When a regularly and periodically occurring schedule is inputted along with a period and condition of occurrence for a plurality of arbitrary users, a schedule of a corresponding date is automatically generated for the plurality of users. A common routine schedule number is correlated to the generated schedules and a common sum schedule number is associated to each date. The schedules thus registered can be corrected/deleted individually and in a group.

Schedule management system and method

A schedule management system and method of displaying a schedule of at least a part of a plurality of users on a schedule management apparatus includes a display screen and an input device, and manages personal schedule information registered for each of the plurality of users. The method includes obtaining user identification information which uniquely identifies each of said specified plurality of users, displaying a sum schedule input area on said display screen to input a common schedule to said specified plurality of users in response to said operation, detecting that schedule information including a schedule starting time and a schedule ending time has been inputted in said sum schedule input area, generating a sum schedule number corresponding to the schedule information inputted in said sum schedule input area, registering schedule information inputted in said sum schedule input area as personal schedule information of each of said specified plurality of users and registering said sum schedule number in correlation to said personal schedule information, and displaying a schedule of at least a part of said specified plurality of users based on the personal schedule information of said at least a part of said plurality of users.
