1 is a block diagram of a schedule management service system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The ARS (Auto Response System) server 115 provides a guide voice for inputting schedule information including time information and location information to the phone 111 connected through the public telephone network 113, and the public network interworking server ( 117 supports an interworking function between the telephone 111 connected to the public telephone network 113 and the schedule extraction server 140 in a wide area network (WAN) environment such as the Internet.

The messenger server 125 provides an instant messenger service for inputting schedule information including time information and location information to a computer 121 connected through a wired communication network 123. For this purpose, a specific application which is client software is pre-installed on the computer 121. The wired network server 127 supports an interworking function between the computer 121 connected to the wired communication network 123 and the schedule extraction server 140.

The Short Message Service (SMS) server 135 extracts schedule information including time information and location information from an SMS message transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 131 through the wireless communication network 133, and the location positioning server 137 Is precisely measuring the current position of the mobile communication terminal 131 using the positioning technology, and supports a variety of location-based application services using the measurement results. The wireless network server 139 supports an interworking function of the mobile communication terminal 131 connected to the wireless communication network 133 and the schedule extraction server 140.

The schedule extracting server 140 converts the schedule information requested through the phone 111, the computer 121, and the mobile communication terminal 131 into a format supported by the schedule management server 150, and transmits the registered schedule information. . The voice processing unit 141 of the schedule extraction server 140 processes the voice schedule information input through the ARS server 115 to convert it into a predetermined format, and the language processing unit 143 uses the SMS server 135. The schedule information input as text is processed in language and converted into a predetermined format.

The schedule management server 150 registers and manages a corresponding schedule in the schedule DB 160 based on schedule information including time information and location information transmitted from the schedule extraction server 140. Of course, it also plays a unique role of notifying or notifying a pre-registered schedule according to a predetermined rule, as well as known schedule management techniques.

Looking at the detailed configuration of the schedule management server 150, the movement time calculation unit 151 calculates the movement time between schedules based on the position information of the schedules registered in the schedule DB (160) or the position location server (137) Based on the current location of the mobile communication terminal 131 and the location information of the pre-registered schedules, the real-time moving time is calculated. The schedule registration unit 153 selectively registers the corresponding schedule by checking whether there is a conflict in consideration of the time difference between the movable time between the schedules calculated by the movement time calculator 151 and the pre-registered schedules when the schedule is registered. The schedule checker 155 checks whether or not there is a conflict in consideration of the time information of the previously registered schedules, the time difference between the current time, and the real-time movable time calculated by the movement time calculator 151, and notifies the guide message of the schedule. Determine whether or not.

The schedule notification server 170 transmits a registration guide or an error guide message of the schedule according to the processing result by the schedule register unit 153 from any one of the ARS server 115, the messenger server 125, and the SMS server 135. Notify the user by using a message, and according to the processing result of the schedule check unit 155, the guidance message for the schedule to the route of any one of the ARS server 115, messenger server 125 and SMS server 135 To inform the user.

A schedule management process by the schedule management system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

First, a method of inputting schedule information for registration of a schedule by the user, a method of inputting the schedule through the ARS service of the ARS server 115 through the phone 111 and the messenger server 125 through the computer 121. One of the methods of inputting the schedule through the instant messenger service and the method of transmitting the schedule as an SMS message using the mobile communication terminal 131 may be used.

To this end, the ARS server 115 provides a guide voice for guiding input of schedule information to the telephone 111 connected through the public telephone network 113 to obtain schedule information including time information and location information. The messenger server 125 provides a schedule input menu for inputting schedule information including time information and location information while providing a known instant messenger service through a computer 121 connected through a wired communication network 123. . In this case, a group schedule input menu for simultaneously inputting the same schedule for multiple users using a buddy list is provided together.

As such, the user accesses any one of the public telephone network 113, the wired communication network 123, and the wireless communication network 133 through the terminal selected by the user for the registration of the schedule (S201), and registers the schedule information that he / she wants to register. If input (S203), the schedule information is transmitted to the schedule extraction server 140 by any one of the public network interworking server 117, the wired network server 127 and the wireless network server 139.

Then, the voice processing unit 141 of the schedule extraction server 140 performs voice processing on the schedule information input by voice through the ARS server 115 and converts it into a predetermined format. To this end, the voice processing unit 141 continuously recognizes the voice input through the ARS server 115 and extracts schedule information requested by the user through word spotting and natural language processing. For example, if a user enters the schedule "Agreement with friends at Gangnam Station at 7:00 pm on February 10," via the ARS server 115, the word spotting will be "February 10, 7:00 pm, Gangnam Station, friends, "Promise" and only keyword words are recognized. In addition, the language processing unit 143 performs language processing on the schedule information input as text through the SMS server 135 and converts the predetermined information into a predetermined format (S205 and S207). At this time, the data transmission between the messenger server 125 and the schedule management server 150 operates in a WAN environment such as the Internet, and thus does not undergo a separate process.

The schedule extraction server 140 extracts schedule information from the processed data (S209), and transfers the extracted schedule information to the schedule management server 150. Then, the schedule registration unit 153 of the schedule management server 150 checks whether there is a conflict in consideration of the time difference between the movable time between the schedule calculated by the movement time calculating unit 151 and the pre-registered schedules at the time of registering the schedule. Register the schedule selectively.

