SCHEDULING EVENTS FROM ELECTRONIC MESSAGES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by a computing device, the method comprising operations of:
- presenting an electronic message that contains a temporal string in a body of the electronic message;
receiving a selection during the presenting operation;
displaying a user interface according to the selection received during the receiving operation, the user interface configured with input fields to receive information about a calendar event related to the electronic message; and
populating, concurrently with the displaying operation, at least one of a day and a time associated with the temporal string into an input field of the user interface according to a predetermined criteria instead of another temporal string contained in the body of the electronic message.

7. A computing device comprising:
-
a interface device configured to present an electronic message that contains a temporal string in a body of the electronic message, and configured to receive a selection while the electronic message is presented; a display configured to show a user interface according to the selection, the user interface including input fields to receive information about a calendar event related to the electronic message; and a processor configured to cause population, concurrently with showing the user interface, of at least one of a day and a time associated with the temporal string into an input field of the user interface rather than another temporal string contained in the body of the electronic message according to a predetermined criteria. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A server computer comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to communicate an electronic message to a communications device for presentation of the electronic message that contains a temporal string in a body of the electronic message, and configured to receive a selection during presentation of the electronic message; a processor configured to cause the communications device to display a user interface according to the selection, the user interface including input fields to receive information about a calendar event related to the electronic message, wherein the processor is further configured to cause population of at least one of a day and a time associated with the temporal string into an input field of the user interface according to a predetermined criteria instead of another temporal string contained in the body of the electronic message. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
