Abstract

In recent years, the ability to manage schedules using a mobile device equipped with a touch panel has increased. However, when one wishes to add a new event to the schedule book while taking into account the transit time for an existing event, it is necessary to switch to another application or website. In this study, we design a system that determines automatically whether the new event can be added. If it is impossible to add the event, the system proposes a time range in which events can be added.
