Event Scheduling Module for Automatic Text Parsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional scheduling systems, including printed and electronic calendars, lack the ability to automatically detect and schedule events based on text content, limiting their efficiency and accessibility.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and device that detects keywords in text applications to automatically schedule events by parsing text for time and date information, assigning weights to keywords, and determining the collective weight value to identify and notify users of scheduled or potential events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If traditional printed or electronic calendars are used for scheduling, then users can maintain their calendar manually, but the system lacks automatic event detection and scheduling capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects events from text messages and emails without requiring manual user input. The event detection module scans incoming messages, identifies event keywords, and automatically creates calendar entries, allowing the scheduling system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The scheduling system is integrated with multiple communication platforms including SMS, email, and messaging applications. A single system performs both traditional calendar management and automatic event detection from various text sources, eliminating the need for separate manual scheduling processes
2Adaptability or versatility
If web-based calendars are used, then users can access their calendar from anywhere with Internet access, but appointment capabilities are generally not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the accessibility features of web-based calendars with the appointment scheduling capabilities of traditional calendar applications. By integrating event detection from web-based text messages and emails with automatic calendar entry creation, the system provides both remote accessibility and full appointment management in a single unified interface
3Productivity
If manual writing on printed calendars is used, then users can schedule events, but the process is time-consuming and prone to errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical process of manually writing events on printed calendars with automated text processing and pattern recognition algorithms. The event detection module automatically parses text messages and emails, identifies event information using keyword matching and pattern recognition, and creates calendar entries without requiring physical writing or manual data entry
Solution Approach 2:
The scheduling system automatically detects and extracts event information from incoming text messages and emails, eliminating the need for manual transcription. The system serves itself by automatically creating, updating, and managing calendar entries based on detected events, significantly reducing the time required for scheduling
Data Source
AI summary
A method and device are provided for scheduling an event. Text is detected in a text application of a computing device. The detected text includes at least one keyword from one or more types of keyword. At least one event associated with a user of the computing device to be scheduled based on the detected text is determined. The at least one event is automatically scheduled based on the detected text.
