Problems solved by technology

However, the ease of adding tasks to an electronic task manager can overwhelm a user; too many, irrelevant, or inappropriate tasks can distract a user from tasks that are relevant to the user at a given time and place distracted
Serving unneeded tasks not only degrades the user experience, but also wastes computing resources serving unneeded tasks that could be more efficiently used for other tasks

Embodiment Construction

[0029] The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the following description to refer to the same or like elements. While examples are described, modifications, adaptations, and other implementations are possible. For example, substitutions, additions, or modifications may be made to elements shown in the figures, and the methods described herein may be modified by substituting, reordering, or adding stages to the disclosed methods. Accordingly, the following detailed description is not limiting, but instead the proper scope is defined by the appended claims. Examples can take the form of a hardware implementation, an entirely software implementation, or an implementation combining software and hardware aspects. Therefore, the following detailed description is not to be considered in a limiting sense.

Abstract

Efficiency improvements for electronic task managers and an improved user experience are realized when more relevant and fewer irrelevant tasks are presented to users and users are given greater control in manipulating those task items. By heuristically determining times, locations, and semantics associated with task relevance and integrating the management of tasks into more applications, the functionality of the systems providing for electronic task management is improved, as computer resources are spent with greater utility to the users and the user experience is improved for the users.

Description

Background technique [0001] Electronic task management systems and applications enable users to track various tasks more efficiently than with hard copy notes; users can access the same task from multiple devices, reschedule tasks, and remotely share tasks among users. However, the ease of adding tasks to an electronic task manager can overwhelm a user; too many, irrelevant, or inappropriate tasks can distract a user from tasks that are relevant to the user at a given time and place distracted. The provision of unneeded tasks not only degrades the user experience, but also wastes computing resources for providing tasks that are not needed by the user, which could be more efficiently used for other tasks. Contents of the invention [0002] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify all key features or essential features of the claime...
