System and methods for scheduling and tracking events across multiple time zones

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

• display labels corresponding to a plurality of time zones on a display in communication with the processor;
• associate the plurality of time zones with at least one of home time, local time and remote time, wherein said home time comprises a time zone in which the user normally resides, said local time comprises a time zone in which a user is presently located and said remote time comprises any time zone other than the home time and the local time;
• receive user input specifying a beginning time for a time-based event in a first time zone, wherein the time-based event is distinct from a current time from a system clock;
• concurrently display on the display, adjacent to the labels, the beginning time of the time-based event in the plurality of time zones;
• and
• change the beginning time of the time-based event in terms of the local time based at least in part on change in location of the user.

A computer software system stored in at least one memory, the computer software system including executable computer-readable program instructions stored thereon, the computer-readable program instructions configured to, when executed by at least one processor, implement a method of entering and visualizing timing across time zones of a time-based event that is distinct from a current time from a system clock, the method comprising:

• displaying labels corresponding to a plurality of time zones;
• associating the plurality of time zones with at least one of home time, local time and remote time, wherein said home time comprises a time zone in which the user normally resides, said local time comprises a time zone in which a user is presently located and said remote time comprises any time zone other than the home time and the local time;
• receiving user input specifying a beginning time for a time-based event in a first time zone, wherein the time-based event is distinct from a current time from a system clock;
• concurrently displaying, adjacent to the labels, the beginning time of the time-based event in the plurality of time zones;
• and
• changing the beginning time of the time-based event in terms of the local time based at least in part on change in location of the user.
