As shown in FIG. 2, the user can intuitively recognize that there is an unconfirmed notification message on the weather menu 210 and the schedule menu 220 on the menu screen 200. If the weather menu 210 is selected by the user, the notification related to the weather may be displayed on the lower side of the weather menu 210 as shown in FIG.

 The menu screen 200 may include a menu add button 260 and may add a new menu using the menu add button 260 or may remove a menu already included in the menu screen 200. [

The menu screen 200 according to the present invention may include a voice recognition button 270 and a user setting button 280. [

If the voice recognition button 270 is selected, the mobile device 100 operates in the voice recognition mode, and the mobile device 100 can control the menu screen 200 according to the voice command of the user. For example, if the user clicks the voice recognition button 270 and then speaks "weather menu", the weather menu 210 may appear unfolded. If there are a plurality of speech recognition results according to voice input, a predetermined voice recognition selection pop-up window that can be selected by the user may be displayed. The user can select a desired item through the displayed speech recognition selection pop-up window and perform the corresponding function. For example, if a voice is input in the "weather menu", the speech recognition selection popup window may include choices such as "open weather menu", "close weather menu", "weather menu job", "weather menu settings" have.

The user setting button 280 may be used for setting the initial menu screen 200. For example, when the user clicks the user setting button 280, a predetermined unified notification setting menu may be displayed. The user can set options such as date of birth and gender of the user, home / work / school address information, notification exposure method, notification notification method, initialization of notification preference, subscription to the notification exposure control service, and withdrawal through the integrated notification setting menu have.

Here, the date of birth and gender information may be used to filter and provide a corresponding notification message according to age and gender.

The notification exposure method may include at least one of a notification method such as a pop-up exposure, a notification bar exposure, a badge exposure, and a tile exposure, and the user can select and set at least one desired notification exposure method.

The notification notification method relates to a method of notifying a user of auditory and / or tactile notification when a notification is made, and the user can select one of or a combination of sound effect (sound), vibration, have.

The notification preference initialization means initializing the feedback information of the collected user, and the user can set the initialized user feedback information to be initialized.

Notification The exposure control service subscription and withdrawal are options for executing or stopping the notification exposure control service according to the present invention.

In addition, the user can select a menu to be included in the menu screen 200 through the integrated notification setting menu. In addition, the user can set the importance level for each menu according to personal preference through the integrated notification setting menu. At this time, the mobile device 100 or the notification exposure control server may set an initial notification exposure level for each menu selected by the user according to the importance level set by the user.

In addition, predetermined parameters used for raising or lowering the notification exposure level of the menu may be set differently according to the type of the menu and the importance of the menu. Here, the parameter may be a parameter applied to the notification exposure control algorithm.

For example, as a reference parameter for raising (raising) or lowering (lowering) the notification exposure level, there are a cumulative positive feedback count corresponding to the corresponding menu, a cumulative negative feedback count, a continuously received positive feedback count , The number of continuously received negative feedback, and the like. Here, it should be noted that the threshold value for the reference parameter may be set differently according to the type of the menu and the importance of the corresponding menu.

For example, if the schedule menu is more important than the weather menu, the schedule menu may have a threshold value for the number of consecutive positive feedback times corresponding to the schedule menu so that the notification exposure level can be adjusted more quickly than the weather menu. It can be set to a relatively small value compared to that of the menu.

On the other hand, the threshold value for the number of consecutive negative feedbacks for the schedule menu may be set to a relatively large value in comparison with the weather menu so that the notification exposure level can be adjusted more slowly.

5 is a view for explaining a change of a user interface screen according to an execution button selection in a popup notification window according to another embodiment of the present invention.

