Time-to-Leave Reminders Using Visited Address Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with touch-sensitive displays provide reminders based on default values or outdated information, failing to consider the user's location and previously-visited addresses, which can lead to inefficient and cognitively burdensome interactions.
Innovation Solution
The system automatically identifies calendar entries with unknown geographic locations, retrieves previously-visited addresses, determines a departure time, and generates intelligent reminders based on the route to these addresses, reducing the need for manual input and enhancing the efficiency of reminder generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the system automatically retrieves previously-visited addresses and determines departure time, then the intelligence and accuracy of reminders is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically retrieves previously-visited addresses and calculates departure times without requiring user intervention. The electronic device serves itself by autonomously accessing location history, performing route calculations, and generating intelligent reminders, thereby improving reminder accuracy while minimizing the need for additional user-facing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-retrieves and stores previously-visited addresses in advance, so that when a reminder is needed, the information is already available for immediate processing. This preliminary data collection enables accurate departure time calculation without adding complexity to the reminder generation process itself
2Ease of operation
If the system requires fewer touch inputs, then the ease of operation is improved, but the functionality for manual customization may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates intelligent reminders by retrieving previously-visited addresses and calculating optimal departure times without requiring user input. This self-service approach simplifies operation while maintaining adaptability through automated learning from user location patterns
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from previously-visited addresses to automatically determine departure times. By learning from historical location data, the system adapts to user preferences and behaviors, providing customized reminders without requiring manual input, thus balancing ease of operation with adaptability
3Productivity
If the system uses previously-visited addresses for route calculation, then the productivity of reminder generation is improved, but the loss of information about current location context increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-retrieves previously-visited addresses and stores them for future reference. When generating a reminder, it quickly accesses this pre-collected information and combines it with current location data, enabling efficient reminder generation while maintaining accurate location context through the integration of both historical and real-time information

AI summary
Systems and methods for identifying on an electronic device an identifier and an associated time, date, or time and date, wherein the identifier is a name of an entity that a user is scheduled to visit at the associated time, date, or time and date. Determining, at around the time, date, or time and date, using a location sensor, a location of the electronic device as an entity address. Associating the identifier with the entity address and storing the identifier and associated entity address. Upon receipt of the identifier as an input: retrieving, using the identifier, the entity address, displaying, at the touch-sensitive display, a selectable user interface element corresponding to the entity address, receiving a selection of the selectable user interface element corresponding to the entity address, and in response to receiving the selection, providing the entity address to an application on the electronic device for use.
