Meanwhile, the schedule reminding time is set by the user, or the controller 220 calculates the schedule reminding time by setting the automatic reminding function, and the schedule reminding time is set, and the schedule information including the schedule reminding time is registered and stored in the storage unit ( Although registered in step 140, it may be necessary to change the schedule notification time depending on the situation.

In other words, when traffic jams are expected from the scheduled departure time to perform the schedule, or when the telematics terminal moves away from or close to a predetermined distance after the registration of the schedule information, It is necessary to change the set reminder time.

According to a fifth embodiment of the present invention for satisfying the necessity, the controller 220 monitors the movement of the telematics terminal or checks traffic conditions to a corresponding place at predetermined intervals to change the schedule notification time as described above. If there is a need, a control for changing the schedule reminding time for the registered schedule is performed.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a schedule management method of a telematics terminal according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, in order to provide a schedule management service of a user in a telematics terminal according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, a user first registers information on a schedule requiring schedule management by using a schedule information registration menu. It is performed by (S510).

In detail, when a user presses a menu key of the key input unit 110 of the telematics terminal to register a schedule requiring management, the controller 220 transmits the telematics terminal to the display unit 252 through the image signal processor 251. To provide a menu screen provided by.

A user selects a menu displayed on a menu screen provided by the telematics terminal and a submenu screen associated with the telematics terminal, and schedules information that the user wants to register, including a schedule title, schedule contents, schedule location, counterpart contact information, and schedule notification time. Enter the content. In addition, as described above, the schedule automatic notification function may be selected instead of the schedule notification time input.

On the other hand, in the schedule registration step 510, the schedule that needs to be moved to the schedule place in order to perform the schedule so that it is possible to separately manage the schedule when it is necessary to change the schedule notification time according to the schedule content In this case, the schedule information may be stored in a separate memory area of the storage 140.

The method of determining whether the schedule needs to be moved to the schedule place may be determined according to user input information by a submenu regarding whether to move, or may be determined by analyzing schedule contents.

For example, when the schedule information includes contents such as 'participation', 'attendance', 'attendance' indicating contents for participating in an event, the schedule information may be determined as a schedule requiring movement to a certain place. For example, when someone includes the contents of 'call', 'notification', etc., it may be determined that the schedule does not need to be moved to a certain place.

The controller 220 of the terminal stores the schedule information in the storage 140 by classifying the schedule into a schedule requiring movement to a schedule place and the schedule without movement.

After the schedule registration step (S510), the controller 220 of the telematics terminal performs a process of changing the schedule notification time if necessary before checking whether the schedule notification time for the schedule stored in the storage 140 arrives ( S10).

In order to determine whether the schedule notification time needs to be changed, the controller 220 determines whether the stored schedule is a schedule requiring movement to a schedule place (S11).

As described in the schedule registration step (S510), when separately stored in the storage unit 140 for the schedule that needs to move to the schedule place, it is determined that the schedule to move to the schedule place for the separately stored schedule. . However, when a schedule requiring movement to a schedule place is stored without being classified, it is determined whether or not the schedule requires movement to the schedule place according to the contents of the registered schedule information for the schedule.

As a result of the determination (S11), when the schedule does not need to move to the schedule place, a schedule check is performed on the stored schedule notification time (S520).

However, in the determination result (S11), in the case of a schedule that needs to move to a certain place, it is determined whether the estimated moving time is changed by checking the estimated time required for moving to the corresponding place (S12).

That is, when traffic jams are expected from the scheduled departure time to the schedule place to perform the schedule, or when the telematics terminal moves away from or close to a predetermined distance from the schedule place after registering schedule information, the user adjusts to the schedule. In order to change the notification time set for the first time it is necessary to inform.

Therefore, it is preferable to perform the step (S12) of determining whether the estimated movement time is changed, according to the registered schedule content, or when the telematics terminal moves more than a predetermined distance. The predetermined period may be variably set in units of time, in units of 30 minutes, in accordance with contents of registered schedule information, such as schedule contents and schedule times.

