System and method for preventing the lapse of a recurring event using electronic calendar system
First Claim
1. A system for preventing the elapse of a recurring event comprising:
- a memory containing a recurring event established with a predetermined end date;
a user interface; and
a processor connected to the memory and user interface and configured to cause presentation on the user interface of a notification regarding an impending lapse of the recurring event at a predetermined time of the predetermined end date for the recurring event, the processor being further configured to modify the end date of the recurring event according to an indication received by the processor from the user interface when the recurring event is to continue, wherein the user interface is further configured to;
present a reminder regarding the impending lapse at least one of before and during the predetermined end date, and prompt regarding prevention of the impending lapse of the recurring event upon a last recurrence of the recurring event, the indication to modify the end date being received by the processor from the user interface according to a user input relative to at least one of the reminder and the prompt.

Abstract
A system and method for preventing the lapse of a recurring event includes an electronic calendar program having the capability of establishing a recurring event with a predetermined end date. A processor is operative for notifying an organizer of the event at a predetermined time of the end date for the recurring event and permitting the organizer to modify the end date of the recurring event if the event is to continue. The electronic calendar program and processor is operative in a mobile wireless communications device that includes a housing and radio frequency (RF) transceiver contained within the housing such that notifications of the new end date can be transmitted to and received by attendees of the event, including any changed meeting information.

9. A method for preventing the elapse of a recurring event, which comprises:
-
inputting data to a memory of a communications device about a recurring event established with a predetermined end date; processing the data within a processor of the communications device to present on a user interface of the communications device a notification regarding an impending lapse of the recurring event at a predetermined time of the predetermined end date for the recurring event; modifying data regarding the end date of the recurring event by inputting new data to the processor from the user interface when the recurring event is to continue; presenting a reminder on the user interface regarding the impending lapse at least one of before and during the predetermined end date; and displaying a prompt via the user interface regarding prevention of the upcoming lapse of the recurring event upon a last recurrence of the recurring event, the indication to modify the end date being received by the processor from the user interface according to the user input relative to at least one of the reminder and the prompt. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
