Abstract
When electronic mail is received, the contents of the electronic mail is analyzed, and an item concerning a schedule is extracted from the analysis results. When the date associated with the extracted item is advanced to the present time, the item is stored as a user's schedule in a database employed for the storage of schedule data. Schedule data that conflict with the item are searched for in the database. To rearrange conflicting schedules, a change in a schedule is requested to the transmission source, or the priorities of the conflicting schedules are compared, and the cancellation of a schedule having a low priority is proposed to a user.
