Applications and methods for providing a reminder or an alert to a digital media capture device
First Claim
1. An application for communicating event reminders to a digital device, the application comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program instructions embodied in the medium, the computer-readable program instructions comprising:
- first instructions for generating a calendar view that represents time in calendar format, and for associating events with respective periods of time; and
second instructions for generating an event reminder that is displayed in the calendar view, and for providing communication of the event reminder to the digital device prior to the event wherein the digital device comprises a media capture device adapted to capture media from a location of the event.

Abstract
A notification system that reminds and/or alerts a digital media capture device that a media event that warrants capture is imminent. The notification system is implemented in conjunction with a digital planner such that event reminders are placed in the digital planner of a digital device and alerts are then sent to an associated digital media capture device proximate to the occurrence of the media event. The alerts may be sent to internal digital media capture devices or the alerts may be sent to external digital media capture devices that are remote from the device on which the digital planner is implemented.

14. A digital device, the device comprising:
-
a processing unit that executes computer-readable program instructions for accessing media files, the computer-readable program instructions comprising; first instructions for generating a calendar view that represents time in calendar format, and for associating events with respective periods of time, and second instructions for generating an event reminder that is displayed in the calendar view, and for providing communication of the event reminder to a digital media capture device prior to the event, the digital media capture device being adapted to capture media from a location of the event; and a display in communication with the processing unit that presents a display of the calendar view and media event reminder. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
