As shown in FIG. 4, the storage mode selection menu 52 is provided with items for selecting each mode of “schedule”, “memo”, “address book”, and “general”. “Schedule” indicates a mode in which URL information is registered in association with schedule data 40 handled by the schedule management unit 34, and “memo” indicates the memo management unit 36.
A mode for registering URL information in association with the memo data 42 handled by the address book management section 38 indicates that the address book data 44 handled by the address book management section 38 has a URL.
It shows a mode in which information is registered in association with information. Also,
“General” indicates a normal registration mode in which URL information is registered so as to be easily specified in the browser 30.

For example, it is assumed that "schedule" is selected in the storage mode selection menu 52 shown in FIG. 4 (step A6). In this case, the browser 30
The schedule management unit 34 of the IM 32 is activated, and a schedule screen for presenting the data registered in the schedule data 40 is displayed (step A7). FIG.
Shows an example of a state in which a schedule is displayed on the browser display screen.

In the schedule display, the contents of the event are associated with the date and time of the event and displayed as an information unit. For this schedule display,
Input device 12 (pointing device such as mouse)
The pointer 54 moved by the operation of
An information unit to be associated with the L information can be specified.

That is, when there is a homepage that provides a useful service among a plurality of homepages browsed by surfing the Internet, the contents of an event using the service provided by the homepage are displayed on a schedule. By selecting from the above, the URL information indicating the home page can be associated with the event content.

When the event content is designated in the schedule display, the browser 30 notifies the registration function 33 of the association of the URL information with the designated event content. The registration function 33, in response to the notification from the browser 30, for example, as shown in FIG.
The URL information is registered in the attached area in accordance with the contents of the designated schedule in (step A8).

As one of the functions of the schedule management section 34, an alarm function is provided. The alarm function is a function for outputting a predetermined notification (schedule alarm) when the date and time when an alarm is to be notified is specified for the schedule contents (contents of the event).

In the example shown in FIG. 6, an alarm time “10/2” is added to the schedule content “Aoi's birthday”.
“1” (time is omitted) indicates the designated state. Details of this schedule alarm will be described later.

In the schedule display, a predetermined attachment mark indicating that the URL information is related is added to the schedule content to which the URL information is related by the above-described operation. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the attached mark 56 is added to the “party” scheduled for October 25, and URL information indicating any homepage is added.
The operation for the attached mark 56 will be described later.

When the registration using the storage mode selection menu 52 is completed, the browser 30 returns to the state of displaying the home page (steps A14, A1, A1).
2). On the other hand, it is assumed that "memo" is selected in the storage mode selection menu 52 (step A6).

In this case, the browser 30 activates the memo management unit 36 of the PIM 32 to display a memo screen for presenting the data registered in the memo data 42 (step A9).

In the memo display, input memo contents are listed as information units. Alternatively, a screen for inputting a new memo may be displayed. When this memo display is displayed in a list, the information unit to be associated with the URL information can be designated by operating the input device 12 in the same manner as in the case of "schedule". .

That is, when there is a homepage that provides useful information related to the contents of a memo among a plurality of homepages browsed by surfing the Internet,
By selecting the memo contents related to the information provided by this homepage from the list, U
RL information can be associated with the memo content.

When the memo content is specified in the memo display, the browser 30 displays the URL for the specified memo content.

By selecting the memo content of “flu prevention method”, the URL of the memo content “flu prevention method” is attached to the memo content as shown in FIG.
Information “www: //ABC.co.jp” is registered.

Also, in the memo display, as shown in FIG. 8, the URL information is related to the memo content to which the URL information is related by the above-described operation. A predetermined attachment mark 62 indicating that the tag is attached is added. This attachment mark 62
The operation for is described later.

When the registration using the storage mode selection menu 52 is completed, the browser 30 returns to the state of displaying the homepage (steps A14, A1, A1).
2). It is also assumed that “address book” has been selected in the storage mode selection menu 52 (step A6).

