[0079] In other words, the image recognition means 300 is configured to recognize unregistered image data as registered image data, and the event recognition means 301 is configured to recognize unregistered event data as registered event data.

[0080] The image recognition means 300 is configured to recognize unregistered image data by receiving, referencing, or acquiring unregistered image data.

[0081] The image recognition means 300 is configured to be executed when unregistered image data is added, and can be forcibly executed when the calendar app is launched, or can be executed at a time desired by the user.

[0082] The event recognition means 301 is configured to recognize unregistered event data by receiving, referencing, or acquiring unregistered event data.

[0083] The event recognition means 301 is also configured to be executed when unregistered event data is added, and can be forcibly executed when the calendar app is launched or can be executed at a time of the user's choosing.

[0084] Furthermore, the event recognition means 301 of this embodiment is also configured to recognize event data received from the event input means 25 as unregistered event data, since event data created by the event input means 25 may be transmitted.

[0085] The date acquisition means 31 includes an image date acquisition means 310 that performs a process to acquire image date information and image time information from unregistered image data recognized by the image recognition means 300, and an event date acquisition means 311 that performs a process to acquire event date information and event time information from unregistered event data recognized by the event recognition means 301.

[0086] The allocation means 32 includes an image allocation means 320 that performs processing to convert unregistered image data into registered image data based on image date information acquired by the image date acquisition means 310, and an event allocation means 321 that performs processing to convert unregistered event data into registered event data based on event date information acquired by the event date acquisition means 311.

[0087] The image assignment means 320 is configured to register unregistered image data as registered image data by registering the image information in the management information along with the image date information acquired by the image date acquisition means 310. The registration of image information in the management information is performed by writing information that needs to be used in the calendar application 1 (such as information indicating the location of image data to be treated as registered image data) to the management information.

[0088] This allows unregistered image data to be allocated to the monthly image allocation area, the daily image allocation area, and the event image allocation area.

[0089] The event assignment means 321 is configured to register unregistered event data as registered event data by registering the event information in the management information along with the event date information acquired by the event date acquisition means 311. The registration of image information in the management information is performed by writing the information that needs to be used in the calendar application 1 (such as information indicating the location of image data to be treated as registered image data) to the management information.

[0090] This allows unregistered event data to be allocated to the monthly event allocation area, the daily event allocation area, and the event content allocation area.

[0091] The configuration of the calendar application 1 according to this embodiment is as described above. Next, the operation of the calendar application 1 according to this embodiment will be explained.

[0092] When the calendar app 1 is launched on the terminal, as shown in Figure 9, the assignment control means 3 performs the registration process of unregistered image data (S1) and the registration process of unregistered event data (S2).

[0093] For example, if unregistered image data is stored in the terminal's storage device, as shown in Figure 10, the image recognition means 300 acquires the unregistered image data and recognizes it as an object to be used by the calendar control means 2 (S10), the image date acquisition means 310 acquires the image date information of the unregistered image data (S11), and the image assignment means 320 registers the image date information acquired by the image date acquisition means 310 along with the image information of the unregistered image data in the management means 4 (S12). As a result, the unregistered image data becomes registered image data.

[0094] Furthermore, if unregistered event data is stored in the terminal's storage device, as shown in Figure 11, the event recognition means 301 acquires the unregistered event data and recognizes it as an object to be used by the calendar control means 2 (S20), the event date acquisition means 311 acquires the event date information of the unregistered event data (S21), and the event assignment means 321 registers the event date information acquired by the event date acquisition means 311 along with the event information of the unregistered event data in the management means 4 (S22). As a result, the unregistered event data becomes registered event data.

[0095] Next, as shown in Figure 12, when the monthly display screen control means 20 displays the monthly display screen on the display unit (Yes in S30), a monthly calendar is displayed on this monthly display screen (Yes in S31). For each day frame of the monthly calendar, image information associated with the image date information corresponding to the date of the day frame is displayed in the monthly image allocation area by the monthly image display means 201 (S32), and event information associated with the event date information corresponding to the date of the day frame is displayed in the monthly event allocation area by the monthly event display means 202 (S33).

[0096] As shown in Figure 13, when the day display screen control means 21 displays the day display screen on the display unit in response to a command from the screen display switching means 23 (S40), the day display screen displays image information associated with the image date information corresponding to the date on the day display screen in the daily image allocation area by the daily image display means 211 (S41), and event information associated with the event date information corresponding to the date in the day frame is displayed in the daily event allocation area by the daily event display means 212 (S42).

[0097] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 14, when the event display screen control means 22 displays the event display screen on the display unit in response to a command from the screen display switching means 23 (S50), the event display screen displays image information associated with the image date information corresponding to the date on the event display screen in the event image allocation area by the event image display means 221 (S51), and the event information associated with the event date information corresponding to the date in the day frame is displayed in the event content allocation area by the event content display means 222 (S52).

[0098] In this way, image information such as photographs taken in the past is assigned to the corresponding date frame by the image assignment means 320 so that it can be displayed, and event information such as past events is assigned to the corresponding date frame by the event assignment means 321 so that it can be displayed. As a result, the image information and event information are organized, and the organized image information and event information becomes viewable by the calendar control means 2.

[0099] As described above, the calendar application 1 configured using the data allocation program according to this embodiment allows image data to be organized on the calendar function based on year, month, and day (specifically, on a monthly or daily basis), which has the excellent effect of making it easier for users to organize their memories.

