Abstract
Providing a contextual reminder to a mobile station includes determining a locus of the mobile station based on the position of the mobile station in both time and space. A first entry is read, where the first entry can be at least a task or an event. Both tasks and events can include a time, a date, and/or a location. The locus and the first entry can be compared to determine if the contextual reminder should be provided to the mobile station. The contextual reminder can be provided to the mobile station based on the comparison. The reminder can be provided when at least one of the time, the date and the geographical position of the mobile station is proximate to at least one of the time, date, and location of the entry.
Claims18
A method, comprising the steps of:
- determining, by a server, a current locus of a mobile station based on a time, a date and a geographical position of the mobile station;
- obtaining a first entry from at least one user application on the mobile station, wherein the first entry describes at least one of a task or an event and comprises at least two of a first entry time, a first entry date, and a first entry location;
- comparing at least one of the current locus or a second locus and at least one of the first entry or a second entry to determine if a contextual reminder should be provided to the mobile station;
- and
- providing the contextual reminder from the server to the mobile station based on the comparison step when it is determined that at least two of the time, the date or the geographical position of the mobile station is proximate to at least two of the first entry time, the first entry date, or the first entry location.
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- at least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium;
- and
- programming instructions embodied in said at least one medium for execution by a server computer, wherein the programming configures said server computer to perform functions, including functions to:
- determine a current locus of a mobile station based on a time, a date and a geographical position of the mobile station;
- obtain a first entry from at least one user application on the mobile station wherein the first entry describes at least one of a task or an event and comprises at least two of a first entry time, a first entry date, and a first entry location;
- compare at least one of the current locus or a second locus and at least one of the first entry or a second entry to determine if a contextual reminder should be provided to the mobile station;
- and
- provide the contextual reminder from the server to the mobile station based on the comparison step when it is determined that at least two of the time, the date or the geographical position of the mobile station is proximate to at least two of the first entry time, the first entry date, or the first entry location.
