Abstract

Provided is a method for automatic execution of actionable tasks, which facilitates the creation of a platform for one-point management of multiple activities and events by enabling automatic performance of various tasks associated with sending wishes and gifts, travel check-ins, travel planning, banking, dining out, making reservations, and other activities. The method may utilize data associated with events or activities from one or more input sources. The method may include identifying one or more actionable tasks, creating one or more automatically executable tasks based on the one or more actionable tasks, executing the created automatically executable actionable tasks, and presenting the results to the user.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, executable by a processor, for automatic execution of actionable tasks of a user, the method comprising:

monitoring one or more input sources associated with the user to identify one or more actionable tasks;

identifying the one or more actionable tasks;

analyzing the one or more actionable tasks to create one or more automatically executable tasks based on predetermined execution criteria;

identifying the one or more automatically executable tasks that can be executed without further user involvement and executing them based on the predetermined execution criteria;

providing an executable control via a user interface to receive a user request to execute the one or more automatically executable tasks;

receiving, via the user interface, the user request to execute the one or more automatically executable tasks; and

selectively executing the one or more automatically executable tasks.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the one or more input sources include one or more of the following:

a social network, a calendar, an email system, a blog, a website, a contact list, a telephone call history, and an SMS history.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the monitoring of the one or more input sources includes analyzing activities and events associated with the input sources.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the executable control is displayed within a context of the one or more input sources associated with the one or more actionable tasks.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user interface is associated with a mobile application.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the one or more automatically executable tasks are presented with one or more of the following properties:

a name of an event, a date, and a name of the one or more input sources.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the identification of the one or more actionable tasks is based on information associated with an account of the user or a group of users to which the user belongs.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the executable control includes one or more predetermined options.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user indicates a delay to precede the execution of the one or more automatically executable tasks.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the execution of the one or more automatically executable tasks includes one or more of the following:

sending a gift, an email, an SMS, setting up a conference.

11. A system for automatic execution of actionable tasks of a user, the system comprising:

a monitoring module executable by a processor and configured to monitor one or more input sources associated with the user, analyze activities and events associated with the input sources, and receive inputs from the one or more input sources;

a communication module executable by a processor and configured to receive the user request to execute one or more automatically executable tasks, receive from the analysis and execution module a task execution result, and present the result to the user;

an analysis and task creation module executable by a processor and configured to analyze the one or more actionable tasks and create one or more automatically executable tasks based on predetermined execution criteria; and

an execution module executable by a processor and configured to execute the one or more automatically executable tasks.

12. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the monitoring module is further configured to monitor one or more of the following:

a social network, a calendar, an email system, a blog, a website, a contact list, a telephone call history, and an SMS history.

13. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the communication module is further configured to receive inputs from one or more of the following:

a social network, a calendar, an email system, a blog, a website, a contact list, a telephone call history, and an SMS history.

14. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the analysis and task creation module is further configured to create the one or more actionable tasks based on data retrieved from one or more of the following:

a social network, a calendar, an email system, a blog, a website, a contact list, a telephone call history, and an SMS history.

15. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the analysis and task creation module is further configured to present to the user the created automatically executable tasks while contemporaneously displaying an executable control that enables executing the displayed automatically executable tasks.

16. The computer system of claim 11, wherein presenting the created automatically executable tasks to the user further comprises presenting the one or more of the following related properties:

a name of an event, a date, and a name of the one or more input sources.

17. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the execution module is further configured to automatically execute, without user action and based on the predetermined execution criteria, the created automatically executable tasks identified as automatically executable tasks whose execution can be performed without further user involvement.

18. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the task creation module is further configured to distinguish the automatically executable tasks, the execution of which can be performed based on the predetermined execution criteria without further user involvement.

19. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the monitoring module further comprises a task identification sub-module module, configured to identify the one or more actionable tasks.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more computers, causes the one or more computers to:

monitor one or more input sources associated with a user to identify one or more actionable tasks;

identify the one or more actionable tasks;

analyze the one or more actionable tasks to create one or more automatically executable tasks based on predetermined execution criteria;

distinguish one or more automatically executable tasks that can be executed without further user involvement and execute them based on predetermined criteria;

provide an executable control via a user interface to receive a user request to execute the one or more automatically executable tasks;

receive, via the user interface, the user request to execute the one or more automatically executable tasks;

selectively execute the one or more automatically executable tasks.
