METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING A SCHEDULING DATABASE
First Claim
1. A method for modifying a scheduling database via a mobile electronic communications device in communication with a proximate electronic device comprising a display device, when said mobile electronic communications device is engaging in an oral communications session with a second communications device, the method comprising:
- retrieving, via said mobile electronic communications device, time slot data associated with a first available time slot from said scheduling database;
wirelessly transmitting, via said mobile electronic communications device, said time slot data associated with said first available time slot to said proximate electronic device to cause said proximate electronic device to display said time slot data associated with said first available time slot at said display device such that said time slot data is viewable at said proximate electronic device when said time slot data is not viewable at said mobile electronic communications device, wherein said retrieving step and said wirelessly transmitting step occur automatically in response to actuation of an input device at said mobile electronic communications device; and
receiving input data at said mobile electronic communications device, andif said input data is representative of a command to update said scheduling database,updating, via said mobile electronic communications device, an entry of said scheduling database based on said time slot data associated with said first available time slot displayed at said display device.

Abstract
A mobile electronic communications device and a method for modifying a scheduling database are provided. The scheduling database is modified via the mobile electronic communications device in communication with a proximate electronic device comprising a display device, the mobile electronic communications device is engaging an oral communications session with a second communications device. Time slot data associated with an available time slot is retrieved from the scheduling database, via the mobile electronic communications device. The time slot data is transmitted to the proximate electronic device causing it to display the time slot data at the display device. Input data representative of a command to update the scheduling database is received at the mobile electronic communications device. An entry of the scheduling database is updated, via the mobile electronic device, based on the time slot data associated with the available time slot displayed at the display device.
