SYSTEM AND METHOD TO LOCALIZE APPLICATIONS ON A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for configuring a mobile computing device to correlate multiple local times, the method comprising:
- providing a multiple-choice option for associating a schedule with a time zone, the option including a default time zone, a remote time zone, and a fixed local time;
receiving a user selection of the option for the schedule;
detecting a location of the mobile computing device; and
adjusting the schedule based on the location of the mobile computing device and the user selection of the option for the schedule.

Abstract
A method (and corresponding system and computer program product) for localizing applications on a computing device to the current device geographic location is described. In one embodiment, a method detects the location of the computing device, identifies an applicable location profile based on the device location, the applicable location profile containing a rule for localizing an application on the mobile computing device, and localizes the application based on the rule. In another embodiment, a method correlates multiple local times by determining a local time of the device location, adjusting an existing schedule based on the local time and user preference information, and generating a notification based on the adjusted schedule and the user preference information.
