ENHANCED VIEWS AND NOTIFICATIONS OF LOCATION AND CALENDAR INFORMATION

Abstract:

A system provides enhanced views and notifications of user location and calendar information. A system can analyze and display location data of one or more people with calendar data specifying locations and times of events. A user interface showing the location of one or more people displayed with details of each person's calendar allows computer users to readily determine if each person is at an appropriate location relative to their schedule. Graphical highlights or other types of notifications can also be generated when people are off calendar, on calendar, or at an appropriate location. A filtering function can be used for targeting events in a specific window in time across all members of a group or a specific member across time. In such configurations, a device can select specific calendar events based on a given time frame to allow for a more focused view on contextually relevant user activity.
