Claims

1. A method for displaying event information on a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of:

selecting a specific date;

searching for event information registered on the selected date; and

displaying the event information registered on the selected date.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said event information comprises one or a plurality of events with each of the one or plurality of events being one of any of multiple event types, the multiple event types comprising messages, incoming or outgoing calls, emails and to-do lists.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said step of selecting a specific date includes:

selecting a calendar mode in the mobile terminal; and

selecting the specific date in a calendar view mode.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein dates with registered event information are visually differentiated on a calendar image displayed in the calendar view mode so as to be distinguished from dates not having registered event information.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein for event information registered on the selected date, only events of a single event type are displayed when the single event type is selected by a key input, the single event type being any one of multiple event types, including messages, incoming or outgoing calls, email and to-do lists.

6. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein for event information registered on the selected date, only events of a single event type are displayed when the single event type is selected by a key input, the single event type being any one of multiple event types, including messages, incoming or outgoing calls, email and to-do lists.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein new event information of a single event type can be added to the event information registered on the selected day, the single event type being any one of multiple event types, including messages, incoming or outgoing calls, email and to-do lists.

8. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein new event information of a single event type can be added to the event information registered on the selected day, the single event type being any one of multiple event types, including messages, incoming or outgoing calls, email and to-do lists.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said event information registered on the selected date comprises one or a plurality of events and is displayed such that each event of the one or plurality of events is displayed with an associated indicator that represents a type of event.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said event information registered on the selected date comprises one or a plurality of events displayed in chronological order from earliest to latest.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the step of:

pressing a predetermined key during the display of the event information to newly select one day before or after the currently selected date and display event information corresponding to the newly selected date.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the nearest date with event information is selected to display the event information if no event has occurred one day before or after the currently selected date.

15. A method for displaying event information on a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of:

inputting a specific date;

when a user selects a single event type of multiple event types, displaying any events of the selected single event type that are registered on the specific date; and

when a predetermined key is pressed to select another single event type of the multiple event types, displaying any events of the newly selected another single event type that are registered on the specific date.

16. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein said multiple event types include messages, incoming or outgoing calls, emails and to-do lists.

17. A method for displaying event information on a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of:

inputting a specific date and at least one event type of multiple event types;

displaying event information registered on the specific date; and

when a predetermined key is pressed to select another event type of the multiple event types, displaying any event of the newly selected event type that is registered on the specific date.
