Location based personal organizer

A system for providing location-based notification, the system comprising:

• a mobile device, the mobile device having an on-board GPS device and communicatively coupled to a server, the mobile device storing a contact list including one or more geo-based contact entries each containing a set of contact fields including a GPS coordinate field storing a set of GPS coordinate values corresponding to a geographical location;
• and
• the server having access to a geo-code database, the geo-code database storing contact information linked to geographical locations such that each set of GPS coordinates corresponding a geographical location is mapped to a set of contact information corresponding to the geographical location;
• wherein the mobile device comprises a non-transitory computer readable medium carrying computer executable instructions adapted to perform, when executed by a processor, a set of steps comprising:
• receiving, in setting up a contact entry in the contact list, at least a value for at least a first contact field of the contact entry from a first input means;
• sending to the sever the first contact field and the inputted value for the first contact field;
• receiving from the server respective values for the at least subset of the remaining contact fields of the contact entry, such that upon the receiving from the server, the set of GPS coordinate values for the GPS coordinate field of the contact entry and a value for at least one other contact field of the contact entry are stored as in the contact entry;
• receiving description of a task linked to the contact entry from a second input means;
• and
• displaying the task description so as to notify of potential execution of the task when a set of contemporaneous GPS coordinates of the mobile device corresponding to the contemporaneous geographical location of the mobile device, as captured by the on-board GPS device, correspond to the stored set of GPS coordinate values for the GPS coordinate field of the contact entry;
• and
• wherein the server comprises a non-transitory computer readable medium carrying computer executable instructions adapted to perform, when executed by a processor, a set of steps comprising:
• receiving from the mobile device the first contact field and the inputted value of the first contact field;
• retrieving from the geo-code database the respective values for the at least one subset of the remaining contact fields of the contact entry;
• and
• sending to the mobile device the retrieved respective values for the at least one subset of the remaining contact fields of the contact entry.

• an on-board GPS device;
• a personal organizer module storing a contact list including one or more geo-based contact entries each containing a set of contact fields including a GPS coordinate field storing a set of GPS coordinate values corresponding to a geographical location;
• and
