Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided that allows a user to automatically add content, such as an event, to a container, such as, a calendar without directly accessing the container. Second and third preferred embodiments are also provided.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying event information associated with a user event received within a first graphical user interface;
- generating, within the first graphical user interface, a selectable element associated with the event information by embedding the event information in the selectable element, wherein the selectable element is insertable into a third-party web page displayed in a second graphical user interface;
- and
- providing, within the first graphical user interface, the selectable element for insertion into the third-party web page such that the selectable element automatically creates an entry based on the event information in an electronic calendar application associated with a user upon detection of a user selection of the selectable element within the third-party web page without opening the electronic calendar application associated with the user and without further user interaction, wherein the first graphical user interface and the electronic calendar application associated with the user is independent of the third-party web page.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to:
- identify event information associated with a user event received within a first graphical user interface;
- generate, within the first graphical user interface, a selectable element associated with the event information by embedding the event information in the selectable element, wherein the selectable element is insertable into a third-party web page displayed in a second graphical user interface;
- and
- provide, within the first graphical user interface, the selectable element for insertion into the third-party web page such that the selectable element automatically creates an entry based on the event information in an electronic calendar application associated with a user upon detection of a user selection of the selectable element within the third-party web page without opening the electronic calendar application associated with the user and without further user interaction, wherein the first graphical user interface and the electronic calendar application associated with the user is independent of the third-party web page.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- identify event information associated with a user event received within a first graphical user interface;
- generate, within the first graphical user interface, a selectable element associated with the event information by embedding the event information in the selectable element, wherein the selectable element is insertable into a third-party web page displayed in a second graphical user interface;
- and
- provide, within the first graphical user interface, the selectable element for insertion into the third-party web page such that the selectable element automatically creates an entry based on the event information in an electronic calendar application associated with a user upon detection of a user selection of the selectable element within the third-party web page without opening the electronic calendar application associated with the user and without further user interaction, wherein the first graphical user interface and the electronic calendar application associated with the user is independent of the third-party web page.
