Methods, systems, and computer program products for schedule management based on locations of wireless devices
First Claim
1. A computer-readable storage device comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- predicting, by a wireless device, a delay in arrival for a future appointment based on a location of the wireless-device, a time of the future appointment, and a location of the future appointment; and
generating, by the wireless device, a prompt for a wireless-device user input to initiate a communication between the wireless device and an electronic device in response to predicting the delay in arrival for the future appointment.

Abstract
A method for managing appointments using a wireless device includes receiving scheduling data for a future appointment including a time associated with the future appointment. A current location of the wireless device is determined, and a reminder for the future appointment is provided at a time prior to the future appointment based on the current location of the wireless device. For example, the reminder may be provided at a time that varies based on the current location of the wireless device, a location associated with the future appointment, and an estimated travel time between the current location of the device and the location associated with the future appointment. Related methods, devices, and computer program products are also discussed.
