Abstract
A method for location-based assistance includes maintaining in a personal digital assistant (PDA) (22, 24, 26) a data structure that is indicative of a state of a user (32, 34, 36) of the PDA. Responsively to the state, a map (30) is generated in the PDA indicating targets (42, 44, 46, 48) within an area of relevance surround a present location of the user. Based on the map, the PDA provides a suggestion to the user of an action to be taken by the user with respect to one or more of the targets.

1-67. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to hold a data structure that is indicative of a state of a user of the apparatus;
- a user interface comprising a display;
- and
- a processor configured to maintain the data structure and responsive to the state, to generate a map indicating targets within an area of relevance surrounding a present location of the user, and to provide, based on the map, via the user interface, a suggestion to the user of an action to be taken by the user with respect to one or more of the targets.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- a user interface;
- one or more sensors;
- and
- a processor configured to collect inputs from the one or more sensors with respect to motion of a user of the apparatus, and to assess, responsive to the inputs, a motion-related state of the user, and to provide, based on the motion-related state, via the user interface to the user a suggestion of an action to be taken by the user.
At least one computer-readable medium in which program instructions are stored, which instructions, when read by a computer, cause the computer to:
- receive from a first user an indication of an event to be scheduled, in which a second user is to participate;
- responsive to the indication, to autonomously transmit a request via a communication interface of the computer of the first user to a PDA operated by the second user in accordance with a predefined inter-PDA protocol;
- and
- upon receipt of a response from the PDA, in accordance with the predefined inter-PDA protocol, to automatically enter the event in a schedule of the first user maintained by the computer.
