Therefore, the following description and the accompanying drawings are merely exemplary of the present invention and are not intended to be exhaustive of the technical idea of the present invention, so that various equivalents and modifications may be made thereto at the time of the present application . Also, in the accompanying drawings, some of the elements are exaggerated, omitted or schematically shown, and the size of each element does not entirely reflect the actual size. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited by the relative size or spacing depicted in the accompanying drawings.

The schedule management method and apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to a multimedia device such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, a TV, a navigation device, and a video phone. The present invention can also be applied to a device in which a multimedia device is fused (e.g., a refrigerator having a communication function and a touch screen).

Hereinafter, a schedule management method and apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

In the present invention, 'keypad background' means a background of a keypad displayed on a touch screen. The keypad background can be from simple colors to user-captured pictures, downloaded images, and so on. In particular, according to the present invention, the keypad background can be a calendar. If the keypad is displayed on the touch screen, the calendar corresponding to today can be displayed as the background of the keypad. That is, the calendar may be displayed as a background and the keypad may be displayed as a foreground. Of course, conversely, the calendar may be displayed in the foreground with the keypad as the background. Wherein at least one of the keypad and the calendar needs to be correctly recognized by the user. That is, the keypad and the calendar must be distinguishable from each other. For example, the date and day of the calendar may be blurred (i.e., translucent) and each key on the keypad may be displayed relatively dark. Of course, if calendar recognition is more important, the opposite might be true. In another example, the color of the date and day (eg, blue) may be different from the color of the key (eg, red). As another example, the date and key may be displayed so that they do not overlap with each other (i.e.

In the present invention, the 'calendar' may be expressed in units of day, week, month or year. That is, the keypad background may be displayed as a day, a week, or a month. In the calendar today can be highlighted. For example, today's colors can be different from or different from other days. In another example, a symbol (for example, a box shape) for indicating today may be displayed at a position corresponding to today. In addition, "the day the schedule is registered" in the calendar can also be emphasized.

On the touch screen, the keypad disappears and only the calendar can be displayed. For example, when the user taps the keypad, the device can display the calendar except for the keypad. When a user selects a specific date (eg, tab) on the calendar, the device can display schedule information for that date. Of course, the calendar disappears from the touchscreen and only the keypad is visible. For example, if the user taps the keypad twice in succession, the device can display the keypad except for the calendar.

On the other hand, a background may be referred to as a skin or a theme. The background may also be referred to as another term if the meaning is as described above.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a schedule management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 3 to 6 are diagrams for explaining a schedule management method according to the present invention.

2 to 6, the touch screen 110 may display an application execution screen, for example, an execution screen 310 of a text message service under the control of the controller 160. [ The control unit 160 may detect the first user gesture from the touch screen 110. [ In step 210, the controller 160 determines whether the first user gesture is "a gesture requesting display of the keypad ". For example, when the control unit 160 detects a tab for the message input window 311 on the execution screen 310, the control unit 160 determines the tab as an input (gesture) requesting the display of the keypad.

If the first user gesture is an input requesting display of the keypad, the controller 160, in step 215, determines whether to make the keypad background a 'calendar' in response to the first user gesture. For example, when the setting information stored in the storage unit 130 is checked, the controller 160 determines the background of the keypad as a calendar when the background of the keypad is preset as a calendar. Otherwise, the control unit 160 determines the background of the keypad as a background other than the calendar. If so, the control unit 160 controls the touch screen 110 to display the keypad on a different background in step 220. [ For example, a keypad may be displayed on a sky blue image.

If the keypad background is determined as a calendar, the controller 160 may control the touch screen 110 to display the calendar 320 and display the keypad 330 thereon, as shown in FIG. 3, . The calendar 320 may include a first area 321 that overlaps the keypad 330 and a second area 322 that is not overlapped with the keypad 330. [ In the first area 321, dates are displayed on a day, week, or month basis. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the first area 321 displays the date and the day of the month, and the second area 322 displays the month information (for example, March 2012). The date and day of the week displayed in the first area 321 should be distinguishable from the key of the keypad 330 when viewed by the user. For example, the date and day of the week may be displayed relatively blurry (translucently) compared to the key. In another example, the color of the date and day may be different from the color of the key. As another example, the date and key may be displayed without overlapping each other. On the other hand, the day (for example, 19 days) and the day on which the schedule is registered (for example, 22 days) in the first area 321 can be emphasized as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG.

The control unit 160 may detect the second user gesture from the touch screen 110 while the calendar 320 and the keypad 330 are displayed together as described above. In step 230, the control unit 160 determines whether the second user gesture is "a gesture requesting display of only the calendar 320 excluding the keypad 330 ". For example, when the calendar 320 detects a tab for the second area 322, the control unit 160 determines the tab as an input (gesture) requesting display of only the calendar 320 excluding the keypad 330 do.

