Abstract

Information management systems with time zone information, including event scheduling processes are disclosed. One aspect of the invention is directed toward a computer-implemented scheduling method that can include identifying a difference between a participant time zone and a user time zone, reviewing availability information for the participant and / or one or more selected time preference periods for the participant, and selecting a time range for an event. The method can further include reviewing one or more selected time preference periods for the user. Another aspect of the invention is directed toward a computer-implemented method for associating time zone information with a contact in an information management program application that includes selecting a contact, analyzing contactinformation associated with the contact, and determining a time zone for the contact based on the analysis of the contact information.

Description

technical field [0001] The following disclosure generally relates to information management systems with time zone information, including event scheduling processes with time zone information. Background technique [0002] Today's global economy requires effective worldwide communication. For example, a manufacturer has national and worldwide suppliers. Timely and efficient communication between manufacturers and suppliers is critical to business success. In other cases, companies often assign business projects to workgroups whose members are physically located all over the world. In some cases, these working group members will belong to different organizations and / or companies. For manufacturers and suppliers, timely and effective communication is critical to the success of the workgroup. [0003] Telecommunications and other technologies such as electronic mail, video conferencing, and Internet conferencing provide timely and efficient global communication 24 hours a d...
