1. A schedule management method of a mobile terminal, the schedule management method comprising:
- acquiring, via a processor, user schedule information;
determining at least one expected event that occurs through near field communication, based on the user schedule information, the at least one expected event being a future event comprising at least a predetermined location of a near field communication device for scanning along a route initially determined from the user schedule information;
extracting, via the processor, expected event information about the determined at least one expected event, the expected event information comprising information on events along the route that have yet to occur;
collecting, via the processor, event information generated through the near field communication;
comparing, via the processor, the collected event information and the expected event information, the collected event information comprising information on events that have occurred;
outputting, via a display, guidance information corresponding to the collected event information based on a result of the comparison; and
updating, via the processor, the expected event information based on a difference between the collected event information and the expected event information,wherein the updating of the expected event information comprises updating the expected event information based on the collected event information when the expected event information is different from the collected event information,wherein, when the collected event information matches an event beyond a next event in a sequence of the expected event information, the expected event information is updated to have the next event in the sequence of expected event information set to an event one event beyond the event matching the matched event in the sequence of the expected event information,wherein the expected event information comprises an attribute and occurrence time of the expected event, andwherein the attribute of the expected event is a type of an expected event.