In detail, such a schedule registration process, the schedule registration unit 153 extracts a preceding schedule and a trailing schedule that are close in time from schedules previously registered in the schedule DB 160 based on time information of a schedule currently requested to be registered. In operation S211, the mobile terminal 100 calculates the movable time between the two schedules by providing the position information of the registration schedules and the position information of the schedule currently requested to the movement time calculator 151. At this time, the movement time calculation unit 151 converts the position information into the electronic map coordinate data and inputs it to the electronic map engine to calculate the movement time between the two positions (S213). Vehicle information is needed. Therefore, in the configuration mode provided by the schedule management server 150, the user may input the vehicle information corresponding to the schedule together with the means for pre-setting the vehicle, that is, the means of transportation or inputting the schedule information. do. Next, the schedule registration unit 153 calculates a time difference between schedules based on the time information of the registration schedules and time information of the schedule currently requested to be registered, and then between the movable time and the schedule calculated by the movement time calculator 151. Compare the time difference and check whether there is a conflict between schedules. In other words, after performing a schedule that takes precedence in time, it is checked whether it is possible to move to the location of the next schedule (S215) and registers the schedule in the schedule DB 160 only when the movement is possible.

In addition, the schedule registration unit 153 registers and manages a point of interest (POI) input by the user in the schedule DB 160 along with the electronic map information. Thus, when the schedule is registered, the movement time calculator 151 may calculate the proximity by comparing the POI information of the adjacent schedule with the POI information of the newly registered schedule. For example, in the electronic map of FIG. 4, if the A POI is registered as the 2 o'clock appointment, the distance from the POI, which is the 1:30 appointment to be newly registered, is calculated. To this end, it can be linked with a separate traffic information system. If the information that it takes about 1 hour from A POI to B POI to be transferred from the traffic information system is transmitted from the traffic information system, the schedule that is physically existing and the schedule to be newly registered are conflicted when considering the travel time. To be processed.

In addition, the schedule registration unit 153 requests the schedule notification server 170 for a registration guide or an error guide of a corresponding schedule in order to notify users of whether schedules requested by the user are registered, and the schedule notification server 170. Notifies the user of the registration guide message or the error guide message using any one of the ARS server 115, the messenger server 125, and the SMS server 135 (S217 and S219).

Meanwhile, the schedule checker 155 of the schedule management server 150 may perform a time difference between the time information of the schedules previously registered in the schedule DB 160 and the current time, and the real time movement time calculated by the movement time calculator 151. Consider whether there is a conflict or not, and decide whether or not to notify the guide of the schedule.

When the schedule check process is described in detail, the schedule checker 155 periodically checks the schedules pre-registered in the schedule DB 160 (S301) and informs the positioning server 137 of the current position of the mobile communication terminal 131. It requests to be located (S303), and extracts time information and location information included in a predetermined registration schedule (S305).

Then, the positioning server 137 precisely measures the current position of the mobile communication terminal 131 using the positioning technology and transmits the measurement result to the schedule management server 150, the movement time calculator 151 is Based on the current location of the mobile communication terminal 131 measured by the location server 137 and the location information of pre-registered schedules, a real time movement time is calculated (S307).

Next, the schedule checker 155 checks whether there is a conflict in consideration of a time difference between the time information of the previously registered schedules and the current time, and the real-time movable time calculated by the movement time calculator 151. If it is determined in step S309 that the location cannot be moved from the location to the location of the registration schedule, the schedule notification server 170 is requested to the schedule notification server 170 to notify the departure of the boundary, and the schedule notification server 170 is requested. In step S311, the boundary departure guidance message is notified to the user by using one of the ARS server 115, the messenger server 125, and the SMS server 135.

In addition, another method of schedule check is to periodically calculate the distance between the designated schedule A POI and the current position of the mobile communication terminal 131 (red area in the circle shown in FIG. 4), and according to the change of the user's position. Create virtual boundaries to keep your schedule. For example, the thick circle of FIG. 4 may be generated as a boundary that can move within 30 minutes, and a thin solid circle as a boundary that can move within 1 hour. In this way, the current position of the mobile communication terminal 131 may be generated as a variable POI, and then a moving boundary may be generated up to a specified schedule, A POI, and the moving time of the mobile boundary and the predetermined time of the A POI may be compared to the corresponding schedule. You will be informed of the information.

The method steps of the present invention described so far in the preferred embodiments may be implemented in hardware that can be implemented in a general purpose computer or in hardware to implement the system of the present invention. In addition, a program in which the method of the present invention is implemented may be stored in various recording media including a memory, a floppy disk, and a CD.

In addition, the description has been limited to the embodiment of the present invention, but it is apparent that the technology of the present invention can be easily modified by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims below.

As described above, the present invention receives a user's schedule in a wired / wireless network environment, checks whether there is a conflict with a pre-registered schedule based on time information and location information, and registers a schedule. By providing a guide message for the registration schedule in consideration of the location information and the current location information of the user, if the schedule requested to be conflicted, the registration schedule cannot be made in advance so that the schedule does not overlap and the registration schedule can be performed. It is effective to guide whether or not to cause a disruption in the schedule performance by real-time guidance.
