Patent Images
1. A method for zone based task management comprising:
- identifying at least one of a plurality of tasks within a task manager application of a computing device, wherein the plurality of tasks is comprised of at least one of a plurality of planned activities;
determining a plurality of zones associated with at least one of the identified tasks, wherein each of the plurality of zones is associated with at least one bounded geographical region; and
estimating a task duration for the identified task based on user presence historical data associated with the plurality of zones.

Abstract
The disclosure presents a solution for identifying one or more zone based tasks within a task manager application of a computing device. The tasks can be comprised of one or more planned activities. In the solution one or more zones can be determined to be associated the identified tasks. Each of the zones can be associated with one or more bounded geographical regions. A task duration for the identified task can be estimated based on user presence historical data associated with the zones. Further, an optimized task list comprising of two or more tasks can be generated from the computed estimates.
