  • Patent number: 11379093
    Abstract: A method performed by a computing system includes generating a to-do list user interface comprising a user actuatable list element corresponding to a particular entry on a to-do list associated with a user, and a user input mechanism actuatable to perform a to-do list management function comprising at least one of adding a new entry on the to-do list, deleting an existing entry on the to-do list, and modifying an existing entry on the to-do list. The method includes generating an agenda associated with the user, the agenda comprising an agenda item having an associated time period, and detecting a flick gesture on the user actuatable list element on the to-do list user interface, and adding, based on the detected flick gesture, an agenda item to the agenda associated with the user, the added agenda item corresponding to the particular entry on the to-do list.

  • Patent number: 11151518
    Abstract: A server system suitable for generating calendar events based on guided hints is provided. The server system receives, from a device of a first user, an indication to create a calendar event. The server system derives, using natural language processing, guided hints for information for the calendar event, and causes presentation of the guided hints on a user interface displayed on the device of the first user. The server system receives the information in response to the guided hints presented on the device of the first user, and generates the calendar event based on the information.

  • Patent number: 10620789
    Abstract: A to-do list management system surfaces a user interface with a user input mechanism that displays a user actuatable element for each item on a user's to-do list. It senses a flick gesture and automatically moves a to-do list item to the user's agenda. It can also sense a user input gesture and automatically remove an agenda item from the user's agenda, and place it on the user's to-do list.

  • Publication number: 20090248505
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a user with customized advertisements in response to a user indication of a desire to receive the customized advertisements. The user, by opting in and creating a user-controlled profile, indicates a desire to receive targeted and highly relevant advertisements that correspond to the user-specific information provided by the user in the user-controlled profile. This information, for example, may be the user's demographic information, location, marital status, information from the user's web-based calendar, or whether the user has children. The customized advertisements may also be selected according to the user's location, which may be determined by any location determining technique. By purchasing an item presented in a customized advertisement, referring a customized advertisement to another user, or taking some other defined action, the user may receive an incentive, such as points, currency, discounts, or credit to be used toward a future purchase.
