First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing a schedule of a terminal based on a local time, the method comprising:
- determining if the local time changes;
if the local time changes to an earlier time, determining if there is schedule information that has already been processed that will be processed again as a result of the local time change;
if the local time changes to a later time, determining if there is unprocessed schedule information that was to be processed during a period between the changed local time and the local time before the change of the local time; and
preventing an already-processed schedule information from being processed again and reporting the unprocessed schedule information to a user.

Abstract
Provided is a method and apparatus for managing a schedule of a terminal based on a local time. It is possible to prevent schedule information from a schedule of a terminal from being repeatedly processed or from being missed, when the local time changes due to the movement of the terminal into another time zone or due to daylight saving time. It is also possible to manage a schedule by determining if the schedule has changed during a period between a time before the change and the changed time.