If the second user gesture is an input (e.g., a tab for the second region 322) requesting an indication of only the calendar 320, the controller 160, in step 235, The touch screen 110 may be controlled to display only the touch screen. At this time, the calendar 320 is displayed blurred (that is, when it is displayed as the background of the keypad 330), but is now displayed alone, so that it can be displayed relatively darker than before. The second area 322 of the calendar 320 may also include a return key 322a for returning to the previous position. That is, the touch screen 110 may display the return key 322a under the control of the control unit 160. [

The controller 160 may detect the third user gesture from the touch screen 110 while only the calendar 320 is being displayed as shown in FIG. In step 240, the control unit 160 determines whether or not the third user gesture is "a gesture requesting the calendar 320 to display schedule information of a specific date ". For example, when the control unit 160 detects a selection (e.g., a tab) for a specific date (e.g., 22 days in FIG. 4) on the calendar 320, the control unit 160 displays the tab as an input (gesture) .

If the third user gesture is an input for requesting viewing of schedule information (e.g., a tab for "22 days with schedule information" as shown in FIG. 4), the controller 160, in step 245, And controls the touch screen 110 to display information. For example, schedule information called "3 pm patent related meeting" may be displayed in the second area 322 as shown in FIG. At this time, if the day without schedule information is selected, the second area 322 may be blank. Also, when a day without schedule information is selected, a schedule registration screen for registering the schedule on the selected day may be displayed.

The control unit 160 may detect the fourth user gesture from the touch screen 110 while the predetermined information is displayed as described above. In step 250, the control unit 160 determines whether the fourth user gesture is "a gesture requesting a schedule registration ". For example, when the controller 160 detects a tab for the second area 322 in which certain information is displayed as shown in FIG. 5, the controller 160 determines the tab as an input (gesture) requesting a schedule registration.

If the fourth user gesture is an input requesting a schedule registration, the controller 160 controls the touch screen 110 to display a schedule registration screen as shown in FIG. The control unit 160 stores the schedule information input through the schedule registration screen in the storage unit 130. FIG.

On the other hand, if the third user gesture is not an input for requesting viewing of the schedule information or if the fourth user gesture is not an input for requesting a schedule registration, the controller 160 controls the third user gesture or the fourth user gesture Is a gesture requesting "return (i.e., display of keypad 330) ". For example, when the control unit 160 detects a tab for the return key 322a, the control unit 160 determines the tab as an input for requesting a return. If the third user gesture or the fourth user gesture is a gesture requesting a return, the process returns to step 225. That is, under the control of the controller 160, the touch screen 110 displays the calendar 320 as a background of the keypad 330.

7 is a flow chart for explaining the environment setting in the apparatus according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, in step 710, the controller 160 may control the touch screen 110 to display a home screen. Here, the home screen includes icons corresponding to the environment settings. In step 720, the controller 160 may detect a user's selection (e.g., a tab) of the icon corresponding to the environment setting on the home screen. If the user's selection is detected, the controller 160 displays the configuration screen on the touch screen 110 of the device 100 in step 730. The items included in the environment setting screen vary widely depending on the performance of the apparatus 100 and the functions provided in the apparatus 100. [ For example, the configuration screen may include items such as keypad settings, wireless network, location services, sound, display and security, and the like. In step 740, the controller 160 may display the keypad setting screen on the touch screen 110. That is, the user can set the use environment of the keypad (i.e., soft keypad), in particular, the keypad background through the keypad setting screen. The information thus set is stored in the storage unit 130. The controller 160 controls the display of the keypad based on the setting information.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a screen for setting an environment of a device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8A, the touch screen 110 may display a keypad setting screen under the control of the controller 160. For example, the keypad setting screen may include items such as a setting of a recommended word display, a setting of a keypad background, a download of a keypad background, a font setting and a size setting. In these items, the user can touch the keypad background setting. Then, the controller 160 controls the touch screen 110 to display the keypad background setting screen. Referring to FIG. 8 (b), the touch screen 110 may display a keypad background setting screen under the control of the controller 160. For example, the keypad background setting screen may include items such as a glow, a waterdrop, a sky, a tree, a castle, and a calendar. The keypad backgrounds corresponding to these items may be downloaded from the outside through the wireless communication unit 140 or the wired communication unit. The calendar can be set as the keypad background. In this case, when the keypad is displayed, the control unit 160 determines the background as a calendar. On the other hand, if the user does not set the keypad background separately, the keypad background can be automatically set to the calendar.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a schedule management method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

9, in step 910, the touch screen 110 displays a keypad on a background (e.g., a castle) other than the calendar under the control of the control unit 160. [ The control unit 160 can detect the first user gesture from the touch screen 110 during the keypad display. In step 920, the controller 160 determines whether the first user gesture is "a gesture requesting the setting of the keypad background ". For example, the control unit 160 determines a long tap for the one-to-zero changeover key 331 on the keypad as a gesture requesting the setting of the keypad background.

If the first user gesture is an input requesting the setting of the keypad background, the controller 160 displays the keypad background setting screen (see FIG. 8B) on the touch screen 110 in step 930. The control unit 160 can detect the second user gesture from the touch screen 110 during the display of the keypad background setting screen. In step 940, the control unit 160 determines whether the second user gesture is "a gesture for selecting a calendar as a keypad background ". If the second user gesture is a gesture for selecting a calendar, the control unit 160 sets a calendar as a keypad background and stores the setting information in the storage unit 130. [ Then, in step 950, the control unit 160 controls the touch screen 110 to display the keypad on the calendar.
