Methods and devices for resolving agenda and calendaring event discrepancies

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• and
• one or more processors operable with the display and a calendaring application;
• the one or more processors detecting a mismatch in starting or ending times occurring between a calendaring event notification and an agenda defined by a body of the calendaring event notification, attached to the calendaring event notification, or linked to the calendaring event notification by a hyperlink, and presenting a prompt upon the display identifying the mismatch when the mismatch is detected;
• the prompt comprising at least one option to remediate the mismatch and presenting a circle or square circumscribing text of the calendaring event notification identifying the mismatch;
• and
• wherein:
• the calendaring event notification comprises a calendaring event information section that is visibly delineated from an event agenda section by a linear boundary;
• the prompt is superimposed upon the calendaring event notification and spans the linear boundary;
• and
• the at least one option to remediate the mismatch comprises a user actuation target allowing the calendaring event notification to be edited and another user actuation target that, when actuated, causes the calendaring event notification to be transmitted;
• and
• the one or more processors transmitting the calendaring event notification without the mismatch being corrected when no agenda is attached to the calendaring event notification and the another user actuation target is actuated.

A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:

• detecting, by one or more processors, receipt of a calendaring event notification comprising an agenda attached to the calendaring event notification from another electronic device across a network;
• comparing, by the one or more processors, at least one calendaring event bounding time with at least one agenda bounding time;
• where there is a mismatch between the at least one calendaring event bounding time and the at least one agenda bounding time, presenting, by the one or more processors, a prompt at a user interface of the electronic device identifying that the mismatch exists;
• and
• modifying the calendaring event notification to identify the mismatch;
• and
• further comprising parsing a subject heading of the calendaring event notification to determine the mismatch;
• wherein:
• the modifying the calendaring event notification to identify the mismatch comprises applying arrows pointing from a superimposed mismatch notification to text of the calendaring event notification to identify the mismatch, with tails of the arrows defining a V-shape;
• the calendaring event notification comprises a calendaring event information section that is visibly delineated from an event agenda section by a horizontal line;
• the calendaring event information section consists essentially of a calendaring event topic, a calendaring event date, a calendaring event start time, and a calendaring event stop time;
• the event agenda section comprises the an agenda start time and an agenda stop time;
• and
• the modifying the calendar event notification comprises applying the arrows such that they point to the calendaring event start time and the agenda start time, the calendaring event stop time and the agenda stop time, or both, to identify the mismatch.
