  • Publication number: 20200097887
    Abstract: In a schedule management device, a schedule acquirer acquires schedule information, which includes a scheduled time, of a user. A vacant time detector detects, when the start time of a schedule item in acquired schedule information is delayed or when the finish time of a schedule item is in acquired schedule information advanced, the difference from the original start time or the original finish time as a vacant time of the user. A deriver derives action proposal information available for a detected vacant time and related to the action plan of a future schedule item.
