Abstract

A system for managing agendas in a mobile device including a GPS is provided. The system includes various software modules to remind a user about agendas when all alarm conditions of the agendas have been satisfied. The alarm conditions of the agenda include an alarm active vicinity and an alarm active time period.

Claims

1. A computing system for managing agendas in a mobile device comprising a global position system (GPS), the system comprising:

a setting module configured for setting at least one agenda, and setting alarm conditions for the at least one agenda, the alarm conditions comprising an alarm active vicinity;

a storing module configured for storing the at least one agenda and the alarm conditions of the at least one agenda into a storage device;

a positioning module configured for receiving positioning signals from the GPS, and determining a current location of the mobile device according to the positioning signals;

a trigger alarm module configured for detecting if all the alarm conditions of the at least agenda have been satisfied; and

a reminding module configured for reminding a user about the agenda upon the condition that all the alarm conditions of the agenda have been satisfied.

2. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the setting module is further configured for setting an alarm title for the at least one agenda, the reminding module further configured for displaying the alarm title via a display device of the mobile device when reminding the user about the agenda.

3. The computing system of claim 1, wherein the alarm conditions further comprise an alarm active time period.

4. The computing system of claim 3, further comprising:

a determining module configured for determining if all the alarm conditions of the agenda remain satisfied after the reminding module reminds the user about the agenda; and

an updating module configured for setting the agenda in a non-executable state upon the condition that all the alarm conditions of the agenda remain satisfied, and setting the agenda in an executable state upon the condition that one of the alarm conditions of the agenda has not been satisfied.

5. The computing system of claim 4, wherein:

the determining module is further configured for determining if the agenda remains active; and

the updating module is further configured for deleting the agenda upon the condition that the agenda is not active.

6. A method for managing agendas in a mobile device, comprising:

(a) setting at least one agenda, and setting alarm conditions of the at least one agenda, the alarm conditions comprising an alarm active vicinity;

(b) storing the at least one agenda and the alarm conditions of the at least one agenda into a storage device;

(c) receiving positioning signals from the GPS, and determining a current location of the mobile device according to the positioning signals;

(d) detecting if all the alarm conditions of the agenda have been satisfied; and

(e) reminding a user about the at least one agenda upon the condition that all the alarm conditions of the agenda are satisfied.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising a block after the block (a):

setting an alarm title of the at least one agenda, and displaying the alarm title when reminding the user about the agenda.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the alarm conditions further comprise an alarm active time period.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

determining if all the alarm conditions of the agenda remain satisfied; and

setting the agenda in a non-executable state upon the condition that all the alarm conditions of the agenda remain satisfied and setting the agenda in an executable state upon the condition that one of the alarm conditions of the agenda has not been satisfied.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

determining if the agenda remains active; and

deleting the agenda upon the condition that the agenda is not active.

11. A storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a mobile device, causing the mobile device to perform a method comprising:

(a) setting at least one agenda, and setting alarm conditions of the at least one agenda, the alarm conditions comprising an alarm active vicinity;

(b) storing the at least one agenda and the alarm conditions of the at least one agenda into a storage device;

(c) receiving positioning signals from the GPS, and determining a current location of the mobile device according to the positioning signals;

(d) detecting if all the alarm conditions of the agenda have been satisfied; and

(e) reminding a user about the at least one agenda upon the condition that all the alarm conditions of the agenda are satisfied.

12. The medium of claim 11, wherein the method further comprises a block after the block (a):

setting an alarm title of the at least one agenda, and displaying the alarm title when reminding the user about the agenda.

13. The storage medium of claim 11, wherein the alarm conditions further comprise an alarm active time period.

14. The medium of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises blocks after the block (e):

determining if all the alarm conditions of the agenda remain satisfied; and

setting the agenda in a non-executable state upon the condition that all the alarm conditions of the agenda remain satisfied and setting the agenda in an executable state upon the condition that one of the alarm conditions of the agenda has not been satisfied.

15. The medium of claim 14, wherein the method further comprises:

determining if the agenda remains active; and

deleting the agenda upon the condition that the agenda is not active.