5, when the execution button 305 of the pop-up notification window 300 is selected (i.e., Tap), the pop-up notification window 410 may disappear while being blurred S520). Subsequently, after a predetermined time elapses, the menu screen 200 may be displayed. At this time, a menu icon corresponding to the notification message in which the pop-up display has been displayed can be placed on the top of the menu screen 200 on the displayed menu screen 200 and emphasized so that the menu icon can be intuitively identified (S530). Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses, the highlighted menu icon is switched to the normal state, and the details of the menu may be expanded and displayed (S540).

For example, the pop-up notification window 410 in step 510 may include a predetermined schedule information string such as "There is a house at 7 o'clock, The traffic guide information from the current location (company) to the house may be included in the details of the schedule menu, as shown in step 540. [

FIG. 6 is a view for explaining a method of calculating a predetermined guidance start time according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the start time of the schedule guide for the schedule may be calculated based on at least one of the estimated travel time to the destination corresponding to the schedule, the mobile transportation means to the destination, and the gender of the user. Hereinafter, a method for determining a predetermined guidance start time will be described in detail based on an estimated travel time to a destination and a gender.

The schedule information preset by the user may include at least one of schedule information, schedule start time information, moving means information to the predetermined schedule, and participant information.

Here, the moving means may include a public transportation means such as a bus or a subway, a self-driving means such as a car, a bicycle, etc., and a walk.

The parameter used to calculate the schedule start point in accordance with the present invention may include Alpha 610, Beta 620, and Gamma 630.

Herein, the alpha 610 is a parameter indicating how soon the first schedule guidance service should be started based on a point in time at which the movement to the corresponding schedule place should be started so as not to be late to the schedule.

As shown in reference numeral 640, the alpha 610 may be defined in a predetermined table form based on an estimated travel time to a destination (a predetermined place) and gender.

For example, if the expected travel time to the destination is less than one hour and the user's gender is male, alpha 610 may be defined as two hours. That is, the first schedule guidance message may be provided to the user two hours before the start of the movement to the destination. On the other hand, in the case of the user who is the gender of the user under the same condition, the value of alpha (610) may be defined as 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The beta 620 means a time required for the travel to the boarding point of the public transportation means when the means of transport is public transportation means. As shown at 650, the beta 620 may be defined based on the expected travel time to the destination and the gender.

For example, if the estimated travel time to the destination is less than one hour, the beta 620 for each of the male and female may be defined as 5 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively. If the estimated travel time to the destination is more than one hour, the beta 620 for each of the male and female can be defined as 15 minutes and 25 minutes, respectively.

The beta 620 according to another embodiment of the present invention calculates the real time calculation by considering the expected travel time and sex to the destination as well as the actual travel distance from the current location of the user to the destination of the public transportation to be used for the travel to the destination .

In the above-described example, the case where the beta 620 is a means of transportation to a destination is described as a public transportation means. However, this is only one embodiment. In another embodiment of the present invention, It should be noted that the beta 620 corresponding to each moving means can be defined differently even in the case of a car, a bicycle, or a walk. As an example, if the means of transport is private, the beta 620 may be set based on the travel time from the current location to the parked car parked.

The gamma 630 indicates a time required for the user to travel to the destination after arriving near the destination through the corresponding moving means. At this time, the gamma 630 may be set differently according to the moving means and the sex to the destination as shown in the reference numeral 660.

For example, when the used moving means is an autonomous vehicle, the gamma 630 corresponding to each male / female may be defined as 10 minutes and 15 minutes. On the other hand, when the moving means used is public transportation, the gamma 630 corresponding to each of the men and women can be defined as 15 minutes and 20 minutes.

In the above example, the gamma 630 is assigned as a fixed value according to the moving means and the gender. However, this is an example only, and another embodiment of the present invention is that the moving means is a public transportation means The gamma 630 may be determined differently according to the actual moving distance and the sex from the stop near the destination to the destination.

If the beta 620 and the estimated moving time 625 using the moving means have elapsed from the current time and the time when the gamma 630 is subtracted from the starting point of the moving start time is delayed The device 100 may display a predetermined schedule delay notification message indicating that the schedule is delayed on the screen.

