method and device for providing direct automatic access of a calendar task from a non calendar task

摘要

Method of, and apparatus for, providing direct automatic access of a calendar task from a non-calendar task, which substantially reduces the difficulties of conventional systems. The invention allows a user to place a cursor under a date in a non-calendar task and press a date selection key. When the date is selected in this way, the calendar task is invoked, and the user's calendar for that date is displayed to the user. When the user exits the calendar task, the user is returned to the non-calendar task. Another aspect of this invention is that the user can alternatively use a special selection mode and select the non-calendar task object containing the date instead of the date contained within such non-calendar task object to automatically access the calendar task.
