1. A method for controlling digitally storable events on a computer system that can be accessed via the Internet, the events being predefinable by a user, the method comprising:

  • receiving movement information of the user;

    recording route information digitally in a user-specific manner by saving at least a starting point and intermediate points, the number of intermediate points being determined by a tracking interval;

    associating a digitally stored event, specified by the user through a mobile device, with at least one item of the route information stored on a server of the computer system remote from the mobile device, wherein the digitally stored event determines a digitally controlled process;

    performing statistical computations on the received user movement information and the user-specific recorded route information so as to recognize a route being traveled by the user;

    determining a length of the tracking interval based on a frequency of the recognized route being traveled by the user;

    storing, in advance of the performing statistical computations step, an end point of the movement information; and

    using the recognized route being traveled so as to determine the digitally stored event and start the digitally controlled process.
