That is, if three of the last four schedules related to the person A stored in the address book are fulfilled and one is failed, the address book management module may display 'Fulfillment 3 / Failure 1' in the information column of the address book list. It indicates whether the schedule related to A has been fulfilled. In addition, when the user selects 'conform' or 'nonconforming' included in the address book list, the address book management module reads detailed schedule information on the corresponding schedule and outputs it through the display unit. At this time, the user operates the terminal 100 to calculate the reference period (1 week or 1 month of transition, etc.) when 'schedule fulfillment' is displayed on the address book list and 'schedule fulfillment' is displayed. Period), and the address book management module operates by referring to the stored environment setting information according to a user's operation.

In addition, the address book management module according to the present invention may be configured to display statistical information related to a schedule in the address book list in conjunction with the schedule statistics module 216 described above. In this case, the provided statistical information may include one or a plurality of information among various statistical information that may be calculated using the schedule statistics module 216 according to the present invention, such as a destination and a subject, and more preferably related to the destination information. Preferably, the statistical information is configured to be displayed. For example, if three of the last four events related to person A stored in the address book were 'Gangnam' and one destination was 'Jamsil', then the address book management module would associate the user with person A. Determines the main destination (main meeting place) as 'Gangnam', and displays the main destination as 'Gangnam' in the information column of the address book list. Of course, whether to display the statistical information, the statistical information calculation period may be changed according to the user's preference.

According to the user's selection of the schedule information, the user directly operates the terminal to store the memo or other information inputted into the extracted schedule information or store the memo or other stored in the external schedule server 140 or the personal information server 160. After requesting and receiving the information, the information is included in the extracted schedule information and stored (S406). In this case, the additional information may correspond to information such as a memo, a note, and an address book related to the schedule.

The terminal 100 determines whether the user requests the pattern information (S408), and when the user requests the pattern information by operating the terminal 100, the terminal 100 receives a search keyword according to the user's operation (S410). In this case, the search keywords input according to the user's operation may use various search keywords according to the invention, but search keywords by a certain topic (schedule topics such as business meetings, dinners, social gatherings), and search keywords by a certain time. It is configured to be entered in the form of a search keyword by a certain target (account 1, account 2, team members, friends A, etc.) and a search keyword () by a schedule map area (geographic areas such as Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, etc.). More preferably, a search keyword interface may be configured to be provided to the user that may enter such search keywords selectively or redundantly.

When the search keyword input of the user is finished, the terminal 100 extracts schedule information matching the input search keyword among schedule information stored in the terminal or schedule information stored in the schedule server 140 according to a user's selection (S412). In accordance with the user's selection, the extracted information is visualized or statistically processed (S414). Here, 'visualization processing' refers to the destination of each schedule information and whether or not to perform the schedule of each schedule on a map area that can include the extracted schedule information (may be displayed in letters or may be configured to be displayed in a predetermined color or symbol). If you select the destination according to the user's operation, detailed schedule information including the destination (event completion, whether the destination arrived before the notification at the time of the event, whether the destination reached after the notification, time) It means that my schedule is fulfilled, whether it reaches the destination in time, contents of schedule information, etc.). "Statistication processing" means processing to display the extracted schedule information in a chart form or a graph form to be displayed on the map area or irrelevant to the map area.

When the visualization or statistical processing of the extracted schedule information is completed, the terminal 100 outputs the pattern information by displaying the processed information on the display unit 202 (S416), and the user through the terminal 100. Through the pattern information based on the geographic information that is output, intuitive and detailed information about his / her schedule information can be obtained for more efficient schedule management.

The terminal 100 determines whether to edit the registered schedule of the user (S418), and when the user selects to edit the registered schedule by operating the terminal 100, the corresponding schedule information is extracted and input through the terminal 100. The schedule information is updated to reflect the edited contents (S420 and S422). In this case, as described above, when the schedule between the schedule server 140 and the terminal 100 is configured to interwork in real time, the terminal 100 transmits the updated schedule information to the schedule server 140 to schedule the server 140. Update the contents of the schedule stored in).
