Many people use a schedule management application program that has excellent usability and convenience to manage schedules. The calendar application for schedule management runs on various mobile devices, such as smart phones, tablets, and wearable devices such as watches, and computers, including notebooks, so that users can easily enter schedules and conveniently identify schedules. On the other hand, although various applications have been used in mobile devices and computers in recent years, data linkage between applications is often disconnected, and people have the trouble of opening different applications separately to obtain information. Even in the case of a schedule management application, there is a hassle of opening another application each time to find related information while using the application.

In particular, it is often the case that an event is coordinated in an application such as a messenger or e-mail before confirming the event, and then the event is input to the calendar. However, since the messenger service and the calendar for schedule management are not interlocked, it is not easy to directly refer to a conversation or e-mail that was shared in the past while checking the schedule in the schedule management application. In other words, in order to check conversations or e-mails related to the schedule, a messenger app, etc. must be opened and searched separately or searched for memory, which is very cumbersome and takes a lot of time and effort to find.

Moreover, users often decide the schedule after searching various information through search. For example, in order to make a travel itinerary, a travel destination is searched using a web browser or YouTube, and an itinerary is made based on the search result. If there is no memo or web creep, information related to the search result in the future Difficult to find again.

Recently, Google automatically creates an event on the calendar when an airplane reservation e-mail arrives, and provides a link between the calendar's event and the e-mail, but it is difficult to apply to e-mails from users in general. Reference). A calendar app called Tempo has shown the ability to show recent news from Twitter or Facebook of attendees attending a selected event (see Figure 2).

However, these conventional applications are limited in promoting user convenience because they provide limited information in a very limited format, and there is no application that easily provides various information related to a selected event within the calendar of the schedule management application. It was difficult to find information.

It might be.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user selects a specific event in a state in which a calendar screen is displayed by running a calendar app, a page displaying detailed items of the event is opened, and a predetermined area of the page The related information list is sorted and displayed in (Related Information Area). That is, when the user selects an area of a specific event in the calendar using a touch or a predetermined gesture or voice, a schedule detail page is displayed, and information related to the event is displayed. At this time, the information to be displayed may include e-mail, messenger, site visit history, etc., and the information to be imported depends on whether or not the target service to be connected is connected in the calendar set by the user in advance.

A method of automatically displaying information related to an event in a calendar includes displaying the event on a calendar screen; Displaying details of a specific schedule selected by the user; And sorting and displaying a list of information related to the specific schedule in a predetermined area of the screen displaying the details.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, a method of providing related information on a selected event in a calendar will be described in more detail in terms of an interface. The left drawing of FIG. 5 shows when the schedule detail page is first opened, and the middle drawing It shows the screen when the related information is retrieved from the server and partially displayed. The drawing on the right is a screen in a state where more related information is displayed and confirmed when the screen is pulled up by a touch or mouse drag, voice instruction, etc.

When the user selects a schedule, a schedule detail page is displayed as shown in the left figure of FIG. 5. The detailed page may include ① schedule title, ② schedule time, ③ attendees, ④ location, and ⑤ memo information. When the detail page is displayed, the user starts searching for related information in the management server 100, targeting data on the service (see FIG. 6) that the user has previously connected. At this time, the ⑥ indicator indicating that the search is in progress may be displayed. When a search result is displayed, it is displayed at the bottom of the screen, and when the user drags the screen to check more information, all search information is displayed. The related information shown here may include the user's ⑦ email, ⑧ messenger, ⑨ photo, ⑩ consumption history, ⑪ website visit record, chat message, etc.

Meanwhile, FIG. 6 shows a connection service setting page of a calendar, and may select target service programs to be linked in a setting screen of a calendar application program executed on a user device. When a user selects each service from the 'connection' menu and logs in, the management server 100 accesses the server or device providing the service and receives user data from the service when connecting for the first time, and then connects the service at regular intervals Synchronize and receive the latest data from the service server. Data of the user received from the server of the connection service, that is, mail, messenger data is stored in the data storage 101 of the management server 100, and when the user selects a specific schedule, the search module 106 is related to the selected schedule Information is searched and provided for data stored in the data storage 101, and the control unit 110 transmits the information to the user device through the communication unit. The services shown in FIG. 6 are representative service lists, and related data services such as mail, messenger, chat, and site visit records may also be added.

That is, after a connection setting and synchronization operation, when a user selects a specific event on the calendar screen, the user device displays a list of information related to the event using the interface screen as shown in FIG. 5, and long-presses the displayed specific information or When touched once, the corresponding service application is opened and the corresponding information is displayed.

Hereinafter, a method of providing information related to an event selected by a user in a calendar will be described in detail. The calendar of the user terminal 200 is linked to the management program of the management server 100 and related information providing programs, and when a specific event is selected in the calendar, data on a connection service previously connected by the user when a detailed page appears. The target management server 100 starts to search for related information. At this time, data for the connection service to be searched is stored in advance in the data storage 101 of the management server by a synchronization process.