For example, a delay notification message might be "about 30 minutes late at 7 o'clock. Why do not you just send a text message to Mr. Yoon? Or, "It seems to be about 30 minutes late at 7 o'clock. It is possible to use the subway instead of the car because the bus traffic is crowded." If the schedule delay notification message is displayed on the popup notification window 300 and the execution button 305 is clicked by the user, the schedule delay notification message is delayed according to the contents of the schedule delay notification message A text message input screen for notifying a user of a predetermined location may be displayed or information of a subway line to the predetermined place may be provided through the menu screen 200. [

As another example, if the beta 620 and the estimated moving time 625 using the moving means at the current time are the same as the elapsed time and the time at which the gamma 630 is subtracted from the starting point, "You must start now." May be displayed on the screen.

As another example, if the time at which the beta 620 and the estimated movement time 625 using the moving means have elapsed from the current time is earlier than the time at which the gamma 630 is subtracted at a certain starting point, " "May be displayed on the screen.

7 is a constant delay level table according to an embodiment of the present invention.

7 is a diagram for explaining a predetermined constant delay level table used for determining a period and a time point for exposing a schedule guide message on the screen according to a real time schedule delay.

7, the predetermined delay level table 700 may include at least one of a certain delay level 710 field, a schedule announcement message display period 720 field, and an additional notification pattern field 740 have.

The constant delay level 710 is level identification information indicating how much the corresponding schedule is delayed. For example, Level 2 may mean that there is a relatively constant delay relative to Level 1.

Referring to FIG. 7, the schedule guide message display cycle 720 corresponding to Level 1 and Level 2 is 30 minutes, respectively. 20 minutes. That is, as the schedule is delayed, the schedule delay guide message can be controlled to be displayed on the screen more frequently. At this time, a certain delay amount may be calculated once every schedule guide message display period 720, and may be reallocated to a certain delay level according to the calculated predetermined delay amount again.

For example, Level 1 and Level 2 can each be defined as a case where there is more than 30 minutes of time on the schedule, and a case where there is more than 10 minutes to less than 30 minutes on the schedule.

If the predetermined delay level calculated at the time of departure to the destination is Level 2 and it is judged that the estimated delay time recalculated after the lapse of 20 minutes (the guide message display period 720 in Level 2) is more than 30 minutes , The constant delay level can be adjusted from Level 2 to Level 1. On the other hand, if the expected delay time increases, the certain delay level can be adjusted upward. Therefore, the exposure period of the predetermined guidance message can be adaptively controlled according to the estimated delay time to the destination at the current position.

 The additional notification pattern 730 indicates an additional notification method other than the predetermined delay notification message according to the predetermined delay level. Here, at least one of vibration, sound, and intensity change may be used as an additional notification method.

At this time, the additional notification method can be set so that the user can more easily recognize the predetermined delay condition as the predetermined delay level is higher.

Referring to FIG. 7, in Level 1, no additional notification pattern 730 is defined. In Level 4, however, a certain delay can be defined to inform the user using both vibration and sound .

In the example of FIG. 7, it is explained that the exposure period of the predetermined delay notification message can be controlled according to the schedule notification level, but this is only one embodiment. In another embodiment of the present invention, The exposure period of the predetermined delay notification message may be controlled based on the estimated travel time until the predetermined delay time.

For example, if the estimated travel time from the current location to the destination is more than one hour, the expected schedule delay time can be recalculated at 50% of the estimated travel time, and the re- May be generated and displayed. On the other hand, if the estimated travel time is less than one hour, the estimated delay time can be recalculated at the point of time when 20 minutes have elapsed.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a predetermined delay guiding method in a mobile device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the mobile device 100 calculates an estimated travel time P using predetermined transportation means to a destination corresponding to the schedule, based on the current location by schedule (S801).

