Event reminder method
View Patent ↗A method includes setting, by a mobile device, a notification based on the mobile device being within proximity of a predetermined location at a predetermined date or time. The mobile device detects that the mobile device is located within proximity of the predetermined location at the predetermined date or time. Subsequent to the detecting, the mobile device provides the notification.
1. A method comprising:
setting, by a first mobile device, an event reminder notification based on a second mobile device being within proximity of a predetermined location at a predetermined date or time relative to a time of an event;
determining, by the first mobile device, that the second mobile device is located within proximity of the predetermined location at the predetermined date or time relative to the time of the event; and
in response to the determining, providing, by the first mobile device, the event reminder notification.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the notification is based on the second mobile device being within proximity of the predetermined location at a predetermined date.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the notification is based on the second mobile device being within proximity of the predetermined location at a predetermined time.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the determining by the first mobile device is through the first mobile device polling the second mobile device for the second mobile device's location.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the determining by the first mobile device is through the second mobile device pushing an update of the second device's location to the first mobile device.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the determining by the first mobile device is through the second mobile device emailing an update of the second device's location to the first mobile device.
7. The method of claim 1 further comprising, before the detecting, recording the first mobile device's current location for future identification as the predetermined location.
8. A method comprising:
setting, at a first mobile device, an event reminder notification to be provided by the first mobile device at a predetermined elapsed amount of time after a second mobile device enters within proximity of a predetermined location;
determining, by the first mobile device, that the second mobile device is located within proximity of the predetermined location; and
in response to the determining, providing, by the first mobile device, the event reminder notification at the elapsed amount of time from when the second mobile device has entered within proximity of the predetermined location.
9. A mobile communication device comprising:
a communication subsystem;
a memory; and
a processor connected with the communication subsystem and the memory, the processor configured for:
setting an event reminder notification based on another mobile device being within proximity of a predetermined location at a predetermined date or time;
determining that the other mobile device is located within proximity of the predetermined location at the predetermined date or time; and
in response to the detecting, providing the event reminder notification.
