DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings to help understand the present invention. The following examples are provided to more easily understand the present invention, and the present invention is not limited by these examples.

1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a navigation terminal for realizing a schedule management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The navigation terminal 100 has various configurations in addition to the illustrated configuration, but only the configurations necessary for the description of the present invention are illustrated. The navigation terminal of the present invention encompasses all terminals capable of implementing the contents of the claims, and a navigation function for presenting a movement route based on the current location is not essential.

The navigation terminal 100 includes a terminal control unit 102, a schedule management control unit 104, a location information receiving unit 106, an input unit 108, a map data storage unit 110, a schedule data storage unit 112, and a display 114. ), A traffic information receiver 116, and a storage device 118.

The terminal controller 102 performs overall control and operation of the navigation terminal 100. In addition, the schedule management control unit 104 performs the control and calculation tasks required to realize the schedule management method according to the present invention. Although the schedule management control unit 104 and the terminal control unit 102 are separately shown, most navigation terminals 100 may be integrated and operated.

The location information receiving unit 106 is for obtaining current location information of the navigation terminal 100. For example, the location information receiving unit 106 may be equipped with a GPS receiver that receives a signal from a GPS satellite and calculates location information to obtain the current location information. By transmitting to), it is possible to utilize the navigation function to track the current location of the navigation terminal 100 or to guide the route. The input unit 108 is an interface used to give a user a desired command to the navigation terminal, such as a keypad, a button, a jog shuttle, a touch pad, and to edit and register schedule information.

The map data storage unit 110 stores map information matched with location information in order to present a map of a current location or a specific location to a user in a navigation function. In addition to the map information, additional information related to the map is stored, such as recommended restaurants and gas station information. The schedule data storage 112 stores schedule information input by the user, and also stores a time table determined by the schedule management controller 104. The schedule management controller 104 creates a time table using the schedule information stored in the schedule data storage 112. Schedule data, such as stored schedule information or time tables, is presented to the user via the display 114 at the user's request.

The storage device 118 is a place for storing setting information of the navigation terminal 100 and data generated during other operations. Although the map data storage unit 110, the schedule data storage unit 112, and the storage device 118 are illustrated separately, all or part of them may be integrated. Storing data is not limited to its specific configuration such as ROM, RAM, memory card, hard drive disk, USB storage device.

The traffic information receiving unit 116 receives traffic condition information in real time using a wireless network, etc., and may calculate an estimated time required according to the current traffic condition, present an optimal route, and schedule management control unit ( 104 provides the information needed to modify the created time table according to traffic conditions. Hereinafter, a schedule management method performed by the navigation terminal 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described based on exemplary schedule information.

2 is a table showing an example of schedule information created by a user according to an embodiment of the present invention. The user inputs schedule information through the input unit 108, and the input schedule information is stored in the schedule data storage 112.

The schedule information created by the user is divided into each schedule by the item number 21, and each schedule item has five fields 22 to 26. FIG. The five fields, the schedule content, location, start time, time required, and priority, are not all required by the user. Some fields, which are not limited by the contents of the schedule, may be omitted.

First, the schedule contents 22 input the contents of the schedule concisely in order for the user to identify each schedule item. The location 23 is an input of a place where the schedule item is performed. In the case of items 5, 6, and 10, the position 23 is omitted. That's because it's a schedule that can be performed regardless of location. The start time 24 enters the time at which the schedule item should start. Although most schedules have a start time, the start time 24 is omitted for items 5, 6, 8, and 9. This is because there is no time limit for the execution.

The time required 25 is the time expected to be spent performing the schedule item. Next, the priority 26 is divided into A, B, and C, where A is a schedule item having the highest priority, C is a schedule item having the lowest priority, and there is no priority according to the schedule. It is a schedule item that does not need to be performed. In the present invention, by assigning a priority to each schedule item, a time table is created with reference to the priority, so that the user's intention can be sufficiently reflected, and it can play a large role in preparing an optimal time table.

