1. A schedule managing method comprising:
- displaying an image;
in response to a tap being performed on the image, selecting, by a controller, a portion of the image where the tap is performed as a recognition region, wherein the portion of the image that is selected includes at least one full word of text;
extracting, by the controller, data from the recognition region by converting image data representing the at least one full word of text into textual data;
categorizing, by the controller, the extracted data including the textual data according to a predetermined categorization rule; and
generating a schedule record using the categorized data.

7. A method comprising:
-
receiving an image from a camera; measuring a tilt value of the image relative to an axis of the camera; comparing the tilt value with a first threshold to determine whether the image is aligned with the axis of the camera; and outputting a first indication that the image is aligned with the axis of the camera in response to the tilt value satisfying the first threshold; setting, by a controller, at least one recognition region within the image; extracting data by the controller from the recognition region; categorizing, by the controller, the extracted data according to a predetermined categorization rule; and generating a schedule record using the categorized data. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

16. An electronic device comprising a memory, a display unit, a camera arranged to capture an image, and a controller arranged to:
-
detect a tilt of the image relative to an axis of the camera, compare the tilt with a first threshold to determine whether the image is aligned with the axis of the camera, and output an indication that the image is aligned with the axis of the camera when the first threshold is met; set at least one recognition region within the image; extract data from the recognition region; categorize, by the controller, the extracted data according to a predetermined categorization rule; and generate a schedule record using the categorized data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