[0100] Furthermore, Calendar App 1 allows users to organize event data along with image data by year, month, and day (specifically, by month or day), making it easier for them to organize their memories.

[0101] Furthermore, Calendar App 1 allows users to organize image data and event data on an event-by-event basis, making it easier for them to organize their memories.

[0102] It should be noted that the data allocation program for the calendar function with image display function according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0103] The data allocation program in the above embodiment was configured to perform processing on the calendar control means 2 (calendar function with image display function) which constitutes the calendar application 1 together with the allocation control means 3 that functions through the data allocation program, but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, the data allocation program can also be configured to perform processing on the calendar control means 2 even when the allocation control means 3 and the calendar control means 2 (calendar function with image display function) constitute separate applications.

[0104] In the above embodiment, the calendar application 1 was installed on terminal T1, which is a computer operated by the user, as shown in Figure 8, but the configuration is not limited to this. The calendar application 1 may also be installed on a server device T2 that is connected to terminal T1 operated by the user in a manner that enables information communication, as shown in Figure 915. When the calendar application 1 is installed on server device T2, a calendar system is constructed by terminal T1 operated by the user and server device T2 on which the calendar application 1 is installed.

[0105] Furthermore, the calendar control means 2, the assignment control means 3, and the management means 4 that constitute the calendar application 1 may be installed on separate server devices T2, as shown in Figure 16.

[0106] Thus, when the calendar control means 2, the allocation control means 3, and the management means 4 are installed on separate server devices T2, the calendar system is constructed by the user's terminal T1, the server device T2 on which the calendar control means 2 is installed, the server device T2 on which the allocation control means 3 is installed, and the server device T2 on which the management means 4 is installed. In this case, the server device T2 on which the allocation control means 3 is installed becomes a data allocation server for the calendar function with image display capabilities.

[0107] Thus, Calendar app 1 may be configured as a so-called cloud app or web app.

[0108] In the above embodiment, the priority display setting means 24 was configured to be part of the calendar control means 2, but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, the priority display setting means 24 may be configured to be part of the assignment control means 3.

[0109] In the above embodiment, the allocation means 32 was configured to register unregistered image data and unregistered event data with the management means 4, but it is not limited to this configuration. For example, the allocation means 32 may be configured to register only unregistered image data with the management means 4.

[0110] In this case, the data recognition means 30 should be configured to recognize only unregistered image data, and the date acquisition means 31 should be configured to acquire only the image date information of the unregistered image data.

[0111] The image date information described in the above embodiment was configured to include image date information and image time information, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the image date information may be configured to include only the image date information from the image date information and image time information. That is, the image date information may include date and time information expressed as year, month, and day, or it may include only date information expressed as year, month, and day.

[0112] The event date information described in the above embodiment was configured to include event date information and event time information, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the event date information may be configured to include only the event date information among the event date information and event time information. That is, the event date information may include date and time information expressed as year, month, and day, or it may include only date information expressed as year, month, and day.

[0113] In the above embodiment, the management means 4 was configured to manage registered image data and registered event data using management information D1, but it is not limited to this configuration. For example, the management means 4 may be configured to store the image data itself as registered image data, or to store the event data itself as registered image data.

[0114] The management means 4 in the above embodiment managed image information and event information using table-formatted data, but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, image information and event information may be managed by organizing them into folders.

[0115] Although not specifically mentioned in the description of the screen display switching means 23 in the above embodiment, when displaying a new screen while one of the month display screen, day display screen, or event display screen is being displayed, the already displayed screen may be closed, hidden so that it cannot be seen without being closed, or left displayed so that it can be seen.

[0116] In the description of the operation of the assignment control means 3 in the above embodiment, the image recognition means 300, the image date acquisition means 310, and the image assignment means 320 were configured to perform a process to register image information with the management means 4 when the calendar application 1 is launched, but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, the assignment control means 3 may be configured so that when updating management information after the calendar application 1 has been launched, the image recognition means 300, the image date acquisition means 310, and the image assignment means 320 perform a process to register image information with the management means 4.

[0117] In the description of the operation of the assignment control means 3 in the above embodiment, the event recognition means 301, the event date acquisition means 311, and the event assignment means 321 were configured to execute a process for registering event information with the management means 4 when the calendar application 1 is launched, but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, the assignment control means 3 may be configured so that when the management information is updated after the calendar application 1 has been launched, the event recognition means 301, the event date acquisition means 311, and the event assignment means 321 execute a process for registering event information with the management means 4.

[0118] Although not specifically mentioned in the description of the calendar application 1 of the above embodiment, the calendar control means 2 may be configured to display a weekly view screen that displays a weekly calendar.

[0119] Although not specifically mentioned in the description of the image data in the above embodiment, if the image data is data created by taking an image or data that has been edited after taking an image, it may be configured to include location information indicating the location of the image, the type of device used to take the image (for example, a portable imaging device such as a smartphone, tablet, or digital camera, or a stationary imaging device), and device information indicating the operating system running the device that took the image.

[0120] Although not specifically mentioned in the description of the image data of the above embodiment, the image data may be a still image or a moving image.

[0121] Although not specifically mentioned in the description of the event input screen S4 in the above embodiment, the event input screen S4 may also be configured to allow input of information related to the event (for example, the location of the event, a URL where information related to the event is posted, notes about the event, etc.) in addition to event information.
