7. A machine readable storage medium storing executable instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- displaying a calendar interface on a display device;
receiving an indication that an active drag operation of a selection of text is located over the calendar interface;
extracting a first set of elements from the selection of text;
generating a calendar event using the first set of elements;
displaying the calendar event in a temporary state in the calendar interface while the active drag operation is over the calendar interface, wherein the displayed calendar interface is updated to reflect the first set of elements.

Abstract
A text input is received in a calendar context. The text input is processed with a context-neutral extraction process to generate a first set of elements and with a calendar-specific extraction process to generate a second set of elements. A calendar event is created from the first set of elements and the second set of elements and displayed on a display device without confirming the elements of the calendar event with a user.

19. A data processing system comprising:
-
means for receiving a first set of elements and a second set of elements; means for merging the first of elements and the second set of elements according to a conflict resolution rule, wherein the first set of elements is associated with a user input to a calendar interface means and the second set of elements is extracted from a text input using at least one extracting means; means for displaying, on a hardware display device, a calendar event generated using the merged elements, wherein the calendar event is displayed without user confirmation of the merged elements. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
