Abstract

Abstract An apparatus and method of providing a schedule and a route are provided in which the apparatus includes an information collection unit analyzing input information and extracting an event to be added to a first schedule, a pattern recognition unit extracting an activity pattern of a user with reference to a past route and past event information, and a generation unit applying the activity pattern to at least one event of the first schedule and the extracted event to generate a second schedule, generating a first route between event locations with reference to position information and time information of each event in the second schedule, generating a third schedule, to which an additional event is added, with reference to a transition time between the event locations and an actual event time, and generating a second route for the additional event in the third schedule.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim 138 words
An apparatus of providing a schedule and a route, the apparatus comprising: an information collection unit analyzing input information and extracting an event to be added to a first schedule; a pattern recognition unit extracting an activity pattern of a user with reference to a past route and past event information; and a generation unit applying the activity pattern to at least one event of the first schedule and the extracted event to generate a second schedule, generating a first route between event locations with reference to position information and time information of each event in the second schedule, generating a third schedule, to which an additional event is added, with reference to a transition time between the event locations and an actual event time, and generating a second route for the additional event in the third schedule.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 138 words
An apparatus of providing a schedule and a route, the apparatus comprising: an information collection unit analyzing input information and extracting an event to be added to a first schedule; a pattern recognition unit extracting an activity pattern of a user with reference to a past route and past event information; and a generation unit applying the activity pattern to at least one event of the first schedule and the extracted event to generate a second schedule, generating a first route between event locations with reference to position information and time information of each event in the second schedule, generating a third schedule, to which an additional event is added, with reference to a transition time between the event locations and an actual event time, and generating a second route for the additional event in the third schedule.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the generation unit comprises: a schedule generation unit generating the first schedule, the second schedule, and the third schedule; and a route generation unit generating the first route and the second route.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 48 words
The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the schedule generation unit sets an event location group having at least one event with reference to the position information and the activity pattern of the user, and extracts an expected event time of each event in the event location group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the schedule generation unit sets the event location group on the basis of districts or sets the event location group having at least one event within a predetermined radius.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the schedule generation unit sets the event location group with reference to terms in the names of the event locations.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 69 words
The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the generation unit generates the second schedule and the first route having events having a highest priority among the events in the event location group, and generates the third schedule and the second route having events having a lower priority than the events having the highest priority with reference to the transition time between the event locations and the actual event time.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 46 words
The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein, in generating the third schedule and the second route, the generation unit determines whether to include event locations of events in a different event location group from the event location group in the second schedule and the first route.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 28 words
The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, in generating the second schedule or the third schedule, the schedule generation unit resets a prescribed start time of each event.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 29 words
The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the route generation unit generates the first route and the second route with reference to current position information and current time information.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 99 words
The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the route generation unit generates the first route or the second route with reference to a route generated by at least one of a position-based search unit generating a route on the basis of current position and event location, a priority-based search unit generating a route according to a priority assigned to each event, a transition time search unit generating a route on the basis of a transition time between the event locations, and a transportation search unit generating a route on the basis of transportation for transition between the event locations.
Claim 12
Independent Claim 126 words
A method of providing a schedule and a route, the method comprising: analyzing input information and extracting an event to be added to a first schedule; extracting an activity pattern of a user with reference to a past route and past event information; applying the activity pattern to at least one event in the first schedule and the extracted event to generate a second schedule; generating a first route between event locations with reference to position information and time information of each event in the second schedule; generating a third schedule, to which an additional event is added, with reference to a transition time between the event locations and an actual event time; and generating a second route for the additional event in the third schedule.
Claim 13
Independent Claim 126 words
A method of providing a schedule and a route, the method comprising: analyzing input information and extracting an event to be added to a first schedule; extracting an activity pattern of a user with reference to a past route and past event information; applying the activity pattern to at least one event in the first schedule and the extracted event to generate a second schedule; generating a first route between event locations with reference to position information and time information of each event in the second schedule; generating a third schedule, to which an additional event is added, with reference to a transition time between the event locations and an actual event time; and generating a second route for the additional event in the third schedule.
Claim 14
