Abstract: A method for implementing an action-based to-do list includes monitoring user actions with a personal management device which is configured to compare the user actions to a task definition file. A processor of the personal management device determines if the user actions fulfill one or more predefined conditions, within the task definition file. If a condition is fulfilled, the processor of the personal management device modifies the to-do list based on the fulfilled condition. A personal management device for implementing an action-based to-do list includes a user interface configured to allow a user to interact with a to-do list application and a processor configured to execute the to-do list application.

Abstract: A pool of candidates to respond to an issue can be determined. For each of a plurality of candidates who are included in the pool of candidates, information corresponding to a respective candidate can be accessed. The information corresponding to the respective candidate can at least indicate the respective candidate's current location and metadata pertaining to the current location. For each of the plurality of candidates who are included in the pool of candidates, the information corresponding to the respective candidate can be analyzed. Based on the analyzing the information, at least one best available candidate to respond to the issue can be determined, the best available candidate selected from the pool of candidates.

Abstract: A method to provide a confirmation warning to a target sender of an electronic communication is disclosed. The confirmation warning is provided prior to transmitting the electronic communication from the target sender to a target recipient, there being an established pattern of communication between the target sender and the target recipient. In response to determining that specified details about the electronic communication are not consistent with details about the established pattern of electronic communication, setting a pattern warning flag and saving those details of the electronic communication determined to be not consistent. In response to detecting the presence of at least one of the pattern warning flag and a sensitive message flag, making available to the target sender a confirmation warning, and, in response to the target sender confirming acceptability of the target recipient to receive the electronic communication, transmitting the electronic communication to the target recipient.
