Abstract
The present invention is to provide a method for personalizing a calendar by collecting web page information according to data entries in the calendar, which is applicable to a network system including a server and a terminal device connected to the server through the Internet and installed with calendar software. The method is designed that, after a user writes predetermined data entry into a calendar created by the calendar software and shown on the terminal device, the terminal device automatically collects web page information matching with the data entry from the Internet by way of the calendar software and the server. Once the web page information collected is properly sorted, the terminal device imbeds the web page information into the calendar or adds the web page information to the calendar as a plugin, thereby creating a personalized calendar which enables the user to obtain the desired information conveniently and rapidly.
