System and method for programmatically generating to-do list and creating notification between calendar and other applications

An apparatus for managing tasks in a dynamic task listing system, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor adapted to:
• search for open application processes in a memory by the interface application, wherein the open application processes correspond to different types of applications including at least word processing, communication, and presentation applications,
• responsive to determining there is at least one open application process, dynamically extract data for the open application process,
• query a calendar application by the interface application to determine whether a todo task listing already exists for the data extracted from the at least one open application process, and
• responsive to determining that no todo task listing exists, create the todo task listings using the extracted data for the open application processes, and
• in response to the interface application determining that the at least one open process has been closed, initiating an inquiry to a user indicating that the at least one open process has been closed and querying a user whether or not to delete the todo task listing;
• and
• a memory operatively associated with the processor and having stored thereon the todo task listing in the calendar application.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-usable medium having encoded thereon computer executable program code for integrating a calendar todo list with information from other applications in a dynamic task listing system, said computer product having:

• computer executable program code for searching for open application processes in a memory by the interface application, the open application processes corresponding to different types of applications including at least word processing, communication, and presentation applications;
• computer executable program code for, responsive to determining there is at least one open application process, dynamically extracting data for the open application process;
• computer executable program code for querying a calendar application by the interface application to determine whether a todo task listing already exists for the data extracted from the at least one open application process;
• computer executable program code for, responsive to determining that no todo task listing exists, creating the todo task listings using the extracted data for the open application process;
• computer executable program code for pushing the todo task listing to the calendar application;
• and
• computer executable program code for, in response to the interface application determining that the at least one open process has been closed, initiating an inquiry to a user indicating that the at least one open process has been closed and querying a user whether or not to delete the todo task listing.
