Mobile terminal and schedule management method using the same
First Claim
1. A schedule management method for use in a mobile terminal, comprising:
- (a) inputting at lease one of schedules, each schedule including an alarm time, planned event time, planned event and destination;
(b) receiving location information of the input destination of the schedule input in step (a) from a map search feature;
(c) determining, at an alarm time of the current schedule of the schedules input in step (a), a current location of the mobile terminal using global positioning system (GPS) satellite signals;
(d) providing a first estimated travel time from the current location of the mobile terminal to a destination of the current schedule; and
(e) outputting an alarm, and displaying the first estimated travel time in step (d) and the current schedule in step (a).

Abstract
A mobile terminal and schedule management method using the same. The method includes: setting a schedule, the schedule including an alarm time, planned event time, planned event and a destination; and information about the location of the scheduled destination from a map search feature. A current location of the mobile terminal can be computed at an alarm time of a current schedule, using global positioning system (GPS) satellite signals. A first estimated travel time from the current location of the mobile terminal to a destination of the current schedule is provided. An alarm is output in which at least the computed first estimated travel time and the current schedule are displayed. The schedule management function integrates location and traffic information to provide effective schedule guidance to a user.

15. A schedule management method using a mobile terminal, comprising:
-
setting a schedule including an alarm time, planned event time, planned event and destination; receiving location information of a destination of the schedule through a map search feature; determining, at an alarm time of a current schedule, whether a preceding schedule is pending between the alarm time and a planned event time of the current schedule; computing, if a preceding schedule is pending, an estimated travel time from a destination of the preceding schedule to a destination of the current schedule; and outputting an alarm, and displaying the computed estimated travel time and the current schedule. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A mobile terminal comprising:
-
an input unit for inputting a schedule composed of an alarm time, planned event time, planned event, destination, and transportation means; a wireless unit for receiving location information of a destination of a schedule from a map search feature; a global positioning system (GPS) module for receiving GPS satellite signals to compute a current location of the mobile terminal at an alarm time of a current schedule; a control unit for computing a first estimated travel time from the current location of the mobile terminal to a destination of the current schedule; a display unit for displaying the computed first estimated travel time and the current schedule; and an alarm unit for producing an alarm at an alarm time of a schedule. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
