摘要

A system creates filters and provides tasks based on a geographic location associated with each task. The geographic location may be in one of several types of coordinate formats, and determined by the actual user location when the task is created of input associated with a desired location. When a user requests tasks for a specified geographic location, the user's tasks are filtered by a particular geographic location associated with the request. The filter may allow tasks that match the location and are within a threshold distance of the location. Tasks having a geographical location that are outside the threshold distance from the location are not provided. When managing tasks from a mobile device, the geographic location can be automatically determined by the mobile device. When managing tasks from a non-mobile device, the geographical location may be received or derived from user input.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for accessing tasks, comprising:
receiving user input from a user by a mobile device, the user input task data including a description of one or more tasks to be performed by the user and indicating a planned route provided by the user; determining a current geographic location of the mobile device and selecting the current geographic location as a first geographic location of the user by at least one of the mobile device and a computer system communicatively coupled to the mobile device; filtering the one or more tasks by at least one of the mobile device and the computer system based on the first geographic location of the user and the planned route provided by the user; providing to the user first task data that has been designated as a public task and which passes the filtering and includes a description of one or more first tasks to be performed by the user at the first geographic location along the planned route provided by the user, the one or more first tasks being a subset of the one or more tasks to be performed by the user, by displaying the provided first task data in a map on a display of the mobile device; and not providing to the user task data designated as private by another user and other task data describing at least one task of the one or more tasks that is outside a threshold distance of the first geographic location.
