Proximity-based task alerts
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for generating proximity-based task alerts in a mobile computing device, the computer implemented method comprising:
- associating a geographic location with a set of tasks in a task list;
selecting a proximity of the geographic location to form a selected proximity;
determining whether the mobile computing device is within the selected proximity; and
responsive to a determination that the mobile computing device is within the selected proximity, triggering a proximity task-reminder alarm.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code to generate proximity-based task alerts in a mobile computing device. A geographic location is linked to a set of tasks in a task list. A user selects a proximity to the geographic location for the alarm to form a selected proximity. A determination is made as to whether the mobile computing device is within the selected proximity. A proximity task-reminder alarm is triggered in response to making a determination that the mobile computing device is within the selected proximity.
