PROXIMITY-DEPENDENT EVENTS
First Claim
1. A method for generating time-dependent events based on proximity-dependent events in a calendar application of a portable electronic device, said method comprising:
- providing a proximity-dependent event generated using said calendar application, said proximity-dependent event including a user field and a subject field;
prompting a user to select a type of time-dependent event that said proximity-dependent event is to be converted into;
opening a new time-dependent event having said type; and
copying said name field and said subject field from said proximity-dependent event into corresponding fields in said new time-dependent event;
wherein said proximity-dependent event is deleted following population of said corresponding fields in said new time-dependent event.

Abstract
A calendar application for use with a first portable electronic device includes time-dependent events having a start time and an end time and proximity-dependent events having a specified device ID that corresponds to a second portable electronic device. Both the time-dependent events and the proximity-dependent events are stored in the calendar application and the proximity-dependent event is convertible into a time-dependent event. A proximity reminder is generated when the second portable electronic device is in short range radio frequency communication range of the first portable electronic device.
