Location aware reminders

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments employed to generate location and proximity based reminders. To this end, a device is configured to generate its geographical location using a positioning system. The device detects when it impinges upon at least one geographical trigger based upon its geographical location. A predefined reminder is generated in the device when the device impinges upon the geographical trigger.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a computing device having a processor circuit and a display screen, the processor circuit having a processor and a memory, the computing device being associated with a user; a wireless radio integrated within the computing device; a positioning system integrated within the computing device; and a location aware reminder application executable by the processor circuit, the location aware reminder application comprising:
logic that generates a user interface rendered by the computing device, the user interface facilitating definition of a reminder, the reminder being associated with reminder text and the user interface further facilitating selection of a location associated with the reminder;logic that determines a geographic location of the computing device based at least in part upon data obtained via at least one of the positioning system or the wireless radio;logic that detects when the computing device is located within a predefined distance of the location associated with the reminder based at least in part upon the geographic location of the computing device determined based at least in part upon the data obtained via at least one of the positioning system or the wireless radio; andlogic that renders the reminder on the display screen in response to detection of the computing device being located within a predetermined radius of the location associated with the reminder.
