ENHANCED TIME-MANAGEMENT AND RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for time management and recommendation, comprising:
- a processor;
a user interaction module operable to execute on the processor, and further operable obtain a list of to-do items, the user interaction module further operable to receive a specified window of time representing a block of contiguous time within which a user is available to perform a task;
an identification module operable to identify a subset of to-do items that can be performed during the specified window of time;
a prioritization module operable to prioritize the subset of to-do items; and
a switching module operable to determine whether to put a mode of interaction with the user into a virtual universe mode,wherein in response to the switching module determining that the user interaction should be put into a virtual universe mode, the user interaction module places its interaction mode into that of virtual universe.

Abstract
A set of to-do items may be obtained. A specified window of time may be received. A subset of the to-do items may be automatically prioritized as candidate tasks to be performed during the specified window of time. A prioritized subset of the to-do items may be presented. Based on one or more criteria, the mode of interaction with a user with respect to the to-do items may be in virtual universe.

6. A computer readable storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform a method of time management and recommendation, comprising:
-
obtaining a set of to-do items; receiving a specified window of time, the window of time representing a block of contiguous time duration that a user is currently available; automatically prioritizing a subset of the to-do items to be performed during the specified window of time, the prioritizing based on at least one or more of a ramp-up time needed to begin performing the to-do items, an amount of user attention needed in performing the to-do items, or interruptibility associated with the to-do items, or combinations thereof; and presenting a prioritized subset of the to-do items to the user. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
