Description

  The present invention relates to an information management apparatus having a reminder function.

Currently, mobile phones and tablet terminals have a reminder function for registering a schedule and requirements (hereinafter referred to as “reminder information”) in advance and notifying the user of the reminder information at the time of the schedule. Here, the reminder information is, for example, the contents of the agenda written out in a meeting or a memo of an advertisement seen while going out.
When registering reminder information, it is generally operated by key input. However, if there is a lot of information to be input, it takes time. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-133867 proposes reducing the troublesome schedule registration by capturing a handwritten schedule with a scanner.

JP 2001-84228 A

  However, the registration method of Patent Document 1 needs to register a schedule together with information read by a scanner, and the time and effort for registering the schedule by a key input operation remains the same. Also, it does not take into account the content confirmation and action after the alert is generated by the reminder function.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides an information management device having a reminder function, an image data storage unit that stores image data captured by an imaging unit included in the device, and each of the image data. Correspondingly, there is provided a reminder information registering means for registering reminder information related to an action to be executed by the device at a predetermined timing, and a reminder candidate presenting means for presenting a candidate for the reminder information registered in the reminder information registering means. When the imaging unit captures a predetermined subject in the close-up mode, the image data storage unit stores the captured image data in a folder related to document management, and the imaging unit When the image capturing mode for capturing a predetermined subject is not the close-up mode, the image data storage means captures the captured image. When the data is stored in a folder related to document management and stored in the folder related to document management, the reminder candidate presentation unit displays one or more reminder candidates related to predetermined document management. If any of the displayed reminder candidates is selected, the selected reminder information is registered in association with the image data.

  According to the present invention, reminder registration can be easily performed only by an operation of imaging and selection of reminder information, and usability and convenience of the reminder function are improved.
