Location Based Personal Organizer

Abstract

Present invention discloses a location specific personal organizer system for communication devices. Personal organizer, as a combined application with contact list of communication device or as a stand alone application; is provided with means to link task with anticipated location and corresponding GPS coordinates. Means is provided in GPS enabled communication device to determine if any task in personal organizer is due at its current location. Task due at current location is displayed on communication device. According to another aspect of the invention means is disclosed to auto fill information into data fields of contact list entry in communication device in response to information provided in a unique identifier data field of contact list entry.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for providing location-based notifications using a mobile communication device equipped with an on-board GPS device and a remote server having access to a remote geo-code database, the remote geo-code database storing contact information linked to geographical locations such that each set of GPS coordinates corresponding to a respective geographical location is mapped to a set of contact information corresponding to the respective geographical location, the mobile device configured to be communicable to and from the remote server, the mobile device configured to store and display a reminder collection of one or more reminder entries, each said reminder entry configured to store a respect set of reminder information including a respective entity-representing text representing a respective entity corresponding to a respective geographical location, a respective set of GPS coordinates corresponding to the respective geographical location, and a respective reminder text denoting a respective task linked with the respective geographical location, each said reminder entry configured to have a respective set of user interfaces which, when selectively displayed on the mobile device, at least enable the user to view at least a subset of the respective set of reminder information of the respective reminder entry and enable to user to input data used to derive specific information subsequently stored as a subset of the respective set of reminder information of the respective reminder entry, the method comprising:
 the mobile device displaying a first user interface enabling the user to input a first input text so that the mobile device receives and subsequently stores the first input text as the respective reminder text of a first reminder entry of the reminder collection viewable through the respective set of user interfaces of the first reminder entry; 
 the mobile device displaying a second user interface enabling the user to input a second input text intended by the user as identifying information calculated to be specific enough to be used to identify and locate the respective entity of the first reminder entry, the second user interface included in the respective set of user interfaces of the first reminder entry; 
 the mobile device receiving the second input text and sending to the remote server the input second text; 
 the mobile device receiving from the remote server a first set of geo-data including both a first location-representing text of a first entity corresponding to a first geographical location and a first set of GPS coordinates corresponding to the first geographical location, as a result of the remote server, upon receiving the second input text, retrieving from the remote geo-code database, based on the second input text, the first set of geo-data; 
 the mobile device storing the received first location-representing text of the first geographical location and the received first set of GPS coordinates corresponding to the first geographical location as the respective location-representing text of the first reminder entry and the respective set of GPS coordinates of the first reminder entry, respectively; and 
 the mobile device displaying an indication indicating a presence of the respective reminder text of the first reminder entry so as to remind of performing of the respective task denoted by the respective reminder text when a set of contemporaneous GPS coordinates of the mobile device corresponding to a contemporaneous geographical location of the mobile device, as captured by the on-board GPS device, correspond to the stored respective set of GPS coordinates of the first reminder entry.
