AUTOMATED UPDATE OF TIME BASED SELECTION
A computer implemented method for setting time based selections in an application may include obtaining saved settings relating to a first time setting and setting second time settings based on the saved settings. The saved settings may include a first time setting and a time stamp corresponding to the first time setting. Setting the second time settings based on the saved settings may include using a relation between the time stamp and the first time settings to set the second time settings. Setting the second time settings based on the saved settings may include determining the relation of the time stamp to the first time setting and setting the second time setting such that the relation exists between the current time and the second time setting.
1 . A computer implemented method for setting time based selections in an application, comprising:
obtaining saved settings including a first time setting and a time stamp corresponding to the first time setting; and
setting a second time setting, different from the first time setting, based on the saved settings, wherein a relation between the time stamp and the first time setting is used to set the second time setting.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein setting the second time setting based on the saved settings includes determining the relation of the time stamp to the first time setting and setting the second time setting such that the relation exists between the current time and the second time setting.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein setting the second time setting based on the saved settings includes shifting each value in the first time setting by a value corresponding to a difference between the time stamp and a current time.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a user with an option to save entered time settings as the first time setting.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the time stamp corresponds to a time when the first time setting was entered.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the time stamp corresponds to a time when the first time setting was used by the application.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the time stamp corresponds to a time when the first time setting was saved by the user.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first time setting is a setting previously used by the application.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the time setting includes at least one of a year, a month, a day, an hour and a minute, intervals and combinations thereof.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising saving the current time and the second time setting.
11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising saving the current time as the time stamp and saving the second time setting in place of the first time setting.
12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a set of saved instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
obtain saved settings including a first time setting and a time stamp corresponding to the first time setting; and
set a second time setting, different from the first time setting, based on the saved settings, wherein a relation between the time stamp and the first time setting is used to set the second time setting.
13 . A computer system for setting time based selections in an application comprising:
a data storage device storing data including a first time setting and a time stamp corresponding to the first time setting;
a processor in communication with the data storage device, the processor being configured to:
obtain the saved settings stored in the data storage device; and
set a second time setting, different from the first time setting, based on the saved settings, wherein a relation between the time stamp and the first time setting is used to set the second time setting.
14 . The computer system of claim 13 , wherein setting the second time setting based on the saved settings includes shifting each value in the first time setting by a value corresponding to the difference between the time stamp and a current time.
15 . The computer system of claim 13 , wherein setting the second time setting based on the saved settings includes determining the relation of the time stamp to the first time setting and setting the second time setting such that the relation exists between the current time and the second time setting.
16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide a user with an option to save entered time settings as the first time setting.
17 . The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the time stamp corresponds to a time when the first time setting was entered.
18 . The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the time stamp corresponds to a time when the first time setting was used by the application.
19 . The computer system of claim 13 , wherein the time stamp corresponds to a time when the first time setting was saved.
