In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes the steps of: transmitting a stored appointment message in a short message to a receiver terminal in a group when a notification time of a schedule input by a user at the sender terminal; Outputting an appointment message received at the receiver terminal, preparing a response message according to the receiver's intention, and transmitting the message to the sender terminal; The sender terminal collects a response message transmitted from the receiver terminal in the group to confirm attendance and transmits a message indicating the presence of an appointment.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary view illustrating an operation flow of transmitting an appointment message in a sender terminal according to the present invention, as shown in the drawing, determining whether a user selects an appointment service after inputting a schedule; When the user selects the appointment service and inputs data for the appointment message, converting the appointment service into a format according to a predefined document type definition; When the schedule notification time is reached, the appointment message is included in a short message and transmitted to a receiver terminal in the group.

Suppose a user enters a calendar, then selects an appointment service and composes an appointment message.

First, the user specifies the recipient to whom the appointment message is to be delivered. In this case, a group selection method is used to collectively designate recipients.

The appointment message defines a Document Type Definition (DTD) based on the standard universal document generation language (SGML) protocol for delivery to a recipient terminal and output in a certain format.

In the appointment message, there is data indicating a subject, a place, a time, and whether to attend.

For each data, define the tag's name, hierarchy, and attributes. For example, if you define the title, place, time, attendance as the name of the tag in the appointment request, and yes or no as the attributes of attendance, it can be expressed as shown in Table 1 below.

<! ELEMENT Appointment Request (Title, Place, Time, Attendance)> <! ELEMENT Subject #PCDATA> <! ELEMENT Place #PCDATA> <! ELEMENT Time #PCDATA> <! ELEMENT Attendance #PCDATA> <! ATTLIST Yes CDATA #REQUIREDNo CDATA #REQUIRED>

When the user inputs data in the title, place, and time input window, the sender terminal reads the input data, converts the data into a format according to the document type definition defined above, and sends a short message to the receiver terminal in the group when the notification time comes. do.

The appointment message created by the sender terminal is described with reference to Table 2 below.

<Request> <Title> U8100 SP Meeting </ Title> <Place> New Building 2nd Meeting Room </ Place> <Time> 3:30 PM </ Time> <Attendance Yes = "Yes" No = "No" > </ Attendance> </ Request>

The sender terminal transmits the format illustrated in Table 2 to the receiver terminal, and the terminal receiving the parser outputs the appointment message on the display window through parsing through the DTD reader.

2 is an exemplary view showing an operation flow of confirming an appointment message in a receiver terminal according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, an appointment message received from a transmitter terminal is delivered to a DTD reader for parsing, and an appointment message is output to a display window. Steps; Writing a response message corresponding to the pressed key when the recipient confirms the appointment message and presses a key to display his / her intention; Transmitting the response message to the sender terminal.

The receiver terminal delivers the appointment message received from the sender terminal to the DTD reader for parsing and outputs the appointment message on the display window. The DTD reader parses the formatted data according to the document type definition and outputs it in a certain format.

As an example of the character output format used in this document type definition, a title, place, and time are output in order in the output window surrounded by a rounded border as shown in FIG.

The recipient acknowledges the appointment message and presses the Attendance, Absent softkey to indicate his or her intention. The called terminal composes a response message in response to the pressed attendance or absent softkey.

The response message is prepared according to the document type definition for the appointment response. In the appointment response, the tag name defines the appointment response, yes or no. This is shown in Table 3 below.

<! ELEMENT Promise Reply (Yes | No)> <! ELEMENT Yes #EMPTY> <! ELEMENT No #EMPTY>

For example, when the receiver presses the attendance softkey, the receiver terminal composes a response message of the form shown in Table 4 below and sends it to the sender terminal.

<Promise reply> <Yes> </ Yes> </ Promise reply>

The sender terminal receives the response message sent from the receiver terminal and collects the receiver's opinion.
