1. A computer-implemented method of automatically generating an electronic reminder, the method comprising:
- searching an electronic communications received with an electronic communications device, using term-recognition circuitry, to identify a plurality of key terms within a conversation conveyed in the electronic communications;
recognizing a behavioral pattern associated with the electronic communications using pattern-recognition circuitry based on an arrangement of the plurality of key terms in the electronic communications; and
generating, without user intervention, at least one reminder for a user associated with the electronic communication based upon the plurality of key terms and one or more other terms in the electronic communications associated with the plurality of key terms, the generating of the at least one reminder comprising;
identifying a plurality of different pre-defined reminder templates corresponding to the plurality of key terms,selecting from the plurality of different pre-defined reminder templates at least one reminder template corresponding to one or more previous reminders for the user associated with the recognized behavioral pattern in at least one other electronic communications, andinserting the other terms into the at least one pre-defined reminder template to yield the at least one reminder for the user, the at least one reminder being electronically conveyed to the user at a time later than when the message was received.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of automatically generating an electronic reminder is provided. The method includes identifying, using term-recognition circuitry, at least one key term within an electronic message received with an electronic communications device. The method further includes generating at least one reminder based upon the at least one key term. One or more reminders are, according to the method, electronically conveyed to a user at a time later than when the message was received.

6. A system for automatically generating an electronic reminder, the system comprising:
-
a processor; a device interface module for configuring the processor to communicatively link to a communications device; a term-recognition circuitry module for configuring the processor for searching an electronic communications received with the electronic communications device to identify a plurality of key terms within a conversation conveyed in the electronic communications; a pattern-recognition circuitry module for configuring the processor for recognizing a behavioral pattern associated with the electronic communications based on an arrangement of the plurality of key terms in the electronic communications; and a reminder generator module for configuring the processor for generating, without user intervention, at least one reminder for a user associated with the electronic communication based upon the plurality of key terms and one or more other terms in the electronic communications associated with the plurality of key terms, the generating of the at least one reminder comprising; identifying a plurality of different pre-defined reminder templates corresponding to the plurality of key terms, selecting from the plurality of different pre-defined reminder templates at least one reminder template corresponding to a previous reminder for the user associated with the recognized behavioral pattern in at least one other electronic communications, and inserting the other terms into the at least one pre-defined reminder template to yield the at least one reminder for the user, the at least one reminder being based upon the at least one key term and being electronically conveyed to the user at a time later than when the message was received. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium in which computer-readable code is embedded, wherein when loaded on and executed by a computer system, the computer-readable code causes the computer system to perform the steps of:
-
recognizing a behavioral pattern associated with the electronic communications using pattern-recognition circuitry based on an arrangement of the plurality of key terms in the electronic communications; and generating, without user intervention, at least one reminder for a user associated with the electronic communication based upon the plurality of key terms and one or more other terms in the electronic communications associated with the plurality of key terms, the generating of the at least one reminder comprising; identifying a plurality of different pre-defined reminder templates corresponding to the plurality of key terms, selecting from the plurality of different pre-defined reminder templates at least one reminder template corresponding to a previous reminder for the user associated with the recognized behavioral pattern in at least one other electronic communications, and inserting the other terms into the at least one pre-defined reminder template to yield the at least one reminder for the user, the at least one reminder being electronically conveyed to the user at a time later than when the message was received. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
