DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for processing a schedule remind notification in a schedule management system, a schedule management device, and a recording medium recording a remind notification program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of notifying a schedule reminder in a schedule management system such as an electronic organizer, a method of sounding an alarm sound immediately before each schedule or displaying an alarm window on a display screen has been adopted. Was.

[0003] Therefore, in order to grasp the schedule of the day every morning, there is a disadvantage that the user must voluntarily display and confirm the schedule of the day. In addition, since a remind notification is not issued until immediately before each schedule, especially when a schedule is set up, an audible alarm sounds frequently, which has a drawback of being complicated.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to enable a schedule management system to efficiently provide a user with a schedule remind notice. .

[0005]

According to the present invention, when a notification time coincides with a remind notification condition managed by a notification management unit, an editing unit sends a notification that matches a remind notification condition managed by the notification management unit. The most important feature is that the content of the notification included in the period is edited, and the notification execution unit performs the remind notification by the notification unit that matches the remind notification condition managed by the notification management unit.

The difference from the prior art is that the user can set the notification time, notification period, notification content, and notification means of the remind notification. In particular, when setting the notification time,
For example, the time at which the remind notification is performed can be set by a combination of daily, weekly, monthly, a specified day, a specified day of the week, a day excluding a specific day of the week, and a specified time (hour and minute).

In the setting of the notification period, the period of the schedule from which the remind notification is to be extracted can be set for one day, one week, one month, or the like. In the setting of the notification content, the editing content of the remind notification can be set by using all schedule information included in the notification period, only date and time, and location extracted from all schedule information included in the notification period.

As the notification means, an output unit of a schedule management device, a facsimile terminal, an e-mail terminal, a pager, and the like can be set, and a remind notification is given by a combination of these priorities. Can also be set to

Has a function to send e-mail.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the remind notification condition includes a notification time, a notification period, a notification content, and a notification means registered in advance by each user 11 (U1, U2,...).

The notification time is defined as daily, weekly, monthly,
This is information that defines the time at which the remind notification is to be performed by a combination of ○ hour, 分 minute, etc. other than 曜 日 day, 曜 日 day, etc. The notification period is information that defines a period of a schedule for which a remind notification is to be extracted, such as one day, one week, and one month.

The notification content is information that defines the editing content of the remind notification, such as extracting all the schedule information included in the notification period and extracting only the date and time and location from all the schedule information included in the notification period.

The notification means is the schedule management device 10
To the FAX terminal 14 with the number XX, to the e-mail terminal 15 with the address XX, to the pager with the number XX, or a combination of these with a priority order. This is information that defines the means.

[0017] The contents of the schedule may be the following: schedule information such as "month / day / hour / minute- △ hour / minute / xx meeting in hall". The same applies to schedule information with a time limit, such as so-called ToDo information.

The editing unit 6 extracts all the schedules included in the notification period of the notification time and simply arranges the schedules, or the constituent elements (date and time, location, etc.) of each extracted schedule.
May be selectively edited and arranged.

The facsimile transmission unit 8 may be configured by applying a known technique for performing facsimile transmission from a computer to a public communication network through a subscriber line. The electronic mail transmitting unit 9 may be configured by applying a known technique for transmitting an electronic mail from a computer to a public communication network through a subscriber line.
