Abstract

A trip scheduling device can include a touch screen display, a communication circuit configured to communicate with an external device, and a processor electrically connected with the touch screen display and the communication circuit. The processor can determine a destination corresponding to a task entered by a user of the device, display, via the touch screen display, a user interface including a map and a chatting window for a user group including the user connected by the communication circuit, and receive, via the touch screen display, an input associated with the user interface for determining a trip for the user group.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A trip scheduling device comprising:
a touch screen display;
a communication circuit configured to communicate with an external device; and
a processor electrically connected with the touch screen display and the communication circuit,
wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a destination corresponding to a task entered by a user of the device;
display, via the touch screen display, a user interface including a map and a chatting window for a user group including the user connected by the communication circuit; and
receive, via the touch screen display, an input associated with the user interface for determining a trip for the user group, and

wherein the processor is further configured to:
display, via the touch screen display, a map where destinations of respective users included in the user group are shown, and
wherein the map includes information about at least a part of an expected required time or an expected price for each of the users included in the user group.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive, via the touch screen display, a keyword associated with the task from the user;
display, via the touch screen display, one or more points for performing the task based on the keyword; and
when one of the one or more points is selected by the user, set the selected point to the destination.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
recommend one of the one or more points based on a number of expected group members for each of the one or more points.

4. The device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display, via the touch screen display, an expected required time for each of the one or more points.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display, via the touch screen display, a map where destinations of respective users included in the user group are shown.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display, via the touch screen display, the chatting window and the map at the same time.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display, via the touch screen display, the chatting window and the map individually.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
change the destination based on an input of the user, which is made to the map.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
change the information about at least a part of the expected required time or the expected price for the user based on the changed destination.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display, via the touch screen display, a map where destinations and departure points of respective users included in the user group are shown.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
change a departure point of the user based on an input of the user, which is made to the map.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
change the information about at least a part of the expected required time or the expected price for the user based on the changed departure point.

13. The device of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes:
a confirmation button for receiving an agreement intention associated with the trip from the user.

14. The device of claim 1 , wherein the user interface indicates whether users included in the user group agree to the trip.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
when it is determined that all users including in the user group agree to the trip, display, via the touch screen display, a screen indicating finalization of the trip.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display, via the touch screen display, one or more hash tags associated with the task; and
when one of the one or more hash tags is selected by the user, display, via the touch screen display, one or more points associated with the selected hash tag.

17. A trip scheduling method comprising:
determining, by a processor, a destination corresponding to a task entered by a user;
displaying, by the processor, a user interface including a map and a chatting window for a user group including the user via a touch screen display electrically connected with the processor; and
receiving, by the processor, an input associated with the user interface via the touch screen display for determining a trip for the user group,
wherein the displaying comprises:
displaying, by the processor, a map where destinations of respective users included in the user group are shown via the touch screen display, and
wherein the ma includes information about at least a art of an expected required time or an expected price for each of the users included in the user group.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
changing, by the processor, the destination based on an input of the user, which is made to the map.
