Abstract
The vast majority of today'"'"'s busy families with computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and cell phones (all modern computing devices classified generally as computers), still use wall calendars, sticky notes, and kitchen message boards to coordinate their everyday activities. The complexity of family schedules and household information, ease of use, ease of access, and portability have remained powerful barriers to adoption of electronic solutions. This invention features computer-based input methods for use in group calendaring such that in the shortest possible amount of time, and with the least amount of effort, notations can be made of one or more events or tasks pertaining to one or more people using computers in one or more computer networks.
