Position based personal digital assistant

A computer assisted method, comprising the steps of:

• transporting a mobile computer system to a first location having first geographic coordinates at a first time;
• receiving and processing at said mobile computer system a first set of RF signals to derive said first geographic coordinates;
• and
• retrieving a previously entered task description from a database if said first geographic coordinates indicate that said mobile computer system is within a selected range of a location at which a task associated with said task description may be accomplished.

A computer assisted method of scheduling a task, comprising the steps of:

• storing, over a period of time, commute information indicative of a regularly travelled route of a vehicle, said commute information comprising one or more position information entries, each position information entry derived from positioning information received from a GPS receiver;
• storing one or more vehicle stop entries for said vehicle, each vehicle stop entry being associated with a location at which a task is performed, each vehicle stop entry including positioning information received from said GPS receiver;
• associating with said vehicle stop entries, task descriptions, each task description being indicative of a task capable of being accomplished at a location associated with an associated vehicle stop entry;
• and
• retrieving one of said task descriptions using first positioning information received from said GPS receiver when said first positioning information indicates that said vehicle will be in a first location within a predefined range of one of said locations associated with one of said vehicle stop entries,
• wherein said first positioning information is used in conjunction with said commute information to determine that said vehicle will be in said first location.
