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

Referring to FIG. 2, when a schedule list view is selected in the portable terminal, the controller 110 detects this in step 201 and determines a time zone setting of the portable terminal.

If the time zone of the portable terminal is automatically set, the controller 110 detects this in step 202 and extracts the current time zone received through the RF unit 123 and stored in the memory 130. The controller 110 compares the extracted current time zone with the time zone of the schedule information actually input for each of the schedule information stored in the memory 130.

As a result of the comparison, if the current time zone does not match the time zone of the actually input schedule information for the corresponding schedule information, the controller 110 detects this in step 203 and changes the schedule information to the current time zone for the corresponding schedule information. In step 204, the schedule information is displayed.

However, if the time zone of the current time zone matches the time zone of the actually input schedule information for the corresponding schedule information, the controller 110 detects this in step 203 and converts the corresponding schedule information into the schedule information changed to the current time zone. Proceed to step 205 to display.

3A through 3C, the process of FIG. 3A is performed by a user of a mobile terminal in Korea from Friday, November 5, 2010 (start) to 2 pm (end) in London Dublin (actually). The schedule information for the conference call held in the input schedule information time slot) is shown.

For example, the time zone set in FIG. 3A is set on a GMT basis.

When the user selects a schedule list view in Korea after storing the schedule information created in FIG. 3A, the current time zone (Korea) where the mobile terminal is located and the time zone (London Dublin) actually input by the user in FIG. 3B, schedule information (a) changed to Korean time, which is the current time zone, and schedule information (b) actually input by the user in FIG. 3a. Is displayed together. In the schedule information (a), "Friday, November 5, 2010, 9:00 pm (starting) to 10:00 pm" information is displayed. In the schedule information (b), information actually input by the user is displayed. “GMT + 0: 00 London Dublin” is displayed from Friday, November 5, 2010 until 2pm (end).

Alternatively, if the user of the mobile terminal moves to London and then selects a schedule list view after storing the schedule information created in FIG. 3A, the current time zone in which the mobile terminal is located (London) and the user in FIG. Since the input time zones (London) match, the schedule list may display only the schedule information (c) changed to London time, which is the current time zone, for the schedule information as shown in FIG. 3C.

As described above, when the time zone of the mobile terminal is automatically set, when the current time zone and the time zone of the actually input schedule information are different, the schedule information in the schedule list is changed to the current time zone and the actual time zone for the corresponding schedule information. By displaying the input schedule information together, it is possible to intuitively know the schedule information actually input by the user.

Alternatively, if the time zone of the portable terminal is set manually, the controller 110 detects this in step 206 and extracts the time zone selected by the user and stored in the memory 130.

In the process of creating the schedule information, if the "schedule time zone setting" menu is selected by the user and the "use the selected time zone" menu is selected and checked, the user may select a desired time zone from the "time zone selection" menu. Then, the controller 110 stores the "time zone" selected by the user in the "time zone selection" menu in the memory 130.

The controller 110 compares a time zone selected by the user with a time zone of schedule information actually input for each schedule information stored in the memory 130.

As a result of the comparison, if the time zone selected by the user and the time zone of the actually input schedule information for the corresponding schedule information do not match, the controller 110 detects this in step 207, and the user determines the corresponding schedule information by the user. In step 208, the schedule information changed to the selected time zone and the actual input schedule information are displayed together.

However, if the time zone selected by the user coincides with the time zone of the actual input schedule information for the corresponding schedule information, the controller 110 detects this in step 207 and selects the corresponding schedule information by the user. In step 209, the schedule information is changed to the time zone.

As described above, as the time zone of the portable terminal is manually set, the user may manage schedule information in a time zone selected by the user regardless of the current time zone. In addition, when the time zone selected by the user and the time zone of the actually input schedule information are different, the schedule list displays the schedule information changed to the time zone selected by the user and the schedule information actually input for the corresponding schedule information. The user can intuitively know the schedule information actually input by the user.

In the above description of the present invention, a specific embodiment such as a mobile terminal has been described, but various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be defined by the described embodiments, but should be determined by the equivalent of claims and claims.