The mobile device 100 calculates a predetermined estimated movement time calculation parameter corresponding to at least one of P, movement means to the destination, and user gender, which is calculated for each schedule, wherein the estimated movement time calculation parameter is the alpha 610 shown in FIG. Beta 620, and gamma 630 - from a predetermined recording area (S803).

The mobile device 100 can identify the schedule for starting the schedule guidance service using the current time information and the schedule P, the expected movement time calculation parameter, and the schedule start time (S805).

Thereafter, the mobile device 100 may generate a predetermined schedule guide message corresponding to the identified schedule and display it on the screen (S809).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a predetermined delay notification method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 9, the mobile device 100 calculates the expected travel time from the current location to the destination with respect to the schedule in which the schedule guide service starts (S901).

Here, the expected travel time may be a time obtained by adding all of the beta 620, the predicted travel time 625 using the moving means, and the gamma 630 shown in Fig.

The mobile device 100 can calculate the estimated delay time based on the difference between the time at which the estimated travel time elapses from the current time and the predetermined start time (S903).

Subsequently, the mobile device 100 determines whether the calculated estimated delay time is greater than 0 (S905).

If the estimated delay time is greater than 0, the mobile device 100 displays a predetermined pop-up notification window including a predetermined delay message informing that the schedule for the schedule is delayed (S907). At this time, a predetermined additional notification pattern 730 may be applied according to the degree of the expected delay time (i.e., the predetermined delay level 710).

In step S909, the user can switch to a predetermined text message input screen in accordance with the user input on the screen in which the pop-up notification window is displayed (e.g., when the execution button 305 is clicked). Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the text message input screen can be automatically set as a recipient of the corresponding schedule participant, and a predetermined schedule delay character string can be displayed as a default in the character input area.

When the transmission button 435 is clicked after the user inputs the text message, the mobile device 100 transmits a text message informing the arrival delay through the wireless network to the corresponding schedule participant (S911).

The mobile device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may recommend an alternative moving means based on the calculated expected delay time. For example, if the current means of transportation for a given schedule is set to private, and the start time of the day corresponds to the time of work or departure, traffic congestion may be severe.

The mobile device 100 may collect the real-time traffic situation information and calculate the expected delay time for the use of the car in consideration of the collected traffic situation information. Thereafter, based on the calculated estimated delay time, it can be determined whether or not it will be late to the schedule when using the car.

If it is determined that the schedule is late, the mobile device 100 can confirm the available public transportation means at the current location and calculate the estimated delay time to the destination using the confirmed public transportation means. At this time, when there is at least one public transportation means having an expected delay time of less than 0, the public transportation means can be recommended as an alternative transportation means. Of course, when there are a plurality of public transportation means having an expected delay time of less than 0, the public transportation means having the smallest expected delay time may be recommended as an alternative transportation means.

In the above example, the public transportation means is described as an alternative transportation means for the private use, but this is merely one embodiment, and bicycle, walking, etc. may be included as an alternative transportation means.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a method of notifying a server of a notification according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, a server according to the present invention can acquire schedule information set by a user from a mobile device 100 through a wireless network (S1001).

In addition, the server can acquire the current location information of the mobile device 100 from the mobile device 100 (S1003).

The server may identify a schedule requiring a schedule notification based on the acquired schedule information and current location information, and calculate an estimated travel time to a destination corresponding to the identified schedule (S1005).

The server can calculate the estimated delay time corresponding to the difference between the time required for the expected movement calculated at the current time and the predetermined time corresponding to the identified schedule (S1007). That is, the expected delay time can be calculated by the following equation.

Equation 1:

Estimated delay time = time at which the expected travel time elapsed from the current time - schedule start time

Thereafter, the server may generate a predetermined schedule notification message corresponding to the expected delay time and transmit it to the mobile device 100 (S1009 to S1011).

11 is a block diagram illustrating an internal structure of a server for providing calendar notifications according to an embodiment of the present invention.