Referring to FIG. 7, when an algorithm for retrieving related information of a connection service is described, when a specific event is selected in the calendar, the management server 100 transmits summary information including the user information and the selected event information from the user terminal through the communication unit. Receiving, the control unit checks the summary information with reference to the data storage 101. Then, the connection service is checked using the summary information (user ID) with reference to the connection module 102, and then the related information is retrieved from the connection service DB stored in the data storage 101 based on the schedule information. Here, the search (⑫) is executed by the search module 106 according to the command of the control unit, the search method may be different depending on the connected service, and when a plurality of services are connected, a search for each service data may be performed at the same time. . When the search module 106 transmits the corresponding search result value to the control unit, the control unit transmits the result value to the user terminal, and accordingly, the related information area of the calendar's schedule detail item page, for example, a list of related information at the bottom. Is displayed. And when the relevant information is selected, the corresponding service application is loaded on the calendar screen, and the entire contents of the related information are displayed.

On the other hand, as shown in ⑬ of FIG. 8, the keyword of the corresponding schedule information for the search is segment text derived through morpheme analysis of the schedule title or the memo of the schedule, and additionally schedule details such as time, place, and participants Items are included. If the morpheme analyzer 107 derives the segmented text by morphologically analyzing the schedule title or memo for the selected schedule and stores it in the morpheme analysis result storage 108, the search module 106 can use this to search. In order to improve the performance of the system of the present invention, the morpheme analysis result may be stored in the morpheme analysis result storage unit 102 in advance by turning the morpheme analyzer when the corresponding schedule is normally stored.

The search step will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG. 8 is an algorithm for retrieving mail associated with a selected schedule when the connection service is a mail service, and segmented text of 'presentation data' and 'deadline' through morphological analysis from the title of the schedule of 'presentation data closing' in FIG. Can be derived, and the detailed items of time 'July 21, 13:00 AM', place 'Seocho-dong 1657-5', and segmented text for memo details can be derived (text derivation process in ⑬). Then, OR search is performed on the mail DB of the user of the data storage 101 using the corresponding text (segmented title, text and time, place of the memo) and then listed. In this case, the higher the score, the higher the score is included in each searched message, and the higher the priority of the list. In addition, if there is a participant in the schedule in the schedule information, the priority may be changed by assigning additional points according to the number of mails and whether they are included in the send list. In order to make the search more efficient, the time range can be narrowed by limiting the search range to the last three months.

In the same way, as shown in FIG. 9, the search module 106 can access the chat data DB of the data storage 101 to search the chat history, and the result value will be specific messages in the chat history. The search for the chat history derives the search text in the same way as the mail search, and performs search and scoring on the chat DB of the data storage 101. If there is an attendee of the schedule in the schedule information, the priority may be changed by assigning an additional score according to whether or not it is included in the chat message creator list.

In order to make the search more efficient, the time range can be narrowed by limiting the search range to the last three months. In addition, if there is an attendee listed in the attendee column of the details of the schedule, the chat group containing the attendant is searched first, and the attendee name or meeting name is extracted as text through morpheme analysis of the schedule title or memo , Searching for a chat group name or a member name of a chat group is performed first, and messages of the chat group are searched first. Through this process, it is possible to improve search efficiency for chat messages.

10 is to bring related information from the site visit history previously visited by the user. The text is derived by morphological analysis in the same manner as the mail search, and the search and scoring are performed on the page information of the internet visit record. Site visit history data may be stored in the data storage 101, but may also be stored in a separate storage. 11 exemplarily shows a site visit history list searched by the above method.

Referring to FIG. 12, advertisement data associated with additional information related to a user service connected when a schedule detail page is displayed may be displayed. FIG. 12 is an example of showing advertisements related to a schedule of 'finished data', and the logic of searching for advertisements is shown in FIG. 13. Usually, when an advertiser posts advertisement information in an advertisement platform, detailed description or advertisement keyword information associated with the advertisement is entered as metadata. Therefore, an OR search is performed in the advertisement database using text derived from the user's schedule information. The more text derived from the advertisement information is included, the higher the ranking can be given.

When checking the contents of the schedule, the user can refer to various information related to the schedule, and the search algorithm can also be applied to categories such as described mail, messenger, music, exercise information, and use of related apps.

A method of providing related information about a selected schedule in a calendar according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described below. When a predetermined input (touch or slide a specific event) for selecting a specific event is detected on the event display screen of the calendar of the user terminal, the management server 100 that receives a request to search related information including the selected event information from the user terminal is related Search for information and send the search result value to the user terminal. The calendar may display a list of information related to the specific event at the bottom of the page screen displaying the details of the event in a priority order according to the result value or in another predetermined related information display area.

At this time, the search includes deriving the segmented text by analyzing the morpheme of the schedule title; Searching for related information items using segmented text in connection service data of mail or chat; Classifying only the information items within a predetermined period, for example, within 2 months or 3 months, from a specific schedule time among the searched information items; An additional classification step of classifying information items related to the details from the classified information items; And assigning a priority to each information item in the additional classification step. When displaying a list of information related to a specific schedule, the information items are displayed in the order of highest priority.

Referring to FIG. 14, the mail search comprises deriving the segmented text by analyzing the morpheme of the schedule title and memo; Searching the associated mail data DB for the relevant mails using the segmented text as a search term for only mails within a predetermined period based on the date of creation of the schedule; Checking whether a schedule attendee is included in the searched related mail, and when a schedule attendee is included, assigning a predetermined score to the corresponding mail; Checking whether a predetermined place is included in the searched e-mail and assigning a predetermined score when the predetermined place is included; And summing the scores respectively assigned to the related mails to calculate a final score and ranking each related mail according to a high score. And returning the searched related mail information and ranking as a result value. And transmitting the searched related information to the user terminal so that the search result can be displayed in the related information area of the calendar.
