Activity Recording Module
First Claim
1. An activity recorder comprising:
- a data entry system;
a storage system for receiving and storing activity data; and
a display system, wherein the display system is in communication with the storage system and wherein the display system is configured for;
displaying a grid comprising;
time cells along a first axis, wherein each time cell has a same first axis coordinate representing a predetermined time segment; and
group cells along a second axis, wherein each group cell has a same second axis coordinate representing an activity group;
accepting input from the data entry system to display a graphical representation of a new time interval associated with an activity group, wherein the new time interval comprises a start time and an end time;
sending new activity data to the storage system for storage, where the new activity data comprises the new time interval associated with the activity group; and
signaling an alert when aggregated time intervals associated with an activity group exceed a preset amount.

Abstract
The invention refers to a system of recording the activities carried out by an individual person during specific time intervals. This system will normally be on an electronic device, but the initial method of recording may be paper-based. This system involves recording activity and associated attributes as a function of time on a grid, using lines to define the activity recorded in each grid interval. The invention is an intuitive data entry system, principally but not exclusively via touchscreen. The system will preferably be deployed on a handheld digital device with touchscreen entry capability. The activity recording system may also record values, attributes or files associated with specific time intervals. It may generate charts, tables, alerts and reminders. It may synchronize with other devices and applications and may import or export data from them.