In order to determine whether the estimated travel time is changed, current location information of the telematics terminal, location information of a schedule place where the corresponding schedule is performed, and traffic information at an expected departure time may be used. The expected departure time information is extracted from the information initially set and stored in the schedule registration step (S510).

The controller 220 checks whether the estimated travel time from the current location to a certain place is longer using the information, or checks whether the estimated travel time from the expected departure time is longer. It is possible to determine whether the estimated travel time has changed.

In detail, in order to determine whether there is a change in the estimated moving time to the predetermined place, the terminal controller 220 determines the estimated moving time from the current position of the terminal to the predetermined place, and registers the estimated moving time and the previously registered time. By comparing the travel time calculated from the calculated schedule information, it may be determined that there is a change in the estimated travel time when the estimated travel time is longer than the calculated travel time.

In this case, as an example for determining the travel time to the place to perform the corresponding schedule, the terminal controller 220 calculates the estimated time required according to the traffic situation from the navigator 210 to a certain place from the current location of the telematics terminal. The estimated travel time received and received are determined as the estimated travel time.

As a result of determining whether the estimated movement time is changed (S12), when there is a change in the estimated movement time, the terminal controller 220 checks whether the user wants to change the notification time of the schedule information, and determines the notification time of the registered schedule information. The control for changing the schedule notification time for changing is performed.

To this end, the terminal controller 220 outputs user interface information for checking whether the schedule notification time is changed to the user using the output means 250 and 260 (S13).

The method of outputting the user interface information may also be implemented in various ways.

For example, the display unit 252 may output a menu screen on which the “schedule notification time change” can be selected on the display unit 252. In this case, the user may input a user's intention to change the schedule notification time by using a key input corresponding to the user interface menu screen.

As another example, the voice message “Do you want to change the schedule reminding time” may be output through the speaker 262. In this case, the user may input a user's intention to change the schedule notification time in response to the voice message through the microphone 263 in response to the user interface message.

The terminal controller 220 may change the registered schedule notification time according to a user response input corresponding to the user interface information according to the output of the user interface information.

The schedule notification time changed according to the above process is set as a new schedule notification time and stored in the storage unit 140 as corresponding schedule information (S14).

When the update of the schedule registration of the user is completed by the new schedule reminding time according to the above process, the terminal controller 220 checks whether the registered new schedule reminding time arrives (S520), and determines whether the corresponding schedule reminding time is reached. (S530).

As a result of the determination (S530), if the predetermined time has not been reached, the controller periodically checks whether the registered fixed time arrives (S520) and continues to determine whether the predetermined time reaches (S530).

On the other hand, when the determination result (S530), the predetermined time is reached, the terminal controller 220 according to the schedule notification method previously set by the user, any one of the notification method using the voice output, screen display or vibration output By using the above control the notification means (250, 260) by outputting the corresponding schedule information to inform the user that the schedule execution time has arrived. In this case, it is preferable that the user displays the menu screen for performing a function required for performing the corresponding schedule together with the schedule information (S540).

The menu screen required to perform the schedule includes a menu screen for executing an additional function provided by a telematics terminal such as a navigation function for moving to a schedule place, a video phone function for a video call, and a reserved call function.

According to the step (S540), the terminal controller 220 outputs a menu screen for executing the additional function required to perform the schedule with the schedule information that the predetermined time has arrived through the notification means (250, 260), It is determined whether a user's response for executing the additional function is input (S551).

As a result of the determination (S551), when a user command for executing the corresponding additional function is input, the terminal controller 220 outputs a control signal to a component in charge of executing the corresponding additional function to execute the corresponding function (S552). .

On the other hand, when the determination result (S551), when a user command indicating the rejection of the execution of the additional function is input or if no user command is input within a predetermined time, for example, the user according to the predetermined time notification signal If it is recognized that the predetermined time has arrived, but due to circumstances, the terminal controller 220 ends the schedule notification process.
