Method and apparatus for managing schedule of mobile communication terminal

The present invention relates to a communication terminal, and more particularly to a schedule management apparatus of the communication terminal.

Recently, with the rapid development of communication technology, there is a rapid change in the information and communication environment. Among these changes, the mobile communication terminal is becoming a necessity of modern man. In the early days of the mobile communication terminal, the mobile communication function was faithful. However, in recent years, various functions such as notepads have been added in addition to the general voice call, which is intended to increase the convenience of modern people.

However, some of the additional functions of the various mobile communication terminals are rarely used by the user. One such feature is schedule management. One of the reasons why the schedule management function in the mobile communication terminal is not used well is that the user has to input all the schedule contents one by one. This is because it takes too much. In addition, when the user inputs the schedule contents of the day at random without any special criteria, there is a problem that it becomes very difficult to retrieve the input contents later. As a result, most mobile communication users rarely use the schedule management function.

Therefore, one of the technologies proposed to solve these problems is Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0539671 (name of the invention: a schedule management method using a mobile communication terminal. Hereinafter, referred to as Prior Art 1).

In the prior art 1, a user of a mobile communication terminal can classify and input schedules by group, and thus, a technique capable of sufficiently inputting schedule contents even in short text is disclosed.

However, these schedule management apparatus and schedule management method has the following problems.

That is, the current progress status of the schedule registered in the scheduler of the mobile communication terminal is not separately indicated, and the simple schedule can be deleted or the date can be changed.

However, the existing scheduler provides limited functions such as setting the basic information such as time and contents of individual schedules and notification (or alarm) time, so that the utilization of the scheduler is insufficient when the schedule is not completed, delayed or changed. There was a problem.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a schedule management device and a management method for easily managing progress status of a schedule.

Schedule state management method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a schedule information generation step of receiving and storing a new schedule to display the status of the schedule the schedule information stored in the schedule generation step and the schedule information Waiting step of waiting for input to receive the change request of the schedule progress state included in the waiting step when the change request of the schedule state is received in the waiting step to present at least two progress status type for the progress status of the schedule, And a change step of receiving a changed schedule progress state by selectively receiving any one of at least two progress state types, and a storing step of storing the changed schedule progress state in the change step.

Here, the two or more progress status types in the change step includes at least two or more of scheduled, in progress, completed, canceled and postponed, and the presentation of the progress status type corresponds to an icon corresponding to each type of the progress status. It is made by the display, and is characterized in that it receives another input of the changed schedule progress status by selecting any one of the icons.

Here, when the schedule progress status changed in the changing step is postponement, a date and time for moving the contents of the schedule before the change to the schedule area of the changed date and time, which is inputted in the temporary date and time change input step 1 and the date and time inputted in the temporary date and change step 1, respectively. It is another feature to further include a second step of modification.

The schedule management apparatus of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a storage unit provided for storing schedule information input through the input unit for receiving schedule information stored in the schedule information storage unit Presenting at least two progress status types for the progress status of the schedule through the output unit and the output unit for outputting the schedule information, and any one of the at least two progress status types through the input unit And a schedule information management unit for receiving and updating the schedule information.

Here, the input unit and the output unit is a touch screen, and the schedule information management unit controls at least two or more of icons corresponding to each of scheduled, in progress, completed, canceled, and postponed to be displayed on the touch screen. Among other features, the schedule progress status corresponding to an icon selected through the touch screen is updated in the schedule information.

According to the present invention, since it is possible to easily manage and confirm the progress status of the schedule registered in the scheduler, it is possible to manage the schedule more effectively, thereby increasing the management efficiency of the schedule.

[Example]

2A to 2D are diagrams schematically showing a state displayed on a screen of a communication terminal by a schedule management apparatus of an integrated terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a schedule of a communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart which shows the management method schematically.

1 to 3, a schedule management method of a communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a schedule generation step, a standby step, a change step, and a storage step.

1. Schedule generation step <S110>

The schedule generation step is a step of generating and storing new schedule information input by the user to the input unit 101. For example, the user touches the touch screen to execute the schedule management device of the communication terminal. When a calendar is displayed as illustrated in FIG. 2A to receive schedule information on a screen of a communication terminal, a user selects a specific date to which schedule information is input, and displays schedule information in the schedule area of the date on the touch screen. When new schedule information such as a schedule title, date and time, progress status is input using the same input means, the schedule information management unit 103 receives the generated schedule information and generates and stores the schedule information. Create new schedule information.

2. Waiting stage <S120>

The waiting step is a step of displaying input schedule information stored in the schedule generation step and waiting for input to receive a change request of the schedule progress state included in the schedule information.

When the user wants to check the schedule or change the schedule information, the status of the schedule is displayed on the touch screen as shown in the example screen shown in FIG. 2A (S121).

In FIG. 2A, a circle icon indicating that the progress status of the current schedule is a predetermined state is displayed before the title of the schedule. (S121) When the user wants to change the progress status of the schedule, the user touches an icon indicating the progress status of the schedule. As a result, the change request of the schedule state is input to the touch screen (S123).

Of course, the user can check the schedule and end the schedule management task without changing the schedule progress status.

3. Change step <S130>

In the change step, when the request for change of the schedule status is received in the waiting step, the change schedule progress is presented by alternatively inputting at least one progress status type for the progress status of the schedule, and optionally receiving one of the at least one progress status type. This step is to receive the status.

In the waiting step S120, a request for changing a schedule state is input by touching an icon. The schedule information management unit 103 receives such a signal and presents the progress state type for the progress state of the schedule as an icon (S131). As shown in FIG. 2B, icons indicating progress of four types of schedules are displayed (S131).

By alternatively touching any one of the icons displayed on the touch screen, the user receives the progress status of the schedule corresponding to the selected icon (S133 and S134).

If the selected icon is an icon representing scheduled, in progress, completed, or canceled, the schedule information management unit 103 changes the progress status of the schedule to progress, complete, or cancel, respectively (S137).

If the user selects an icon corresponding to the postponement (S134 '), the calendar is displayed on the touch screen to receive a change date and time due to the postponement as shown in the example screen shown in FIG. 2C.

When the user touches the day corresponding to the change date and inputs the time, the change date and time due to the postponement is input. (S136) Here, the schedule area means, for example, a time zone of 24 hours from 0 o'clock of the corresponding day to 0 o'clock of the next day, where the schedule can be set.

Since the schedule information management unit 103 moves the schedule contents to the schedule area of the change date and time, there is no trouble of having to input the user again.

4. Save step <S150>

The storing step is a step of storing the schedule progress status changed in the changing step.

If the progress status of the schedule is changed in step S130, will the user save the changes? And yes or no to ask questions that can be answered selectively. If it is determined that the user has been changed correctly, select "Yes." (S141) The schedule information management unit 103 stores the progress status and schedule information of the changed schedule in the storage unit 105 according to the user's selection. (S143)

If the user determines that the input of the change date and time is incorrectly input, the user can select 'No', and in this case, the process returns to the standby step S120 again. The example screen shown in FIG. 2A is displayed and waits for user input again, and the steps described above are repeated.
