Generating and processing task items that represent tasks to perform

A method comprising:

• at an electronic device comprising one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the method comprising:
• receiving input data that is based on natural language input, received at a handheld device, from a user and that expressly specifies one or more first attributes of a task;
• automatically without user intervention, receiving context data that is separate from the input data and that is based on data that is stored at the handheld device;
• deriving from the context data one or more second attributes of the task that are not reflected in the input data;
• determining, from the input data, one or more triggering criteria associated with the task;
• based on the input data causing a task item to be generated for the task, the task item including the one or more first attributes, the one or more second attributes, and the one or more triggering criteria;
• determining whether the one or more triggering criteria are satisfied;
• and
• in response to determining that the one or more triggering criteria are satisfied, causing a notification associated with the task item to be displayed at the handheld device, the notification including an associated description comprising the one or more first attributes and the one or more second attributes.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by a computer system, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

• receiving, from a user, natural language input that expressly specifies one or more first attributes of a task;
• automatically Without user intervention, retrieving context data that is separate from the natural language input;
• deriving from the context data one or more second attributes of the task;
• determining, from the natural language input, one or more triggering criteria associated with the task;
• based on the natural language input generating a task item for the task, the task item including the one or more first attributes, the one or more second attributes, and the one or more triggering criteria;
• determining whether the one or more triggering criteria are satisfied;
• and
• in response to determining that the one or more triggering criteria are satisfied, causing a notification associated with the task item to be displayed the notification including an associated description comprising the one or more first attributes and the one or more second attributes.
