Method, system, and program for providing user location information with a personal information management program
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for providing user location information for a personal information management program, comprising:
- generating position coordinates of a wireless device and time information indicating times when the position coordinates were generated, wherein a user is associated with the wireless device;
processing the position coordinates and time information to determine whether a rate of change in distance per unit of time in a series of position coordinates at times indicates a predefined activity of the user occurring during an activity time period during which the position coordinates and the time information were generated; and
generating information on the determined predefined activity for the activity time period.

Abstract
Provided is a method, system, program, and data structures for providing user location information with a personal information manager program. Position coordinates of a wireless device associated with a user are generated, along with time information indicating a time when the position coordinates were generated. The position coordinates and time information are processed to determine geographic locations and associated time periods. For each determined geographical location and associated time period, the user of the wireless device was located at the geographical location for the associated time period. A request is received for information on the user for a selected time interval. A determination is then made of time periods associated with geographic locations that are within the selected time interval. Information is then generated on the geographic locations and associated time periods that are within the selected time interval.

20. A method for generating a calendar for a personal information management, program, comprising:
-
receiving selection of a time interval; for the selected time interval, determining position coordinates of a wireless device and time information indicating times when the position coordinates were generated, wherein a user is associated with the wireless device; processing the position coordinates and time information during the selected time interval to determine whether a rate of change in distance per unit of time in a series of the position coordinates at times during the selected time interval indicates a predefined activity of the user occurring during the selected time interval; generating information on the predefined activity within the selected time interval; and displaying information on the predefined activity of the user and the selected time interval. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