Next, an example of creating a time table according to schedule information of FIG. 2 prepared by a user will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of creating a time table according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a table illustrating a time table created according to the procedure of FIG. When the procedure starts in step S300, the user performs a schedule editing operation such as creating or modifying schedule information in step S302.

In step S304, the schedule management control unit 104 reads schedule information stored in the schedule data storage unit 112 and arranges each schedule item of schedule information in step S304. The sorting order according to an embodiment of the present invention is given priority in order of priority and high priority, among which start time is written, and from which position is written. Sort in order of importance. In step S304, the items in which the priority, start time, and location fields are all filled are sorted first, the high priority calendar items are placed in the highest priority, and then the priority and start time fields are all filled in. Place the item. Then, the order of priority, the entry of all the position fields, the entry of only the priority field, the start time, the entry of all of the position fields, the entry of only the start time fields, and the entry of only the position fields are sorted. do.

The arrangement result of the schedule item performed in step S304 according to the schedule information shown in FIG. 2 is as follows. First, the schedule items filled with the priority, start time, and location fields must be sorted first. Therefore, the schedule items with the priority, start time, and location fields are filled with items 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, items 1, 2, and 3 have priority A, item 4 has priority B, and item 7 has priority C. Thus, the items are sorted in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4, 7. Next, since the schedule item in which both the priority and start time fields are filled is item 10, the schedule items are arranged in the order of items 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 10.

In addition, the item in which both the priority and position fields are filled in is item 9, the item in which only the priority field is filled in is item 5 and 6, and the item in which both the start time and position fields are filled in or the start time field is filled in. And the item written only in the position field is item 8, and finally, items are sorted in the order of items 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 9, 5, 6, 8.

Next, in step S306, each item is placed in a time table, and the travel time between the items is calculated and reflected in the time table. Meanwhile, in step S306, only the schedule items (items 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10) in which the priority, start time and location fields are written or the priority and start time fields are written and sorted are given priority. In this case, the movement time between the positions written in each schedule item may be calculated and reflected in the time table by utilizing the route movement time function of the navigation terminal. In this case, by considering the schedule item in which the priority and the start time are written as the highest priority schedule item, it is contributed to providing an optimal time table suitable for the user's intention.

If all items are placed in the time table in step S306, steps S312 and S314 can be skipped, but only the items in which the priority, start time, location fields are filled in, or in which the priority, start time fields are filled in step S306 In the case of placing in the time table, steps S312 and S314 are performed. In the following description, only an item in which the priority and start time fields are written in step S306 will be described as an example.

In order to arrange schedule items in the time table, start time and end time are obtained by referring to the start time and time required fields, and then placed in the time table. As shown in Figure 4, item 1 is 9: 00-10: 00, item 2 is 11: 00-13: 00, item 3 is 16: 00-17: 00, item 4 is 14: 00-15: 00, item 7 is placed in the time table at 20: 00-22: 00, item 10 at 17: 00-17: 10.

Then, the movement time between the schedule items arranged in the time table is calculated and reflected in the time table. If both adjacent schedule items have location information, calculation and reflection of travel time are necessary. Therefore, because item 10 of items 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 10 does not have location information, it does not calculate the travel time between item 10 and item 7 between item 3 and item 10, and item 3 if necessary. Calculate the travel time between and.

For example, looking at item 1 and item 2, item 1 is located at 'Head Office' and item 2 is located at 'Seoul National University'. After calculating the travel time between 'Head Office' and 'Seoul National University', if the travel time is 30 minutes, the temporary travel time between the end time of item 1 10:00 and the start time of item 2 11:00 is Reflect ' The reason for this is to reflect temporarily because other calendar items may be inserted between item 1 and item 2. Referring to FIG. 4, item 5 was inserted between item 1 and item 2 as a result. In the same way, the travel time between the items is calculated and reflected in the time table.