In this case, the browser 30 activates the address book management unit 38 of the PIM 32 and displays an address recording surface for presenting the data registered in the address book data 44 (step A11).

In the address book display, names of individuals and organizations are associated with various types of information such as addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, and company names, and are listed as information units. The address book display is performed by operating the input device 12 in the same manner as in the case of the “schedule”.
An information unit (contents of a specific address book) to be associated with information can be designated.

In other words, if there is a homepage providing useful information related to the contents of the address book among a plurality of homepages browsed by surfing the Internet, the homepage related to the information provided by this homepage By selecting the contents of the address book from the list, the URL information indicating the home page can be associated with the contents of the address book. For example, if the address book contains an item indicating the place of work (company name), and you want to associate the homepage provided by the company registered as a work place in the address book with the contents of the address book and so on.

When the contents of a specific address book are specified in the address book display, the browser 30 notifies the registration function 33 of the association of the URL information with the contents of the specified address book. The registration function 33 responds to the notification from the browser 30 and, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, stores the URL in the attached area in accordance with the contents of the specified address book in the address book data 44.
Information is registered (step A12).

For example, when an address book relating to the name "BBBB" is registered (FIG. 10), the company registered as an employer in the address book is "AAA Shoji", and the company related to "AAA Shoji" When a homepage (indicated by URL information “www: //AAA.com”) to be found is selected, an address book corresponding to the name “BBBB” is selected, so that the address book corresponds to the name “BBBB” as shown in FIG. URL information "www: // A" in the attached area of the address book
AA. com "is registered.

Further, in the address book display, as shown in FIG. 10, the contents of the address book to which the URL information is related by the above-described operation are displayed on the address book display screen for displaying the address book. A predetermined attachment mark 64 indicating that the URL information is related is added. The operation for the attached mark 64 will be described later.

When the registration using the storage mode selection menu 52 is completed, the browser 30 returns to the state of displaying the home page (steps A14, A1, A1).
2). In the storage mode selection menu 52,
When “general” is selected, the browser 30 displays the URL information of the currently displayed homepage in “favorite”.
Is stored in a predetermined storage area. The URL information registered as “general” is displayed as a list by selecting a command prepared in the browser 30, and is displayed as a list as a “favorite” home page. When the URL information is selected from the list display, the browser 30 directly accesses and browses the homepage indicated by the selected URL information.

As described above, when browsing the home page with the browser 30, the functions of the PIM 32 (the schedule management unit 34, the memo management unit 36, the address book, URL information can be registered in association with data handled by the management unit 38).

Next, the use of the URL information associated with the data handled by the function of the PIM 32 as described above will be described using the operation of the schedule management unit 34. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the schedule function by the schedule management unit 34.

It is assumed that the schedule management unit 34 has activated the alarm function and, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, an alarm time has been designated for the schedule content “Aoi's birthday”.

The schedule management section 34 sets the alarm time closest to the present time among the alarm times arbitrarily set for the information unit of the schedule data 40 in the alarm time area as the alarm time to be the target of the immediate schedule alarm. You have set. Schedule management unit 34
Monitors whether the current time has reached the alarm time set in the alarm time area (step B1).

When detecting that the alarm time has been reached, the schedule management section 34 displays a schedule alarm for notifying that the designated date has been reached (step B2).

FIG. 12 shows an example of a schedule display screen on which a schedule alarm is displayed. FIG.
In the schedule alarm shown in Fig. 2, the schedule content "Aoi's birthday" and the notification of the number of days up to the date corresponding to the schedule content "7 days remaining" are displayed.
Notify explicitly that the contents of the schedule are registered.

Here, the schedule management section 34 determines whether or not URL information is registered in the attached area in accordance with the content of the schedule for which the schedule alarm has been made, and determines whether the URL information has been registered. , An attached mark 66 is added as shown in FIG. 12 to display a schedule alarm.

