Abstract

A method and a system for confirming an event using a short-range wireless communications network are disclosed. The mechanism includes various steps including monitoring the event, verifying the event, and performing a function when the event is verified. In one embodiment, a series of events are initially entered in a scheduling database such as a calendar software. Once the events are stored in the scheduling database, the mechanism monitors the events in accordance with a predefined sequence. In one aspect, the events may be ordered in a chronological order. If an occurrence of the event according to a predefined sequence is detected, the mechanism obtains ambient information using its short-range wireless capability to verify the actual occurrence of the event. Upon verifying the occurrence of the event, the mechanism performs a function, which can be a predetermined function or a real-time instructed function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to communication networks. More specifically, the present invention relates to wireless communications. Background technique [0002] With the increasing popularity of time management using calendaring software, such as Microsoft Outlook TM Calendar program to schedule and manage conferences, business meetings and social events. Contact software, for example, can combine multiple meeting coordination functions such as e-mail and calendar management into one simple operation. For example, a user can schedule a meeting by sending an email inviting each of the planned meeting attendees in a single operation. Any subsequent acceptance or rejection emails from scheduled meeting attendees can typically be used to automatically update the meeting's attendee roster. [0003] More recently, capabilities for accessing software that exist on desktop computers have been incorporated into portable devices such as personal digital a...
