Abstract

Methods, systems, and products automatically creates a calendar entry for an electronic calendar application. A graphical user interface is displayed having a text field and a date and time field. Whenever a user wishes to create a calendar entry, the user populates the text field and the date and time field. The user then selects a graphical control that automatically creates the calendar entry in the electronic calendar application.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a command from a user for an electronic note;

displaying a note entry user interface in response to the command, the note entry user interface comprising a text field, a date field, and a graphical control;

receiving text in the text field;

receiving a date and time in the date field;

receiving a selection of the graphical control;

setting a comment property equal to the text in the text field;

setting a begindate property equal to the date and time in the date field;

executing object-oriented programming that creates a calendar entry in an electronic calendar application from the comment property and the begindate property; and

storing in memory the calendar entry associated with the date and time in response to the selection of the graphical control.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the calendar entry in a calendar store.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the calendar entry as a file in the memory.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the note entry user interface as a web page.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising extracting the date and time from text.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising spell checking the text in the text field.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the calendar entry.

8. A system comprising:

a processor; and

memory for storing a software application that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;

receiving a command from a user for an electronic note;

displaying a note entry user interface in response to the command, the note entry user interface comprising a text field, a date field, and a graphical control;

receiving text in the text field;

receiving a date and time in the date field;

receiving a selection of the graphical control;

setting a comment property equal to the text in the text field;

setting a begindate property equal to the date and time in the date field;

executing object-oriented programming that creates a calendar entry in an electronic calendar application from the comment property and the begindate property; and

storing in memory the calendar entry associated with the date and time in response to the selection of the graphical control.

9. The system according to claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise storing the calendar entry in a calendar store.

10. The system according to claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise storing the calendar entry as a file in the memory.

11. The system according to claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise storing the note entry user interface as a web page.

12. The system according to claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise extracting the date and time from text.

13. The system according to claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise spell checking the text in the text field.

14. The system according to claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise displaying the calendar entry.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code that when executed causes a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a command from a user for an electronic note;

displaying a note entry user interface in response to the command, the note entry user interface comprising a text field, a date field, and a graphical control;

receiving text in the text field;

receiving a date and time in the date field;

receiving a selection of the graphical control;

setting a comment property equal to the text in the text field;

setting a begindate property equal to the date and time in the date field;

executing object-oriented programming that creates a calendar entry in an electronic calendar application from the comment property and the begindate property; and

storing in memory the calendar entry associated with the date and time in response to the selection of the graphical control.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise storing the calendar entry in a calendar store.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise storing the calendar entry as a file in the memory.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise storing the note entry user interface as a web page.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise extracting the date and time from text.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise spell checking the text in the text field.
