FIG. 2 is a meeting organizer who organizes a group meeting schedule via the Internet with members who are members of the group. This flowchart shows the process of determining the schedule.

Referring to the drawings, in step 100, the group organizer of a group turns on a communication device such as a computer, a mobile phone, a PDA, and the like, and accesses a schedule management server according to the present invention through a network. In step 102, a predetermined member authentication process for confirming whether the meeting organizer is a member of the schedule management server according to the present invention is performed. If the meeting organizer who wants to access the server is not an authenticated member, the process proceeds to step 104 to go through a retry or new member registration process. However, when the accessor is identified as an authenticated member in step 102, the process proceeds to step 106. In step 106, the meeting organizer examines the group schedule area. In the group schedule area, information about a newly arrived schedule, a to-do list, a day's schedule, a weekly schedule, a group to which the user is subscribed, and a day's to-do list is displayed.

In step 118, members wait for the member's consent / rejection vote on the new schedule.

On the other hand, if a new schedule is not prepared in step 108, the process proceeds to step 120 to check whether there is a schedule that requires the consent / deny vote of the current members. Herein, the schedule requiring the consent / deny voting of the members may be regarded as a new schedule waiting for voting in step 118. As a result of the check, if there is no schedule for which voting is requested, the process returns to step 106, and when there is a schedule for which voting is requested, the process proceeds to step 122. In step 122, the schedule contents requested for the voting are displayed, and the members' consent / rejection intention is reviewed. The consent / rejection intention of such members can be confirmed through the arrival notification service of the members. In step 124, it is determined whether the members of the schedule review the consent / rejection intention to finalize the schedule. . At this time, the determination of the schedule is made according to subjective standards or rules of the meeting organizer who prepared the schedule. For example, the schedule is decided according to the set criteria, such as determining a schedule when more than half of the members agree, or determining a schedule when all members agree. If it is determined in step 124 that the schedule is to be determined, the procedure proceeds to step 126 and the respective schedule contents are notified to each member. In this case, the contents of the determined schedule may be notified to each member through a win pop window, an e-mail, a mobile phone text message, or a wireless internet device. Subsequently, in step 128, the determined schedule is inserted into the schedule area of the group, and in step 130, the schedule is inserted into the personal schedule area of each member.

However, if the schedule is not determined in step 124, the process proceeds to step 132. In step 132, it is determined whether to modify the content of the schedule, and when it is desired to modify the content of the schedule, the flow proceeds to step 134 to modify the content of the schedule. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step 136, in which the new schedule of the modified contents is input in the personal schedule area of the members, and each member is notified of the modified schedule contents through a win-pop window, an e-mail, a mobile phone text message, or a wireless internet device. do. Then, the flow returns to step 106. If it is desired to cancel the schedule altogether in step 132, the flow proceeds to step 138 to delete the entire contents of the schedule. In operation 140, the controller notifies the cancellation of the schedule, and returns to operation 104.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which members who are members of a group participate in determining a group meeting schedule.

Referring to the drawing, in step 200, a member belonging to a group turns on a communication device such as a computer, a mobile phone or a PDA and accesses a schedule management server according to the present invention through a network.

In step 210, the members list the details of the schedule for which the ballot is requested, that is, the group name. Review the date, time, title, and voting deadline. In step 212, whether or not to agree to the schedule for which the vote is requested is indicated. In the case of agreeing with the schedule, the process proceeds to step 214. In step 214, the member agrees to the requested schedule, and the schedule agreed by the member appears in the member's personal schedule area. On the other hand, if it is opposed to the schedule, the process proceeds to step 216 and is registered as a member who opposed the schedule, and the process returns to step 206.
