Event-based appointment scheduling adaptive to real-time information

摘要

A method for augmenting an event-based appointment in an electronic scheduler in real-time includes retrieving an appointment data associated with an appointment. The appointment data includes an event trigger and one or more event actions depending on the event trigger. The method also includes acquiring event-related information based on the event trigger, where the event-related information is capable of determining if the event trigger is satisfied. The method further includes determining if the acquired event-related information satisfies the event trigger; and in response to determining that the event trigger is satisfied, performing the one or more event actions. A portable electronic scheduler suitable to accompany a user of the portable electronic scheduler includes a storage device and a module coupled to the storage device. The storage device is configured to store event information, and the storage device stores data corresponding to an event, wherein the data includes an event trigger and one or more event actions depending on the event trigger. The module is operable to obtain event-related information based on the event trigger, operable to determine if the event trigger is satisfied, and operable to initiate the performance of the one or more event actions in response to determining that the event trigger is satisfied.
