The communication terminal 102 extracts, for example, an HTML tag, an image, and the like from the mail data received through the mail data extraction unit 202 to extract a mail address included in the mail data (step 404) It is checked whether the mail address registered in the internal memory is the mail address registered in the stored schedule management information (step 406). Here, the schedule management information may include, for example, a mail address, a terminal number, an ID, a nickname, and the like.

If it is determined in step 406 that the extracted mail address is a mail address registered in the pre-stored schedule management information, the mail data extraction unit 202 extracts the text data from the mail data (step 408) The natural language analyzing unit 302 compares and analyzes the corresponding text data with the lexical information stored in the internal memory using a natural language analysis technique and a semantic analysis technique, 304 generates metadata for generating schedule information using the analysis data (step 410). Here, the natural language analysis technique and the semantic analysis technique recognize, for example, when the body data of 'tomorrow' is transmitted, it is recognized as the date of the next day of the current date, and when the body data of 'weekend' is transmitted, , And the metadata may be generated in correspondence with, for example, a date and time, a place, a sender, a subject, an attendee, and the like.

Then, the schedule information generator 306 compares the generated metadata with the address book information stored in the internal memory, and generates schedule information corresponding to the metadata (step 412). Here, the schedule information may include, for example, data such as date and time, place, sender, subject, attendee, and the like.

Meanwhile, the schedule information generation unit 306 checks whether there is time information (i.e., date and time) in the generated schedule information (step 414).

As a result of the check in step 414, if there is time information, the schedule information generation unit 306 stores and manages the schedule information in the schedule information storage 210 according to a predetermined schedule management program (step 416). Here, the schedule information may be stored in accordance with the time information corresponding to the schedule management program in the calendar format, for example.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 414 that there is no time information, the schedule information generation unit 306 stores and manages the schedule information in the schedule information storage unit 210 in a memo format corresponding to a predetermined schedule management program 418).

Accordingly, when a new mail is received by the communication terminal in the schedule management system, the body data is selectively extracted according to the mail address, and the metadata is generated through the natural language analysis and the semantic analysis on the text data, and the schedule information corresponding to the metadata is generated And can be integrated and managed.

Meanwhile, in the above-described first embodiment of the present invention, it has been described that the mail is received. However, it is needless to say that even when the mail is created and transmitted, the schedule information can be stored and managed by performing the above-described process.

Next, if a short message is received in the schedule management system having the above-described configuration, it is checked whether or not the corresponding terminal number exists, and then the short message data is extracted if it is a registered terminal number, The metadata generation is performed through natural language analysis and semantic analysis, and the process of generating and managing schedule information using the metadata is described.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of managing schedule information by analyzing a short message according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

5, when the short message service is requested from a specific service server, the short message service center 116 generates a corresponding short message and stores it in the short message database 1206 corresponding to the called number, the calling number, And transmits the short message to the exchange 106. The short message is received by the communication terminal 102 via the exchange 106 and the communication network 104 (step 502).

In step 504, the communication terminal 102 extracts the calling terminal number included in the short message data from the short message data received through the message data extracting unit 204, and transmits the extracted calling terminal number to the internal memory It is checked whether the terminal number is registered in the stored schedule management information (step 506). Here, the schedule management information may include, for example, a mail address, a terminal number, an ID, a nickname, and the like.

If it is determined in step 506 that the extracted calling terminal number is the terminal number registered in the stored stored management information, the message data extracting unit 204 extracts the corresponding short message data (the contents of the short message) The natural language analysis unit 302 compares the corresponding short message data with the lexical information stored in the internal memory using a natural language analysis technique and a semantic analysis technique, The metadata generation unit 304 generates metadata for generating schedule information using the analysis data (step 510). Here, the natural language analysis technique and the semantic analysis technique recognize, for example, when the short message data named 'tomorrow' is transmitted, as the date of the next day of the current date, and when the short message data of 'weekend' is transmitted, And may be performed in a manner of recognizing it as a Saturday date, and the metadata may be generated corresponding to, for example, a date and time, a place, a sender, a subject, and an attendee.

Then, the schedule information generator 306 compares the generated metadata with the address book information stored in the internal memory, and generates schedule information corresponding to the metadata (step 512). Here, the schedule information may include, for example, data such as date and time, place, sender, subject, attendee, and the like.

Meanwhile, the schedule information generator 306 checks whether time information (i.e., date and time) exists in the generated schedule information (step 514).

As a result of checking in step 514, if there is time information, the schedule information generation unit 306 stores and manages the schedule information in the schedule information storage unit 210 according to a predetermined schedule management program (step 516). Here, the schedule information may be stored in accordance with the time information corresponding to the schedule management program in the calendar format, for example.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 514 that there is no time information, the schedule information generation unit 306 stores and manages the schedule information in the schedule information storage unit 210 in a memo format corresponding to a predetermined schedule management program 518).

Accordingly, when a short message is received at the communication terminal in the schedule management system, the text data is selectively extracted according to the calling terminal number, the metadata is generated through natural language analysis and semantic analysis, and schedule information corresponding to the metadata is extracted And can be integrated and managed.

Meanwhile, although the second embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the case where a short message is received, it is also possible to store and manage schedule information by performing the above-described process even when a short message is created and transmitted.

Next, when a voice memo is input in the schedule management system having the above-described configuration, the voice data is converted into character data, and the converted data is extracted to generate metadata through natural language analysis and semantic analysis. A process of generating and managing schedule information using metadata will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of analyzing a voice memo and managing schedule information according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

6, when a voice memo is input to the communication terminal (step 602), the voice data extraction unit 206 of the communication terminal 102 converts the voice data of the voice memo inputted through the predetermined conversion module into character data (Step 604).

The voice data extraction unit 206 of the communication terminal 102 extracts the converted character data corresponding to the voice memo (step 606), and transmits the extracted character data to the predetermined data generation unit 208, 302, the character data is compared with lexical information stored in an internal memory using a natural language analysis technique and a semantic analysis technique. The metadata generation unit 304 generates a meta data for generating schedule information Data is generated (step 608). Here, the natural language analysis technique and the semantic analysis technique recognize, for example, when the character data of 'tomorrow' is transmitted, as a date of the next day of the current date, and when the character data of 'weekend' is transmitted, , And the metadata may be generated in correspondence with, for example, a date and time, a place, a sender, a subject, an attendee, and the like.

The schedule information generator 306 compares the generated metadata with the address book information stored in the internal memory, and generates schedule information corresponding to the meta data (step 610). Here, the schedule information may include, for example, data such as date and time, place, sender, subject, attendee, and the like.

Meanwhile, the schedule information generator 306 checks whether time information (i.e., date and time) exists in the generated schedule information (step 612).

As a result of checking in step 612, if there is time information, the schedule information generation unit 306 stores and manages the schedule information in the schedule information storage 210 according to a predetermined schedule management program (step 614). Here, the schedule information may be stored in accordance with the time information corresponding to the schedule management program in the calendar format, for example.

On the other hand, if the time information does not exist as a result of checking in step 612, the schedule information generation unit 306 stores and manages the schedule information in the schedule information storage unit 210 in a memo format corresponding to a predetermined schedule management program 616).

Accordingly, when the voice memo is input to the communication terminal in the schedule management system, the voice data is converted into character data and extracted, and the metadata is generated through natural language analysis and semantic analysis on the voice data, and schedule information corresponding to the metadata And can be integrated and managed.
