Electronic device and method of controlling reminder notifications
A method of controlling reminders for an electronic calendar event record includes: generating a reminder notification at a first electronic device, the reminder notification associated with the calendar event record, providing an option at the first electronic device for taking a first action at the first electronic device and taking a second action at a second electronic device, the first action differing from the second action, generating an update command at the first electronic device for taking the second action at the second electronic device in response to receipt of selection of the option at the first electronic device, and sending the update command from the first electronic device for the second electronic device.
1. A computer-implemented method of controlling reminders for an electronic calendar event record, the method comprising:
generating a reminder notification at a first electronic device, the reminder notification associated with the calendar event record;
providing an option at the first electronic device for taking a first action at the first electronic device and taking a second action at a second electronic device, the first action differing from the second action;
generating an update command at the first electronic device for taking the second action at the second electronic device in response to receipt of selection of the option at the first electronic device; and
sending from the first electronic device the update command for the second electronic device.
2. The method according to claim 1 , comprising maintaining at the first electronic device, the calendar event record.
3. The method according to claim 2 , comprising setting and maintaining a calendar event reminder time for generation of said reminder notification, prior to generating the reminder notification.
4. The method according to claim 3 , comprising determining a current time is equal to the calendar event reminder time for generating the reminder notification at the first electronic device, prior to generating.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the option comprises providing an option to generate the reminder notification again later at the first electronic device and dismiss the reminder notification at the second electronic device.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein providing the option comprises providing an option to dismiss the reminder notification at the first electronic device and to generate the reminder notification again later at the second electronic device.
7. The method according to claim 1 , comprising providing a further option at the first electronic device to dismiss the reminder notification at both the first electronic device and the second electronic device in addition to providing the option at the first electronic device.
8. The method according to claim 1 , comprising providing a further option at the first electronic device to generate the reminder notification again later at both the first electronic device and the second electronic device in addition to providing the option at the first electronic device.
9. The method according to claim 1 , comprising taking the first action at the first electronic device in response to receipt of selection of the option.
10. The method according to claim 1 wherein sending the update command comprises wirelessly transmitting the update command from the first electronic device.
11. The method according to claim 1 , comprising generating an interface for enabling or disabling the selectable option such that the selectable option is generated only when enabled.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the option is provided upon generation of the reminder notification.
13. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
a display device exposed by the housing;
an input device;
a memory unit;
a processor within the housing and connected to the memory unit, the input device, and the display device; and
an application for execution by the processor for generating a reminder notification at the electronic device, the reminder notification associated with the calendar event record, providing an option at the electronic device for taking a first action at the electronic device and taking a second action at a further electronic device, the first action differing from the second action, generating an update command at the electronic device for taking the second action at the further electronic device in response to receipt of selection of the option at the electronic device, and sending the update command from the electronic device for the further electronic device.
14. A computer program product for an electronic device, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium having computer-readable code embodied therein for generating a reminder notification at the electronic device, the reminder notification associated with a calendar event record, providing an option at the electronic device for taking a first action at the electronic device and taking a second action at a further electronic device, the first action differing from the second action, generating an update command at the electronic device for taking the second action at the further electronic device in response to receipt of selection of the option at the electronic device, and sending the update command from the electronic device for the further electronic device.
