 5 registers the input event in the schedule in the schedule storage unit 7. When event 2 shown in FIG. 4 is input, event 2 is registered in the schedule.

  In step S <b> 109, the event notification mail communication unit 3 transmits an event notification mail including the execution date and time of the input event, the execution location, and the participant information to the participants other than the user of the schedule management device 11.
