Method of enabling a wireless information device to automatically modify its behaviour
First Claim
1. A method of enabling a wireless information device to automatically modify its behaviour, comprising the steps of:
- (a) an end-user entering time sensitive information into a first application running on the device;
(b) a second application running on the device receiving data from the first application, the data relating to the time sensitive information, and the second application then automatically changing the behaviour of the device appropriately in dependence on the data;
in which the first application sends the data indirectly to the second application via an intermediary server.

Abstract
An end-user enters time sensitive information into an application; this, for example, may be an entry (e.g. ‘meeting’, or ‘lunch with Bob’) against specific times in an agenda or calendar application. Then, a different application on the device can utilise that information to modify the device behaviour appropriately. For example, say the ‘meeting’ in the calendar application is listed to last between 10 am and 11 am; then, during that hour, the telephone application in the device (that enables telephone functions of the device to be controlled) could automatically be set to a ‘silent’ profile so that the device does not ring on an incoming call, but instead only vibrates.
