Currently, a mobile communication terminal may use the Internet as well as a telephone, including sending and receiving a message, a data storage function, and receiving various text services such as weather and stocks.

In addition, due to the development of the memory integration technology, which is a data storage means, the degree of integration becomes higher, and thus a large amount of information can be stored in a small memory used in a portable terminal. It is possible to have a memory in the terminal, thereby allowing the user to manage personal schedules such as appointments, meetings, anniversaries, congratulations, and personal information such as names, telephone numbers, addresses, etc., on the terminal.

As such, the computer and the mobile communication terminal have been developed in a variety of ways to provide various services to the user. At present, attempts are being made for the convenience of the user by connecting the computer and the mobile communication terminal.

Conventionally, services for managing personal schedules and personal information such as user appointments, meetings, anniversaries, and congratulations have a schedule management program installed on a computer, which is created by an individual, or entered into a schedule management site provided by an Internet service provider. It was a method of checking the schedule entered at any time or by directly inputting using a mobile terminal.

However, such a schedule management system is cumbersome for users to check the schedule by accessing the schedule management site from a computer where a schedule management program is installed or a place where the Internet is accessible.

In addition, due to the widespread use of computers and mobile communication terminals, the Internet and wireless communication technologies have been rapidly developed, and users can also transfer information from mobile communication terminals, office PCs, home PCs, laptops, and vehicle terminals. There is an increasing demand for users to share their personal schedules anytime, anywhere.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of transmitting personal information and a schedule to a mobile communication terminal of a user using an SMS by a schedule management server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the user accesses the Internet using a computer and then accesses a web site for executing the schedule management program.

Run the schedule management program on the connected web site to register personal schedules, appointments, meetings, anniversaries, and events on the schedule management server, and use the SMS message in the schedule management server in which the schedule is stored. Set the time to send to the terminal.

For example, if you register on August 12, 2002 at 14:00 (date and time), your lunch appointment (calendar content) by accessing the schedule management server on the Internet, and notify the user of the personal schedule the day before, The user may receive the contents as an SMS message on the screen of the mobile communication terminal at 14:00 August 11, 2002 at the mobile communication terminal.

As described above, the schedule management server transmits the personal schedule to the mobile communication terminal of the user using the SMS at the designated alarm setting time (S100).

If it is determined that the power of the mobile communication terminal is turned on (S110) and turned on (power on), it is determined whether the mobile communication terminal is executing another application (S120).

If the mobile communication terminal is in an idle state rather than executing another application, the mobile communication terminal receives an SMS message transmitted from a schedule management server (S130).

The mobile terminal displays the SMS message for the received personal schedule on the screen (S140) and the received SMS message is stored in a database of the mobile terminal (S150).

At this time, the mobile communication terminal, like the schedule management server, generates a database table for schedule management so that the schedule can be shared with the schedule management server through a web sync (web sync), and the mobile communication terminal itself also schedules. Make it manageable.

The mobile communication terminal stores the received data in the database and returns a return value of receiving and processing the SMS message (S160).

If the mobile communication terminal is executing another application, the mobile communication terminal receives the SMS message transmitted by the schedule management server but does not display it on the screen (S121).

Thereafter, when the application is terminated (S122), the mobile communication terminal transmits data requesting retransmission of the SMS message to the schedule management server (S123).

When the schedule management server resends the SMS message regarding the personal schedule, the mobile communication terminal receives the SMS message (S130) and displays it on the screen (S140).

The received message is stored in a database of the mobile communication terminal (S150) and returns a result value of receiving and processing the SMS message to the schedule management server (S160).

If the mobile communication terminal is powered off, the schedule management server delivers an SMS message only once at an alarm setting time specified by a user for a personal schedule (S111).

When the mobile communication terminal is turned on (S112), the mobile communication terminal determines whether the received SMS message is a past schedule while reading an SMS message for a personal schedule that has been previously transmitted (S113).

If the previously transmitted SMS message is in a past schedule, it is stored in a database and not displayed (S115).

However, if the previously transmitted SMS message is scheduled in the future, it is displayed on the screen of the user's mobile communication terminal (S140) and stored in the database (S150).

The result value of the performed result is retransmitted to the schedule management server (S160).

For example, a user might register data on August 12, 2002, 14:00 Junior Lunch Appointment, and August 14, 2002, 13:00 Senior Lunch Appointment, with the Calendar Server and alarm each day before the schedule. Set.

Assume that the user turned off the mobile terminal from 12:00 on August 11, 2002, and then turned on at 15:00 on August 13, 2002.

For the schedule of 'August 12, 2002 14:00 Junior Lunch Appointment', the mobile communication terminal was turned off at 14:00 on August 11, 2002, when the alarm was set, and when the mobile terminal was turned on. Since the schedule has already passed, it is only stored in the database of the user's mobile communication terminal and is not displayed on the screen.

However, for the schedule of '13: 00 senior lunch appointment on August 14, 2002 ', the alarm setting time of August 13, 2002 13:00 is 15 August 2002 15: when the mobile terminal is turned on. Since 00, the mobile communication terminal was turned off, but because the schedule is a future schedule, it is displayed on the screen and stored in the database.

In this manner, the schedule management server and the mobile communication terminal are web-synced to share the same schedule.

In addition, when the user wants to search for a schedule that has passed using the mobile communication terminal, since the data received from the schedule management server is stored in the database of the mobile communication terminal, the corresponding application can be operated and displayed on the screen. You can also manage your own tables for personal schedules stored in the database.

In the above embodiment, the personal schedule registered on the web using a computer is transmitted to the user's mobile communication terminal by using an SMS message. A personal schedule can be registered and a notification service for the personal schedule can be received at a set time.

As described above, according to the schedule management method according to the present invention, a schedule and an appointment, a meeting, an anniversary, a congratulation, etc. of an individual entered by connecting a computer to an Internet schedule management server through an internet network (or its own network) are determined. By providing programs and protocols that can be transmitted and transmitted in a format and interoperating with various mobile communication terminals of users, it is possible to efficiently manage schedules anytime, anywhere, and to search and re-search for past and current schedules. By doing so, there is an effect of providing user convenience.

In addition, when transmitting the data about the personal schedule from the schedule management server to the user's mobile communication terminal by SMS to reduce the load required to connect to TCP / IP to a minimum it is easy to implement.

In addition, in implementing the present invention, there is no need to construct a separate additional device using an existing wireless network, and since multiple transmissions are possible, there is an effect that can be easily implemented at a low cost.
