Abstract

A context estimation rule is applied to spare time on a user's schedule, and contexts are estimated. On the basis of a task template, an input task is divided into plural subtasks. A task recommendation rule for recommending tasks to do from the relation between contexts and metadata of tasks is applied to the spare time of the user, and tasks to do in the spare time are recommended on the basis of the contexts of the spare time and the metadata of the subtasks. The recommended tasks are managed as schedules.
