Patent Images
1. An apparatus for providing a reminder of a task to be performed at a task location, the apparatus comprising:
- a monitoring module configured to receive location information of a user of a mobile device;
a data store for storing information that includes a task and a task location; and
a reminder module configured to provide a reminder for the task based on a current location of the user and on a comparison of an estimated probability of the user traveling in a trajectory leading toward the task location and an estimated probability of the user traveling in a trajectory leading away from the task location.

Abstract
Providing a reminder of a task to be performed at a task location includes receiving location information identifying a location of a user via a mobile communication device associated with the user, receiving information that identifies a task, receiving information that identifies a task location, and providing a reminder for the task based on a current location of the user and on a comparison of an estimated probability of the user traveling in a trajectory leading toward the task location and an estimated probability of the user traveling in a trajectory leading away from the task location.
