SMART NOTIFICATIONS USING A CALENDAR

摘要

Notifications are delivered to a user based in part on a user's current context. The notifications may be based on personal information (e.g. calendar events, tasks, alerts, and the like) as well as a context of a user. The notifications may be delivered using different types of notifications. The type of notification selected may be based on the current context of the user. Notifications may also be sent to other users (e.g. that are part of a trusted group) in response to a change in state of the event (e.g. the task completed). Instead of a user receiving notifications at preset times, notifications are delivered to the user using their current context. A group member may also create a message to another member requesting an action. When a response is made, the requesting group member receives a notification and the other group members may also receive notifications.