11, a server 1100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a controller 1110, a communication unit 1120, a required travel time calculating module 1130, a predicted delay time calculating module 1140, (S) of at least one of the schedule information generation module 1150, the schedule notification message generation module 1160, the memory 1170, and the operator console 1190.

The controller 1210 controls the overall operation and input / output of the server 1100, and can configure a user interface screen displayed on the operator console 1190.

Here, the wired network may be an Internet network, and the wireless network may be any one of a mobile communication network and a wireless Internet network.

For example, the communication unit 1120 may include a weather information providing server connected to the Internet, a traffic information providing server, a news information providing server, a portal server such as Naver, Daum, Google, Service server and the like. At this time, the received content can be used for calculating the expected travel time and generating a schedule announcement message. The created schedule notification message may be transmitted to the corresponding mobile device 100 through a mobile communication network in the form of a push message.

For example, the server 1100 can acquire real-time traffic information and weather information from the traffic information providing server and the weather information providing server, and transmits the obtained real-time traffic information and weather information to the destination corresponding to the schedule Can be used to calculate time.

The server 1100 may acquire schedule information customized from the mobile device 100 and current position information of the mobile device 100 through the communication unit 1120. [

The communication unit 1220 can receive user feedback information for controlling a certain notification from the mobile device 100 through the mobile communication network. Here, the user feedback information is collected when the notification reduction button 309 of FIG. 3 is clicked or switched to the menu screen 200 or the text message input screen through the execution button 305 of the popup notification window 300 . For example, when the alert reduction button 309 is clicked, negative feedback is collected for the schedule notification message, and when the execution button 305 is clicked, positive feedback for the schedule notification message may be received.

The server 1100 may control the number of transmissions of the schedule notification message for the schedule based on the user feedback information collected from the mobile device 100. [ For example, if there is a large amount of positive feedback for the schedule notification message for the schedule, the number of times the schedule notification message corresponding to the schedule is transmitted may be increased, and in the opposite case, the schedule notification message may be decreased.

The travel time calculation module 1130 provides means for calculating an expected travel time from the current location of the mobile device 100 to a destination corresponding to the schedule. At this time, the expected travel time can be calculated by referring to the alpha / beta / gamma tables 640 to 660 of FIG.

The expected delay time calculation module 1140 provides a means for calculating an expected delay time when moving from a current location to a destination corresponding to the schedule. Here, the expected delay time can be calculated based on the time difference between the estimated travel time calculated by the travel time calculation module 1130 at the current time and a predetermined time instant corresponding to the schedule.

At this time, the controller 1110 can dynamically determine a predetermined delay level for the schedule according to the calculated estimated delay time. In addition, the transmission period of the schedule notification message corresponding to the schedule can be controlled according to the determined schedule delay level.

In another example, the control unit 1110 may control the transmission period of the schedule notification message based on the estimated travel time calculated by the travel time calculation module 1130. [ For example, if the expected travel time is long, the transmission period of the schedule notification message may be long. On the other hand, if the estimated travel time is short, the transmission period of the schedule notification message may be short.

The schedule information database 1150 is a record area in which schedule information per user acquired from the mobile device 100 is maintained. Here, the schedule information may include information such as schedule start time, schedule place, schedule participant information linked with the address book, moving means, and the like. The schedule information database 1150 may also include gender information and address information for each user. Here, the address information may include home address information, company address information, and the like.

The schedule notification message generation module 1160 provides means for generating a predetermined schedule notification message according to a control signal of the control unit 1110. [ At this time, the control unit 1110 can adaptively generate the schedule notification message according to the scheduled delay time.

The memory 1170 can hold various parameter tables (reference numerals 640 to 670) and a predetermined delay level table 700 used in the calculation of the estimated travel time shown in FIG. 6 to FIG.

The operator console 1190 may include a screen display module and input modules such as a keyboard, a mouse, and the like. At this time, the screen display module may be configured to enable touch input.