When there is a confirmation instruction for the schedule alarm, the schedule management unit 34 ends the display of the schedule alarm (step B3). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, when the attached mark 66 is added to the schedule alarm, an operation on the attached mark 66 (for example, a selection instruction using a pointing device)
If there is (step B4), the schedule management unit 34
Starts the browser 30 and reads out the URL information of the attached area added to the schedule data currently targeted for the schedule alarm from the schedule data 40 to provide. When the URL information is provided by the schedule management unit 34, the browser 30 connects to the Internet via the communication device 18 and accesses a homepage indicated by the URL information (step B5).

The browser 30 acquires home page data from the home page indicated by the URL information and displays it as a home page attached to the schedule (attached home page) (step B6).

This attached homepage is a homepage registered as valid for the schedule contents (“Aoi's birthday”). In this case, the service provided by the homepage can be used to give a birthday present.

On the displayed attached homepage, various information such as the name of the purchaser (applicant) of the present, the present merchandise, the name and address of the addressee, and the delivery date are set and transmitted, thereby providing the service. Can receive.

When data transmission is not performed, that is, when the service provided by the homepage is not used, the browser 30 terminates the connection with the Internet (step B7). Further, the schedule management unit 34 ends the process for the schedule that has become the target of the schedule alarm.

On the other hand, when data has been transmitted (step B 7), the browser 30 transmits the specified various information to the Web site (server) that is the provider of the home page, and transmits the data to the schedule management unit 34. Notify that there was.

The schedule management section 34 is a browser 30
In response to the notification from, the schedule contents similar to (or similar to) the contents of the schedule to which the data is to be transmitted are searched for and obtained from the schedule data 40 (step B8). In the above-described example, the schedule content “birthday” is used as a keyword, and the registered schedule content is searched on a later date to obtain another schedule content including “birthday”.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, since the schedule content of “Haruka's birthday” is registered on the date of December 25, this schedule content is the same as the schedule content of “Aoi-chan's birthday”. Is required. The schedule management unit 34 presents another schedule content obtained by searching from the schedule data 40,
Display a screen asking if you want to attach a homepage.

Here, if there is an instruction to attach a home page (step B9), the schedule management unit 34
Registers URL information indicating the homepage from which data was actually transmitted in an attached area corresponding to other schedule contents obtained by the search.

If there are a plurality of other similar schedule contents, the schedule contents to which the URL information is attached may be arbitrarily selected. In the example shown in FIG.
The URL information “www: //xyz.c” registered in the attached area of the schedule content “Aoi-chan's birthday” is attached to the attached area of the schedule content “Haruka's birthday”.
o. jp "is registered.

As described above, when the data is transmitted to the homepage and the service provided by the homepage is received, it indicates that it is actually useful for the contents of the schedule. By registering the same URL information for the schedule in the attached area, useful services provided by the homepage can be easily used for other schedule contents.

In the above description, the homepage is accessed when the attached mark 66 added in the display of the schedule alarm is operated. However, the homepage is automatically displayed simultaneously with the schedule alarm. You may make it access and browse.

Further, in order to obtain the same (or similar) schedule content as the schedule content for which data is to be transmitted, in addition to the above-described search method based on the keyword, the schedule content is previously registered. It is also possible to perform a predetermined classification and register it in the attached area of other schedule contents included in the same classification. As a result, the same URL information is registered even for schedule contents that do not necessarily include a character string as a keyword,
Make it easy to use the same services provided by the homepage.

Further, in the schedule management section 34, the schedule information is not added to the schedule contents in the schedule display at the time of executing the normal schedule function as shown in FIG. Attached mark 5
When the user operates 6, the user can also access the home page indicated by the URL information registered corresponding to the schedule content. In this case, the service provided by the homepage related to the schedule content can be used at an arbitrary timing.

Similarly, the memo management unit 36 and the address book management unit 38 operate on the respective data display screens.
By operating the attached mark added to the data, the URL
You can access the homepage indicated by the information and refer to the information provided by the homepage.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the memo management unit 36 displays the attached mark 62 displayed on the memo display screen.
