AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing handheld electronic devices with touch-sensitive displays typically generate departure time reminders based on default values ​​or inaccurate information, resulting in inaccurate reminders and failure to consider location information, increasing the cognitive burden on users and shortening the lifespan of the devices.

Method used

By automatically identifying calendar entries containing unknown geographical locations, retrieving previously visited addresses associated with them, determining departure times based on this, and providing intelligent reminders, user interaction is reduced and device lifespan is extended.

Benefits of technology

Provide more accurate departure time reminders, reduce the cognitive burden on users, extend device lifespan, and improve user satisfaction.

Abstract

This invention discloses a system and method for generating and providing intelligent departure time reminders on an electronic device. In one aspect, the method includes: automatically, without human intervention, identifying a calendar entry including a first identifier (e.g., text in a location-related header of the calendar entry, such as "Going to the dentist"), the first identifier corresponding to an unknown geographic location. The method also includes automatically, without human intervention, retrieving a previously visited address (e.g., a street address or GPS coordinates of a street address) associated with the first identifier. The method further includes: automatically, without human intervention, determining a departure time for the calendar entry based on the previously visited address (e.g., based on a route from the device's current location to the previously visited address). The method also includes: automatically, without human intervention, associating the determined departure time with the calendar entry.
