COMMUNICATIONS EVENT SCHEDULER
First Claim
1. A method for scheduling electronic message events on an electronic communications device having a display, a user input device, and a communications module for communicating over a communications network with a target recipient, the method comprising:
- storing information about an electronic message event, the stored information including stored address information identifying an address of the target recipient and stored time information identifying a scheduled time for the electronic message event;
displaying on the display of the communications device, at a time determined in dependence on the stored time information, a notification of the electronic message event;
monitoring for a confirmation input through the user input device confirming a user desire to proceed with the electronic message event;
generating on the display, upon detecting the confirmation input, a message composition user interface for composing an electronic message and having a electronic message address field that is automatically populated with an electronic message address for the target recipient based on the stored address information.

19. A computer program product having a computer-readable medium tangibly embodying computer executable instructions for scheduling a electronic message event on a communications device, the instructions comprising instructions for:
-
storing at the communications device information about a future electronic message event, the stored information including stored address information identifying an address of the target recipient and stored time information identifying a scheduled time for the future electronic message event;
displaying on a display of the communications device, at a time determined in dependence on the stored time information, a notification of the future electronic message event;
monitoring for a confirmation input through a user input device confirming a user desire to proceed with the electronic message event;
automatically providing the address for the target recipient to the communications module in dependence on the stored address information after detecting the confirmation input.

20. A method for scheduling communications events on an electronic communications device having a display, a user input device, and a communications module for communicating over a communications network with a target recipient, the method comprising:
-
receiving at the communications device over the communications network information about a communications event, the communications event information including address information identifying an address of a target recipient and time information identifying a scheduled time for the communications event;
displaying on the display of the communications device, at a time determined in dependence on the time information, a notification of the communications event;
monitoring for a confirmation input through the user input device confirming a user desire to proceed with the communications event;
automatically providing the address for the target recipient to the communications module in dependence on the address information upon detecting the confirmation input. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
