Location and time sensitive wireless calendaring

A computer-implemented method for providing location-sensitive and time-sensitive calendaring to a wireless device, the method comprising the steps of:

• determining that a time reading is within a predetermined minimum of a meeting start time of an appointment of a calendar of a user, wherein the appointment comprises a meeting start time, a meeting place and a plurality of meeting attendees stored in association with the appointment on the wireless device and wherein the time reading is the present time;
• determining the location of the user based on the location of the wireless device;
• determining the location of the meeting place;
• determining an estimated time of arrival of the user at the meeting place based on a velocity of the user;
• if the estimated time of arrival is after the meeting start time, then sending a late message from a server to the plurality of meeting attendees via a wireless network;
• sending a roll call request to the plurality of meeting attendees;
• receiving at least one of current locations or approx innate arrival times of the plurality of attendees in response to sending the roll call request;
• and
• providing a notification to the user as to when to proceed to the meeting place in order to be on time based on the estimated time of arrival.

A system for providing location-sensitive calendar information to a wireless device, the system comprising:

• a wireless device in communication with a server via a wireless network wherein the wireless device stores a plurality of meeting attendees in association with an appointment, the appointment comprising a meeting start time and a meeting location;
• and
• a calendaring program running on the server, whereby the server
• determines a present time and a present location of the wireless device of a user, whereby the server compares the present time and the present location to the meeting time and the meeting location in a calendar file associated with the user to determine an estimated time of arrival;
• if the estimated time of arrival is after the meeting start time the-server sends a late message to the wireless device and to a plurality of wireless devices associated with the plurality of meeting attendees;
• and
• the server sends a roll call request to the wireless devices of the respective plurality of meeting attendees;
• and
• the server receives at least one of current locations or approximate arrival times of the plurality of attendees from the wireless devices of the respective plurality of meeting attendees in response to sending the roll call request;
• and
• the server provides a notification to at least one wireless device as to when the meeting attendee should proceed to the meeting place in order to be on time based on the estimated time of arrival.

• and
• providing a notification to the user as to when to proceed to the meeting place in order to be on time based on the estimated time of arrival.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium having control logic stored therein for causing a computer to provide location-sensitive and time-sensitive calendaring, the control logic comprising computer-readable program code for causing the computer to:

• determine that a time reading is within a predetermined minimum of a meeting start time of an appointment of a calendar of a user, wherein the appointment comprises a meeting start time, a meeting place and a plurality of meeting attendees and wherein the time reading is the present time;
• determine the location of the user;
• determine the location of the meeting place;
• determine an estimated time of arrival of the user at the meeting place based on a velocity of the user;
• if the estimated time of arrival is after the meeting start time, then send a late message from a server to the plurality of meeting attendees via a wireless network;
• send a roll call request to the plurality of meeting attendees;
• receive at least one of current locations or approximate arrival times of the plurality of attendees in response to sending the roll call request;
• and
• provide a notification to the user as to when to proceed to the meeting place in order to be on time based on the estimated time of arrival.