In the next step S308, the overlapping is confirmed by referring to the start time and the time required of adjacent schedule items in the time table. For example, because item 1 has a start time of 9:00 and a duration of 1 hour, the end time is 10:00, and the adjacent item 2 has a start time of 11:00, so there is no overlap and no error occurs. If the start time of 2 is 9:30, since there is an overlap with item 1, an error occurs and the flow proceeds to step S309 to output an error message on the display 114. The user checks the error message and instructs to rebuild the time table by correcting (deleting) corresponding schedule information in step S302.

In a next step S310, the overlapping property is confirmed by referring to the movement time of the adjacent schedule item in the time table. For example, the end time of item 1 is 10:00, the start time of adjacent item 2 is 11:00, and the travel time between item 1 and item 2 is expected 30 minutes, so there is no overlap and no error occurs. If the travel time between the positions of item 1 and item 2 is 1 hour and 30 minutes, since there is an overlap, an error occurs and the flow proceeds to step S311 to output an error message through the display 114. The user checks the error message and instructs to rebuild the time table by correcting (deleting) corresponding schedule information in step S302.

In steps S312 and S314, the highest priority items are arranged and then placed in an empty position of the time table for the schedule items arranged in the next order. Sorting by next order means priority, items with all location fields filled, items with only priority fields filled, start time, items with all location fields filled, items with only start time fields, and fields with only location fields. The order of the items. In the example of the schedule information of FIG. 2, items 9, 5, 6, and 8 are listed.

First, in step S312, an item in which both the priority and position fields are written and only the priority field are written in the time table. Items 9, 5, and 6 fall into this category. After placement in the timetable, the travel time between items placed in the timetable is recalculated if necessary. For example, because the time difference between item 1 and item 2 is 1 hour, the travel time was 30 minutes, and item 5 has a 30 minute timeframe, item 5 would be placed in the time table for 10: 30-11: 00. Insert to create an optimal time table. For example, for item 9, when referring to the location 'Jamsil Town Office', it is shorter to move between 'irobot' in item 4 and 'ubiquit (jamsil)' in item 3, Arranged between item 3, the travel time between item 4 and item 9 and between item 9 and item 3 is calculated and reflected in the time table.

If a new schedule item is placed in the time table in step S312, the overlapping is checked as in steps S308 and S310, and if an error occurs, an error message is output through the display 114 in step S313. The user checks the error message and instructs to rebuild the time table by correcting (deleting) corresponding schedule information in step S302.

In step S314, an entry in which both the start time, the position field is written, the entry in which only the start time field is written, and the entry in which only the position field is written are placed in the time table. Item 8 corresponds to this. As in step S312, the travel time is recalculated if necessary, and the overlapping is confirmed. If an error occurs as a result of the overlapping check, the process proceeds to step S315 and an error message is output through the display 114. The user checks the error message and instructs to rebuild the time table by correcting (deleting) corresponding schedule information in step S302. If no error occurs, the time table is completed and stored in the schedule data storage 112 and output to the user through the display 114.

According to the completed time table, the user performs the schedule in the order of the schedule items, and the navigation terminal 100 guides the schedule written in the time table, and the location information and the map data received by the location information receiving unit 106. Based on the map data stored in the storage unit 110 provides a guide service for the route, time information, destination information, and the like. In addition, when the traffic information receiver 116 is installed in the navigation terminal 100, the traffic information is received in real time and provided to the user.

Therefore, the navigation terminal 100 may calculate the travel time to the next schedule item in real time, and the actual travel time may be longer than the expected travel time when the time table is created due to the deterioration of traffic conditions. have. In addition, the schedule itself may be delayed, resulting in a lack of movement time to the next schedule item. In step S316, the user is informed according to the traffic situation information and also according to the actual remaining travel time, and if necessary, the time table is updated (recreated) according to the changed travel time. Then, the procedure ends in step S318.

By providing a schedule management service using a navigation terminal and a navigation terminal for the same provided by the present invention, the user can optimize the schedule utilizing various functions of the navigation terminal, the scope of application of the mobile terminal It can enlarge and provide a user-friendly navigation terminal.
